Puppies get adopted fast, so this page changes often. It pulls the puppies and young dogs currently adoptable in London from Humane Society London & Middlesex and ARF Ontario into one place, refreshed regularly. If you do not see one today, check back, as rescue puppies cycle through quickly.
Before you commit to a puppy, go in clear-eyed: the baby stage means house-training, broken sleep, chewing, and a string of early vet visits, and it is far more work than a calm adult. If your schedule is packed, an adult dog is often the easier, kinder choice. If you do have the time, a puppy is a wonderful blank slate. Either way, you apply through the rescue.

Puppies in London: common questions
How much are rescue puppies in London?
Rescue puppy adoption fees in London typically run about $400 to $700, usually including the first vaccines, deworming, a microchip, and a spay or neuter (or a contract to do it once old enough). That is a fraction of a breeder price, and the fee goes back into the rescue's care. Apply through Humane Society London & Middlesex and ARF Ontario directly.
Is it better to adopt a puppy or an adult dog?
For most homes an adult is easier: house-trained, past the chewing-and-night-waking stage, with a known temperament you can see before adopting. Puppies are wonderful but a big commitment of time and patience for the first year. Choose a puppy only if you genuinely have the schedule for the baby stage; otherwise a calm adult is the smarter, lower-stress choice.
How do I adopt one of these dogs in London?
Find a dog you like here, then apply directly through the rescue that has it (Humane Society London & Middlesex and ARF Ontario). LocalPetFinder is a listings aggregator, not a shelter: we pull adoptable dogs from London-area rescues into one place and refresh them regularly, but the application, meet-and-greet, and adoption all happen through the rescue. Listings reflect what is genuinely available, though a dog can be adopted between refreshes.
