A regional rescue with defined capacity
Steinbach and Area Animal Rescue has served southeastern Manitoba since 2013. Its published 2025 intake figures record 371 cats and fifty dogs. The organisation explains that space and budget limit the animals it can accept. Its physical facility is on Keating Road, while mail goes to a separate Brandt Street address, a useful distinction for visitors and supporters.
Volunteers work alongside a rescue manager
SAAR describes itself as almost entirely volunteer-based. Its first paid Rescue Manager position coordinates daily operations and supports the volunteer community, reporting to the board. Prospective volunteers over sixteen apply through the organisation and discuss suitable roles with its coordinator. Opportunities therefore involve both direct animal care and the administrative work that keeps the rescue functioning.
Animal Concierge means practical daily care
Animal Care volunteers change bedding, clean litter and kennels, replenish food and water, and spend time with animals. Dogs can have backyard time or neighbourhood walks; cats receive companionship, play or gentle contact appropriate to them. The role has no fixed schedule, but SAAR welcomes a weekly commitment so these everyday tasks have dependable support.
A dedicated routine before the night
The Goodnight Shift gives dogs their final outdoor break, cleans accidents, tops up water and checks that kennels and cat rooms are securely closed. The published commitment is one evening each week, usually around 9 to 10:30 p.m., with some flexibility. Volunteers need to work independently and handle changing weather; pairs can take part together.
Other ways to help, and where to report found pets
Shelter Support combines public enquiries, computer work and adoption assistance for two to four hours weekly. Housekeeping involves laundry, organisation and cleaning in one or two two-hour shifts. Fundraising volunteers help with events and collecting donations. For an animal found within Steinbach city limits, the site directs residents to Rural Animal Management Services or municipal authorities before treating it as a rescue intake.
