The Trinity and our Hopes
About Donations
Equipment Wish List
DESPARATELY NEED 48" x-pens and 54" cratesWe know that we cannot save them all. The ones we help come from local shelters (our first priority) and from owner surrenders (surrender fee required). We fund each dog we rescue from the donation received for previous dog we placed. We never seem to have enough funds leftover to purchase the equipment we'd like to provide to each foster home. We welcome donations of the following items:
- gently used bedding (sleeping bags, duvets, quilted bedspreads, sheets, towels, dog beds, crate mats)
- crib bumpers
- baby buntings
- fabric (prefer cotton that measures either 30: x 50" or 38" x 24")
- sturdy toys (especially Kongs and Nylabones)
- leashes, collars, harnesses, haltis, gentle leaders, promise collars, Flexi leads, training leads (15 ft. etc.)
- stainless-steel food dishes, coop cups, d stainless-steel buckets
- dog shampoo and grooming tools
- crates (desperately seeking a 54" wire crate at this time), portable dog runs (must be 6 ft. high), and x-pens (preferably 48" ones, but we'll accept others)
- Bell long-distance calling cards, Canadian Tire money, heartworm prevention pills (Interceptor or Heartguard), and topical flea products (Advantage, Frontline, etc.) are always put to excellent use.

Donate Toys in time for Christmas
If you would like to donate a Toy Pack to Trinity Of Hope Dog Rescue from dogtoys.com, our foster dogs would love the Toy Pack for Giants. Our shipping address is P.O. Box 273, Richmond, ON K0A 2Z0.Donate Aeroplane Points on Air Canada
If you have more frequent flyer points than you can use, we sometimes are desparate to transport a dog from one location to another. The easiest way to fly a dog is to have an escort. It takes 20,000 to 25,000 air mile points to fly roundtrip in North America. If you or your company would like to be contacted should we need a ticket for an escort to get a dog into rescue, please contact admin@TrinityOfHope.on.caProfessional Services Sought
We are on our way to filing to become a registered charity in Canada. Thank you to the James, our legal beagle for helping us to make this dream a reality.Training Support
