While not particularly "hip" myself- what the heck is athleisure, anyway?!? - pet adoption and rescue is one trend I can certainly get behind.
First off, hats off to anyone who adopts or rescues animals- local AND global. Regarding the latter, there are many rescues in Toronto importing dogs from the Southern US and various far away countries and continents.
However, there is a dire situation currently taking place, right now, in our own country.
Dogs in Northern Manitoba are starving and freezing to death by the dozens. Their remote location makes rescue efforts more difficult, but an effort is under way to help those people and those dogs need all the help they can get right now. If any one is able to assist, please get in touch with K9 Advocates Manitoba or CAARE Companion Animal Advocacy & Rescue Effort.
This is a preview of their documentary:

Please note, the above pictures feature 4 incredible and incredibly loved rescue dogs who participate in K9 Kate's offleash walks. From left to right, meet: Bean, Princess, Sadie and Oakley!
