Who We Are
WHO WE ARE:
We are a volunteer, independent, all breed, small dog rescue organization, based in Southern Ontario. We are non funded and we do not seek donations except for a few exceptional and expensive medical cases.
Ours, is a very unique rescue group because of the "long distance" rescue work we have chosen to do. We are dedicated to helping find excellent homes for dogs from a Quebec pound (Fourriere Municipale d'Alma); we occasionnally help a US shelter and high kill municipal pounds as well as a few local owner surrendered dogs, when all other options have been exhausted. We co-ordinate adoptions of these dogs to caring and loving homes.
Because we do not have a shelter and we have few foster homes, we need the assistance of our adopters to take part in this life saving endeavor. Therefore we need a committment from an adopter, before we can take a dog out of his pound and have him transported hundreds of kilometers to us. Our relationship with our adopters is based on trust and a common goal to help save a particular dog's life. We draw the first half of the rescue circle and our adopters draw the second half and close this life saving circle: without these very special people, we could not save one dog from going to the gas box. We understand that this type of adoption is not for everyone. However, our very low return ratio demonstrates that our adopters are very devoted animals lovers and are totally committed to the cause and prove to be rescuers in their own right.
The majority of the dogs posted on our website are still at their respective pounds waiting for us to find them an adoptive family: only then, can we pull them out of the pound and arrange their transportation to join their adoptive family. We foster senior dogs and special need dogs since they need a longer time to find homes for and do not do well at the pound.
For adopters who are still undecided about committing to having a pet on a permanent basis, or worry about the dog being suitable for their household, our "foster to adopt" program might be the solution. Please inquire about it.
Please open your heart and home to a needy pet. You can help us save a life.
