Who We Are
Precious Paws Rescue is a non-profit rescue dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets. We are located in Barrie, Ontario, but rescue dogs from high-kill shelters everywhere. Our dogs are not usually in the best of shape when they arrive. We have them groomed, fully vetted (including spayed or neutered) and then we adopt them out into properly screened forever homes.
We DO NOT take owner surrenders as we believe that owners need to be responsible for the animals they take into their lives. Society needs to start being LESS accepting of the "throw-away" view people have about pets. Precious Paws Rescue supports responsible ownership and we will work with owners, by giving advice and assisting in whatever way we can, in order for you to keep your pet. But we will not make it easy for people to "get rid of an inconvenience" as we do not view animals in that way and you shouldn't either.
We do not receive funding of any kind so donations are always greatly appreciated. Without donations from the generous public we would not be able to do the work that we do.
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!
