Kenora City Council is planning to set up a special committee to deal specifically with animal welfare.
A total of eight people will sit on the committee, including representitives from Rescue North, It's a Dog's Life, the Cat Shelter and the Kenora Veternary Clinic.
Council is also seeking a member from the public to sit on the committee.
The City decided to set up the committee after Rescue North approached council about supporting their efforts.
The animal rescue agency told council last month that its running short of funds and is seeking help from the community.
