Rescue Organization Questionnaire

For inclusion in the Rescue Listings on the Canada's Guide to Dogs Website

Please complete the following questionnaire to be included in the Rescue Organization Listings on the Canada's Guide to Dogs website. Once completed, click on the submit button to process the form.

Note: The questionnaire is for internal use only and the information received will never be passed on to any individual or organization. It is our goal to provide the opportunity for legitimate, not-for-profit rescue organizations to be included in the listings. However, due to a concern of unintentionally including organizations who are questionable in their rescue practices, we request that Rescue Organizations complete the following questionnaire prior to being included on the website. We do not recommend, endorse or support any one organization over another and we will never knowingly list an organization who runs a puppy mill, backyard style breeding operation, or sells their dogs (or any animal) to brokers, pet stores or retailers of any kind. We reserve the right to refuse any listing/link as well as the right to immediately remove the listing/link of any organization who has already been listed at our sole discretion.

Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us via e-mail at: guidetodogs@rogers.com
