Here at F.A.B.R , we know that sometimes all it takes to change society's perception is a little education, knowledge and support. Since our founding in 2020, we have been determined to make an impact for the canines struggling due to aggression, mental health, behavior issues or for their breed. 
Meet the inspiration for starting this. Jax  the man! Jax came into our lives October 2020 and from the moment our eyes met, we knew we were in love. And that's when the #fightagainstbreedracism journey really began.

Jax has the power to show the world how loyal, loving, sweet, funny and family oriented his breed is. How the most misunderstood dog breed, truly has a heart and soul. We look at him and see his power to heal people, because he's healed us. His power to make a significant change in the dog community. And not just in our community but all communities.

"Jax's New Leash on Life, For the Underdogs"  isn't just a slogan or a campaign to us. It's our life's mission. Our gift to Jax, for coming into our lives and changing everything in our lives. Giving the underdogs of the world a chance to heal and be accepted for who they are.

If all human lives matter, then all dog lives matter. You may say well, human lives are far more important.  And to be honest someone who says that, isn't a dog person. Or have felt the loyalty and unconditional love a dog brings. But my fellow dog people, we know you understand and we know you see how important all dogs are and all  breeds need to be protected. Not matter size, body type, color or stigma out there. Dogs came to us in hopes of partnership. As companions and as protectors. Isn't it fair we do the same for them? Isn't it our duty after centuries and decades of loyalty we give something back to them?!

We say, it's far over due. With Jax by our side, helping us save, socialize, rehabilitate and heal  his fellow comrades, we know we can make a significant change and difference in the lives of these feared, mistreated and misunderstood dogs.

Strong and powerful breeds are some of the most misunderstood, feared and mistreated breeds in North America. As well as dominant and so called aggressive breeds. Thousands in our very own home of Ontario alone are euthanized,  seized, dumped and surrendered. And at FABR we want to change that starting today,  with you!

We strive to help our power breed types, bully types, large and extra large dogs, the ones shelters and some rescues would dare take in. Our Sanctuary is about, rehabilitation, healing, caring for them and helping the adoptable ones, find their forever homes. And we do home here at the sanctuary, the ones we feel humans will fail or put in danger due to some of their behaviors. Every dog deserves a chance at life. Despite having a rough past, trauma or even a bite record. A chance to be loved and for some, have a family outside the sanctuary. Here at FABR we make that happen.

Within our sanctuary, our fosters, our volunteers and our community,  help us in providing dogs with a safe place to be. A place for them to be the best they can be without judgment.

Once we take in a dog into our Sanctuary, our team starts assessments and building a management plan on what the dog needs are base on the dog's behaviors, personality and history (if we are giving any info of course). From there our team works with each dog individually to help them become ready to find their forever homes.  We work hard to ensure our dogs have all the fundamentals needed in life and behavior wise to be successful in their new homes. With daily exercise, management, socialization and lots of play time. 
Through all of our endeavors we hope to display the conviction behind our beliefs.

Help us make a difference. Adopt, foster, advocate or donate. Or join our education and rehabilitation program with your canine. Every dog life matters, regardless of breed. Be their voice and stand up for these misunderstood canines!

 

Our Canine rehabilitation and therapy program is our extended mission for the underdogs. We know many dog owners give up on their dogs due to not having the experience and knowledge needed to get through behavioral issues and aggression. Our programs are designed specifically for you and your canine. Unlike many other canine rehabilitation programs, we don't believe in cookie cutter molds for our programs. We know just like each person is unique, so is every dog. Every program is custom tailored around your dog's needs, your needs and your home life and lifestyle. We ensure to make this a partnership with your canine to truly be successful!
