Welcome to OLHARS!

Fulfilling dreams for families in British Columbia. We are a BC Registered Non-Profit animal rescue society making a difference in the lives of dogs and their new owners.

We are passionate about matching dogs to their owners for the best possible success of both. Our team of volunteers come from varied backgrounds and walks of life, but all unite with a love for animals.

Our Mission...

To promote, protect, rehabilitate and responsibly re-home society's discarded companion animals. To educate pet owners and others about the proper care and well-being of their pets. We promote and assist this with a low cost spay and neuter program. Our program is unique in the Upper Fraser Valley as there is no other similar; furthermore, we collaborate with the First Nations communities in the environs. Our programs have been well received. We have a Senior-to-Senior program within our program, that matches senior pets with senior citizens, thereby giving them companionship and purpose, the benefits of which have been proven by extensive research.

Now serving the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen.

We take pride in assessing each and every animal that enters our rescue. For this reason when we state particular requirements and do so as not to set our rescues or families up for failure.

We do not just ship an animal to our rescue and flip in within hours of arrival. That is NOT rescue.

Each of our rescues leave us behaviorally sound and healthily.
Those who need to stay longer do. No one should have to take pity on the condition of a rescue dog if the rescue has done their job properly.

We love what we do for both the animals we care for and the people/communities we serve. You can't buy love but you can rescue it!
