Critteraid is an animal rescue sanctuary in Summerland and is run 100% by volunteers and donations, helping to end animal suffering in our community for over 30 years! Critteraid is a registered non-profit charity and is not part of any larger organization. Critteraid Animal Sanctuary is not just a shelter or animal rescue facility in Summerland, it is also an educational facility that teaches people about animals in a way that will change their perspective about themselves and the world around them. We depend on compassionate people in our community in order to keep our dream alive and make sure our legacy continues on. We are incredibly grateful for all the support we receive from our community and we constantly continue to build new relationships in order to strengthen our legacy. This very special organization has a beautiful 10 acre farm in the South Okanagan providing sanctuary and rescue for a wide variety of abandoned and abused animals in the Okanagan (cats, lots of kittens, dogs, horses, cows, pigs, ducks, alpacas, chickens and a rooster). Our 3 animal rescue goals in Penticton are rescue, rehabilitation and adoption of the animals that have become part of the Critteraid family. It is incredibly important to always find loving homes for all of our animals in order to keep rescuing those that need us. Having said this, if it turns out that adoption is not an option for whatever reason then we are honored to provide sanctuary for as long as needed (for some it is for their entire life). This can be costly but we believe all animals deserve a chance at a healthy and happy life!
