Marley

Marley’s Pet Rescue was founded in honour of Marley, a truly special dog whose gentle nature, unwavering loyalty, and loving spirit inspired the mission behind our rescue. In May 2026, Marley crossed the Rainbow Bridge, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, connection, and the reminder of how deeply a dog can touch a person’s life.

Marley showed us the importance of patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement in building trust and creating meaningful bonds with our dogs. His kind heart and the love he shared with those around him continue to guide our commitment to helping dogs in need.

Through Marley’s memory, we strive to provide rescue dogs with the same love, safety, and understanding that every animal deserves. His story lives on in every dog we help, every second chance we provide, and every family we bring together.

Our adoption process

submit an application

At Marley’s Pet Rescue, we often receive multiple applications for each animal. We review applications in the order they are received, so we encourage you to apply early! Our top priority is ensuring the best match for both the animal and the adopter, with a strong focus on the animal’s specific needs.

Screening

submit an application

After reviewing the applications, we move to the screening phase. This involves checking the applicant’s veterinary references, conducting a phone interview with the applicant. Any inquiries about the adoption process can be directed to the Marley’s Pet Rescue team.

MEET & GREET

submit an application

MEET & GREET

Once the application has been submitted, a meet and greet can be arranged, at the foster parent’s discretion. For applicants traveling long distances, we can explore alternative meet and greet options. Keep in mind, we won’t schedule a meet & greet until the application is in, the screening process has started, and the foster parent agrees that it’s a potential match. Since our foster families are volunteers, we want to ensure we’re being respectful of their time by scheduling meet and greets only with serious applicants. Please remember that the meet and greet is part of the interview process and should include all members living in the household.

HOME visit

final steps

Once the application and screening process are completed, and the meet and greet has been successful, we’ll arrange a home visit. In some cases, the home visit may be scheduled before the meet and greet.

final steps

If all steps—application, screening, meet and greet, and home visit—are successfully completed and your family is determined to be the best match for the animal, you will be approved for adoption! At this stage, you will review and sign an adoption contract and submit the adoption fee, which varies depending on the animal.
