Please help to spread the word for beautiful Max who is desperately looking for a foster home.

If you’re able to foster Max in his time of need, please reach out to our friends Adopt a dog/save a life

Please take a minute to read about Max. He is a 4 year old beautiful German Shepherd who is urgently in need of a foster or forever home.

His family had to leave the country unexpectedly. If losing his family was not bad enough we just learned that Max is heart worm positive. Our rescue will cover all costs associated with his care and vetting.

Max is best in a house with a safely fenced back yard. He is friendly with people and well mannered in the house. He is housetrained and crate trained. . He loves to go for walks and is happiest in a quiet neighborhood.

If you are in the GTA and might be willing to foster or adopt Max please contact us for more information. Please share as this boy as this boy is in desperate needs

We've taken our time introducing Bruno as we prioritized getting a handle on his health, and what a journey it has been.

Bruno came into our rescue back in June, a little guy found running at large who ended up in our local Animal Services on my birthday, of all days, I took that as a special sign he was meant to be a part of the AARF Family. Animal Services reached out to us to ask if we could take Bruno on as he had some concerning medical issues that needed immediate intervention, we of course said absolutely!

Our vet clinic stepped in, performing an emergency cystotomy to relieve a urethral obstruction that could have ruptured his bladder at any moment. Our vet was shocked by the severity of his condition, removing multiple stones and neutering him during surgery, while also treating severe ear infections 🐕🏥

The vet clinic staff adored Bruno and one team member reached out about fostering him. He is such a sweet little guy with personality plus 🥰

Once he received the medical all clear, Bruno joined our foster-to-adopt program in late July with Genevieve and her family. Bruno's affectionate nature and zest for life are contagious. His road to recovery has been long, but today Bruno is thriving and he's settled in beautifully with Genevieve and her family 🏠❤️

His ears are finally healed, his vaccinations are now up to date, and we've made dietary adjustments based on the test results of his bladder stones. We want to ensure Bruno remains medically stable and flourishes on his new diet before moving forward with adoption, a crucial step for our rescue to guarantee his long-term health and well-being.

We extend our deepest gratitude to Genevieve and her family for their selfless dedication to Bruno, and to our donors, whose generosity have made a tangible difference in his life. Our heartfelt thanks also to Adopt a dog/save a life for their vital contribution to Bruno's medical costs, a shining example of the profound impact we can have when we work together ❤️🐕❤️

Happy forever after sweet Bambi ❤️

Bambi came into the rescue an extremely sick puppy who had contracted parvo and spent weeks at our Vet clinic, where she was closely monitored and treated.

Once she was given the all clear and tested negative, she moved into our foster to adopt program. We give so much thanks to our friends at UnderDog Academy through them a foster was found for Bambi 😌❤️

We took things slow with Bambi, not wanting to overwhelm her body with multiple vaccinations, so we split them out which took a few months considering she did not have any core vaccinations before becoming so sick.

Once her vaccinations were done, we gave her body time to build immunity. When a dog has parvo, they are on strict quarantine and cannot be in public places while the virus is shedding. Bambi had a lot of catching up to do socially, and her foster mom, Hayly, did an excellent job working with UnderDog Academy on her social skills and training. After a couple of months, we redid blood work, which came back great, so we moved forward and had Bambi spayed 🐕‍🦺 🏥

After being in the rescue for 10 months, we are overjoyed to announce Bambi has been officially adopted by her foster mom, Hayly 🥳

We give immense thanks and gratitude to Hayly for her unwavering commitment and care to Bambi while being fostered. Bambi has thrived in Hayly’s care.

Hayly we are forever grateful and thrilled that Bambi found her happy forever after with you ❤️🐕‍🦺❤️
