Meet Tom

Gentle Geriatric

This senior ginger gentleman may look a little rough around the edges, but underneath it all is an absolute sweetheart. Once believed to be a lifelong stray, Tom has embraced the comforts of "indoor life": warm beds, regular meals, a safe home, and kind companionship.

What moves us

Rescue is more than one moment.

It’s the animal given time to feel safe. The foster who opens a door. The neighbour who shares a post. The community that shows up, again and again.

Spay It Forward is building those connections in Souris, Manitoba — supporting animals in care and helping them toward their next chapter.
