Aboriginal Community & Animal Advocacy Connection (ACAAAC) serves

all First Nations communities who are seeking to implement animal welfare services, and increase health and wellbeing within their communities. ACAAAC is a First Nation founded and operated organization that was formed at a grassroots level for the need of animal welfare within First Nations. It was a realization years before of the need to help the animals and since formed in 2007. The focus is awareness, animal welfare education, advocacy, resources, plus accessible and affordable services for First Nations. Aboriginal Community & Animal Advocacy Connection works with various First Nation communities, to bring together veterinary teams that work in partnership with Nations to provide veterinary care, through veterinary spay/neuter and wellness clinics. In addition, ACAAAC works with select rescue groups that operate with notable ethical standards, integrity and with high adoption standards. ACAAAC has worked with select Humane Societies that are seeking to partner with First Nation communities for spay/neuter, wellness clinics and shelter contracts. Previously effort was made to provide communities with support for cruelty to animals through the provincial Act, in addition to bylaw training and enforcement. The organization is dedicated to improving the health and wellbeing of dogs and cats, whether owned or unowned. In addition, to assisting community members to achieve the best health and wellbeing for their companion animals. Being respectful of community member's privacy, has always been an important aspect when working with communities. We work to alleviate the suffering or distress, to promote care and compassion. It is through awareness, spay/neuter, rehome and participation that reducing overpopulation and suffering is achieved. Services are sustainable and functionality is achieved through a community based approach. Once overpopulation is achieved, the maintenance stage is easily controlled. The strategic, long-term objective is to bring communities to a place of maintenance which requires proactive community participation, and being fully integrated within community services. Moreover, public health and safety is increased, where animals and humans live in a more harmonious way. On a deeper level, the link between the roles of dogs within First Nations is historical. Through awareness and awakening of our link, dogs are restored to their rightful, respective and honourable standing. Therefore, promoting respect and appreciation of our animals to bringing the dog back to their honorable status within First Nations as helpers of our ancestors is acknowledged openly and with pride.

The vast majority of kittens/adolescents/adults are from local reserves. The kittens or once kittens were feral and now socialized.

Unfortunately there hasn't been any adoptions. Therefore, BSDRO cannot take anymore in until some are adopted.

If you're looking to make one your family, please fill out the BSDRO form or contact their page.

👉 If you're not in the position to adopt, please share. 🙏🙏🙏

FOSTERING IS TEMPORARY

**UPDATED: We are ONLY seeking DOG placements at the moment! 📣

Wildfires have forced many communities across Northern Ontario to evacuate, leaving countless dogs—in need of a safe place to land while their families face unimaginable circumstances.

We're looking for compassionate foster families who can open their hearts and homes during this crisis.

❤️ BSDRO provides the food, supplies, and veterinary care.
🏡 You provide a safe, loving temporary home.
🚗 Have or have access to a vehicle is recommended

Fostering is temporary, but the impact lasts a lifetime. By stepping up, you're giving these animals comfort, stability, and an opportunity to rest their heads during all this uncertainty.

If you've ever considered fostering, now is the time.
