Whistler Animals Galore (WAG) was founded in 1982 when two friends identified the need for an animal rescue service in the Sea-to-Sky corridor. Since then, WAG has grown into a fully-fledged non-profit and registered charity organization that cares for and rehomes hundred of animals each year. It also partners with the Resort Municipality of Whistler by providing animal control services, and PAWS in Pemberton.
Mission Statement – To protect and enhance the lives of lost, unwanted, and homeless animals.
Vision – To bring about a time in our communities when all animals are treated humanely and with respect, and when every cat or dog ever born is guaranteed a loving home for the duration of its life.
Values – Respect. All animals should be treated with respect, as one would treat another person. Accountability. WAG holds itself accountable to its donors as well as to the animals for which we care, for the duration of their lifetime. Similarly, all members of our community should be held accountable for their actions towards animals. Quality of Life. Our daily mission is to ensure that we do all in our power to ensure a high quality of life for the animals in our care, including quality medical care, training, socialization, basic care, and exercise.
