Ladybird Animal Sanctuary is a unified voice for abandoned, abused and neglected animals. Together, through a network of volunteers, foster homes, educators, animal lovers and exceptionally generous people, we aim to eliminate the unnecessary suffering of domestic animals in local shelters. Ladybird rescues cats, dogs and small animals and is a champion for seniors, those with costly medical issues, and so-called ‘hard to adopt’ animals. Through the countless lives forever impacted through Ladybird’s efforts, we know that every life is worth saving and that a loving home awaits all these deserving creatures. Since 2011, Ladybird has rescued over 1,000 animals from high-volume shelters in Ontario and Quebec. We’re very proud of the impact we’ve made as a rescue and foster network, but our longterm goals are much bigger! We are working hard towards our dream of opening a physical sanctuary in the Southern Ontario region. This will be a safe haven for animals, where we can continue with our rescue/foster team, an we can also house permanent resident animals; like seniors, hospice cases, FIV, FeLV and feral cats, and farm animals. This will also be a place for our Ladybird community to gather and grow. We will welcome anyone who is willing to help, learn, engage and celebrate the lives of these wonderful creatures. As three full time musicians and Ladybird volunteers, we find ourselves as the co-founders of a fully functioning charity. There are steep learning curves at every turn, but we are up for the challenge because there is an important task at hand. With every success story, every rescue mission, every grateful furry little face, we know we are doing our jobs as animal defenders. We could not, and cannot possibly do this alone, so please join us on our Ladybird journey!
