Save Me Rescue is a registered non-profit charity dedicated to saving dogs and placing them in loving
(200)

Our mission

Founded in 2012 Save Me Rescue, located in Southern Ontario, is one of many non-profit organizations dedicated to rescuing abandoned or otherwise homeless animals, (primarily dogs) from high-kill shelters predominantly around Canada and the United States. Additionally, Save Me Rescue focuses our efforts on providing foster homes for dogs whose owners are no longer able to care for the

m, in order to place them in the care of individually chosen families with whom they can bond and grow with in years to come. By effectively connecting and working alongside impossibly committed volunteers, dedicated foster homes, local veterinarians, diligent trainers and boarding facilities, Save Me is able to rescue, rehabilitate and relocate a large number of animals every year. Providing incoming animals with much-needed loving temporary care until we are able to find them carefully screened, well-matched forever homes is simply our pleasure. Formed after recognizing a need for an organization which specialized on the medical health and behavioural well-being of the dogs they rescued, Save Me also found an absence of support for the families behind their adoptions. This includes both the families surrendering dogs who often have no other choice but to turn to shelters or rescue groups for help, by ensuring that they feel supported in their decisions and reassuring them that their loved ones will be cared for in every sense of the word, and keeping in touch with the families who we have been lucky enough to meet through the adoption of one of our foster dogs. To further prevent this issue from occurring, Save Me Rescue decided very early on to also serve as a resource to communities and all pet owners by providing education and information on responsible pet ownership, including the importance of spaying and/or neutering your pet, positive behavior training, and proper nutrition.

Avalon - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Havanese Mix - Female - 10 lbs - 4.5 yrs (approx.)

Location: Acton

Sponsored in honour of my Daisy who is about 12 and had a mass removed from her eye and is on the mend and waiting for the results of her biopsy. Please keep Daisy in your prayers.

Avalon is a sweet, timid girl that takes a bit of time to warm up. Once she feels safe, she enjoys following her people, exploring, and has found toys to be so much fun. She is fostered in a home with a cat and dogs and is respectful with everyone. Crate and house training are in progress, and with routine she is catching on. She enjoys walks and has been progressing with a harness.

She enjoys being part of the daily activities and would like to have someone home most of the time. A home with another similar sized pup would be a bonus.

Avalon recently underwent surgery to remove a small mammary growth. Wonderful news, the growth was found to be benign. She is recuperating well and will be available for adoption once fully healed.

She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and had a dental.

Avalon is ready to bring joy, cuddles, and kisses to her forever home.

For more information on Avalon, please contact Bea at [email protected].

Philip - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Beagle - Male - 30 lbs - 8 yrs (approx.)

Location: Toronto

Sponsorship is from Lesley in loving memory of my Bernie the Westie, who I miss always xoxo

Philip is an adorable 8-year-old Beagle with soulful eyes. He is full of curiosity and loves spending time outside followed by a nap. His classic tri-color coat adds to his charm, and his floppy ears are just begging for a scratch!

Background: Philip’s journey began when he was found as a stray in Tennessee, so not much is known about his past. When he arrived in Canada, Philip was scared and uncertain of his new surroundings, however he has quickly shown confidence and happiness in his foster home. His new family will need to be patient with him as he adjusts to his forever home.

Ideal Home: Philip would thrive in a female-only home, with no children or cats, and recommended that he is the only animal. He is excellent with visitors of any gender, however, has shown guarding behaviors towards males living in the home and thus would be most comfortable living with females. Phillip has also shown to be pleasant around cats however can become very stressed and begin growling at cats if there is tension, which is why a no-cat home would be preferred. Phillip loves to spend time outside on walks and a fully fenced backyard would be ideal. He will need to be walked on a leash because although his recall in the backyard is excellent, the smells of the wider world as a scent hound are irresistible to him and he could easily get lost. Although Phillip is quiet, it is preferred that he lives in a larger area, like a house, to allow him space to rest and keep to himself when needed.

