Saskatoon Dog Rescue
Saskatoon Dog Rescue is dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of abandoned dogs.
Dogs come into our care from a variety of backgrounds, so there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes before becoming available for adoption! Our team of volunteers set up veterinary appointments to ensure our dogs are healthy both physically, mentally, and behaviourally. Once the dog has been deemed healthy, they are placed with a suitable foster family. The foster family provides training and

โจ ๐พ Jaxโs Success Story ๐พ โจ
Jaxโs story with Saskatoon Dog Rescue is one of patience, love, and the joy of finally finding a forever home. Arriving as a small puppy on April 3, 2023, Jax quickly captured the hearts of everyone she met. She spent over a year in foster care, waiting for that perfect family to come along.
During her time with us, Jax's sweet, sassy, and quirky personality shone brightly. Her playful spirit was evident at the dog park, where she loved to run fast and hard, displaying her boundless energy and joy for life. Yet, she was equally content cuddling on the couch, enjoying belly rubs and ear scratches.โฃ๏ธ
As Jax aged, some health issues, which turned out to be allergies, became apparent. With the dedicated care of her fosters, these issues were eventually resolved, allowing her true joyful nature to shine even more. ๐
Despite the long wait, Jax never lost her zest for life. Her foster families provided her with love and stability, ensuring she was ready for her forever home. In July 2024, Jaxโs journey took a beautiful turn when she was adopted by Monique, one of our dedicated volunteers. Monique, who already had another SDR alumni, Rey, welcomed Jax into her heart and home. ๐ ๐
Now, Jax is living her best life filled with outdoor adventures, cozy snuggles, and the companionship of a loving family. Jaxโs story is a reminder of why we do what we do โ giving dogs like her a second chance for a happy tail. ๐ถ ๐ก
We are incredibly grateful to Monique and all our volunteers who make such happy endings possible. ๐
๐ฃ๐ Please share this post to spread the word!โผ๏ธ ๐ฃ๐
*EDIT: This mama and pups have been placed with another rescue, but we still have tons of other pups needing to be placed ๐
This sweet momma (and now her new babies) are stranded without a home after their owner passed away months ago. With nowhere to go, they've been porch surfing in this heat, desperately waiting for a safe place to call home.
Can you imagine how scared and lost they must feel? ๐ฅ We've been trying to place them for a week now, but unfortunately, we've had no luck.
We need your help more than ever. Our rescue is facing an overwhelming number of requests to take in dogs, but we simply don't have enough foster homes to give these pups the care they desperately need. ๐ถ๐
We know life gets busy, and sometimes it feels like there's no time to add another responsibility. But fostering a dog doesn't mean you're alone. We have an incredible network of volunteers ready to support you every step of the way:
๐Transportation: We can help with dog transportation to adoption events and vet visits.
๐Dog-Sitting: If you have plans or need a break, we can arrange dog-sitting.
๐พExtra Walks: If your foster dog needs extra exercise, we have volunteers who can help.
๐โ๐ฆบTraining: We have partnered with amazing dog trainers to help you ensure you and your foster dog have the skills you need to be successful.
Youโll never be left to figure things out on your own. Please, take a moment to think about what it would mean to become a foster. Imagine giving a second chance to these sweet pups by simply opening your home and heart.

Meet our Foster of the Quarter, Debbie Altrogge! ๐ ๐
Debbie has fostered 7 dogs since joining our rescue just over a year ago. We have always noted Debbie's attentive and loving nature toward her fosters - and so has the public. We've had adopters comment on how helpful Debbie is in the adoption process and how thankful they are when she follows up to ensure everyone is settling in well (she has even provided photo albums of the pup's foster journey to the adopters!). ๐
We've also heard comments on how well-behaved and trained her fosters are. At our adoption and fundraising events, Debbie is extremely friendly, approachable, and professional - we hope you get the chance to meet her soon! ๐
We asked Debbie a few questions to get to know her better:
โก๏ธ How long have you been with the SDR?
๐ฌ Iโve been with the SDR since April 2023.
โก๏ธ Do you have any pets/fosters in your home?
๐ฌ I have 3 dogs and 3 cats plus one foster pup right now.
โก๏ธ What do you love about SDR?
๐ฌ SDR is an amazing family: we all love dogs, the board members are VERY supportive in every way and the community is so kind. I enjoy meeting the fosters and volunteers at all the events as much as I enjoy meeting all the pups.
โก๏ธ What is a fun/interesting fact about you?
๐ฌ Iโm on my 3rd career!! 26 years of policing, 4 years as an RMT and now I work in a vet clinic. Never limit yourself โฆ donโt be afraid to try new things!!
Thank you Debbie for all you do and how beautifully you do it! ๐๐

At Saskatoon Dog Rescue, our adoption process is designed to ensure that our furry friends find the best possible match with their new families. If you're looking into adopting a dog, consider our adoptions process:
1๏ธโฃ: View Adoptable Dogs
The first step in your adoption journey is to visit our website and check out the dogs currently available for adoption. Each dog has a dedicated profile with pictures and detailed information about their personality, age, and any special needs they might have. This is your opportunity to find a dog that fits well with your lifestyle and preferences. ๐ถ โจ
2๏ธโฃ: Submit Your Application
Once you've found a dog (or dogs) you're interested in, it's time to submit your application online. ๐ป โ๏ธ
โTIP: Be sure to include the names of any second choice dogs in your application. This increases your chances of finding a match if your first choice is no longer available.
3๏ธโฃ: Be Patient (& Check Your Email)
After submitting your application, patience is key. We aim to contact the first applicant within 3 days. Keep an eye on your email for our response. If the first applicant falls through, we may reach out to you later, so stay hopeful! ๐ง ๐
4๏ธโฃ: Complete a Home Check
If your application is selected, we will send you instructions to complete a virtual home check. This step is crucial to ensure that your home is a safe and suitable environment for the dog you wish to adopt. ๐ก โ
5๏ธโฃ: Schedule a Meet & Greet
Next, itโs time to arrange a meet and greet. We encourage you to bring all family members and any other pets you have to ensure that everyone gets along well. ๐ ๐ช
6๏ธโฃ: Sign Your Adoption Contract
Once everything is in place, and you've decided to move forward with the adoption, you'll need to sign the adoption contract. After the paperwork is done, you can arrange a time to pick up your new furry friend and take them to their forever home! ๐๏ธ ๐พ
We wish you all the best with your journey in searching for a furry friend! Happy adopting! ๐ โฃ๏ธ
