Areas Safehome Animal Rescue serves

We rescue animals worldwide, but we only allow for the adoption and foster of our animals within Ontario, Canada so that we can keep in contact with all of our animals. We do not transport any animals out of Ontario; thank you for your understanding!

Safehome Animal Rescue's adoption process

1.

Submit Application

To meet our animals, you must first fill an application. We will conduct reference checks and an interview with you to determine right fit.

2.

Meet the Pet

If your application is approved and your home deemed appropriate after a check, the animal will come to you for a 1-2 week home visit trial.

3.

Sign Adoption Contract

If both parties decide the animal is a good fit and wish to finalize adoption, a signed adoption contract and adoption fee must be submitted

Additional adoption info

At Safehome Animal Rescue, our goal is to find the most suitable environment for each animal, and we reserve the right to refuse anyone for adoption or fostering. We want all our animals to find a loving forever home, and strive to achieve that through our policies and careful selection process.

We strive to ensure all animals are medically and emotionally sound for adoption. We fully vet all animals we adopt out, including spay/neuter. We will always, to the best of our knowledge, be honest about any health or behavioural issues. Most of our animals are stray or shelter animals, and we do not have their complete history. We cannot guarantee age, breed, or behaviour. What we observe with each animal may differ from what happens in your home; you must be ready to dedicate some time to helping your new friend adapt to their new environment.

An application must be filled out for each animal so that we can review and find the best possible adopter/foster. The selection process involves reference checks and a home visit conducted by one of our associates before you are permitted to adopt/foster, followed by a 1-2 week "home visit” before permanent adoption is finalized. This helps ensure the right match, as it allows both the rescue and the adopter to evaluate whether the animal's needs are being met in the new home, and how good of a fit you are for one another. During that time, until a permanent adoption contract is signed, the animal remains in the ownership & responsibility of Safehome Animal Rescue.

Our adoption fees are non-negotiable. Upon the termination of any adoption, the animal must be returned to Safehome Animal Rescue. Our fees vary for dogs; please check their bio for adoption fees.
Adoption fees for cats are as follows: $250 for adult cats, $300 for kittens, and $550 for a pair of kittens. These fees include all basic vetting - exam, vaccinations, and spay/neuter.

We will not under any circumstances adopt out an animal for breeding purposes, so please don’t contact us if you want an un-altered pet. Our goal is to educate people on the importance of spaying/neutering.

Safehome Animal Rescue's adopted pets

Adopt a Pet is the easiest way for you to search for a new pet in Toronto/GTA, 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.
