FOSTER HOMES ARE NEEDED
We are desperately looking for foster homes in the Ottawa area as there is no shortage of dogs in need and we usually have a waiting list of dogs needing foster care, many who are urgent. If you can help by opening your home to a dog in need, please contact us.
Who We Are
Catahoula Rescue was founded in 2001 by a small group of Catahoula owners. Catahoula Rescue, Inc. advocates for homeless Catahoulas and Catahoula mixes and places these animals in permanent, loving homes. We promote responsible guardianship through humane education. We also assist responsible Catahoula owners if they must find a new home for their dog. We can offer advice and options that might make it possible for the dog to stay with his family. If it is still necessary to rehome the dog, we will list him/her on our available pets page.
All of the dogs that come into our care, go to various foster homes. The location of the dog's foster home is listed in each, individual ad. Our work is paid for by donations, adoption fees, and the volunteers themselves and we are always looking for foster homes. For more information, please visit our website at www.catahoularescue.com. An online application can also be found if you follow the adoption link. If in a dog's profile beside their name the word "Pending" appears, it indicates we have an active application on the particular dog that we are screening .
Adopting a friend
All dogs are spayed or neutered and up to date on rabies, DHLPP, HW tested and on preventative. The first step in adopting a Catahoula is to fill out an adoption application. An online application can be completed at www.catahoularescue.com, or you can email us and a word version can be emailed to you.

Special Thanks:
We would like to extend our gratitude to Dr. Johnson at Billings Bridge Animal Hospital in Ottawa and Dr. Vachon at Lafontaine Vet Clinic in Rockland for their ongoing support and excellent care of our rescue dogs. We would also like to thank Critter Jungle, Pet Value and Global Pet Food for their ongoing support of rescue groups in the Ottawa area.
Our gratitude also goes to our amazing transport coordinators and every volunteer driver and shelter volunteer who spend their weekends on the road driving dogs at risk to safety because without them, rescue could not be possible.
