Carter's Forever Rescue & Sanctuary

Carter's is a non-profit animal rescue dedicated to finding safe, loving homes for all dogs regardless Carter's Rescue is a registered Canadian Charity.

Our registration number is 80997 5394 RR0001. Situated on 10 beautiful acres, nestled in the woods right in the middle of cottage country, we are approximately 15 minutes outside of Bracebridge, Ontario. We are committed to finding loving, forever homes for dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages. Carter was an amazing dog, who happened to be a Pit Bull, and who was brought to us for boarding. With the personal situation Carter’s owner was going through, he just never returned to take him back. Carter lived his life out with us here. Carter’s situation started us on a new venture and passion. Making sure all surrendered dogs, regardless of breed, are in safe, loving and caring homes. Dogs that are hard to place due to breed or age will always have a retirement home with us to allow them to live out their lives happy, properly treated and cared for. We are a non-profit organization which relies solely on public donations and volunteers. We will NOT adopt into a home with unaltered pets (dogs/cats). We require an adoption application filled out and then an appointment made to see our dogs. "Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog the world will forever change."

Kevin💚

Almost 3 years old and approximately 40 lbs of pure goofiness! 🤪

Kevin is a fun-loving boy with plenty of personality and so much love to give. He knows his manners, but like any cheeky guy, he needs a family who will continue to reinforce them and keep him on track!

Kevin would thrive with an active person or family who can keep him busy and give him the exercise he needs. And when he’s not out having fun, he’s more than happy to roll over for some belly rubs! ❤️

Kevin would do best as the only dog in the home, with no cats. Older children would be just fine!

This goofy guy is ready to find his people and finally have a home to call his own. Could that be you? 🥹

Albus has captured my heart♥️ Adorable 🥰

The reason Albus has captured my heart is because he defies all odds. Albus has a curvature of his spine. A deformation of his front legs that allows him to take a few steps, then take a well deserved rest. His shoulders are not formed normally, but if he chooses to run he can put forth a jog that is unbelievable. There are structural changes in his neck that only allow him to raise his head a few inches But, you look this amazing dog in the eyes and he’s got you. Albus has so much will to live, he can do nothing else but capture your heart ♥️

We have been going through our veterinary bills, and despite our best efforts, we are still in need of assistance.

The cost of providing ongoing care for the dogs in our rescue continues to mount. We currently have two dogs in our care who require eye enucleation surgery, along with the associated medical expenses and recovery care.

In addition, the ongoing costs of medications for our medical and senior dogs add another significant financial costs. These are dogs who rely on us every single day to manage their conditions, remain comfortable, and enjoy the quality of life they deserve.

We never want finances to stand in the way of providing the care these dogs desperately need.

Every donation, no matter how small, helps us continue to provide essential veterinary treatment, medications, and ongoing support for the dogs who depend on us.

If you are unable to donate, sharing our post is another wonderful way to help.

From all of us, and especially the dogs, thank you for continuing to stand behind our rescue. ❤️
