Rescue Groups We Support

Whyte Ridge Veterinary Hospital works closely with organizations that rescue, assist, rehome, and rehab animals. We believe in giving back to the community and helping those animals that are in need of our care to the fullest of our ability. It's not always simple or easy, but the rewards are enormous. Please take a moment to discover the following organizations and their amazing work.

At Boberta’s Dragons, our mission is to Rescue, Rehab and Rehome reptiles. We take in reptiles whose owners can no longer care for them, with the goal of finding them new forever homes. Unfortunately, many of them come to us in poor health or with socialization issues, sometimes both. So we spend a lot of time and money to get these little ones to the point of being able to find their forever homes. All of our animals are given an all clear by the Vets at Whyte Ridge before we adopt them out. Any that have too many specialized needs are kept as permanent residents and are used as educational animals which help us teach people about proper care and why it is so important.

Another goal is to remove some of the stigma around reptiles, especially snakes. We do this through visiting various markets and festivals over the summer, and through our social media. Some of our critters live part-time at the local Elementary School where students can learn about them and older students can get some hands-on experience taking care of them.

Prairie Wildlife Rehabilitation

The goal of this non-profit centre is to rehabilitate wildlife that has sustained injuries or been orphaned and needs treatment to be able to survive in the wild. They cater to a large range of species such as owls, falcons, woodchucks, turtles, foxes, bobcats, and many, many more. Our exotics veterinarian, Dr. Davidson, takes pleasure in providing medical care for their often-unique animals and improving their chances of returning to their natural habitat. Over the years, we've seen many interesting cases and gained an appreciation for all the wonderful work they do.

HiSpeedHounds is dedicated to the rescue of all sight hounds that have been relinquished through various situations - we primarily receive adults - but have had the occasional puppy as well. We work to provide them with care, socialization and training to match them with their perfect families. We take pride in providing education about the needs of sighthounds, and how to help them live their happiest and most enriched lives.
