Every adoption is a story worth sharing and a reminder of why rescue work matters.

These “Tales to Tell” are filled with love, second chances, and the joy that comes when animals and people find each other. Reading these journeys not only shows the difference adoption makes, but also inspires others to open their homes and hearts to pets in need.

Explore our adoption stories below and see how Gerdy’s Rescue continues to make a lasting impact on animals and families across Montreal.
