Paws Rescue

Paws Rescue Providing Animals with Safety for Life (PAWS) is a non-profit animal rescue in Edmonton, AB.

The dogs PAWS rescues are often scheduled for euthanization, and PAWS is their last hope. Volunteers donate their time to help rehabilitate these animals by helping them with basic manners, any behavioral issues, providing them with safety, medical care, and most importantly, love. We strive to place the dogs into loving, compassionate foster homes until we find their perfect forever home.

🩵 A LITTLE REMINDER 🩵

While our puppies often receive lots of attention and many applications (and we love sharing their happy updates!), we also have some amazing adult dogs who have been patiently waiting in our care for far too long.

These dogs are just as loving, loyal, and deserving of a forever family - but have been overlooked simply because they’re not puppies anymore.

If you’re considering adopting, we’d love for you to take a moment to meet our long-timers. 🐾E

🐾 Long-Term Residents Still Waiting for Their Happy Ending 🐾

At Paws for Life Rescue, some of our amazing animals have been waiting far longer than they ever should for their forever homes.

These beautiful souls have so much love to give — they just need someone to take a chance on them. Somehow, they’ve been overlooked… and we just aren’t sure why! 💔

🩵 Avril – 2,953 days in care
🩵 Joey – 1,662 days in care
🩵 Patty – 1,284 days in care
🩵 Eva – 1,194 days in care
🩵 Tilda – 374 days in care

Each of them has their own story, personality, and deserves a home to finally call their very own.

Please help us by sharing this post — the more people who see their faces, the closer they get to finding the homes they’ve been waiting for.

🩵 SEEKING SPECIAL FOSTER 🩵

After some close monitoring, we’ve learned more about Dora’s needs and how to best support her. If you missed our previous post, Dora has nystagmus, a neurological condition that causes involuntary eye movement, which affects her vision, depth perception, and balance. Because of this, she can be quite wobbly and needs some extra help navigating her world safely.

Although she still has a journey ahead, Dora is now looking for someone who can help guide her, ideally a long-term foster or foster-to-adopt home where she can stay for a while, be closely monitored, receive any specialized training she may benefit from, and continue her vet care.

Her ideal home would offer:
🐾 Limited or no stairs
🐾 Open, uncluttered, safe spaces
🐾 Someone with experience and/or comfort caring for special-needs animals
🐾 Patience, predictability, and a gentle pace

This sweet girl deserves a family who understands her unique needs, is patient with her slower pace, and will help her explore life gently and confidently.

If you think you could be Dora’s safe place, please fill out a detailed foster application using the link below:

🩵 Adoption Update: Sasha (formerly Kiki) 🩵

We’re so happy to share that Sasha has found her forever family! She’s loving life on an acreage, getting along great with the resident cat, and has a new baby friend on the way soon!

Congratulations, Sasha and family — she’s going to be a wonderful big sister, and we can’t wait to follow their adventures on Sasha’s very own Instagram page! 🐾🩵
