BILLY – Lab Mix / 14kg / 1.5 years /M-Neutered

The best things in life are worth waiting for … just ask Billy.

Kind of heart,
Gentle of soul,
Ready to make
Your family whole.
Patiently waiting,
Faithful and true...
Could Billy's forever
Begin with you?

Billy has been busy making new friends! This weekend he met some new dogs (and their humans), and his foster mom says he did wonderfully. He greeted everyone politely and was excited to play with his new canine buddies, a testament to just how far his confidence has come!

Back at home, Billy continues to be the perfect house guest. He's house trained, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, and is happiest when he's by your side, whether that's out on an adventure or curled up beside you for a cozy evening.

Billy has everything you could hope for in a best friend: kind, gentle, affectionate, and endlessly loyal.

Now all he needs is a family to share that love with.

A bat located in Aylmer, Ontario, has tested positive for rabies. An individual who was exposed to the bat is receiving rabies post-exposure prophylaxis which will prevent them from contracting the virus.

Rabies is a viral disease that is spread through the saliva of animals. It affects an animal’s brain and eventually leads to death. Humans exposed to the virus – usually through a bite or scratch from an infected animal - require treatment to avoid death.

⚠️A positive rabies test result serves as a reminder to all community members that rabies is present in our region, and everyone should know what to do if bitten or scratched by a wild or domestic animal.

Know how to prevent rabies for you and your loved ones:

- Always watch wildlife from a distance
- Avoid touching, petting, or handling unknown animals (including dogs and cats)
- Teach children to stay away from wild animals and strange dogs or cats, and to tell an adult when they have been bitten or scratched by an unknown animal.
- Vaccinate your pets against the rabies virus
- Keep pets indoors at night
- Do not attempt to feed wildlife
- Do not touch or approach sick animals, or animals acting strangely or aggressively
- Be familiar with signs of rabies in your pets and wild animals

Rabies is transmitted through the saliva of infected mammals. Observing a bat does not cause rabies; if you see a bat in your home, avoid handling it and call a local wildlife rescue for support.

Despite what they say, size does matter.

Early tick detection & prompt removal are key to preventing infection.

Paws what you're doing, because this news is absolutely claw-some! 🐾🎉 Drop a 😻 to celebrate!

Huge news for animal welfare in Ontario! The government has finalized a new regulation under the PAWS Act to ban medically unnecessary cosmetic procedures.

The Facts:
🗓️ Effective Date: January 1, 2027.
🐱 For Cats: Total ban on declawing.
🐶 For Dogs: Ban on ear cropping & devocalization.

At Toronto Cat Rescue, our foster network routinely cares for cats left with chronic pain from declawing. This law protects future generations and keeps cats out of the rescue ecosystem.
Violators face strict penalties—up to $75k for individuals and $250k for repeat corporate offences. Thank you to everyone who took part in the public registry consultations!
