Virden Pet Network is...
...a friendly, small town animal rescue and registered charity. Our volunteers provide veterinary care, including mandatory spay / neuter, for pets in rescue. They are cared for in foster homes until their adoption into responsible, loving families. We also advocate in the community for spay / neuter, humane education, and compassion towards all animals.

Barn Buddies Available

Did you know anyone can apply to Virden Pet Network to adopt a free barn buddy cat?

These cats have been vet checked, dewormed, vaccinated and neutered. Most are too shy or skittish to be suitable as house pets, but they can do pest control on rural properties.

So if you'd like to adopt a barn buddy, click here for details.

Elkhorn Strays Get a Human Hero

This is Dugald, after he was rescued by Elkhorn's animal lover and human dynamo Alicia Hoemsen. He's now healthy, neutered and up for adoption, thanks to Alicia's efforts.

Alicia recently launched a stray cat rescue in Elkhorn to help Dugald and many other homeless pets like him. It all started when she became aware that the town was trapping stray cats and moving them to the dump.

Alicia offered the town her assistance and they accepted. She's now housing the strays and having them neutered and vaccinated, with the help of Virden Pet Network. Tame ones like Dugald will be placed in adoptive homes as pets and the not-so-tame will join our Barn Buddies program.
