Niagara Dog Rescue

Niagara Dog Rescue is a volunteer-based registered charity, helping homeless unwanted dogs. We a foster based rescue.

This means we do not have a facility, dogs are pulled from shelters and put in to comfortable homes until they are adopted. We need fosters in Niagara Region or West GTA to love and care for the dogs we rescue until they are adopted. Each foster volunteer allows us to save one more dog and help him/her find a loving forever home. Fostering is ideal for families considering adoption but who are not

yet sure. Fostering provides them an opportunity to get to know the dog and how s/he fits in the family. This allows them to make an informed decision about a long-term adoption.

Meet Alex, a cute chihuahua mix from Texas! He was originally adopted by a couple along with his crate mate Theo whom he loved to play with. Unfortunately, their humans had a major medical change and could no longer care for them. Alex is best suited for a single person to form a strong typical chihuahua bond with. He’s used to being the alpha, so he will have a difficult time adjusting to a new home where he isn’t. Alex is an adorable, loyal guy and he will make a great companion! 💕

(NOT BONDED)

Meet Drago & Dash.. 2 beautiful dogs living at the same shelter in Kentucky and awaiting their forever families.

Drago is a 2.5 year old German Shepherd that was found running loose as a stray in rural Kentucky and brought to the shelter. It didn’t take long for them to notice what an amazing boy he is! Drago is a very lovable boy that is good with all humans, dogs and get this.. even cats! Like a typical German Shepherd he is extremely smart and eager to learn so training will come easy to him.

Dash is a 4 year old boxer mix that was a part of a court case in Kentucky. He was seized from a terrible situation of neglect and arrived at the shelter starved, and covered in fleas and scabs. There were many dogs seized from this property and Dash was sadly locked inside. We saw the conditions inside the home that he had to survive in and it is absolutely heartbreaking. We did include a photo of Dash in the window of his previous home in this post. Dash has been at the shelter for quite awhile as he had to wait for the court case to close before he could officially be listed for adoption. He is a bit shy of new people after what he has been through, but once he gets to know you he is the most loyal and loveable dog. Dash likes other dogs, but is very submissive and gentle, so a dominant or boisterous dog may frighten him.

🐾 Meet Sonya! 💖 Rescued from a notorious slaughterhouse in Cheonan, this sweet and playful girl is looking for her forever family.
Sonya loves to play, be outdoors, and would thrive in an active home! She’s still adjusting to new sounds, so she may need a bit of patience at first. Extremely trainable, she’s already learned to sit!
Due to her energy, we recommend a home with older children or those who are dog-savvy. She can be protective of her food, so if you have another dog, it’s best to feed them separately until she feels secure.
Once she decompresses and learns English, Sonya will be an amazing family dog. If you’re looking for a loyal companion for runs and long walks, Sonya is ready to join you! 🏃‍♀️❤️🏡

Our Story

We are so much more than a dog rescue! We are a community of incredible volunteers with one goal in mind: To help dogs in need find a loving, forever home.

We are foster based. This means we do not have a facility, dogs are pulled from shelters and put in to comfortable homes until they are adopted. We need fosters in Niagara Region or West GTA to love and care for the dogs we rescue until they are adopted. Each foster volunteer allows us to save one more dog and help him/her find a loving forever home. Fostering is ideal for families considering adoption but who are not yet sure. Fostering provides them an opportunity to get to know the dog and how s/he fits in the family. This allows them to make an informed decision about a long-term adoption.