Personality: While Philip loves company and being around his favourite people, he’s also content to entertain himself when his humans are busy, and has not shown any destructive behaviors. Phillip is a quiet dog, and very rarely barks. Phillip currently shares his foster home with a medium sized dog who he gets along with very well, and has shown to get along with many small and medium sized dogs. Phillip is excellent in the car.

Special Needs: Philip does show leash reactivity towards larger dogs (he growls when he large dogs approach him during his walks). On walks, Phillip is strictly guided away from other dogs which prevents this behavior and has shown to be very successful. Philip’s ideal home will have owners who will provide structure to him, so he understands he is not the boss. Phillip has learned not to come up on furniture in his foster home to strengthen this messaging as well. His current foster family adores him and finds him extremely easy to be around and love!

Charolette - ADOPTED!

Havanese Mix - Female - 14 lbs - 3 yrs (approx.)

Location: Woodstock

Sponsored in honour of my Daisy who is about 12 and had a mass removed from her eye and is on the mend and waiting for the results of her biopsy. Please keep Daisy in your prayers.

Charlotte is a sweet dog that came to her foster home quite timid. In the week she’s been here, she has made some great progress. She has learned to play with toys and to trust her foster parents. Charlotte enjoys being with her people and gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home. Charlotte is great in the car, she will curl up and go to sleep. Charlotte is not quite house trained, but is quickly catching on. Charlotte is free fed with her other foster dogs and there are no issues. Charlotte is learning how to walk on a leash and is also catching onto this very quickly. Charlotte still shows some fear when meeting strangers, but once she realizes they are not going to hurt her, she warms up very quickly.

Charolette recently had a visit with our vet and she is a healthy girl. As is very common, in small dogs, Charolette does have luxating patellas in both of her hind legs. The vet graded them as 2-3 and her mobility is not affected. This grade of luxation is not requiring surgical intervention. To optimize Charolette not having issues, in the future, she needs to be kept at a healthy weight. Supplements such as glucosamine chondroitin and/or omegas can also by helpful.

Charlotte has not been around young children, but her foster parents do not see any issues, as long as the children are respectful. Charlotte needs to go to a home that can give her the confidence she needs to be a happy member of their family.

Stanley - RECEIVING EXTRA TLC - Not Accepting Applications

Japanese Chin Mix - Male - 9 lbs - 3-5 yrs (approx.)

Location: Guelph

Sponsored on behalf of our beautiful rescue dogs Dolly, Mickey, Molly and Mocka we are thrilled to sponsor Stanley.

Stanley was seized from a backyard breeding situation. From what we understand, Stanley was born there and this is the only life he has known up to this point.

Currently Stanley is learning about life in a family home. He seems eager to learn, but is so very scared of many things. Hands being one of them. So far, his experience at being handled by humans has not be very positive and that has led Stanley to be very mistrusting of human hands coming towards him. Has has been adapting well to everything else. Learning to eat from a dish, learning what the comfort of a doggy bed is, regular nutritious meals, warm safe home to live in. He's very interested in his foster parents, even if there is some distrust. He's open to watching and sitting with them, but prefers not to be touched at this time. As you can well imagine, it proves difficult to house train or leash train a dog that cannot be handled, so Stanley will remain in our care until that trust can be earned.

Stanley is also having some medical work done. His teeth and nails have never been looked after, and he was never neutered. As well, he appears to have some level of deformity in his back legs. Stanley will be seeing our vet to have these issues addressed as well.

He's a sweet quiet little guy who is curious about his new life and seems to open to the new changes going on in it. He likes the other dogs in the home, and is learning to relax around his human foster family.

While the shelter indicated he was a cavalier/shih tzu mix, we feel he has some Japanese chin in him.

If you would like to follow Stanley's progress, his foster mom posts about him almost daily to her Instagram account and you are welcome to follow his journey there.

For more information on Stanley, please contact Colleen at [email protected]
