The Animal Guardian Society was founded in 1987.
Our program consists of a “pack” of dedicated individuals who volunteer their time to the cause of Animal Rescue, Adoption and Humane Education. The TAGS program is 100% volunteer, we have no paid staff. Our charity is not funded through any form of grants or government support.
The Animal Guardians raise funds to care for our animals through fundraiser's, and the generosity of animals lovers who donate. Our program routinely receives numerous requests from local animal shelters to take needy dogs.
TAGS has always been known to help the dogs that no one else will, the old, the sick, the dogs that need a lot of training. We never turn away from any animal in need.
Vision Statement
- To sustain the operation of our program and continue to serve and protect the animal citizens of our community.
- To never see any animal abused, abandoned or left unwanted.
- To continue to provide medical care and training to animals in our care.
- To construct a shelter that will provide safe housing for animals until permanent homes are found.
- To ensure that our shelter offers a centre for learning and education to our community.
- To see no animal put to death in municipally run shelters because they are overlooked or due to lack of space.
- To encourage those that profess their love and dedication to animals to take a stand to educate and participate in the cause of rescue.
- To see the day when rescue will no longer be necessary, as all animals will have safe loving homes.

Adopting A Rescue
Pets can enrich your life. When you adopt a pet from an Animal Welfare organization, you are saving a life. You are discouraging the indiscriminate breeding of dogs for which there are simply not enough homes. Adopting a rescue dog for your family presents a wonderful opportunity to teach your children basic values of compassion and caring, and also about the value of second chances.
Surrendering A Pet
We appreciate that giving up a pet for adoption can be a very difficult and emotional experience. Our volunteers take every effort to ensure that a safe and suitable home is found.
Our primary goal is working with families as a “team”. Together we can be confident that your pet will have a long and happy life with its new family.
