General

What is Eddy's Nomads Dog Rescue?

Eddy's Nomads Dog Rescue is a foster-based rescue inspired by our senior rescue pup, Eddy. Our mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and thoughtfully place dogs while building a compassionate community that believes every dog deserves a second chance.

Where are you located?

We are based in Sarnia, Ontario, but our foster homes and rescue efforts extend across Southwestern Ontario.

Do you have a shelter I can visit?

No. We are a foster-based rescue, which means all of our dogs live in volunteer foster homes where they receive love, care, and socialization until they find their forever families.


Adoption

Where can I see your adoptable dogs?

Our available dogs can be viewed on Petfinder.ca, where you'll find photos, biographies, and information about each dog's personality, needs, and adoption requirements.

If you see a dog you'd like to learn more about, simply complete an adoption application through our website. Our team will review your application and contact you if it appears to be a good match.

Because we are a foster-based rescue, some dogs may not be publicly listed immediately while they settle into foster care and complete their assessment.





Why isn't every dog listed on Petfinder?

Some dogs need time to decompress and settle into their foster homes before becoming available for adoption. During this period, we assess their personality, behaviour, medical needs, and ideal home so we can make the best possible match.

We encourage you to check our Petfinder page regularly, as new dogs become available throughout the year.

How do I adopt a dog?

Complete our online adoption application. Once received, our team will review your application, contact your references, and arrange a meet-and-greet if it's a good match.

How do you decide who adopts a dog?

We don't believe in "first come, first served." We focus on finding the best match for each dog's personality, needs, and lifestyle to create successful, lifelong adoptions.

Can I meet a dog before adopting?

Absolutely! Once your application has been approved, we'll arrange a meet-and-greet with the dog and foster family.

What is the adoption fee?

Our adoption fee is $600 per dog.

Are your dogs vaccinated and spayed/neutered?

Every dog receives age-appropriate veterinary care before adoption, including vaccinations, parasite prevention, and spay/neuter when medically appropriate.

Do you know if a dog is good with children, cats, or other dogs?

Our foster homes help us learn each dog's personality and behaviour. We share everything we know to help make the best possible match.


Fostering

Why should I foster?

Fostering saves lives. Every foster home creates space for another dog in need and gives that dog the chance to decompress, learn, and prepare for adoption.

What does Eddy's Nomads provide?

We provide veterinary care, support, guidance, and ongoing communication. Depending on the foster arrangement, we can also provide food, supplies, crates, and other essentials.
