Pomeranian and Small Breed Rescue
Who We Are
We are a Canadian Registered Charity Organization, devoted to saving small dogs, both mixed and purebreds, from shelters, pounds and puppy mills. All our dogs are spayed or neutered and up to date with routine shots. We strive to assist people in choosing the best suited dog to become a new member of their family, in order to achieve a lifelong, rewarding relationship.
Adopting a friend
A completed adoption application is required. Potential adoptors are carefully screened and a home inspection must be done. Upon adoption, the adoptor signs an adoption contract that assures the dog will be well cared-for in the new home. The contract also guarantees the dog will be returned to Pomeranian and Small Breed Rescue if the adoptor can no longer keep him.
Our adoption fees are based on the age and health of each individual dog and help pay for the feeding, care, and vetting of dogs in our care.
If the adoption does not work out and the dog is returned to us within the 2 week grace period, adopters will have the adoption fee refunded minus a $100 administration fee.
(Applications, including home visits, usually take two weeks or more to be processed. All of our application processors are volunteers and most of them have families and full time jobs. Please bear with with us)

A Rescue Dog's Story
Once I was a lonely dog, just looking for a home
I had no place to go. No one to call my own.
I wandered up and down the streets, in rain in heat and snow.
I ate whatever I could find; I was always on the go.
My skin would itch, my feet were sore, my body ached with pain.
And no one stopped to give a pat or to gently say my name.
I never saw a loving glance; I was always on the run.
For people thought that hurting me was really lots of fun.
And then one day I heard a voice so gentle, kind and sweet.
And arms so soft reached down to me and took me off my feet.
"No one again will hurt you" was whispered in my ear.
You'll have a home to call your own where you will know no fear.
You will be dry, you will be warm, you'll have enough to eat.
And rest assured that when you sleep, your dreams will all be sweet"
I was afraid I must admit, I've lived so long in fear
I can't remember when I let a human come so near,
And as she tended to my wounds and bathed and brushed my fur
She told me about the rescue group and what it meant to her
She said "We are a circle, a line that never ends
And in the centre there is you, protected by new friends.
And all around you are the ones that check the pounds
And those that share their home after you've been found.
And all the other folk are searching near and far,
To find the perfect home for you, where you can be a star"
She said "There is a family, that's waiting patiently,
And pretty soon we'll find them, just you wait and see.
And then they'll join our circle; they'll help to make it grow,
So there'll be room for more like you, who have no place to go.
I waited very patiently, the days they came and went.
Today's the day I thought, my family will be sent
Then just when I began to think it wasn't meant to be.
There were people standing there just gazing down at me.
I knew them in a heartbeat; I could tell they felt it too.
They said "We have been waiting for a special dog like you"
Now every night I say a prayer to all the gods that be.
Thank you for the life I live and all you've given me.
But most of all protect the dogs in the pounds and on the street.
And send a Rescue Person to lift them off their feet.
