Koca Dog Rescue

Koca Dog Rescue operates a foster-based network that removes dogs from shelters and high-kill facilities, placing them in temporary homes throughout North York and the GTA while finding permanent adoptive families. The organization focuses on dogs that would otherwise face euthanasia, including those with behavioral challenges or medical needs that require time and resources to rehabilitate. Volunteers provide safe housing, medical care, training, and socialization during the foster period. By moving dogs into residential homes rather than keeping them in kennels, Koca creates space in overcrowded shelters and gives each animal the stability needed to develop trust and show their true personality. The rescue matches dogs with adopters through a careful vetting process, ensuring lasting placements. Koca also provides post-adoption support to help families navigate the transition and address any behavioral issues that arise.
