volunteer run, dog driven.

Founded with a passion for compassion, we’re more than just a rescue — we’re a family. Based in Kitchener, Ontario, The Dog Rescue Society is a foster-based, volunteer-run organization dedicated to giving every dog the second chance they deserve. United by our love for animals, our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs in need, while creating a supportive community of adopters, fosters, and animal lovers.

Together, we’re changing lives — one wagging tail at a time.
