About Us
Our Mission
TEAM Dog Rescue is a grassroots, foster-based, Canadian registered charity run exclusively by volunteers and dedicated to helping all breeds of homeless dogs in our local community find their forever homes.
Our focus is to rescue local dogs from high-kill and under-resourced shelters across Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba, and dogs in low-resource northern communities.
Our Vision
From a shared vision of caring and concern for all, TEAM emerged in 2012 in response to a growing need for support from local shelters. Since our inception, over 2000 abandoned, medical, senior and abused dogs have been welcomed into our rescue and are now thriving in loving, forever homes.
Our Focus
From the very beginning, our focus has been to deliver:
- Education and outreach in our community
- Emergency medical services for dogs in crisis
- Safe havens for abandoned, medical, senior and abused dogs in need
- Strong adoption programs to ensure that each dog in our rescue transitions to a safe, loving home

A huge dog lover, he is no stranger to our rescue organization and has hit the links in our previous golf tournaments. Come support our dog rescue by teeing off at the gorgeous Woodington Lake Golf Club, home to the Ontario Open, on June 17, 2024. The afternoon promises to be full of fun as we have lots in store
