Our Mission
WE ONLY ADOPT IN ONTARIO AND QUEBEC, CANADA
*As far away as Barrie & Cambridge, Ontario & Gatineau, Quebec*
***We have ZERO control over how Petfinder promotes the pets via their platform, & sometimes our dogs show up in searches by those in the USA***
Birch Haven Rescue and Rehabilitation Services is an all-volunteer group located in Eastern ON, Canada, founded in 1996 to assist Great Danes/other Giant Canine Breeds & Equines that have been abandoned, abused, neglected, & otherwise mistreated by rescuing, fostering, rehabilitating physically plus behaviourally, & then placing them into their forever loving homes.
Dogs are treated as beloved members in approved temporary foster homes.
*We are NOT a facility*
We are small, private, and committed to rescue, entirely funded by monetary gifts, owner surrenders, and adoption fees. We do not receive any government funding.
*ONLY completed adoption applications submitted to the BHRR BOD shall be considered.*

Adoption Policy
**NOTE: As of December 1st, 2016; BHRR shall no longer be responding to any inquiries to adopt. We are following the lead of other r/q organizations, and ONLY completed adoption applications submitted to the BHRR BOD shall be considered/responded to.**
BHRR requires an application/contract to be filled out, personal references including a vet reference, if applicable, and a home visit(almost always the dog(s) come to the home visit depending on location) completed before being approved to adopt a BHRR animal.
We also require that at the time of a home visit, after successfully completing the application process up to that point that the whole family, including any other currently owned animals, are present at the time of the home-visit. BHRR only places per best-matched personality fit.
We also require that within four months of having adopted your new addition that, at least one full round/session of group classes of obedience (they can range from 6-18 weeks) must be started, and upon completion, proof (registration + completion) must be submitted and with having your signature on the adoption application/contract; you will be in a legal breach of your contract should this not be done. The animal involved will have to be returned promptly & safely to BHRR at your own expense.
Please contact us with an introduction attached to your completed application/non-refundable processing fee, which must include some details about you, your family if applicable, current pets, where you live, etc. to be considered for a BHRR animal. We will no longer be responding to inquiries that do not have a completed application/non-refundable processing fee attached to their introduction. We will not consider homes that DO NOT have a properly fenced-in yard. The fenced-in yard must be directly accessible from at least one door of the house.
Please note that we do not consider electrical fencing, barbed wire, invisible fencing, outdoor kennels, hedges, bushes, trees, or dog ‘runs’ ap
