Our Story
Welcome to Infinite Woofs Animal Rescue Society's page. The purpose of this page is to present information on IWARS and stories of the animals in our care, past and present, as well as other information we deem important to the animal rescue community as a whole.
We encourage you to submit your questions, comments, concerns, videos and stories, but please note this is a monitored and moderated page. We hope that you enjoy being a part of the IWARS community of people concerned with animal welfare. Feel free to ask questions, swap tips, give and get advice, as well as inquire about our services.
POSTING POLICY
Posts or comments that pertain to the following information/subject matter may be removed:
-Requesting information about an animal that was surrendered to IWARS
Information regarding an animal that was surrendered to IWARS will not be shared with the former owner or anyone else who inquires about the animal. Upon abdication of an animal, owners are required to sign a legal contract relinquishing their right to information about that animal. Due to confidentiality, we cannot release this information to the former owner(s) or the public.
-Requesting information about an adopted animal
To protect the privacy of the new owner(s), IWARS will not release any information about the adoptive family. Photographs may be posted with prior verbal permission of the adoptive family.
-Lost, stolen or found animals
If an animal is lost, stolen or found we encourage you post to the local lost pets pages. All lost and found pets within the City of Edmonton are housed at the City's Animal Care & Control Centre. Because IWARS cannot verify reportings, rewards or information posted by third parties about lost, stolen or found animals we encourage posts of this nature be posted on the Edmonton Lost Pet facebook group as well as Petlynx and a kijiji ad. If you have lost or found a pet within Edmonton city limits please visit https://www.edmonton.ca/residential_neighbourhoods/pets_wildlife/reporting-recovering-lost-pets.aspx for more information.
-Misinformation
If misinformation has been posted or a retraction is made and IWARS has attempted to correct it, and this has been unsuccessful due to the reposting or continual repeated postings based on the misinformation – those posts may be deleted.
-Complaints
Specific complaints or rantings about IWARS, our programs, services and policies where the author demonstrates that he/she does not wish to seek resolution, may be deleted.
-Disrespecting other people
We want people to feel comfortable about posting their questions and answers on our page. Angry rants or abusive posts don't help achieve this and the moderators will delete them. Please don't post inflammatory messages designed to foster these kinds of arguments.
-Spam
Don't post the same message multiple times across the page. We understand with posting information on Facebook, it will not always remain at the top of the page. The information may seem relevant, urgent and important to the person who posted it, however duplicate posts to draw attention to an issue/topic that has already been posted about will be removed by the moderators.
Complaints pertaining to owners of animals and their welfare that list specific information, addresses and/or names may also be deleted by the moderator.
Infinite Woofs Animal Rescue Society reserves the right to remove any comments that are inappropriate and in violation of our terms of use. Comments will be removed and violators will be banned. We will remove any postings or comments with the following content:
a. Requests for support or promotion of individuals or organizations that support animal cruelty, illegal activity or violence (such as unauthorized “rescue” of a privately owned animal).
b. Publishing, posting, distributing or disseminating any defamatory, infringing, graphic, racist, malicious, misleading, obscene, indecent, misleading or unlawful material or information.
c. Comments or postings that abuse, harass, stalk, threaten or otherwise violate the legal rights (such as the rights of privacy and publicity) of others. This includes bullying and personal attacks.
