Loved At Home

Origin

“Loved At Home” began with a very special dog named Boo. Boo was a beautiful German Shepherd who came to Precious Paws Rescue after being abandoned at a GTA shelter. She spent over a year in foster care waiting for an adoptive family but then was unfortunately diagnosed with kidney failure. Rather than uprooting her again, Precious Paws made Boo a permanent foster in our Forever In Foster program. She thrived for five wonderful years with her foster family, bringing joy to everyone she met. Boo loved children, often visiting schools in Simcoe County as an ambassador for rescue dogs. She embodied the resilience, loyalty, and love that every dog deserves to share with their family.

When Boo passed, her legacy lived on through Boo’s Fund, which was later renamed Loved At Home in 2019. This name reflects our mission to ensure that pets can remain in the homes where they are deeply loved, even in the face of hardship.

Purpose

Loved At Home was created to support families and communities in times of need, helping to prevent unnecessary surrenders and keeping pets where they belong — at home. Unexpected medical emergencies or financial challenges can leave families facing heartbreaking decisions, from surrendering their pet to a shelter to considering euthanasia. Loved At Home exists to provide compassionate support in these moments.

By helping families care for their pets during difficult times, Loved At Home also reduces the strain on shelters and rescues, allowing more animals to receive the help they need.

Our Pillars

Loved At Home is guided by four key pillars of support:

1. Food & Supplies Assistance
Providing food and essential supplies to families facing financial hardship, ensuring that pets’ basic needs are always met.
2. Emergency Medical Care
Offering assistance with unexpected veterinary expenses when families are unable to cover urgent costs, helping keep pets with the families who love them.

3. Dog Population Management in Northern & Remote Communities
Working in partnership with remote, northern Ontario First Nation communities to develop community-led programs that address overpopulation and improve the health and well-being of dogs and the communities they live in.

4. Remote Veterinary Access
Facilitating access to veterinary care in underserved areas through mobile vaccine and spay/neuter clinics, ensuring that even the most remote communities can receive vital services.
