The 2010 Vaccination Challenge!

Big Heart Rescue is thrilled to announce that we will be heading to Bella Coola on May 7th and 8th to conduct our 2nd  Animal Wellness Clinic in this community!

Because of your support in 2009 our team of vets, vet tech's and other volunteers examined, vaccinated, de-wormed, "de-fleaed" and provided minor wound care to 241 companion animals during last year's exciting two day event and we are once again looking for your support for the 2010 Vaccination Challenge.

Every $14.00 donated allows us to vaccinate one companion animal and this means that you personally have helped to save a innocent soul from the horrific diseases of Parvo and Distemper. These diseases take far too many lives and cause needless suffering and death.

Will you help to save a life
by donating $14.00 for a vaccination?

You can make a difference!

Your invaluable donation can be made via PayPal, Canada Helps, Cheque or Money Order with instructions located on the Donations page of this website.

In Loving Memory of Baby Ella
who died of both Distemper and Parvo


 

Have A Heart Necklaces

 

Big Heart Rescue extends our heart-felt thanks to Lorna Potts, Gabriola Island artist.   Lorna has generously given her time and her talent to create these amazing necklaces for us to use for fundraising, all because of her desire to see animals in desperate need of care receive the help they so deserve.

 

The Hearts have been hand crafted, set into individually designed glass pieces and then kiln fired into beautiful art necklaces.   Every piece is unique yet every piece so lovingly represents the innocent ‘hearts’ of those souls that are taken into our care for another chance at life. 

 

If you would like to open your 'heart'  and help provide a 'soft place to land' for those in need you can purchase one of these original art necklaces at Big Heart Rescue fundraising events for $20.

 

 

Big Hearts in Bella Bella

Two animal aid agencies combine forces

It’s funny that one telephone call can lead to a shift in perception, but that’s what recently happened to me when I received a call from Toronto’s Michelle Cliffe of the World Society for Protection of Animals (WSPA). We set up a meeting and, over a cup of coffee, Cliffe told me about the invaluable animal welfare work that WSPA instigates worldwide, and of her particular enthusiasm for a project they were about to undertake: assisting Big Heart Rescue with an animal wellness clinic in the northerly First Nations community of Bella Bella. She suggested I join them. On impulse, I found myself on a plane the next day along with Cliffe and Josie Kitson, also from WSPA, as well as photographer Jeremiah Armstrong, bound for the picturesque and remote community of Bella Bella. < more... >
