4 Love Of Canines All Breed Dog Rescue and Adoption
About Our Rescue Group
4LC is a volunteer based dog placement and adoption service that takes in owner surrendered pets and rescues homeless dogs from high kill shelters to help ensure that no adoptable animal ends up in a research lab, sitting on death row waiting to be euthanized, or traumatized by being placed in an institutionalized environment such as a shelter.

We supply quality foster care, train and rehabilitate dogs to become loving capable companions and then place them with approved adopters into suitable, permanent, loving new homes.

We ensure that each potential adopter is educated on matters of breed specifics, health and general behaviour traits related to the pet of their choice and make them aware that responsible dog ownership demands a lifetime commitment to the pet.

Come Meet our Pets
We always have a variety of lovingly maintained pets for adoption and they can change on a daily basis so, if you do not see someone looking for a home today that interests you, please come back and visit us again.

If you do see a pet that you are interested in, please go to our web site at www.4loveofcanines.com and submit an application. Once you have done that one of our volunteers will be more than willing to answer any questions you might have and advise you whether we feel the pet would be a good match for your home.

Please note that we are often speaking with several potential adopters about a particular dog and showing interest does not guarantee that you will be selected for adoption of that pet.

Our Adoption Process
All of our pets are fully assessed prior to adoption and adopters are given full disclosure to any behaviour, health or other issues that may be affecting the pet. We pride ourselves on being honest and upfront and our screening process helps ensure that each adoption is a suitable match for both the pet and the adopter.

You must submit an application which can be found on the Adoptable Pets page of our web site at www.4loveofcanines.com prior to visiting a specific dog and must be willing to sign an adoption contract prior to taking a pet home.

We do not adopt on a first come, first served basis and we do not hold dogs without a signed commitment from the adopter. We do reserve the right to refuse any adopter for whatever reason. Visiting a specific dog is done by appointment only and donations requested for each pet may vary.

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.
