Due to the overwhelming amount of auction donations we received for our Petals and Paws event, we split the event into two parts.
Event day encompassed the first part and was a great success. We cannot wait to share how much was raised and all of the happenings. We can't do that until our Petals and Paws online auction wraps up on June 02.
The second part of the event is happening now, the online auction, which gives us a chance to raise an extra $7000!
Please help us reach our goal so we can help more animals.

Are you looking for a way to make a positive impact on the lives of people and animals in need? Do you have some extra space and love to share with a furry friend? If so, you might be interested in becoming a foster for the GEARS Guardian Angel Program!
The Guardian Angel Program is a unique and compassionate initiative that helps animals while their owner are fleeing domestic violence, entering addiction programs, seeking medical treatment, serving in our countryโs military, or dealing with a natural disaster. By fostering with the Guardian Angel Program, you can make a huge difference in their lives. If you are interested in becoming a foster for the GEARS Guardian Angel Program, please visit the link below to learn more about the process and fill out an application.
The GAP program is an opportunity to help pets and owners through difficult times and stay together in the long run!

As a foster you will be supported by GEARS every step of the way.

As 2023 comes to a close, I am overwhelmed with gratitude as I reflect on the incredible support our community has shown us throughout this past year. In the face of many challenges, the unwavering assistance and dedication of our supporters have been the cornerstone of our ability to continue our mission of rescuing and rehoming animals in need.
The year 2023 presented us and all rescues, with unparalleled demands. Never before have we seen such a high number of animals looking for placement and pet owners asking for assistance. From the devastating forest fires to the housing crisis we all have been inundated with requests for help. We have seen many large vet expenses, from multiple CBLO surgeries, to overnight emergency stays. We have had some losses, that leave our hearts hurting. Despite these hurdles, we managed to facilitate 155 adoptions this year. Our Sheltered Paws program has been instrumental in ensuring the safety of 94 cats from Strathcona County, keeping them away from the harsh elements of the outdoors. The recent introduction of our Guardian Angel Program signifies a renewed commitment to expanding our outreach and assisting even more animals in distress.
Looking ahead to 2024, we are excited for a year of growth and progress. The anticipation of the return of our Petals and Paws gala in April fills us with excitement, providing an opportunity for a night out with great entertainment, delicious snacks, and an amazing silent auction. We are working on plans to streamline processes and build volunteer engagement. We acknowledge that there's still much to be done, but with the continuous support of our community, volunteers, and partners, we're eagerly embracing the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. Together, we will make a significant difference in the lives of countless animals, and we can't wait to see what the future holds.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, and from all of us at GEARS, we wish you a safe and happy New Year.
Liz
