Dire Woofs Dog Rescue

[Catherine]

I just came across another dog rescue that is bringing dogs from death row in a kill shelter to loving homes, this time in the Toronto area.
They use the name Dire Woofs Dog Rescue because these dogs are literally in dire straights, slated for death. Often the kill methods are barbaric, not the gentle euthanasia that we are used to for a dying pet. They just want them dead so how long it takes or how painful it is doesn't matter.
Dire woofs gives them a second chance at life just as time was running out.

This is a link to their web site, but they are going through a site overhaul right now. (I think we can identify with that)

From what I have read, they are a virtual shelter. They are all online and dogs go to foster homes and adoptions are arranged online.

I admire the extreme dedication and effort it takes to arrange all these adoptions.  There are many people involved at both ends.
I think we should acknowledge the extreme good sense of the adopting families that give a dog in need a home when they decide they want a dog.
