About RTRC

Adoption Fees

All our Rescued Rat Terriers are Spayed or Neutered, Microchipped, Heartworm Tested and Up to Date on Shots. Our adoption Fee is $350 for adults and $400 for puppies. We are run only by volunteers and receive no funding. Adoption fees do not cover our costs incurred for each rescued dog. We rely on kind donations, fundraising and adoption fees to cover the costs for rescue, rehabilitation and placement of our rescued Rat Terriers. We are a non-profit Canadian organization and all funds are used soley for rescue, rehabilitation and placement of our rescued Rat Terriers.

Helping Homeless Pets

Thank you all for your support and kind donations! All puppies were rescued and transported safely to fosterhomes where they all recovered nicely. Aurora, Belle and Jasmine have been adopted. Only one puppy left for adoption, the lovable and goofy Hershey!

Rescued Puppies to Adopt

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. He is a puppy so his elimination habits still need some work, but it is coming along very well! His recall is also coming along well. Hershey is about 10 months old and weighs 27 lbs. He is a wonderful mix of rat terrier and beagle or hound. He has the hound bark which gives his foster parents a clue of where he is. He shows no alpha male characteristics with the other five dogs that he shares a home with. If you are looking for a pup that will love you as well as make you laugh, then Hershey is your boy!

Rescued Puppies to Adopt

URGENT PUPPIES NEED YOUR HELP!!! Help Rat Terrier Rescue Canada and Give the Gift of Life to four abandoned Rattie puppies, only 6 months old! Four little rattie puppies were left on the side of a road, they are very thin and in poor condition, and will require medical attention right away.

We desperately need donations to help with the vetting costs for these puppies, and get them to warmth, health and safety for the holiday season. Please help us save them and Give the Gift of Life this year to a friend or family member!
