PROVINCE OF ONTARIO Breed Specific and All Breed Rescue Contacts 2020* Thomas (with Sidney) LOVED BY: The MacNeill Family ADOPTED FROM: Freedom Dog Rescue PHOTO BY: Stephanie MacNeill/Dragon Dance Photography COVER DESIGN: Cathy Vandergeest, www.gawck.ca *Includes Provincial Shelters Preface Welcome to the 2020 online edition of the Province of Ontario Breed Specific and All Breed Rescue Directory, a project undertaken by Speaking of Dogs. We hope it enables users to unite dogs with people and people with dogs. Please note: It is not possible for Speaking of Dogs to obtain each individual rescue group’s policies and procedures. Therefore, it is up to each sheltering organization to acquire these details prior to making the decision to release a dog into their care. Sheltering organizations may wish to question policies such as spay/neuter, foster care arrangements, housing, adoption contracts, home visit protocol, veterinary care and/or return policies. Our volunteers have contacted each rescue and shelter in an effort to provide current and accurate information in this directory. However, most rescue organizations are run solely by volunteers, and despite everyone's best efforts, changes are inevitable and key contact people may no longer be in a position to respond. Therefore, please let us know if you come across any changes that need to be made for the 2021 edition. The rescue directory is only available online and will no longer be published in hard copy. It can be found on our front page at www.speakingofdogs.com Wags and wiggles of thanks to Kathy Bruce, Ian Houston, Mari-Anne McCleary and Cathy Vandergeest for their help with updating, formatting and design. Heartfelt thanks to the dedicated canine rescuers who are part of the directory and offer their assistance to the many dogs who come to them in need. Hopefully, the online version will continue to offer Ontario shelters, humane societies and animal control facilities a comprehensive resource list to help the many dogs who come through their doors each day. To all who care for and about dogs, Lorraine Houston Speaking of Dogs 705‐444‐7637 (SODR) [email protected] i Table of Contents All Breed…………………………….. 1 Cairn Terrier………………………. 11 Small Breed………………………… 4 Catahoula Leopard Dog……… 12 Vision & Hearing Impaired…. 5 Cavalier King Charles Palliative Care Dogs……………. 5 Spaniel……………………………….. 12 Senior Dogs………………………… 5 Chihuahua………………………….. 12 Afghan Hound……………………. 6 Chinese Crested…………………. 12 Airedale Terrier………………….. 6 Chinese Shar‐pei………………… 12 Alaskan Malamute……………… 6 Chow Chow………………………… 12 American Bulldog………………. 6 Clumber Spaniel…………………. 12 American Eskimo Dog………… 7 Cocker Spaniel……………………. 12 American Pit Bull Terrier……. 7 Collie (Rough and Smooth)… 13 American Staffordshire Coonhound………………………… 13 Terrier………………………………. 7 Corgi (Pembroke Welsh)……. 13 Australian Cattle Dog…………. 8 Dachshund………………………… 13 Australian Shepherd…………… 8 Dalmatian………………………….. 13 Basenji……………………………….. 8 Dandie Dinmont…………………. 13 Basset Hound…………………… 8 Doberman………………………….. 13 Beagle………………………………… 8 Dogue de Bordeaux……………. 14 Bearded Collie……………………. 9 English Pointer…………………… 14 Belgian Shepherd Dog………… 9 English Setter……………………… 14 Bernese Mountain Dog………. 9 German Shepherd Dog………. 14 Bichon Frise……………………….. 9 German Shorthaired Pointer. 15 Bloodhound……………………….. 9 Golden Retriever………………… 15 Border Collie………………………. 9 Gordon Setter……………………. 15 Border Terrier……………………. 10 Great Dane………………………… 15 Borzoi………………………………… 10 Great Pyrenees………………….. 15 Boston Terrier……………………. 10 Greyhound…………………………. 16 Bouvier des Flandres………….. 10 Irish Setter…………………………. 16 Boxer…………………………………. 10 Irish Terrier………………………… 16 Brittany……………………………… 10 Irish Wolfhound…………………. 16 Brussels Griffon………………….. 11 Jack Russell Terrier…………….. 17 Bull Terrier…………………………. 11 Keeshond…………………………… 17 Bulldog (English)………………… 11 Kerry Blue Terrier………………. 17 Bulldog (French)………………… 11 Labrador Retriever……………… 17 Bullmastiff…………………………. 11 Leonberger………………………… 17 ii Maltese……………………………… 17 Tibetan Mastiff…………………… 23 Mastiff……………………………….. 18 Vizsla………………………………….. 23 Miniature Pinscher…………….. 18 Weimaraner………………………. 23 Neapolitan Mastiff…………….. 18 West Highland White Newfoundland…………………… 18 Terrier………………………………… 23 Norfolk Terrier…………………… 19 Whippet…………………………….. 24 Norwegian Elkhound………….. 19 Yorkshire Terrier………………… 24 Norwich Terrier………………….. 19 Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever……………………………. 19 Old English Sheepdog…………. 19 Provincial Shelters…… S1‐S13 Papillon……………………………… 19 Pekingese………………………….. 19 Pomeranian……………………….. 20 Poodle (Miniature and Toy).. 20 Poodle (Standard)………………. 20 Portuguese Water Dog………. 20 Pug…………………………………….. 20 Rat Terrier………………………….. 20 Rhodesian Ridgeback…………. 20 Rottweiler………………………….. 21 Saluki…………………………………. 21 Schipperke………………………… 21 Schnauzer (Miniature)……… 21 Scottish Deerhound……………. 21 Scottish Terrier…………………… 21 Shetland Sheepdog……………. 22 Shiba Inu……………………………. 22 Shih Tzu……………………………… 22 Siberian Husky……………………. 22 Soft‐Coated Wheaten Terrier………………………………… 22 Springer Spaniel (English)…… 22 St. Bernard…………………………. 22 Staffordshire Bull Terrier……. 23 iii All Breed Adopt‐a‐Dog Save‐a‐Life Animalert Mary Anne Marcuz Wendy and Kevin Gorman 416‐787‐3862 519‐642‐7732 [email protected] [email protected] www.adoptadogsavealife.com www.animalert.ca All Breed Canine Rescue ANML‐RESQ Network of Lois Jackson Ontario 519‐633‐6226 Renee Leger [email protected] 416‐256‐1364 www.allbreedcaninerescue.
