Our social media presence hasn't been strong lately but there's still so much happening every day behind the scenes for us.

Our Emergency Medical Fund has taken a massive hit with so many vet bills over the last 2 weeks. This Fund exists so that animals in medical distress can access urgent veterinary care and provides an affordable option so pets and families can stay together. An owner still may choose to surrender the pet, or the animal may not have an owner. In these circumstances, CAP takes on the cost of urgent vet care before transferring the animal to a partner rescue or SPCA for rehoming.

In the past 2 weeks alone, our Emergency Medical Fund has assisted with:
➡️ 5 parvo puppies
➡️ front leg amputation
➡️ dog vs porcupine x3
➡️ dog hit by car
➡️ suspected foreign body obstruction
➡️ compassionate euthanasia
➡️ puppy with degloved bottom lip
➡️ puppy with Strangles
➡️ puppy with soft tissue damage due to unknown injuries

Over 85 animals from our partner Nations have accessed our Emergency Medical Fund in 2025 so far and the calls for assistance do not stop. This Fund relies heavily on donations, fundraising and grants.

There are several ways to donate and donations of $25 or more are eligible for a charitable tax receipt:

Our Emergency Medical Fund increases access to veterinary care, relieves animal suffering, and keeps pets and families together. Recently, two dogs from 2 separate Nations accessed this Fund.

Buddy was neutered at our onsite clinic in May. His family called us July 25th after he had been hit by a car and had a deep laceration on his hind leg. Transportation to the nearest available veterinary clinic 2 hours away was a major barrier for his family, along with their comfortability to manage his recovery. We were able to help with transportation and a volunteer temporarily fostered him for 10 days while he healed up. Buddy has been reunited with his family - most importantly, his little girl - and couldn't be happier to be home!

Bibi was spayed through one of our programs back in 2022. She was recently attacked by another dog and had a bite wound on her face that turned into an abscess that burst. Again, we assisted with transport to the nearest available veterinary clinic 1.5 hours away and reunited Bibi with her owners the following day. We visited her this past week to see how she was recovering and her wound is almost all closed up and healing beautifully!

Unexpected veterinary expenses can accumulate rapidly, often forcing pet owners to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender their animals. This places extra, avoidable pressure on an already overwhelmed animal welfare system. Canine Action Project values the deep human-animal bond that people have with their pets. Our goal is to provide resources and support that keeps pets and families together.

Our Emergency Medical Fund relies heavily on donations, fundraising and grants. Please consider donating to this Fund. Donations of $25 or more a eligible for a charitable tax receipt.

Thank you to SaskEnergy for their contribution toward accommodation costs for our September Spay/Neuter & Wellness clinic in Sweetgrass First Nation!

Yesterday we joined Witchekan Lake First Nation in their celebration of 75 years of signing the Treaty. We had a lovely day engaging with community members, distributing pet food, treats and our program information and enjoyed a delicious catered meal. Thank you to all of WLFN for making us feel so welcome! 🥰
