WELCOME TO THE REGIONAL ANIMAL PROTECTION SOCIETY
The Regional Animal Protection Society is more than an organization. We are a movement, a community in action, united by the belief that every animal deserves a life of safety, dignity, and love. Our work reaches far and wide, delivering hands-on care to animals while championing policies that create a kinder, more humane world for all.
RAPS ANIMAL HOSPITAL
We are transforming veterinary care through a community-owned, non-profit model that puts every animal’s health and well-being — not profit — at the center of everything we do.
RAPS ADOPTION & EDUCATION CENTRE
RAPS brings homeless animals and loving people together to build families. We also inspire young people and the wider community to understand the joys, and responsibilities of animal companionship.
RAPS CAT SANCTUARY
RAPS Cat Sanctuary – Canada’s largest – offers lifelong sanctuary to hundreds of mostly unadoptable cats, giving safety, dignity, and love to those who would otherwise face euthanasia.
RAPS THRIFT STORES
RAPS operates three vibrant thrift stores. Every donated item sold fuels our mission, funding and sustaining lifesaving programs across all RAPS initiatives.
PETS & PICKERS
Pets & Pickers shares the RAPS story with the world. Tune in for more heartwarming, emotional, funny, touching and inspiring stories of how RAPS mobilizes our community to save and improve the lives of animals.
