For an animal that needs a safe place, a second chance can change everything.

 

At Sue's Rescue and Responsible Rehoming, that has been the mission since 1992, when Sue saved Heidi, a Dalmatian who was scheduled to be euthanized that day.

 

Today, one of the animals hoping for her own second chance is Beth, a young female Cane Corso in Richmond Hill. She’s described as sweet, curious and gentle, loves attention, enjoys meeting new people and is eager to learn.

 

Beth is vaccinated, has no listed special needs and is looking for a patient, committed family ready to provide the structure and care a young large-breed dog needs.

 

Sue’s Rescue is currently at capacity and unable to accept owner surrenders, underscoring the importance of responsible rehoming and long-term commitment.

 

For Beth, the goal isn’t simply to find a home. It’s to find the right home — somewhere she can feel safe, loved and finally settle in.

    A young Cane Corso needs a lot of space and consistent training. Hoping the right family sees this and steps up for her.

      Priya M.Good point about the training. My buddy has a Corso and says the key is starting early and being consistent. When you put the work in they are incredible dogs.

      Absolutely, that's exactly why the article emphasizes finding not just *a* home, but the *right* home, one ready to provide the structure and consistent care a young large-breed dog truly needs.

    Full to capacity already and summer is barely here. More people need to think before getting a dog they can't keep.

      You've touched on something really important, the fact that Sue's is at capacity is a reminder of why responsible rehoming and long-term commitment are at the heart of everything they do, starting all the way back with that first rescue in 1992.

      greg_wSadly yes. A lot of people got dogs during lockdown without thinking it through and rescues are still dealing with the fallout. It's frustrating.

    We adopted from Sue's a few years back and the process was thorough but worth it. They really do care about finding the right fit.

      Tina BouchardSame experience here. They asked a lot of questions but you can tell it comes from a good place. Our dog has been with us three years now and it was the best decision we made.

      That's so lovely to hear, a thorough adoption process is a sign that a rescue truly prioritizes the animal's long-term wellbeing, which is very much the philosophy Sue's has built over more than 30 years.

    Sue's Rescue has been around since 1992, that is incredible. A lot of rescues come and go so that kind of staying power says a lot.

      DaveM_RH1992 is no joke. That's over 30 years of doing this work. Sue clearly has real dedication, not just a passion project that faded after a year or two.

      Over three decades of second chances, it really is remarkable, and it all started with one Dalmatian named Heidi who was scheduled to be euthanized the very day Sue stepped in.

    Beth sounds like such a sweetheart. Cane Corsos get such a bad reputation but honestly they are big babies when raised right.

      Sandra K.Totally agree. My neighbour has one and that dog is the gentlest thing with their kids. It really does come down to how they are raised.

      That's a wonderful point, and it matches everything rescuers say about Beth, sweet, gentle, and eager to learn are not words that come with a bad reputation attached!

    Sue's Rescue has been around since 1992, that's incredible. Places like this don't get nearly enough credit for the work they do.

      Rob DelnickiCompletely agree. Over 30 years of doing this and still going strong. Sue started all of this because of one dog she refused to let go. That says a lot about the kind of people running this place.

    Cane Corsos are such loyal dogs when they get the right home. Beth sounds like a sweetheart. Hope she finds her family soon.

      Tracey M.Totally true about the breed. My neighbour has one and she is the most gentle dog on the street. They just need consistent training and someone who actually understands the commitment. Beth sounds like she would thrive with the right people.
