Local Dog Rescue is a volunteer-run all-breed rescue in Thunder Bay. For almost twenty years LDR has been dedicated to providing shelter and care to unwanted dogs and sanctuary for senior and non-adoptable dogs. Most of them are medium to large breeds that were either stray, abandoned, surrendered, scheduled to be put down or saved from abusive or neglectful homes. Some are the more difficult dogs; the ones others won't take and have deemed "out of control". With the exception of a few in trusted foster homes, they all live here in a comfortable, cage-free home environment and are cared for indefinitely until permanent homes can be found. As an advocate for responsible pet ownership, every dog is spayed or neutered before being adopted to loving smoke-free indoor homes.

LDR is not a registered charity or non-profit organization. I'm just a guy with a love for animals doing what I can to help as many as I can. There is no funding, no paycheques, no overhead.... just a small group of people and many wonderful supporters, all with a passion for helping animals in need.

While every dog at LDR may be different in age, appearance and character, they all have one thing in common - the desire to be part of a loving family they can call their own! If you're ready to meet the dogs, grab some treats and come on in...

Meet the Dogs!

Current fundraisers...

I am still working on the site...

.... so please bare with me. The LDR site has been down for a long, long time and things have been crazy busy around here. I currently have 21 dogs in my home (yes, 21) which doesn't leave me much time for things like... working on websites. That said, you're going to notice the site is far from complete but will be getting closer to completion over the next week or so. The wonderful dogs here at LDR are as eager to meet you as you are to meet them so please stay tuned. Now, I'm off to bed, its been a long day...
