Dog rescue in Toronto, ON

WELCOME PAWS RESCUE is a registered nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, operated entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers who are deeply committed to the welfare and well-being of animals. Our mission is to rescue and provide a second chance to dogs in need.

We believe that every animal, regardless of age, size, or breed, deserves to experience the love, care, and security of a forever home. Through our rescue efforts, we strive to create a brighter future for these deserving animals, working tirelessly to ensure they are given the opportunity to live happy and healthy lives. Our goal is not only to change the lives of the animals we rescue but to also raise awareness about the importance of compassion and responsible pet ownership in our communities.
