4 Love of Canines, is a no-kill, all breed dog rescue and dog adoption agency that provides quality foster care to rescued and owner surrendered pets until they are matched with loving pre-screened adopters and placed into suitable, permanent new homes. We are a humane not for profit organization that is run by volunteers and is funded solely by donations.

With over 20 years of dog related experience, our volunteers and associates dedicate themselves to promoting the happiness and security of companion animals by educating pet owners in regards to breed specifics, health, obedience and general canine care. Our goal is to have pet owners understand that making the decision to own a dog requires them to make a lifetime commitment to the pet.

Our Mission is to cater to the best interests of canine companions, while maintaining the highest quality of service to both pet owners and adopters.

While our primary concern is for canine companions we do attempt to aid any companion animal in need.

Whether you are looking to find that perfect new home for your pet or you are looking for that perfect pet for your home...4 Love of Canines would like to offer you friendly and understanding assistance, experienced advice and compassionate results for all your canine concerns.

If you would like to experience the joy of having a companion animal in your home but are unable to make a lifetime commitment to a pet, or perhaps you are a first time pet owner and would like some experience in pet ownership, fostering may be the answer for you.

4 Love of Canines does not have a shelter and instead places all of the animals in our care into temporary homes while we search for their perfect forever home. The number of animals we can rescue is directly determined by the number of foster homes available. When you foster a pet you are opening your heart and your home to an animal in need, and in some instances yours may be the first real home a pet has ever known.

Most of the dogs that need foster care are medium to large dogs and may require temporary housing from a few days, to a few months depending on their individual needs and issues.

If you have the love, dedication, and time to take on the rewarding challenge of fostering a homeless pet please go to our "How You Can Help" page for information on becoming a foster parent.

Foster applications are also being gratefully accepted for cats in the Hamilton area.

We have had such a tremendous out pouring of emails and thank you letters from the community, which we are very grateful for, but it takes your support as well, to actually help us save lives.

4 Love of Canines is totally funded by the donations from caring people who believe in what we are doing, and who want to help make a difference in a companion animals life.

• 100% of all donations go toward the rescue, medical care, and maintenance of the homeless animals in our care.

• By sponsoring a dog you can literally save its life.

• Your donation can help provide the means to reduce the over population of pets by prepaying for needed spays and neuters.

• No amount is too little as even a $2.00 box of dog treats used for training, can help us turn an otherwise unadoptable dog into a trained and respected canine companion.
