My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Binne is an approximately 9 yr old Poodle X who came to the rescue when her owners could no longer take care of her. She has had all her teeth removed, so her tongue hangs out of her mouth, and with her soulful puppy eyes, it's hard to resist all that cuteness! Binne was a bit scruffy but she now sports a brand new haircut and is ready for summer.

Binnie can be a nervous dog who will need time to trust her new family. She doesn't like being touched around her head and will back away until she feels comfortable. Once she trusts, she will follow her people everywhere, curling up on the couch with her humans to watch some Netflix or read a book!

Binne eats wet canned food twice a day and will also eat kibble that has been softened with warm water or broth; having no teeth doesn’t stop this girl! She has a refined taste for snacks, her favourites being strawberries, and soft liver treats. She will never turn down the chance to eat!

Binne loves to go for walks and enjoys checking out the sights and smells of nature. She is learning to walk nicely and is making good progress. Other loves include exploring the backyard, basking in the sunshine on the deck and going for car rides. Stuffed toys are her most favourite play thing and she will carry them around, throwing them into the air to play with them, as well as fetch if they are tossed for her.

Binne is best suited in a home without small children who might scare her with their excitement. She has been fully vetted and is ready to find her forever home with someone willing to give her all the love and attention she craves.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.
