Backstreet Paws Rescue
WELCOME TO BACKSTREET PAWS
At Backstreet Paws Rescue, we are dedicated to giving vulnerable and at-risk dogs a second chance at a safe, loving life. Based in Ontario and powered entirely by passionate volunteers, we rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs from a wide range of situations, from local surrenders and shelters to international street dog.
Since our founding, we've helped many dogs find their happily ever after homes. Our mission is simple: to advocate for the voiceless, provide compassionate care, and match every dog with the family they deserve.
Through committed fosters, responsible adopters and a community that believes in rescue, we continue to change lives every day. Whether you're here to adopt, foster, volunteer, or support our work, thank you for being part of the Backstreet Paws Family.
Together, we rewrite stories, one dog at a time.
You can't change a dog's past but you can help rewrite their future!

Congratulations Olivia and Arthur, and thank you for opening your hearts and your home to this sweet Tookie. Wishing you a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories together.
Some stories stay with you forever… and Gloria and her babies are one of them.
Found on a remote Manitoba reserve, Gloria had tucked her puppies under a shed, hiding them away to keep them safe from the cold and the dangers around them. A devoted mama, protecting her babies the only way she knew how.
Because of kindness, teamwork, and rescue coming together, Gloria and every single one of her pups were brought to safety. One by one, they found their families. Today we celebrate Tookie’s adoption day, the final puppy from that litter to head home. From a hidden spot under a shed to a life filled with love, this photo captures a miracle made possible by compassion.

Today we’re celebrating Pinto, who has officially been adopted and absolutely adored in his forever home. He fits right in with his two canine siblings looking just like them, only smaller and completes the pack perfectly.
Seeing Pinto settled, loved, and heading off on a lifetime of adventures with his family is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you to his amazing family for choosing adoption and for giving Pinto the wonderful home he deserves.
Here’s to a future full of pack walks, cuddles, and happy memories. Happy Trails Pinto.

This beautiful girl, who happens to be deaf, has touched so many hearts with her gentle spirit and quiet resilience. She came to us needing love, patience, and understanding and she has now found a family who sees her for the incredible dog she is.
We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you who applied to adopt her. The outpouring of interest, love, and support for Adele was overwhelming in the best way. Knowing so many people were willing to open their hearts to a special-needs pup truly means the world.
Adele’s new family instantly connected with her sweet nature and are committed to giving her the safe, loving life she’s always deserved. She’s finally home.
Thank you again for being part of her journey

Remember Chevy and Sierra, the sweet duo found dumped on the side of a country road here in Ontario? Well… look at them now.
These two are officially living their best life with their amazing adopters, spoiled, loved, and finally safe and the best part? They’ve just graduated from training school!
From being abandoned to thriving as confident, happy pups… this is what rescue is all about.
Congratulations Chevy & Sierra and thank you to their wonderful family Melissa and Krystle for giving them the life they always deserved.
