About Us Helping Homeless Pets was created in November 2006 to help pets who need a new home and to help reduce the number of pets who may become homeless. We do this by directly supporting Pet Rescue Groups and by educating future and current pet owners. We are working to unite pet rescues across Canada with the knowledge that by working together we can rescue more homeless pets and prevent future homeless pets. |

Our
Mission is to support legitimate
and ethical Pet Rescue
organizations by assisting them with certain
services and allowing them to focus on the care
and finding of a suitable home for the pets they
have rescued. Each pet listed on this site has been saved by a rescue organization, given proper care and is available for adoption through that organization.
Why Rescue Rescue Groups began to form and one of the first was Pets Alive in New York State that was started in 1965.
Today, there are many No Kill shelters
where pets are not put to sleep, but the problem
of over crowding persists.
There are two major difference between shelters and rescues . Shelters are usually run and funded by the city where they are located, with funding coming from licensing fees. In many cases though, this funding is inadequate to care for the large number of animals that need help, making euthanasia the only option. Rescue groups are funded only by donations and all the people are volunteers. While some shelters do put animals into foster homes, many are housed onsite in kennels. Rescue Groups place all their rescues into foster homes as they do not have shelter facilities. Animals in foster care do fare better as they are in a real home, just like the home that is out there for them somewhere. Both shelters and rescue groups are essential in the long term care of animals. We have chosen to assist rescue groups, however, anytime a homeless pet finds a new and permanent home it's a good thing. If there is a shelter near you, then visit there to find a pet, or just volunteer to walk a dog or clean a rabbit's cage. Don't think someone else will take care of it, because quite often that someone else has already been volunteering 20 hours a week for the past 5 years, We urge everyone to, 'Please consider adoption first'. Adoption is not for everyone, but there are many wonderful pets, that will love you forever if you bring them home with you. We believe that "Every Pet deserves a loving home"

Next Steps Our hope is that someday this service will no longer be required, but until that day, Helping Homeless Pets will help as many pets find forever, loving homes as we can.

When the shelters got full
and a dog was there too long, the dog was put to
sleep to make room for other more adoptable dogs
coming in. It was, and still is, a very
sad situation when a healthy pet is euthanized
as a direct result of human neglect or ignorance. The staff
working in shelters are forced to make
incredibly gut wrenching decisions everyday.
Mostly caused by pet over population and the
failure of too many people to recognize that pets
should be spayed or neutered. Bob Barker,
the host of The Price is Right ended
every broadcast of the show with a plea to spay
or neuter your pets, starting in the 1970's.
But even today, there are those that just don't
bother, don't care or think that their Sparky
would change if neutered. This leads to healthy,
wonderful pets being euthanized daily around the
world for no other reason that no one wants them
or has room. 
There are now
breed specific rescue groups for nearly every
canine breed and groups that rescue any dog.
There are also cat, rabbit, parrot, ferret and
other groups that rescue other pets.
