D'arcy's Animal Rescue Center was founded in 2001. Before that Darcy and his wife Sharon started off in there basement where they quickly filled up with 30 animals. Today, they have helped over 17,000 animals throughout Manitoba.
Mission
D'Arcy's ARC reduces animal overpopulation in Manitoba by providing stray and abandoned cats and dogs with shelter and care until a permanent, committed and appropriate home can be found.
Vision
D'Arcy's ARC seeks to achieve its mission by tackling the problem of domestic animal overpopulation in the province of Manitoba using education and intervention. Animals taken in are spayed/neutered as part of the rehoming process. We provide work experience through school or government placements and attend public events, to educate the public about the animal issues facing many communities and offer information on how to help.
Our commitment to animals
We consider the stray, abandoned and abused animals that come through our doors to be our main clients. We provide them with:
- An initial veterinary checkup
- Follow up veterinary care and / or medication where necessary
- Comfortable and safe temporary living quarters
- Opportunity for socialization
- Patient care and assistance with emotional issues
- Exercise, high quality food, fresh water, soft beds
- Appropriate, permanent homes where they will be treated well and treasured for life.
At any given time, there are over 150 animals awaiting adoption through our various locations, such as our main center in St. James, our thrift store in the North end, our satellite locations and many dedicated foster homes.
With that said, D'arcy's Animal Rescue Center is fundraising to help fund treatment for two of their residents with heart worm. A single treatment for one of their residents costs $900.
