25 U.S. Pet Rescue Associations That Are Doing An Amazingly Noble Job
At this year’s clinic we had the pleasure to work alongside Save Our Scruff, a volunteer group out of Toronto, Canada. Their mission is to rescue dogs in need and to place them in forever homes. To date, they have successfully transported over 600 dogs from overseas locations! SOS fulfilled yet another role, merging with us for 3 days to handle incoming patients and taking care of recovery. Tirelessly they worked alongside those on the surgical side to make the event a great success. Indeed it became a seamless and synergistic relationship, one that both GeoVets and SOS plan to build on in the future. Already there is collaboration for a spay/neuter clinic to Costa Rica.
Trish, SOS PR Manager, went on CP24 to talk about SOS and the upcoming Monster Jam event!
Pet overpopulation and abandonment is a massive issue worldwide- did you know that a shelter dog is put down every 11 seconds in the USA alone? I’ve written about my feelings on buying pets over adopting before, but this time I have a favor to ask you: in the name of the Christmas spirit, do what you can to help this holiday season. That’s where Save our Scruff (aka SOS) comes in!

To celebrate National Adopt a Shelter Dog Day, UBER opened a "PUPPIES" transport.. where offices could request a dog visit between 11:00-3:00! UBER drove over adoptable dogs to come play for 15 minutes with you and your co-workers. This costs only 30 dollars and ALL the proceeds went to Save Our Scruff. WICKED.

Laura Bye was 26 when she started her non-profit, Save Our Scruff (SOS). The organization rescues homeless and mistreated dogs from many countries, which are then fostered and found a new home in and around Toronto. Laura started in spa and sport management and was rescuing animals with an organization for a year and half before deciding to be in the drivers seat for a cause she deeply cares about.
