❤️🐾 $1,500 DONATION TO VETS AROUND THE CORNER 🐾❤️

Today, we were honoured to present $1,500 to Vets Around the Corner, raised through our New Hope Dog Rescue Wildfire Relief Online Auction.

They came to Thunder Bay to help animals displaced by the wildfires, but after seeing firsthand the deeper need for accessible veterinary care in Northwestern Ontario, they chose to stay and continue helping.

To everyone who donated, bid, shared, and supported our auction, this donation was made possible because of you. ❤️

And to Vets Around the Corner, thank you for coming, staying, and making such a difference for animals and their families in our region.

New Hope Dog Rescue Relief Auction

Our hearts are with everyone impacted by the wildfires across Northwestern Ontario.

Beginning this Sunday, New Hope Dog Rescue will be hosting an Online Relief Auction to raise funds to support pets and the people caring for them during this difficult time.

As needs continue to evolve, proceeds from the auction will be directed where they can make the greatest impact for animals affected by the wildfires.

Together, we can make a difference; one donation, one bid, and one act of kindness at a time.

If you'd like to donate an item, please send us a message.

Thank you for helping us bring hope when it's needed most.

BONNIE IS HOME — AND SHE’S GOING TO BE OKAY!

I am absolutely thrilled to share the happiest update! Bonnie survived her surgery and is now HOME, safe and resting! This sweet girl has been through so much, but she’s a fighter and today, she gets to heal surrounded by love.

I’ve included a photo of her settling in, along with the clinic invoice, so you can see just how enormous the cost of her life‑saving care was. But here’s the best part:

Because of YOU , every single donation, every share, every bit of kindness the bill is PAID.

You didn’t just donate.
You saved a life.
You gave a family hope when they were terrified and helpless.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who donated, shared, and sent love. Bonnie is alive today because this community showed up for her.

UPDATE ON BONNIE — PLEASE KEEP HER IN YOUR HEART TODAY

I want to share something truly incredible. Thanks to the overwhelming kindness of this community, we raised $1,385 for Bonnie’s emergency surgery. And then, in an act of pure compassion, Paws for Love Rescue stepped in and topped it up with an additional $2,000.

Because of all of you, Bonnie is at the clinic this morning and heading into surgery. She looks tired and weak, but she’s in good hands and she has an entire community behind her.

Let’s all send her every bit of strength, hope, and healing energy we can. She needs it.

To everyone who donated, shared, or simply cared, THANK YOU.

You didn’t just help a dog; you gave a family hope when they had none. Your kindness is the reason Bonnie is getting this chance at life.

Friends, I’m reaching out with an urgent plea. Bonnie, a beautiful Golden Retriever, has been diagnosed with pyometra, a fast‑moving, life‑threatening infection. Without surgery, she won’t survive.

Her owner loves her deeply, but simply cannot afford the $4,000 cost. This isn’t one of our rescue dogs, but compassion doesn’t stop at our own doors. When an animal is in danger and someone asks for help, we try to step in however we can.

If anyone is able to donate, no matter the amount it will go directly toward Bonnie’s surgery.

E‑transfers can be sent to:
[email protected]
I will forward all funds directly to the clinic.

Thank you, as always, for being a community that shows up when an animal needs a lifeline. Your kindness truly saves lives. ❤️

Thank you, everyone. Truly.

When we put out the call for help for an unknown individual caring for 21 dogs with no food, our community didn’t hesitate for a second. You showed up with compassion, generosity, and urgency and because of you, we were able to gather 1,000 pounds of donated dog food to make sure those dogs don’t go hungry.

Your kindness is the reason these animals will have full bellies and a bit of comfort in a very uncertain situation. We are deeply grateful for every single person who donated, shared the post, or reached out wanting to help.

The food is now on its way, and we will share an update as soon as it’s delivered all thanks to you.

Your support changes lives, and today you proved it again.

URGENT HELP NEEDED THIS EASTER WEEKEND

We’re desperately looking for someone travelling from Mississauga toward the Elliot Lake / Bruce Mines area who can deliver donated dog food to a man caring for 21 rescue dogs. He is out of food and truly struggling. He has been doing everything he can to care for them, but he’s now in a critical spot and needs support immediately.

New Hope is hoping to bring some of these dogs into care, but we need fosters and transport before we can move them. Right now, getting food to them is the most urgent priority.

If you’re travelling north this Easter weekend or even partway please reach out to Val 807 624-8686

A single ride could mean everything for these dogs.

Please share. Woof thanks!!
