City of Toronto Animal Services is the municipal animal-control agency, operating four regional facilities (North, East, South, and West) that handle strays, owner surrenders, and impounded animals across the entire city. Adopters can visit any of the four facilities, and adoption fees include the first year of the Toronto dog licence.

Save Our Scruff is a Toronto-based foster rescue placing dogs into homes across the GTA. Their listings carry an unusually rich first-line summary covering gender, age, weight, energy, foster city, and compatibility with kids, cats, and other dogs. Every dog lives with a vetted foster before placement, so the temperament notes are based on weeks of real household behaviour.

Full Circle Rescue is a foster-based dog rescue operating across Ontario, with fosters in Durham, the GTA, and Eastern Ontario. Per-pet profiles carry a rich taxonomy block — age, weight range, breed, colour, personality tags, and explicit compatibility lines for kids, dogs, cats, small animals, and livestock — making it easy to know upfront what kind of home a dog needs.
