{NEW ARRIVALS}
On March 10, 2012, LOYAL took in 14 dogs from various breeding facilities across Missouri. These precious souls made the long trek to Canada thanks to the dedication, hard work and generosity of numerous volunteers, and are now with their foster families - the first families they have ever known! LOYAL currently has over 70 dogs in foster care. Please consider
donating to our worthy cause, as 100% of our donation goes directly to vetting and caring for the dogs in our foster program. Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.
The following dogs arrived into rescue since the last Round-up:
Buster is a 5-month-old, male Yorkie. He came to us from a Kentucky shelter, and he is being fostered in Mississauga.
Due to a high number of applications received, we are no longer accepting additional applications for Buster at this time. Thanks for your interest!
Heidi is a 4-year-old, female Schnauzer who came to us as a breeder release from Missouri. She is being fostered in Pickering.

All of the above dogs, as well as every dog on our website, are up-to-date on their shots, heart worm tested and, in the case of adult and senior dogs, spayed and neutered unless a medical reason prevents it. Puppies may or may not be spayed/neutered depending on age. Applications can be submitted through our website. Please be sure to note the dog's name and unique number (e.g., 1167) after their name on your application to avoid any delays.

We can do what we do because of the wonderful volunteers - phone interviewers, home visitors, foster homes, transporters, event organizers, etc. - that work within our organization. If you are interested in learning more about how you can get involved with LOYAL, or are interested in becoming a foster parent to a special rescued dog, please contact us. The more help we have, the more dogs we can save! You may not be paid for your work, but you will be rewarded in kind with sloppy dog kisses and warm cuddles. Priceless!
