About Us
Our mission is to rescue homeless cats and dogs and to reduce feral cat overpopulation in the Peel Region through Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR).

SEVEN YEARS OF SAVING LIVES — AND COUNTING
When Peel Animal Rescue Society (PARS) was founded in 2019, our goal was simple: TO SAVE AS MANY HOMELESS CATS AND DOGS AS POSSIBLE, AND FIND THEM FOREVER HOMES. Seven years later, that Mission remains at the heart of everything we do.
Over the past seven years, PARS has rescued, on average, 300 homeless cats and 80 dogs every year. It means roughly 2,660 animals saved over seven years. We believe that every animal deserves a chance, regardless of age, breed, temperament or health condition.
Some of our animals are considered unadoptable because of their age, medical conditions, behavioural challenges or other special needs. They remain in our long-term care, living in foster homes where they are loved and cared for. They are still our responsibility, and we will never give up on them.
PARS is a 100% volunteer-run Non-Profit group. We do not have a business location, a shelter or paid staff, nor do we receive government or SPCA funding. We rely on a dedicated network of foster homes and several cat adoption locations in our partner pet stores. Being volunteer-run allows us to devote our resources directly to the care of the animals.
Monetary donations, especially monthly donations, are vital to PARS. Almost every dollar donated to PARS goes directly toward the care of our animals, with veterinary expenses being our greatest cost.
I also encourage you to follow our Facebook page, where our rescue work comes alive! We regularly share our newest rescues, foster and adoption updates, happy tail tales, and much more. Please become a PARS Facebook Follower for our rescue journey
With your SUPPORT, we can MAKE A DIFFERENCE in the LIVES of many HOMELESS ANIMALS. Thank you for helping us continue our mission.

Who We Are
PARS is a nonprofit group dedicated to the rescue of homeless dogs and cats. We are all volunteer-run. We don't have a facility, a shelter, or paid staff. We strive to save as many unwanted animals as possible regardless of background, age, health, and/or behavioural issues. Our goal is to find these homeless pets furever homes where they are treated as family members.
What We Do
TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release)
Feral cats are unsocialized and are unlikely to ever be comfortable living with people. They often live outdoors in colonies and avoid human contact.
For feral cats, we will trap, neuter/spay, and then release them back to their outdoor home to live the rest of their natural lives out. The goal is to prevent the births of outdoor kittens and overpopulation of homeless cats in the future.
Rescue
We take in and place animals in foster homes or at an adoption location. This includes:
​
-
Stray cats that are not feral
-
Dogs & cats surrendered by owners
-
Dogs & cats from shelters
-
Dogs & cats from hoarding situations
Medical Care
All of our rescued animals receive a veterinary check-up and are given the necessary vaccinations. If there are health issues, they will be addressed. Except for under-aged kittens or puppies, all of our animals are spayed or neutered to prevent the births of future homeless pets. Future neutering/spaying of kittens/puppies is included in our Adoption Agreement.
