Speaking of Dogs Rescue

Speaking of Dogs Rescue

Speaking of Dogs Rescue Program is a Canadian registered charity. We are a volunteer-based dog rescue in Toronto that is dedicated to assisting dogs from shelters as well as taking in dogs surrendered by their owner when space allows. Good relationships with various shelters and rescues throughout Ontario allow us to work together to help dogs in need. We have a focus on helping senior dogs. Our dogs are lovingly cared for in foster homes until we find them a suitable forever home.

Goals

* To offer shelter or sanctuary for dogs, provide them with any needed medical attention, and actively seek new homes for rescued dogs.

* To relieve the suffering of dogs in need of care and attention and in particular provide and maintain rescue homes or other facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such dogs

* To promote humane behavior towards dogs by providing appropriate care protection, treatment and security for dogs which are in need of care and attention due to illness, maltreatment, or poor circumstances.

* To educate the public in matters pertaining to the welfare of dogs in general and the prevention of cruelty and suffering among dogs.

What We Do

Since 2001 Speaking of Dogs Rescue has helped transport, foster, vet and re-home hundreds of dogs. All dogs entering our rescue are spayed or neutered, microchipped and have their medical needs attended to. The majority of dogs we admit into the rescue are from shelters or are puppy mill survivors; we have a strong focus on helping senior dogs. Our dogs are lovingly cared for in foster homes until a suitable forever placement is found. Our adoption process entails a written application, a telephone interview, reference and veterinary checks and an in-home visit. We are dedicated to placing our dogs in homes that are responsible, caring and compassionate. We are committed to a dogs’ quality of life and adopt only to suitably matched applicants.

We actively fund raise in an effort to help cover rescue related costs such as medical care, grooming, boarding, food and supplies (such a microchips, collars, harnesses and leashes).

We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found.
