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.

Labrador retriever mix - Female - 70 lb - 3-4 yrs (approx.)

Location: Toronto

Sponsored in loving memory of Dad, Tequila and Penny

Meet Libby! ❤️ 😍

Libby is a 3-4-year-old black Labrador retriever mix with a sweet and loving personality. Rescued from the North, she arrived in Toronto on December 10, ready to begin her new life. Libby is an affectionate girl who loves all kinds of attention, especially belly and neck rubs. She’s a true cuddle bug and loves to snuggle with her family, making her the perfect companion.

Libby’s journey hasn’t been easy – she underwent an emergency C-section and was spayed on September 30. Despite her past, she’s a resilient and kind dog who continues to shine with her gentle nature. At her recent veterinary check-up, she was found to be a very healthy and happy girl. She’s also up to date with her vaccines and microchipped, so she’s ready for her forever home!

As a northern dog, Libby is still adjusting to city life. While she’s a bit timid outside due to the new sights and sounds of traffic, other dogs, and busy streets, she’s been doing great and becoming more comfortable every day.

She enjoys meeting new people and always greets them with a wagging tail. Though she’s friendly with other dogs, she tends to keep to herself as she gets used to new canine friendships, and she has shown no signs of aggression.

Libby is smart, quick to learn, and very well-behaved. She would thrive in any household, whether it's an apartment or a house with a yard. Libby is ready to find her forever family where she can continue to grow and bring joy with her loving and calm presence. 🐾

All our adoptable dogs want for Christmas is a forever home.

Our adoptable dogs don’t want a lot for Christmas but there is just one thing that they need. They don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree. All they want is a forever home of their own.

Please make their wish come true…all they want for Christmas is you (their forever home).

Shiloh, Luna, Dean, Ginger, Penny, Philip, Leo, and Gilbert need your help finding a forever family. Please share them and visit our website for more information: http://savemedogrescue.ca/status/for-adoption/

SAVE ME REMEMBERS GIZMO

We are saddened to hear about the loss of Gizmo. We are thankful to his family for giving him so much love.

“In June of 2015 we were lucky enough to adopt a Pomeranian from save me rescue.

Gizmo was an awful site when we first got him as he was shaved down and had scabs from other dogs nipping at him.

He was a very quiet but good dog. He was absolutely attached to my husband as he couldn’t go anywhere without him.

Our dear Gizmo went over the rainbow bridge on Wednesday December 11. It is absolutely breaking our heart especially my husbands who was always a large dog person.

We would like to thank Save Me Rescue and Gizmo for choosing us and allowing us 9 years.”

The dogs featured in this album have recently arrived in to Save Me Rescue’s care and are NOT accepting applications. Once they have been assessed and are ready for adoption, they will be moved to the Available Dogs album. Most of these photos have been taken at their respective shelters and you can see how scared and confused they are. They now know true love with their foster homes.

Stay tuned for updates on these beautiful dogs!

Please note in addition to not accepting applications for these dogs, we do not accept general applications. We only accept applications once a dog has been placed in the Available Dogs album and noted as available for adoption or in the In Rehabilitation album and noted as accepting applications.
