We are proud to say that our Blood Tribe Pet Wellness Clinic was a huge success with a total of 104 dogs or cats sterilized, 52 dogs vaccinated and treated for parasites, and 66 dogs or cats rescued through the kind assistance of the many animal welfare groups who help us out. We couldn’t have done it without the 46 volunteers who worked so hard in the snowy weather.

We’re hopeful that our next clinic will be an on-site, MASH style event in the community of Standoff. But we just can’t do that without our own surgical equipment, especially an autoclave. The Task force has a good start and we do have 2 of our very own anesthetic machines and some surgical instruments.
Donations are more than welcome and can be made through the website or mailed to: 944-38 Ave. SW Calgary, AB T2T 2J2. A tax receipt for donations of $20.00 or over will be provided.
