All Creatures Rescue is dedicated to the ongoing rescue and rehabilitation of animals that have been neglected, abused or have special needs. We are a small group of volunteers based in the General Toronto Area, but work alongside a network of other rescues and sanctuaries across North America.

We do this work in our spare time, and there is much to be done! We will do our best to respond to you within 5 business days, but sometimes we get tied up with other aspects of the rescue and just can’t respond as quickly as we’d like. So please feel free to follow up with us after 5 business days if you have not heard from us.

In the meantime, please share us on social media and consider a donation to help with extensive vet bills, food and supplies.

Thank you,

All Creatures Rescue
