When an explosion rocked the port of Lebanon in August, our partners BETA (Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) never hesitated to help the animals who were affected by this. Whether they were left behind, lost, injured, or abandoned, BETA did everything in their power to save as many as they could and take them in at their already overflowing shelter.
RESCUE ALL DOGS has had an eventful 2020. Not only has our team of volunteers grown exponentially but we were lucky enough to get involved in a few rescue Missions outside of Montreal. The first, done in July 2020, in Manitoba (read about it here) and the other, 3 times over, in partnership with BETA (Beirut for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) in Beirut Lebanon.
Instead of giving you a long list of facts, we caught up with two of our rescuers so that THEY could tell you about their first-hand experience. In this first interview, we spoke to Rob, our communications officer and Mr. Versitily himself.
In July, we approached another rescue out in Manitoba, K9 Advocates, who have connections to the First Nation communities. There is an overwhelming number of stray dogs looking for homes out there and rescue dogs are at a disadvantage when it comes to adoption in Manitoba due to the fact that all 63 First Nation communities are so overpopulated. There are 36 rescues in Manitoba and all are very full including local shelters. Without hesitation, we jumped at the chance and immediately started raising funds to help those dogs.
We met in Springfield, Winnipeg, with our friends at K9 Advocacy (lead by Jasmine Colucci) and started to connect with the fosters who were watching over our little angels. We took the time to chat with each foster and even had them follow us on our social media so they could watch the rest of their furry friends' journey to their new forever homes unfold.
