Rat Terrier Rescue Canada, Inc.

Rat Terrier Rescue Canada operates a foster-based network across the Greater Toronto Area that rescues abandoned, neglected, and surrendered rat terriers, providing them with medical care, behavioural assessment, and temporary housing until they are matched with permanent adoptive families. The organization works with local shelters and individuals to identify dogs in need, coordinates veterinary treatment and rehabilitation, and conducts thorough screening of potential adopters to ensure appropriate placements. Through its efforts in Scarborough and surrounding regions, the charity addresses the specific needs of this breed, offering breed-specific knowledge and support that general shelters may lack. Rat Terrier Rescue Canada also works to educate the public about responsible pet ownership and the challenges of breed-specific rescue work, helping reduce the number of these dogs entering the shelter system.
