This little guy sure lives up to his name! He's lucky to be alive! He was hit by a car on Thursday night. His owners took him to the vet clinic, but were refused service without a credit card. The family called around to many different clinics and animal groups, but no one was willing to help. They contacted The Animal Guardian Society (TAGS), and we offered to cover the costs of the surgery so that this little guy can live. The family has turned their beloved pet over to TAGS so that he can get the help he needs. One of our volunteers rushed Lucky to the vet clinic, and they started his treatment. Lucky has a broken hip and a fractured pelvis and requires costly surgery to live without pain. The surgery will cost upwards of $3000. TAGS is a small rescue group, and our all volunteer program is known for never turning away an animal in need. There haven't been many times when we've needed to reach out to the community, but this is one of those times. Lucky needs your help and kindness!
As a non-profit charity TAGS has limited resources, and relies on the generosity of animal lovers such as yourself. Please help us help Lucky! All donations are tax deductible, and any amount helps! Please contribute by making a donation by visiting: Animal Guardian Donations or Canada Helps. Tax receipts will be issued.
If you've ever wanted to help an animal in need, now is the time! Help us give Lucky a second chance!
Our program consists of a “pack” of dedicated individuals who volunteer their time to the cause of Animal Rescue, Adoption and Humane Education. The TAGS program is 100% volunteer, we have no paid staff. Our charity is not funded through any form of grants or government support.
The Animal Guardians raise funds to care for our animals through fundraiser's, and the generosity of animal lovers who donate. Our program routinely receives numerous requests from local animal shelters to take needy dogs. TAGS has always been known to help the dogs that no one else will, the old, the sick, the dogs that need a lot of training. We never turn away from any animal in need. Read More...
Pets can enrich your life. When you adopt a pet from an Animal Welfare organization, you are saving a life. You are discouraging the indiscriminate breeding of dogs for which there are simply not enough homes.
Adopting a rescue dog for your family presents a wonderful opportunity to teach your children basic values of compassion and caring, and also about the value of second chances.

Foster Homes are the difference between Life and Death to an animal in need. One of the most important and rewarding jobs that a volunteer can do is to serve as a foster home for an animal before they are placed in their forever homes. The Animal Guardian Society (TAGS) does not have a shelter facility; therefore, we rely on volunteer foster parents to care for our rescued animals.. Read More...
The usual symptoms of Kennel Cough include a dry, "non-productive" cough. The dog sounds as if there is something stuck or caught in the throat and the coughing is an unsuccessful attempt to dislodge the object. Read More...
