About Us
Friendly Giants Dog Rescue is a non-profit rescue based in Ottawa (Eastern Ontario) and Sarnia (Southern Ontario) that was created by a network of people that became aware of the growing need to provide a safe haven and to find loving adoptive forever homes for dogs in pounds and shelters that would otherwise be euthanized.
These dogs come in many different sizes, ages and breeds, but we tend to work with the larger or giant breeds that are harder to rehome. Some are owner-surrenders, some are seized from horrendous situations, and others come in as strays, often abused and neglected. All our rescues are fully vetted, spayed or neutered and thoroughly assessed in order to find the most suitable adoptive home possible. All our dogs are placed in foster homes as we do not operate a shelter, therefore they receive a lot of one-on-one attention and love to help them get over whatever bad experiences they may have had, to help them gain confidence, and to understand that not all humans are cruel.
All a rescue dog looks for is a warm place to sleep, food in their belly, and a kind loving family to shower them with attention. There is nothing more rewarding than looking a rescue dog in the eyes and seeing how much they appreciate a kind face, warm heart and the unconditional love they give back, no matter what circumstances they came from.
If you are looking for a four-legged friend to add to your family, please consider a rescue dog: you’ll never regret it!!!!
Friendly Giants Dog Rescue would like to keep this site about the dogs that we rescue and their success stories rather than discussing our own accomplishments. Therefore, if you would like to learn more about the personal history and experience of the rescue’s founders, please contact us for more information.
You can now visit our dogs on Petfinder!

*Please spay and neuter your pets*
Shelters and pounds are full and euthanize perfectly adoptable pets weekly due to overpopulation. There are not enough adopters and rescues to take in all of the animals.
