Founded in 2022, Dogwood Animal Sanctuary is dedicated to the temporary and permanent care of stray, abused and otherwise vulnerable animals. Operating 365 days a year, Dogwood provides shelter, monitoring and enrichment for over 1000 stray, abandoned, or abused animals a year. Working in partnership with Provincial Animal Welfare Services (PAWS), temporary care and housing is provided to animals with pending cases from all over Ontario. In addition to temporary care, Dogwood is home to a number of resident rescue animals who reside permanently within the Sanctuary. The Dogwood team began as a small group of animal care attendants and management, and has since expanded to include numerous leadership, care and volunteer positions. The Sanctuary is fortunate to consist of a highly skilled and passionate workforce that has a proven foundation built on mutual learning and respect. Each employee brings a set of unique skills and experience that make essential contributions to the Dogwood team. All Dogwood employees pride themselves on providing high quality care and enrichment to all animals we have the pleasure of housing, no matter their duration in care. Our team is the drive behind Dogwood's culture of ongoing growth and success. Employees are encouraged to be part of the conversation, provide feedback to leadership and work as a team to help find new ways the sanctuary can evolve.
