Rat Terrier Rescue Canada Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer organization that rescues and fosters Rat Terriers in private homes. We are dedicated to the welfare of Rat Terriers, it is our purpose to find new, permanent and loving homes for Rat Terriers that have been abused, neglected or abandoned.

Rat Terriers are a small, active and likeable breed that is growing in popularity Canada. Our rescued Rat Terriers are originally from puppy mills, pounds, shelters, or unwanted owner surrenders. They are placed in foster homes for assessment, for vetting and to get them ready for their adoptive families.

All Rat Terriers coming into rescue are spay/neutered, vaccinated and tested for heartworm. As a non-profit organization, Rat Terrier Rescue Canada operates solely by donations and fundraising and all funds are used only for the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of Rat Terriers in need.

Trixie is a sweet, loving and happy girl who would dearly love a family of her own. She is outgoing and enjoys any kind of activities with her family. She especially loves to snuggling up to watch tv at night. She is a pleasant, outgoing middle aged girl, and enjoys the company of adults, children, cats and other dogs.

Hershey is as lovable as he is goofy. He and his three sisters were found on the street starving. Since finding refuge at his foster parents place, he has gained weight and the hair that he had lost around his eyes, ears and back of his legs has grown back in. He loves to sleep as close as he can to his foster mom. Hershey gets along very well with other dogs and cats and he loves to play. Hershey is about 10 months old and weighs 27 lbs. If you are looking for a delightful pup that will love you as well as make you laugh, then Hershey is your boy!
