Paws with Heart was started because of a little Beagle that was going to be either  euthanized or sold for research at my local shelter due to a lack of space. I was volunteering at the shelter at the time and I knew I had to do something to save him. A very caring person who worked at the shelter at that time put me in touch with some rescue groups. After speaking with different rescue groups, I learned that there was so much more I could be doing to help these shelter animals and that there were so many different ways in which I could help.

Paws with Heart is a small group of volunteers dedicated to providing public education, veterinary care and forever homes for abused, neglected and or abandoned animals. All  animals that are placed in foster care with Paws with Heart are spayed or neutered and updated on vaccinations..

Some of the pets you will see listed may not be currently in the care of the Paws with Heart  program, but we will direct you to the local pounds, shelters or rescues group that are currently caring for the animals. We feel that by listing these pets, we are helping to give them that second chance at life that they so deserve.

Ontario's Animals for Research Act states specifically that POUNDS and SHELTERS must relinquish animals that have been held for  72 hours if they receive a request from a registered research facility. Many of the dogs and cats that are in rescues or foster homes have been rescued from these pounds and shelters before they have been sold for research or euthanized for lack of space.
 
Owner Surrenders. We realize that occasionally, those who have pets are not able to keep them any longer. The decision to surrender a pet should not be taken lightly. We welcome any questions that you may have regarding this move. If you feel you must give up your pet, please consider letting us list your pet on the Internet. This is a wonderful option if you're willing to keep your pet until it can be adopted. Simply provide us with your contact information, a photograph of your pet, records that show that it is spayed or neutered and current on vaccinations, and your signed certification that the animal has no history of aggression toward people and then we'll list it. We've had excellent success with Internet listings, and while there's no guarantee, many animals find new homes.

Paws with Heart, with help from local vets, pet stores and yourself, will also be listing LOST and FOUND pets in the area. If you have lost a family pet or if you have found one, please email us the information, with a picture if possible, and we will be happy to post it for you.

We are all volunteers and wholly dependent upon donations. We are always in need of volunteers and supplies. Please visit our link "How you can help" if you are interested in becoming involved in animal rescue, or in making a donation to help our efforts.
 

 Paws with Heart is located in Caledon, Ontario.

If you would like to make a donation to help us help the animals, we would be extremely grateful.
