Frequently Asked Questions

We are always in need of foster homes for animals who are not yet ready for adoption. If you are interested in fostering an animal, please fill out a foster application on our website. We provide all necessary supplies and medical care for the animal.

We recommend that you spend time with an animal before adopting to make sure they are a good fit for your family. We also offer meet and greets with other family pets to make sure everyone gets along. Our adoption counselors will work with you to find the best match for your family.

There are many ways to donate to our shelter! You can donate online through our website, mail a check to our address, or drop off supplies in person. We are always in need of food, toys, blankets, and other supplies.

Our adoption fees vary, but typically range from $350-$600. You can find our full list and breakdown of fees on our ADOPT page.

Throw Me A Bone rescues dogs in Ontario, pulling from shelters, partnering with Northern communities where vetting is scarce, and working with nearby First Nation communities.

First, you will need to fill out an adoption application. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meeting with you and the animal you are interested in. If the meeting goes well, you can take the animal home with you that day.

All dogs are fully vetted before going to their forever homes. This means they have had all their age appropriate shots and been dewormed and treated for any parasites. All dogs over 6 months of age are spayed or neutered before going home, with puppies under 6 months being adopted on a spay/neuter contract, with $200 returned to owner once the surgery is complete.
