Career woman and mayoral candidate Caroline Sheppard (Amanda Langille) is determined to find her family's stolen dog, Dinah. Given a lead by an animal welfare activist, Caroline risks her safety and reputation and alienates her family as she searches for Dinah in the underground hell of puppy breeding mills and research laboratories. But when she confronts a brutal dog-fighting ring her courage inspires her family to reunite and help her rescue their pet. 

The Saving Dinah project was conceived to help non-profit organizations achieve not only their animal protection goals, but also increase their membership numbers, and raise much-needed funds.

By entering into a cooperative, no-cost marketing agreement with Saving Dinah, animal protection groups can benefit by:

• sharing in contributions raised on the Saving Dinah website
• raising public awareness of companion animals issues
• acquiring the name and contact information of potential, new supporters
• using the Saving Dinah website to promote themselves, and their cause.

Please contact Executive Producer and Animal Alliance of Canada Director Liz White for more information about making common cause with Saving Dinah.

Groups Involved

Like Project Jessie, two other animal protection groups are actively involved in Saving Dinah – the Humane Society of Durham and The Animal Guardian Society (TAGS). The Shelter Manager of the former, Brenda Cameron, will be playing the “Shelter Manager” in the film. Also, we’ll be using the Humane Society as a location and they will be providing some animals.

The dogs we will be using in most of the scenes will be coming from TAGS. They, like our Project Jessie star Sally, are all rescue dogs, many in need of homes.
