At a loss for words 😔. My heart is broken and I wish I knew anything 💔. I’m so proud to have been a part of this amazing rescue and have only ever known honesty and transparency with anyone involved
Also!!! Had the chance to love some of the most amazing fosters and we “foster failed “ with half and never had a single issue
It is with heavy hearts that we are reaching out to inform our community, supporters, and fosters that the ARTS Leadership Team has made the difficult decision to officially wind down operations and close the rescue effective immediately.
We know there have been questions, concerns, and uncertainty circulating recently. Due to the loss of our official charitable and corporate registration, along with unverified financial record-keeping, the Leadership Team cannot continue operating or accepting donations.
Because the current Leadership Team cannot independently verify or audit these financial matters, we strongly advise anyone who believes their funds were improperly accounted for, or who has questions regarding tax receipts or donations, to contact:
The Edmonton Police Non Emergency at 780-423-4567. We have a file with the Edmonton Police 260801101.
The CRA, through their website: https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/charities-giving/giving-charity-information-donors/report-suspected-donation-scams-non-compliance.html
Our top priority during this transition remains the welfare and safety of every animal currently within the rescue network. We are working responsibly with our foster families and trusted rescue partners to ensure all animals are safely cared for and supported.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported the animals and given their time, care, and compassion to our mission over the years. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate winding down operations.
Thank you,
The ARTS Leadership Team
