Angels give hope to homeless animals

Angels of Hope Animal Rescue is doing everything they can to help animals in the local and surrounding areas find their ‘furever’ homes, but they need a little help to achieve their goals. The non-profit group, established in Esterhazy, takes in lost, unwanted or abused animals, makes sure they get the veterinary care they need, and then finds them loving homes.

Every animal that comes into their hands is vet checked, and the group then undergoes a search for the animal’s owner. If the owner can’t be located, the animal is given all of its shots, dewormed, treated for ear mites and even spayed or neutered if necessary. Then when the animal is ready, Angels of Hope put it up for adoption. All they ask in return is a donation in any amount, and of course all of the love their furry new friends can handle.

“We want our animals to go to a good home, and that’s what our main goal is,” said Terry Tocker, who spearheaded Angels of Hope.

The animal rescue started out as a small local operation one year ago, and has since gained the support of 56 members in Esterhazy, Grayson, Rockanville, Saltcoats, Round Lake, Broadview and Cowessess, just to name a few, though only a small handful of members are currently responsible for the care of the animals.
