The shelter

Since 2007,
thousands of second chances.

Adoption Lapins Sans Abri (ALSA) was founded in 2007 by Nancy Lachance. Since then, thousands of rabbits have received a second chance thanks to the shelter and its network of foster homes.

Our mission

ALSA gives abandoned rabbits a second chance by spaying or neutering them and finding them a conscientious family.Through education and awareness, we help the public better understand their needs and behaviour. We are proud to be Québec’s leading resource for organizations, businesses and municipalities that want to contribute to rabbit welfare.

Our values

What guides us.

Respect

ALSA champions respect for all living beings, whatever their species, situation or personality. Valuing differences and communicating openly form the basis of all our relationships.

Expertise

ALSA offers experienced advice to the public, municipalities, organizations and businesses: decision support, guidance and awareness of rabbit needs and behaviour.

Partnership

ALSA builds partnerships with organizations, businesses and artisans that promote animal welfare. These alliances highlight mutual support and back our mission.

Our commitment

Never euthanasia of convenience.

We never have shelter rabbits euthanized, except when it is the only option available to us, and for medical reasons only.

When a health problem arises, rabbits are taken to the vet and we cover all the costs, thanks to the donations we receive.

The shop funds the shelter.

Every purchase, however small, pays for veterinary care, food and housing for the rabbits.
