Our rescue started out in 2000 with a couple of people informally helping out a U.S. rescue. In 2004, the rescue became an official arm of an American rescue and had about 5 foster homes operating in Ontario. In 2007, the rescue officially became” Rat Terrier Rescue Canada Inc”. and focused mainly on helping Rat Terriers in distress. Within two years the rescue grew significantly and had over 50 adoptions. 

Fast forward to the present and the rescue not only helps Rat Terriers in need of a forever home but also any small dog in distress that also needs to find a forever home. 

Our dogs may come from high kill shelters and are in danger of being euthanized, they may also come from hoarding situation and puppy mills, or simply be surrendered by owners who are no longer able to care for them. 

The rescue passed a major milestone in 2018 when the number of adoptions exceeded 200 and this was due in no small part to the increase in people who were willing to foster dogs until they were adopted.

A huge shout out to our Corporate Sponsors
