Dog Tales Rescue and Sanctuary

• Experience the Most Wonderful Dog Rescue in the World.

  Dog Tales was founded in 2014 by an animal-loving husband and wife team – Rob and Danielle. Both had been involved in rescue for years before finally deciding that the best way to help animals in need was to open a rescue of their own.

  The Luxurious Kennel Space is One of the Things that Sets Dog Tales Apart.

  
  Rob and Danielle believe that dogs deserve all of the comforts of home while they wait for their forever homes, and wanted to create a space that contrasted the idea of the cold, stark shelter that we all have grown so accustomed to.  A fun, decorated environment filled with happy dogs makes it easier for guests to repeatedly visit until they find that perfect dog, without leaving feeling emotionally drained each time.

• Every Sunday is Open Adoption Day

  Dog Tales is open to the public every Sunday from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. for potential paw-rents to meet their dogs and see who they connect with. Their expert dog handlers are always on site to make recommendations and answer any questions you may have. If there is a dog that you fall in love with, the next step is to fill out an adoption application.  They will then spend some time getting to know you better to ensure that it is a match made in heaven. If you have other animals at home, the final step is a formal meet-and-greet at their rescue to ensure that everyone gets along. From start to finish, the adoption process will take 1-2 weeks. 

Olde Mill Art Gallery & Shoppe

• Past Meets Present at this Gallery Nestled in an Historic Feed Mill

  Opening as a working feed mill in the 1800's, connected by rail network to the rest of Canada, The Schomberg Feed Mill was the Main Street supply store servicing farmers in the surrounding countryside. The feed mills original structure is on Main Street in the heart of Schomberg, and still stands on its original footprint.

  The Old Schomberg Feed Mill originally operated until the railway to Schomberg was abandoned in 1927.  Since then, it has been home to many shops and restaurants, and is now home to The Scruffy Duck Restaurant and The Olde Mill Art Gallery & Shoppe.

  The Old Mill is bursting with history and possibly more....tales have been told of sightings of a gentleman in a top hat wandering through the building.

The Shrine of Our Lady of Grace at Marylake

• Experience the World's Largest Rosary

  At 1.5 kilometers long, the Augustinians in King City have the biggest rosary in the world.  The rosary winds across nineteen acres of land near the Marylake Monastery and Villanova College and the beads are accessible to all who can walk the path. This site has also been designated as a site of pilgrimage for the Jubilee of Mercy.

• 19 Foot Long Great Crucifix

  At the beginning of the Rosary Path, you will be inspired by the 19 foot long Great Crucifix, made of specially processed stainless steel, while the bronze corpus is eleven feet in length,  created by renowned Canadian sculptor, Timothy Schmaltz. The scroll above the head of Christ indicating “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” was designed by Ted Harasti and is authentically inscribed in abbreviated form in three languages: Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, consistent with the Gospel narrative of Christ’s Passion.

• Join the Monthly Pilgrimage

  This monthly pilgrimage to the Shrine of Our Lady of Grace offers the opportunity to continually experience the warm embrace and maternal care of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who interceded and continues to intercede for her children. This Marian devotion with an Augustinian touch, in a very serene environment, opens the door for a Divine encounter. It offers the opportunity to join our faith with others to call on our Blessed Mother to intercede for our families, the Church and the entire world.

  Our Lady of Grace monthly pilgrimage is open to everyone; individuals, groups from parishes, schools and other organizations. Catholics and non-Catholics are welcome, and it is free.

  In the summer and when it is convenient, there may be a Rosary procession through The Rosary Path at Marylake.

  This pilgrimage will be held on the third Saturday of every month.
