This is such a special endeavour, but they need our help! Please check out their story and donate if you can.

This is the first time we have ever asked publicly for financial help.

We have been heads down building something really special here in Qualicum Beach for years now, putting everything we have into it because we believe in it completely. Dr. Kimberly has invested nearly 30 years of veterinary experience and over $500,000 of her own money into this. We have secured another $900,000 in funding alongside that. The buildings are going up, the animals are already in our care, and we are so genuinely close.

We just need $70,000 by May 7th to secure the land title that holds all of it together, and that's honestly why we're here.

Bear's Buddies Animal Sanctuary is Vancouver Island's first geriatric and hospice sanctuary for companion animals. A permanent home and a peaceful ending for the animals who have nowhere else to go — the ones who end up in veterinary hospitals with no options, the ones the system has run out of answers for. We are the yes when no one else is.

Every dollar donated goes directly to securing the land. Nothing else.

If you're able to donate, you can support us at: zeffy.com/en-CA/peer-to-peer/a-permanent-home-and-peaceful-ending-for-animals-who-have-nowhere-else-to-go

Every single action before May 7th moves us closer, and we are so grateful you are here.

Thank you so much 💛🐾

I just want to start off by saying that Luna (bernadoodle) comes for daycare regularly and always loves some attention and cuddles from the staff. But today, I was really proud of Luna for making a new friend!

Our new daycare dog, Noel, has become a fan favourite with the other dogs. She has a very sweet demeanour but knows how to get down & dirty haha. Today, Noel persistently followed Luna around wanting to play, despite Luna not engaging and giving loud but firm warnings to Noel.

But eventually, Luna gave in & began to play. You can hear Luna’s constant reminders of the boundaries to playing with her, but it was so fulfilling to see Luna really let loose!

After knowing Luna for a year & a half, it just took sweet, baby Noel to get her out of her comfort zone a little bit. It was so nice to see, and we really do love all of these dogs as if they were our own🩷

Sincerely,
Meghan (a staff member that really loves her job)

One of our lovely clients has to re-home her pup. Millie is a sweet but shy girl. We think she would do amazingly well in a quiet home with older children or Ideally, a single woman looking for a loving companion! Please see the picture attached for information and contact details.

Most of the time our job at EPL is wonderful, but sometimes it’s heartbreaking. Recently we were informed of the passing of one of our beloved daycare dogs, Ruby.

Many of you know Ruby. She was everyone’s best friend. She was the pup we used to help nervous dogs feel more comfortable. Or to play with the crazy players when others thought they were too much. She was the total package. She was very young so we were all shocked by her sudden passing.

We want to send our deepest condolences to her Mom and family. Ruby will be missed by so many. We know she’s being a big goof and wiggling her bum for us over the rainbow bridge.
