The mission of Cause 4 Paws Toronto is to relieve animal suffering and distress by helping to rescue, rehabilitate, and re-home companion dogs.

By doing this, we reduce the number of stray, injured, abandoned, abused, and neglected animals. We work with local, national and international animal groups and individuals to advocate and provide care for animals that are in distress, suffering abuse, abandoned or homeless.

Most dogs in our program are ones that were rescued from dire situations. Often they are sick or in immediate danger. We work with rescue partners in Greece as well as Russia and Mexico. We also take owner surrendered dogs from Toronto into our program.

We rely solely on volunteers to foster, families to adopt, and supporters to donate funds to care for the animals.  The dogs are provided with foster care until they are ready to be adopted by loving families.

All of the dogs we rescue receive necessary medical care and are spayed or neutered.  We work with the families so that the dogs are trained and rehabilitated so that they can be life long members of their family.   We maintain contact with the family and provide a support system that is always available should a need arise.
