About SAAR
The Steinbach and Area Animal Rescue is 100% volunteer-based, and is dedicated to helping animals.
Steinbach and Area Animal Rescue is a non-profit organization that has served the south east of Manitoba since 2013. Volunteers are the lifeline of the organization, which is committed to finding forever homes for abandoned, homeless, and surrendered companion animals.
The demand for intake grows as awareness of the rescue increases. In 2021 the rescue supported over 300 animals, with calls coming in for many more animals than could be accommodated due to space limitations and budgetary restrictions.

The rescue is fortunate to be supported by a diverse set of business owners who see the value of the rescue and generously commit to supplying medical aid, prescriptions, food, and other essential care items at a discount, as well as providing fundraising event sponsorship.
