Volunteer to help VARS or at a local shelter.

Make sure your dog stays on heartworm preventative medications and flea control medications.

Take an AKC sponsored or endorsed obedience training class with you dog.

Always walk you dog on a leash and do not let your dog run at large.

Keep you dog in a fenced yard with a lock on the gate so it will stay safe.

NEVER leave your dog (or your child) inside a car, truck or other automobile which may heat up rapidly and cause death.

Be sure to always provide shade and water for your dog when kept outside.

Never tie a dog out to a tree, post or other fixture where it is left unattended.

Bring your dog inside during cold, rainy or freezing weather.

Take your dog to the veterinarian for annual health check-ups and vaccinations.

Never let your dog ride in the back of a pick-up truck unless it is inside a Veri Kennel or other crate that is securely fixed.
Report any neglect or abuse of dogs or other animals to your local chapter of the ASPCA.

Welcome!

Welcome to the Vancouver Animal Rescue Society (VARS)! We are an association of animal lovers and advocates networking to save the lives of homeless animals and educate the public with regard to all aspects of animal welfare and rescue.

As a new organization our site is under construction. In Canada societies are not required by law to register, however, in order to enjoy the benefits of a nonprofit organization, we are working to draft a constitution and establish a registered society. We will be operating under this constitution which expresses our purposes and goals. Anyone who wants to help save the lives of homeless animals and establish an animal sanctuary is encouraged to do so; we will accept donations from everyone who loves animals. Donations from citizens in the United States may be made through our partner organization GSDAR, Inc., a nonprofit animal rescue organization in Mississippi.

Currently we are in need of photographs showing dogs, cats and other animals in peril and need of rescue, especially from Guiana, South America. You may send digital photos of animals with a letter of introduction and explanation to: Joyce. Thank you for your consideration and concern.

Animal Rescue Shelter & Sanctuary (Guyana )

VARS is working to establish the Animal Rescue & Sanctuary (Guyana ). We hope to obtain a land grant in Guyana and begin working to save the lives of homeless animals in the area. We will also be working to rescue, spay, neuter and adopt homeless animals. We with to thank Terry Lynch of GSDAR for his kind assistance in preparing our land grand proposal.

Our goal is to raise funds to establish and build an animal rescue shelter and sanctuary in Guyana. If you want to help you may do so immediately through the purchase of Animal Rescue & Sanctuary (Guyana ) gifts and apparel designed and produced by our partner organization GSDAR which contribute a percentage of each purchase to help save the lives of homeless animals in Guyana.

We are also looking for 1,000 sponsors to each donate $1,000.00 to help in the establishment and maintain an animal sanctuary and clinic in Guyana. If your company can donate equipment and supplies, or veterinary medical supplies, or $1,000.00 or more to this great effort please contact Joyce. After we get a property in Guyana we hope to establish a Wall of Benefactors where everyone who contributes and makes a significant donation will be honored. Thank you for your support! Levels of contrabution are: Bronze Benefactor $1,000.00; Silver Benefactor $5,000.00; and Gold Benefactor $10,000.00.

We want to help ourr dear neighbors find forever homes. If you live in the Seattle, WA, area or in Washington state and want a dog, please review our listings below or refer a frind. When you adopt a dog it will return the love a thousand times over! Thank you for helping to save the lives of these many precious, homeless dogs.

Sponsor An Animal And Save A Life

Please help! Many perfectly good dogs, cat and other animals are destroyed each year because local animal shelters cannot find forever homes for them. This is an enormous problem. In the United States millions of dogs and cats are destroyed every years for no other reason than that no one comes forward to adopt the rescued animals. In developing countries, like Guyana, poverty and unemployment results any many dogs, cats and other animals being abused and/or neglected. But you can help by supporting an animal.

In conjunction with GSDAR, Inc., a nonprofit animal welfare organization located in the United States of America, we are asking everyone to please view and print our application to sponsor an animal. We need your signature so please scan the application after you have signed it and return it to GSDAR. You may make a secure payment of $30.00 to sponsor a dog, cat or other animal by using the secure PayPal button below. We will send you a photo and profile of the animal you sponsor via reply email.

Thank you for your generous help and support in sponsoring a dog, cat or other animal which might otherwise be needlessly destroyed without your help!
