NOTICE:

As of January 2025, Angels of Hope has undergone a leadership transition, with a new director stepping in—someone who has been with our rescue for the past three years as our dedicated coordinator. With this change, we are actively working on updating and refining our mission and goals. A key focus of this new direction is long-term strategic planning in collaboration with the Four Nations communities we serve, aiming to address the root causes of the stray animal crisis—not just the symptoms.

​

Our efforts are now focused exclusively on four communities in southern Saskatchewan, where we’re committed to building meaningful partnerships and piloting both short and long-term solutions. We're moving beyond temporary fixes—like emergency rescues without follow-up on education, spay/neuter initiatives, or ownership accountability. While these interventions are still necessary, they are not sustainable on their own. True progress requires addressing the systemic issues through community-driven strategies.

​

At the heart of our approach is proactivity. We’ve made the intentional decision to begin working closely with one community first, allowing us to focus our efforts, assess what works and what doesn’t, and build a strong foundation. From there, we plan to adapt and expand successful strategies to the remaining three communities. This focused model allows for deeper impact and greater potential for sustainable change.

One of the biggest challenges we face is that Saskatchewan is currently in crisis—there are far more stray dogs than there are adoptive homes. In order to dedicate more time and resources to long-term planning, we’ve established strong partnerships with two sister rescues in Alberta. With their support, we’re able to place rescued dogs in short-term foster care, provide initial vetting, and arrange transports to Alberta every 4–6 weeks.

​

Please note, we are not accepting surrenders or intakes from communities outside of the four we are committed to supporting. Our work is now focused on collaborating, educating, implementing, coordinating, and transporting—all with the goal of creating sustainable, community-led change.

We appreciate your continued support and understanding as we focus on building a more effective and lasting approach to animal welfare in our region.
