About Pawsitively Furever
Pawsitively Furever is a non-profit rescue that is foster-based, located in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. We work with local owners & international rescue partners to help RESCUE, REHABILITATE AND REHOME dogs in need to their FUREVER families. Pawsitively Furever (PF) started by helping dogs locally find suitable homes when their owners could no longer care for them! 17 dogs found their furever homes & families in 2023. In 2024, Pawsitively Furever partnered with Slice of Paradise PR Rescue, to rescue, rehabilitate & bring dogs to Canada to find their Furever home from Puerto Rico.
​
It is estimated that there are over 600,000 homeless and stray dogs on the streets & beaches in Puerto Rico, and unfortunately there are no government programs for mass sterilization, pet registration and very little education on animal welfare in schools.
​
In 2024 we also partnered with an independent rescuer that works on placing dogs from Texas. As of August 2024, it is estimated that Texas has over 1 MILLION stray dogs & cats. Every three seconds a dog or cat is euthanized in a Texas Shelter. We also hooked up with Flights of Hope and began to help rescue dogs from Northern communities! The dog-crisis is wide spread and we believe that if we have the ability to help, regardless of where they are from, we will!
​
We finished off 2024 rescuing 108 Dogs, whelping 6 litters of puppies & finding Furever homes for over 80 dogs!
A Message from our Executive Director & Founder
This rescue started as a "Passion Project" and has quite literally transformed into this amazing network of incredibly enthusiastic volunteers, who all share the goal of changing the lives of all the dogs we can. I never imagined my little rehoming group would turn into this beautiful organization. Every day I am blessed for all the connection that we get to make and the dog's lives we have the priviledge of saving, touching and changing for the better.
​
I want to thank all our followers, fosters and supporters. IT TRULY TAKES A VILLAGE! From working on the logistics of getting the dogs to fosters, organizing donation, working tirelessly to find potential adopters and screen them and plan events to raise money and awareness for rescues. Without the support of volunteers and the donations from the public, we would not be able to do what we do!
​
I would also like to thank our rescue partners from Puerto Rico, Texas and the Northern communities for the tireless work they do! They are quite literally the boots on the ground in some pretty awful cases and they continue to push through and help as many dogs as they can! I am absolutely astonished at what we were able to accomplish in 2024 and eager to see what 2025 will bring!
​
So THANK YOU!
