Local Dog Rescue's adoption process

Additional adoption info

All dogs will be spayed/neutured before leaving for a new home. An application is required and dogs will be adopted ONLY to approved, indoor homes. An adoption donation is requested to cover the veterinary costs for spay/neuter, vaccinations and microchip. Please read the website for more information.

About Local Dog Rescue

Local Dog Rescue is a voluntary all-breed rescue dedicated to providing hands-on care to unwanted dogs in and around the Thunder Bay area. My rescue is not a registered charity or non-profit organization. I am just a guy who loves dogs, doing what I can to help as many as I can.

Most of the dogs I take in are larger breeds and were either stray, abandoned or scheduled to be put to sleep. While each dog is different in age, appearance and character, they all have one thing in common - they are all hoping for a loving home to call their own!

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
