Gracie pictured below is a Rotti Shar Pei mix, who was fostered and adopted out by LOYAL. She has made an amazing transformation and is now in a loving home that has nurtured her and left her autoimmune disease Pemphigus almost invisible! Buster Honeybear was recently adopted from LOYAL. In early summer LOYAL Received an urgent call of a chained dog that ownere no longer wanted him. His before and afters are.. incredible!!! THis is the same dog, the sun had bleached and dried out his coat.
After...
This is why we do what we do, and we won't stop helping!!!
Get ready to do your happy dance - today is YOUR lucky day because I AM AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
Okay. So I know that getting adopted is a pretty competitive process these days….I mean, look at all of the cute and adorable rescue pooches out there! Of course, we’re all deserving of wonderful homes….so here is my resume below for your consideration. Oh ya! Don’t forget to check out the video and the link with additional photos of “yours truly” at the end of my bio!
Name: FOX
Favourite Song: Who let the Dogs out!
Favourite Quote: Don’t worry be happy!
Objective in Life: To chase, or to be chased! It gives me such joy to do either J
If I were a Human I would be: A Surgeon! I can strategically rip the stuffing out of any toy. Just give me 5 minutes!
Previous Family Experience
I lived in a home my entire life until my owner surrendered me for reasons I still do not understand.
I am well-behaved, I am crate-trained, I do my business outside…..I’m obviously very cute……what more can a dog do to get a family these days?!?!

My References!
“Fox is really an amazing catch– he has the perfect balance of playfulness and cuddling and gets along great with all of the dogs he has met so far (big, small, male or female). You say “play” and he says “bring it on!” especially for a good ol’ game of chase! When he first arrived he had the urge to mark but quickly got the picture that this was not polite. While he is certainly not a high energy dog, he does love his walks – a good 20-30 minutes a day is perfect for this handsome lad!” – Foster Mom
“As Fox’s foster sister I remind him every day that I am the boss –and he is okay with that. I eat first, we play on my terms and I go out the door first (as I should since ladies go first!)” –Foster Sister
“As Fox’s foster brother, I just can’t get enough of the little guy. We play several times throughout the day and at night, we share a crate where we spoon all night long! Whoever said that grown male dogs don’t spoon is crazy because WE love it!” - Foster Brother
So…enough about me already! It’s your turn!
Fill out an adoption application and tell me a little more the family you want to make me a part of.

Ariel came to us a few weeks ago from Kentucky. She was on her last day to live when pulled and is an absolute joy to have in rescue!! She was adopted out quickly however the new forever homes circumstances change shortly after adoption and Ariel has now been returned to us.
When Ariel arrived, she was literally crawling with ticks, some of them larger than the size of an eraser on a pencil. The foster mom and dad spent the evening pulling each and everyone of them off of her and she sat patiently for this to be done.
She was treated with Revolution twice since, and this week, the day after she was returned, we had her in for a Lyme test (the new adopters were to bring her in as we had this all scheduled prior to adoption). Thankfully it was negative but our vet found a rather large lump on her belly and called me to suggest they do a biopsy as he's concerned it's a mammory tumour. The quote is between $450-$750 and he feels it should be done quickly.
In addition, LOYAL Rescue currently has 29 puppy mill dogs to vet as well, and many of them need dental unfortunately. One in particular was at the specialists this past Monday and the quote is between $1750-$2200 for his dental. He will still need to be neutered over and above that.
I know everyone is strapped right now. Pay checks keep going down but it seems all expenses (including vetting) just keeps going up!
I've started a ChipIn for Ariel to see if we can raise even a few dollars towards her care. Anything donated would be gratefully appreciated. This special girl deserves everything we can give her, and then some. SHe's had it rough so far but we made her a promise that her previous life was over and that she would not ever lack for anything again. We now need your help please, to keep Ariel healthy.
Thanks in advance for anything you can do and please, feel free to cross-post to any and all.
WE NEED YOUR DONATIONS! Loyal has taken in many disabled and special needs dogs and the vetting costs are superexceeding the adoption donation fees. We would appreciate donations of any size!!

1. Loyal is one of the largest private provincial foster based rescue in Ontario!
2. Our volunteers and foster homes span from Ohio, Michigan, New York and from Sarnia to Ottawa.
3. LOYAL is two years old and we have helped give hope and new homes to 400 dogs
4. LOYAL's president works full time in investments.
5. LOYAL has helped rescue dogs as far south as Georgia and Alabama all the way up to North of Toronto! A dog in need, is a dog in need.
6. We receive applications for our dogs from all over - I did one in NS and one from MI - but we don't ship dogs!!
7. Our dogs are helped by 20 volunteers or more - that all do one hour legs (usually around 10 or more transport legs) that are involved with any given dog from the time it leaves death row at a pound until it arrives into foster care and is adopted out. It's a big investment of time, money and gas, just to get a dog from a rural high kill shelter, into foster and the into a great home!
8. The average adoption donation is $350 but the cost of vetting usually exceeds the adoption fee by a couple hundred dollars, sometimes thousands more then adopters realize!
9. Our foster homes are amazing, they treat the dogs like their very own, and teach dogs how to trust again, especially those coming from puppy mills. Some of our dogs from puppy mills have never walked on solid ground (only rabbit cages) and have never walked on stairs. Our foster homes are patient, compassionate and caring people! That's what we look for in adopters.
10. Our organization is constantly growing - new volunteers, new foster homes, new events... there is no limit to what we wouldn't do to help animals!
Who says Chihuahua's don't like vegetables!? Paco sure does! Here he is at his foster home, chowing down on some carrots and celery!
Paco is a funny little, I mean big, guy who has lots of personality and will keep you laughing.
He has dry eye issues, so his right eye always looks like he's squinty, winking at you or giving you the stink eye! But do not be fooled. He loves to cuddle, and communicate. He's a real charmer!
Paco is currently looking for a home to call his, very, very own!
LOYAL Rescue is a private rescue based out of foster homes. We focus on rescuing dogs in need small breed as well as large breed dogs. We specialize in helping puppy mill victims get healthy and find a home.
