Chance's Rescue We are an Ontario-based, non-profit dog rescue organization (OCN #1000195704). A short time later he was euthanized. All dogs deserve a chance.

In 2019 we travelled back to NYC to meet and adopt Chance, after successfully adopting Hudson (2015) and Lola (2017). Between the time he came on our radar to the time we arrived at the shelter his status changed from adoptable to "rescue-only". We were heartbroken that he could not be saved. It is important to remember that a dog's behaviour in the shelter system does not accurately predict their behaviour on the outside. And the fact that they are "shelter dogs" does not dictate how they will fit into a home.

Welcome Bandit ❤
This little guy came to us unexpectedly today. He is almost 8 weeks old and we are told a bully-mastiff mix. He is friendly with people, playful & confident with other dogs and will be seeking a breed-experienced home. After his vet appointment tomorrow, we are sending him off to hang out in a foster home for a few weeks. This will help us to learn all about him and the type of home he will be seeking once he's ready for a family. He is not currently accepting applications but please reach out with an email for info on our adoption process.

Please help if you can!

🐾✈️ WINNIPEG TO OTTAWA: WE NEED YOUR HELP! ✈️🐾

Are you flying from Winnipeg to Ottawa with WestJet or Air Canada anytime soon? We have two precious puppies who need a little help getting to their next chapter! ❤️

We are looking for someone who would be willing to have these two puppies added to their existing flight reservation as part of our rescue transport.

It’s SO simple, and we do all the work! 🐶

Our volunteers will meet you at the Winnipeg airport, take care of the arrangements and get the puppies checked in. All you need to do is be our travelling volunteer! We’ll also arrange for someone to meet them when they arrive in Ottawa.

You don’t need to purchase a ticket or change your travel plans. We just need someone who is already heading that way and is willing to help!

Something so small for you could mean the world to these two little lives. ❤️

If you’re travelling this route, or know someone who is, please send Paws to Rescue a message!

And even if you’re not flying, PLEASE SHARE! The right person might be just one share away. 🐾❤️

A message from Nora’s mom (formerly Harlow):

Hi Kim,

Hope all is going well!

We finally got Nora's Embark results and wanted to share them with you – screenshot attached – what a mix! I'm surprised there isn't even a touch of husky in there!

As for Nora, she is doing great! She's learning (and growing) so much every day and is an all-round awesome girl.

We also wanted to give a huge and sincere thank you to Nora's foster parents (which I can't believe I missed doing in my first update email). It is clear Nora was given so much love and guidance during those foster weeks and I believe it really helped set Nora up for success. Thank you, fosters!

Sharing a few more recent photos of this sweet girl.
Thank you for everything!

This post touches on two points:
So many people ask about the breeds of the dogs coming through our doors. Sometimes we can offer a guess or two but Nora’s results highlight the fact that so many breeds can make up the pup who looks like a “shepherd mix” or “Husky cross”. Most of the breeds listed in her Embark profile were not even on my radar but the results are fascinating!

Fosters. They are so important to the adoption process. It might only be a few weeks but it helps to set our pups up for success once they are in a forever home. We are grateful to those who offer a safe space to a shy, scared, under socialized dog and show them that the world can be a good place. Thank you ❤️

Today our amazing, supportive, creative friend Laurie from Morphing Materials donated $760 to our rescue. We are forever grateful to her and invite everyone to check out her page or, better yet, go visit her at the Metcalfe Farmers' Market this weekend for their first Christmas market of the season!

Birdie & Boop have been able to spend some time together since leaving for their foster homes - their foster moms are cousins 🥰 They are learning about the good life and we are so grateful to those who open their homes to our rescues.

Let's preface this by saying "we are not a cat rescue". However, cat rescues are full and we could not ignore this baby in need. He was on the side of a moderately busy road, with only farm fields around. And 24 hours later he was still in the same spot. He was starving and despite looking like a healthy older kitten, once you pick him up you realize you can feel every bone in his body 😔
He is currently decompressing in a room in our home, eating & drinking well enough and he immediately knew how to use a litterbox. Was he dumped there? We can't say for sure but the location, body condition, litterbox use and the fact that he allows me to pick him up all point to him being a housecat at some point in time. We have been feeding feral cats for the past couple of years and they still hiss at me, not allowing me to get too close. But his guy purrs when I scratch his head and talk to him.
We have named him Churro and he will see the vet later this week. Once we have the go-ahead from the vet, he will be neutered and available for adoption.
