ALL ADOPTIONS IN ONTARIO ONLY PLEASE!
All families are asked to fill out an adoption application to start the meet and greet process. Please email dcdgavel@gmail.com and one will be emailed to you.
Once the adoption is approved, an adoption agreement must be signed. If the dog is not fixed, then a spay/neuter agreement must be also be signed. It is the responsibility of the new owners as well as the cost to fix the dog at age ready. All adopted dogs are neuter/spay (if age ready), utd shots, dewormed, microchipped (if age ready), and vet checked. A fenced yard is preferred to keep the dog safe. If no fenced yard, the family must prove they can keep the dog secure to be considered. All adopted dogs must be enrolled in positive reinforcement obedience dog training classes within 60 days after adoption.

Donna's Canine Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Zephyr, ON.

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.
