Every dog has its day...and its organization

If you follow hart, you know that our target rescue community is
the Hobbema area because there is a large canine overpopulation
problem in this community, as there is globally. The reality
is that there are too many dogs for good homes in every corner of
the world.
So today we shout out to our friends at CaliCan. The
founders and Pack Leaders of CaliCan are past hart volunteers who
became aware of the problem in Central Valley California.
Approximately 60,000-80,000 (reported) dogs are euthanized per year
and these numbers only come from the shelters and rescues but there
are so many more that aren't found in a shelter
environment.
Our CaliCan friends are often asked, "Why California?" And
they have a simple, yet profound, answer. "A dog saved is a
dog saved."
CaliCan's goal is not only to rescue the California dogs and
find them homes in Alberta, but also to put a dent into puppy mills
and backyard breeding in California and Alberta. When you
visit dog rescue websites for Alberta, there are quite a number of
medium to large breed dogs, but small dogs are more difficult to
find. CaliCan works to match the demand for small dogs in
Alberta with the over-supply of small dogs in California. A
winning formula for the small dogs looking for their furever
families.
Education on spay/neuter and adoptions are priorities for
CaliCan and they work tirelessly to make a positive difference for
small dogs in need.
