Freedom Dog Rescue

Freedom Dog Rescue Freedom Dog Rescue is a registered charity Non Profit all breed dog rescue in Ottawa, Ontario in Can

Freedom Dog Rescue is a small, non-profit, all-breed dog, all-size foster based rescue which was founded in Ottawa, Ontario in February 2015. Charity # 783761323RR0001

Our fosters and volunteers are the heart and soul of Freedom Dog Rescue, and the reason we are able to successfully rescue and adopt out so many deserving dogs. We truly are like a family of friends and in some cases we actually ar

e family and it's just so amazing that we can share our passion together and have so much fun doing so. Being a foster based rescue means that any dog in care with us is placed in a loving foster home and not in a kennel environment. We strongly believe that they have gone through enough struggles and hardship in their lives and all of our foster families are devoted to showing and teaching the dogs in our care how to be part of a family and feel loved. We are so appreciative of our foster families who work very hard to give these dogs a second chance at a happy life. Freedom Dog Rescueโ€™s adoption process is fairly extensive because we really want to make sure every dog is going to their forever home, and that they are the perfect fit for our adopters. If any of our dogs ever needed to be returned we will always take them back without hesitation or judgment. For more information on the adoption process, please go to the adoption process page. We are extremely grateful for your endless support in helping Freedom Dog Rescue become who we are today and what we will become in the future. Contact Emails:
