LDR is an all-breed rescue in Thunder Bay dedicated to providing shelter and care to unwanted dogs and sanctuary for senior and un-adoptable dogs otherwise destined for euthanasia. LDR is not a registered charity or non-profit organization, nor is it a business. I'm just a guy with a love for animals doing what I can to help. With the exception of a few in trusted foster homes, all LDR dogs live here in a comfortable, cage-free home environment and are cared for indefinitely until forever homes can be found. LDR is a voluntary operation run from my home with the help of a small group of wonderful animal-loving friends. All expenses are paid for out-of-pocket, and all donations go directly to the animals via food and vet care. The extra love and affection is provided free!

While each of the dogs here are different in age, appearance, color and character, they all have one thing in common - the desire to be part of a loving family. If you think you're ready to open your home and your heart to a rescue dog, grab some treats and come on in!
