FIX IT! MANITOBA

Our Fix It! Manitoba community outreach program, established in 2013, stands as a beacon of support and collaboration with First Nations communities. The initiative is dedicated to providing essential resources and access to care for dogs within these regions.

We prioritize making safer and healthier communities, and responsible dog ownership, while respecting the community’s autonomy through:

Spay/neuter clinics
Emergency vaccine clinics
Licensing assistance
Dog population information gathering
And dog population management

Additionally, we extend support by providing resources like dog food, deworming treatments, and other necessities based on available supplies, acknowledging and honoring the unique needs of these communities.

Our team believes strongly in keeping dogs together with their families in northern and remote communities. We deeply respect this idea and work hard to support it. We are committed to building relationships based on helping each other and understanding one another. Manitoba Underdogs Rescue wants to empower these communities, recognizing their strengths and aspirations while collaboratively working together to enhance the welfare of the dogs, and respecting the culture and values of the people we serve.

WHY SPAY AND NEUTER + VACCINATE?

The health and safety of a community, it’s people and it’s dogs, is our top priority.

Benefits to the Community Members:

Safer Streets. Spaying and neutering dogs helps keep the community safe by reducing the number of stray dogs, minimizing the chances of unexpected encounters or incidents.

Healthier Living. Vaccinating dogs safeguards the health of both people and dogs in the community, preventing the spread of diseases like rabies and distemper, and creating a healthier living environment.

Friendly Neighbours. Spaying and neutering contribute harmony in the neighbourhood by reducing behaviors like aggression and territorial marking, creating a more peaceful and enjoyable community for everyone.

Benefits to the Dog Population:

Healthier Lives. Spaying and neutering contribute to the well-being of dogs by preventing certain illnesses, ensuring they lead longer, healthier lives.

Safe & Sound. Neutered and spayed dogs are less likely to roam, reducing the risk of accidents, getting lost, or encountering harmful situations, keeping them safe and sound.

Caring Communities. By preventing overpopulation through spaying and neutering, communities ensure that every dog receives the care and attention they deserve, reducing the number of dogs without homes or proper care.
