We want to share some of the great work being done by the dedicated network of community partners that make up the Animal North Network. Here are just a few examples of how together, we are creating healthy communities for animals and people in the North.
A plane carrying 58 community dogs in search of new homes arrived at the Peterborough Airport from Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug First Nation (Big Trout Lake). This is a community about 500 kilometres north of Thunder Bay.
Bob Joseph, founder of Indigenous Corporate Training Inc., has provided training on Indigenous relations since 1994. He joins us on our podcast now to share thoughts on Indigenous perspectives of animals and animal well-being.
Whether it’s caring for the dogs, cleaning cages, or driving transport – every volunteer role matters to the Animal North Network.
Since 2015, the Ontario SPCA has been working collaboratively alongside Naotkamegwanning First Nation (Whitefish Bay), supporting their community wellness initiatives for pets and people.
We are so grateful to work alongside Second Chance Pet Network to support their community and animals in the North.
