Ducks, Deer, Fish, Birds and Dogs

1. Conserving Canada's Wetlands

Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) has been committed to wetland conservation for more than 65 years. Despite this, wetland loss continues across Canada. As much as 70 per cent of Canada’s original wetlands have been lost in some areas of the country. DUC—a national, private, non-profit organization—is Canada’s Conservation Company. It’s a responsibility DUC does not take lightly

2. Trout Unlimited Canada

 Trout Unlimited has a broadly based interest in conservation and is not limited to trout. It's mission staement is: To conserve, protect and restore Canada’s    freshwater ecosystems and their coldwater resources for current and future generations.

3. Trout Unlimited California

Trout Unlimited California states that  "July 1999 marked the 40th anniversary of TU’s founding, on the banks of the Au Sable River near Grayling, Michigan. The 16 fishermen who gathered at the home of George Griffith were united by their love of trout fishing, and by their growing disgust with the state’s practice of stocking its waters with “cookie cutter trout”—catchable-sized hatchery fish. Convinced that Michigan’s trout streams could turn out a far superior fish if left to their own devices, the anglers formed a new organization: Trout, Unlimited (the comma was dropped a few years later)."

4. Angling in Alaska

Angling Unlimited is a small business success story that had a rocky ride. In 1993, on a wing and prayer, Angling Unlimited shifted operations to this ocean front jewel in Southeast Alaska.  We freelanced for a lodge in Sitka. The fishing exceeded the stories. It was spectacular. We never looked back

6. White Tail Deer

7. Dobermans

Doberman Rescue Unlimited Established in 1988, Doberman Rescue Unlimited, Inc. (DRU) is a nonprofit, charitable organization whose purpose is to rescue abused, abandoned and unwanted Dobermans and place them in good, safe and loving homes. We also educate the public about Dobermans and responsible, humane animal care.

8. Greyhounds

Greyhounds Unlimited was founded in 1991 in Fort Worth, Texas by Hope Combest and several dedicated volunteers. As with most fledgling non-profits, we started small. However, it quickly became clear that we could acquire and adopt many more greyhounds than our small foster kennel could house.

Over the years, Greyhounds Unlimited has become more of a residential foster home-based organization. This means our volunteers foster any number of rescued greyhounds in their private homes until the dogs are placed in permanent homes. We have found using a residential foster home is the most effective means of ensuring that retired racing greyhounds become acclimated to a home environment prior to their adoption.
