FOSTER HOMES...FOSTER HOMES...FOSTER HOMES...
We are in desperate need of volunteers and foster homes. If you think you can help us by providing a loving foster home or if you would like to volunteer by screening calls and/or transporting pets, please call us. Your gift of time is GREATLY appreciated.
Adopt-a-Dog/Save-a-Life is a non-profit, volunteer organization. Your donations can help save lives. Every dollar counts. Thank you for your generosity.
*** WHO WE ARE ***
Every year, thousands of abandoned dogs die in pounds across Canada.
People can't resist a cute puppy in the pet shop window...
But when the puppy grows up, it becomes too much bother...
And ends up on "Death Row" at the pound because the owner has grown tired of the novelty.
Ontario pounds are only required to keep dogs 72 hours before killing them, or turning them over for live experimentation, so most abandoned dogs have little chance of survival.
Adopt-a-Dog/Save-a-Life's mission is to find loving permanent homes for these dogs.
Last year alone, Adopt-a-Dog saved 452 abandoned dogs from almost certain death.
