Northern Reach Network is a non-for-profit organization that was founded by the late Darlene Vezina in 2014. We work closely with our local Humane Society and other animal organizations, to support both people in Thunder Bay as well as First Nations Communities. We provide dog and cat food, medication and advice on the care of their animals. In our first year, 285 dogs/puppies were brought in. Since 2014, we have grown to over 100 volunteers and over 6,000 dogs and cats that we’ve networked to help find them forever homes. Northern Reach Network has partnered with many remote fly in communities to not only help sick, homeless, stray animals, but also bring in dogs and cats that are surrendered by community members that simply want a better life for their furry friend. Once they are flown into Thunder Bay, they are vetted if critically ill and fostered in homes temporarily until they travel to our partners in Southern Ontario where they are fostered and adopted to loving homes.
