Rocky Road Rescue

Our goals are to rescue dogs from high-kill shelters, dogs without homes, and compassionate owner surrenders, to provide them with the medical care they deserve, as well as find them the best loving forever homes. We are also committed to educating the public on responsible pet ownership, and to give back to the community through assisting families in need whenever possible. We educate through our events & our Learn (www.rockyroadrescue.com/learn) page, and we also partner with other rescues as much as we can!

Rocky Road Rescue is a not for profit all-breed, foster-based, volunteer-run dog rescue in the Ottawa area. As a result of our dedicated foster families, all of our dogs live in a family environment.

Since we are not-for-profit, we raise funds through events and fundraisers, which allow us to continue to rescue dogs in need. One hundred percent of these funds go towards the purchase of food, vetting costs, shelter pull fees, and other costs associated with the general operation of the rescue.

Rescue FAQs

We work within Eastern Ontario to match potential adopters with pets for their home. For the right adopter we can make exceptions on the distance for adoption.

Additional adoption info

Our adoption fee is $400 for adult dogs, and $500 for puppies. This includes all age appropriate vaccines at the time of adoption, as well as spay or neuter and microchip. We do require references and an application to be completed for each adoption. Please reference our website: www.rockyroadrescue.com/adopt for details.
