Vinny is a 1-year-old Pomeranian who came from Kashechewan First Nation and is now ready to find a loving forever home. With his bright eyes, fluffy coat, and happy personality, he still has that fun, puppy-like spirit and brings joy wherever he goes. Vinny is an affectionate little guy who loves cuddles, belly rubs, and staying close to his people. He gets along well with other dogs and travels nicely in the car. He has even met a cat in his foster home and was curious but super respectful. Hes playful, social, and always up for fun, making him a delightful companion for an active and loving home. Like many young dogs, Vinny is still learning his manners. He is working on perfecting his housetraining and can sometimes be a little nippy when he gets excited or playful. Like a puppy, he is still exploring the world with his teeth and might accidentally find something to chew. These puppy moments are easily guided with consistent training, redirection, clear boundaries and plenty of appropriate toys that can help him make better choices. Vinny is a smart pup who will thrive with continued basic obedience and positive reinforcement. Here is what his foster has to say about him - "Vinny is a great time. He loves everyone and has so much spunk. He enjoys being held like a baby while have belly rubs, but hes still super tough! Vinny has been so fun to foster and I know his family will have so much fun with this sweet guy!" Vinny would do best in a home with family members who understand puppy behaviour and are excited to help him keep learning. Dog-savvy children who can gently reinforce good habits will help him grow into the very best version of himself. With love, structure, and patience, Vinny will shine as a loyal, happy little companion. Please visit our website www.preciouspawsrescue.ca to submit an adoption application.

Before inquiring about a specific dog for adoption, please ensure you have read their complete bio. We try to provide a complete description of each dog’s preferences in their write up including whether they are good with children and/or other pets. Adoption fees for each dog are also listed in their bio. If you still have questions about a dog you’re interested in please send us a message and one of our volunteers will respond as soon as possible.
The first step if you are interested in adopting one of our available dogs is to complete the following Adoption Application. Once your application is received one of our volunteers will review it and then get in touch with you to schedule a time for an interview. When possible, we request a Skype or Facetime interview with you, so that we can complete your “phone interview” and “home visit” all at once. If these applications are not available to you we will schedule your phone interview first and, following that, we will schedule a home visit where a volunteer visits to meet all family members and see where the dog would be living.
Our focus is on making the best match, not only for our rescue dogs, but also for our adoptive families. We want our adoptions to be successful for all involved so please understand that our adoption process is in place to ensure this happens.

Precious Paws Rescue was founded in December 2006 and is based in Simcoe County, Ontario. We do not operate a shelter facility; all of the dogs that we accept into rescue are fostered with volunteers in this area. Precious Paws was officially incorporated as a non-profit in Ontario in 2010 and registered as a charitable organization in 2019. We are, and always have been, 100% volunteer-run.
We receive daily requests for rescue help from animal shelters and also from owners who are no longer able to care for their dogs. Precious Paws accepts all breeds, all sizes and all ages, we are limited only by the foster spaces we have available and by monetary funds. Foster homes, volunteers and donations are always greatly appreciated so be sure to click over to our “How You Can Help” pages to see how you can get involved.
Precious Paws Rescue ensures that each and every dog we rescue has full veterinary care provided prior to adoption. This includes (but is not limited to) full age-appropriate vaccinations, fecal test and deworming, wellness bloodwork and heartworm test, spay/neuter and microchip. We believe that no dog should be adopted out unaltered (unless there is a medical reason prohibiting this) so we practice pediatric spaying and neutering for all puppies that enter our rescue as well. Often the dogs we rescue require additional veterinary treatments to prepare them for adoption and most dogs that we take in end up costing the rescue much more than the adoption fee recovers. We lose an average of $600 on each and every dog that we rescue. For this reason we host fundraisers and donation drives throughout the year so that we are able to continue being available for the dogs who need us most.
In 2015 we started “Loved At Home” (formerly “Boo’s Fund”) – a fund that endeavors to keep more families together when medical emergencies arise with beloved pets. Sometimes good pet owners fall on hard times and are unable to afford an injury or acute illness with a pet. Most often those owners are forced to euthanize their companion or surrender them to a shelter or rescue to ensure they receive the care they need. Precious Paws would prefer to keep well cared for dogs out of the shelter/rescue “system” and we created Loved At Home to do just that. When funds are available, we will provide pet owners with the money needed to assist with emergency veterinary care, so that dogs don’t lose the family they love and so that there are fewer dogs in need of shelter/rescue assistance. Loved At Home also supports families by providing food donations and temporary foster homes when the situation calls for it.
Precious Paws Rescue has grown a great deal from the one foster/volunteer that we started out with. Because of dedicated volunteers, generous supporters and committed adopters, we have been fortunate enough to directly change the lives of many, many dogs since we started. Our hope is to continue to provide relief to the dogs that need us most for many years to come.
Our Mission Statement
To improve the quality of life for animals in need through foster care and adoption programs, comprehensive veterinary care, behavioural assessments and training, and public education.
