Humble Beginnings

On a typical stormy Manitoba summer night in July 2011, our first Underdog Annie was found abandoned and scared on the side of the highway near Brokenhead First Nations. She was immediately brought to a veterinary hospital and unfortunately tested positive for heartworm and lyme disease. A garage sale was organized by our fearless leaders to cover the costs of Annie’s treatment. From this one act of rescue, Manitoba Underdogs was born!

Our Mission

Manitoba Underdogs Rescue is a registered charity and non-profit organization. We are foster home based with a volunteer team of over 600 individuals. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, care for, and ultimately seek out permanent and loving homes for Manitoba’s unwanted animals.

Our Values

Work alongside Manitoban communities to bring dogs in need into care.
Provide the highest level of foster and veterinary care to all dogs in our foster and adoption programs.
Maintain a safe and welcoming community for our volunteers, fosters, adopters and partners.
Provide advice and support to fosters and adopters with the goal of maintaining successful relationships between dog and owner.
Partner with local organizations to help control animal population in Manitoba.

Thank You

We would like to thank all of our board members, volunteers, fosters, adopters and friends for their support. Without the continued support, we wouldn’t be able to help the many dogs in need.
