Dedicated to providing accessible care, made possible through generous donations.
Please note that we are not an emergency clinic, and cannot accept emergency cases.
Our Hospital Will Provide:
Full Service Veterinary Facility
The Task Force Animal Hospital will offer a range of services from wellness checks to life-saving surgeries for companion animals belonging to marginalized owners and individuals under various social assistance programs.
High Volume Spay + Neuter
In partnership with the Canadian Animal Task Force, we will be able to safely spay/neuter, tattoo, vaccinate and deworm high volumes of animals in one day.
Collab with Animal Welfare Orgs
Building upon over a decade of partnerships with animal welfare organizations, we will continue to create a seamless network that increases these organizations’ capacity to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals.
Compassion + Security
By creating a non-judgmental and understanding environment, we will put compassion and sensitivity for animals and humans alike at the forefront of the work we do.
The Task Force Animal Hospital is not an emergency clinic and we are unable to accept emergency cases at this time. All services are provided by appointment only, following the review and approval of your application. Thank you for your understanding.
