Hobo Haven is a not for profit dog rescue dedicated to assisting homeless dogs in our community, primarily assisting with owner surrenders and shelters/pounds with dogs in need. Hobo Haven Rescue, located in St Jacobs ON was founded in 2003, and is dedicated to our mission of “no dog left behind”
Hobo Haven Rescue was inspired by an abandoned dog who was witnessed as dumped in our area and brough
t to us to help, whom we nicknamed Hobo. Due to a lack of foster homes, Hobo was surrendered to a local shelter who proceeded to euthanize him 3 days later due to a simple ear infection. Hobo Haven vowed to work hard to assist helpless, unclaimed strays and dogs in need of medical care, to recover and find amazing new forever homes after providing all of their required vetting and TLC. Hobo Haven Rescue is a group of dedicated volunteers devoted to assisting homeless dogs to help them find new forever homes within Ontario Canada. We do not import pets, we focus on our local communities within to provide support to dog owners needing to surrender their dogs and to rural pounds and shelters needing assistance for unclaimed strays or dogs who would thrive best in a foster home environment. We also accept retired breeding dogs from commercial kennels into our program, to provide them with all of the medical care, rehab and TLC they require to help them learn how to live their new lives as beloved, cherished family members before finding their forever homes. We are not a shelter or kennel, we are entirely foster home based, offering each dog in our care as much love and TLC as we do our own, provided by carefully screened foster families who are equally passionate about making a difference in the lives of dogs in need. Please consider fostering, transporting, volunteering, adopting or fundraising to help us help more. IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Our amazing team of volunteers are small but mighty, and genuinely committed to helping our animals by providing a safe haven where their new lives may begin again, after we provide each dog with necessary veterinary care, rehab and training. It is seeing the difference we make for every precious soul entrusted to our care, one by one, that fuels that passion.
