Why Donate?

The care and feeding of the animals is not free.  One of the biggest expenses faced by the Sanctuary is the vehicle needed to round up all the food to sustain the animals.  Vehicle expenses include: the monthly vehicle payment, insurance, and gasoline (approx. $300/month for gas in the winter and $500/month in the summer).  Vet bills and medications are another large expense for the Sanctuary.

Michael is always looking for outside work, but since lockdowns much has changed, and the operation of the Sanctuary is currently supported by one pension cheque.   Every nickel donated helps to free up more funds for necessities, and for upgrades to the sanctuary, to help better care for the animals in need.  Sustaining Isaiah Wildlife Sanctuary is a daily struggle; but is a labor of love.  Anything you donate to help us out is greatly appreciated by us and the wildlife that benefits.

We are always happy to find corporate donors.  For example, an oil & gas company willing to cover the cost of gas for the vehicle; an insurance company willing to cover the cost of vehicle insurance; or an IT company willing to cover the cost of website hosting, etc.  Please reach out to Michael to discuss further.

Isaiah Wildlife Sanctuary was created in the year 2000 and was incorporated in 2018.  The sanctuary is a registered, non­profit corporation (Corporation #1982178) recognized by the Ontario Government.  You can search the Ontario Business Registry (OBR) for us.   Find out more about the sanctuary here.

Hope

Above is Hope, a 5-year-old, female, black bear, rescued by Michael in December 2015.  Michael took care of her for 42 days, while she fought for her life.  This was nothing short of a miracle, because she was almost dead when Michael picked her up.  After the 42 days, she was transported to Toronto, ON for an MRI.  She was the first bear in Canadian history to ever receive an MRI.  All types of media outlets had been tipped off and were awaiting her arrival to witness this historical occasion, as she was wheeled into the hospital.  The MRI revealed that she had spinal meningitis, for which she was treated.  After one year Hope made a full recovery!
