Welcome to Who Rescued Who NS
A community built on compassion.
Who Rescued Who was founded by two passionate women brought together by their love for animals and their belief that compassion can change communities.
We rescue dogs and cats from shelters, unsafe conditions, and the streets—often from Caribbean islands where resources are limited—and bring them to safety where they can receive medical care, rehabilitation, and loving foster homes.
Working with trusted rescue partners in the Caribbean and across Canada, we help transport animals to safety and prepare them for loving forever homes.
Every animal deserves a second chance at life, and with the help of our volunteers, fosters, and supporters, we work every day to make that possible.
Our Mission
Bridging the gap between compassion and companionship.
Our mission is simple: to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need while building a compassionate community that celebrates the bond between people and animals.
We believe rescue goes both ways.
The animals we save bring joy, healing, and love to the people who welcome them into their lives.
Our Impact
Every rescue mission brings another life closer to safety and a forever home.
Since launching our rescue efforts, we have worked alongside partners and volunteers to save animals and support communities where help is needed most.
