Precious Paws Rescue is asked everyday to take in more animals in need - unfortunately without the foster space and funding we just can't accept more dogs into our adoption program. If you've ever considered becoming a foster parent to a dog in need - please contact us today!

Who We Are
Precious Paws Rescue is a non-profit, all-breed dog rescue based in Barrie, Ontario. We are dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets by rescuing from pounds and shelters across North America. Our dogs come to us from situations where they are at risk of euthanasia - most often due to lack of space in a pound or shelter.
While in rescue our dogs do not stay in a shelter environment, but rather in private foster homes where they can receive all of the TLC that they so desperately need. This also gives us a chance to properly assess the dogs in a home environment so that we can place them in the best possible "forever" home.
Most often the dogs we receive come to us with minor to major medical issues. Whether it be as simple as deworming for parasites or as costly as orthopedic surgery, we do not give up on any animal simply due to medical needs. All of our dogs are fully vetted, including spayed/neutered and microchipped, prior to being placed in adoptive homes
Adopting a friend
Adopting a dog is a lifetime commitment and we need to make sure that all of our adopters realize just what they are committing to. Please understand that we recieve phone calls everyday from people who are no longer able to care for their pet or just no longer want to. Our screening process helps to ensure that the dogs we adopt out stay in their homes happy and healthy - for the rest of their lives.
If you are interested in adopting you will be required to fill out an adoption application. In order to complete your application we do require a mandatory home visit prior to your application being approved.
We do not SELL dogs. We do require an adoption fee for each and every dog that we adopt out in order to try to cover some of the costs that we incur for the dogs that we rescue. In rescue we never break even but adoption fees are in place so that we can continue the life-saving work that we do.
Come Visit Us!
We do not have an actual shelter facility. All of our animals are kept in loving foster homes until they are adopted. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals please contact us and we will make arrangements for a meeting at a time that is convenient for you! We look forward to hearing from you!
