Papillon
Canada Rescue 
Welcome to the Papillon Canada Rescue Web Page

Papillon Canada Rescue is a committee of Papillon Canada formed to facilitate the rescue of papillons who find themselves in need of help. We find loving, supportive, adoptive homes for papillons who are lost, abandonned, neglected, mistreated, or who have owners no longer able to care for them for any reason.
Papillons have been breeding true for hundreds of years and until recently have been one of the best kept secrets in the toy dog world. They are named for their beautiful large butterfly (or moth like in the case of the phalene) ears. This is an elegant, dainty breed bred simply to be with people. They have loving and playful temperaments and make excellent, faithful, and lively companions. For more information on Papillons, please refer to the Papillon Canada Web Site through the link below.
Each papillon deserves an understanding and caring home. A concerned group of Papillon lovers in the Spring of 1999 formed a national rescue committee. We have representatives right across Canada. We still need more volunteers interested in providing help and support in many ways. We need foster homes, adoptive homes, financial assistance, moral support and a network that will bring to our attention animals in need of help.

This is seven year old Toby. He recently found a new home in Alberta. He and his new family are enjoying sharing love, friendship and appreciation for each other.
