Mission Statement:
Birch Haven Rescue and Rehabilitation Services; located in Eastern Ontario, Canada on 148 acres was founded in 1996 as a personal rescue to assist those Canine and Equine animals that have been abandoned, abused, neglected and otherwise mistreated by rescuing, fostering, rehabilitating and then placing them into their new and forever loving homes.
Birch Haven also tries to promote responsible pet ownership through Humane Education, Training, Socialization and Public Awareness. We are also involved in Therapy work.
We are very small, private and are committed to personal rescue plus re-homing that is completely financed by monetary gifts, owner surrender plus adoption fees as we do not any receive government, provincial or corporate funding. We are financed mainly out of our own pockets.
We also work very hard to assist various breeders, rescue groups, shelters, organizations and friends in placing rescues or re-homing animals that come into their hands. We only organize and facilitate in these situations.
NOTE: DUE to the large number of inquiries directed our way daily, non-urgent replies can take up to 3-5 business days.
*Please bear with us as we continue to work on bringing over everything from our old site to our new one.*
BHRR’S URGENT NEEDS: Meaty beef & dinosaur bones, giant sized dog toys, dog collars, dog leashes, donations towards new Rescue computer; comforters and duvets for the crates; Sentinel, Costco dog beds plus large towels for drying the dogs after baths.
