My story

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

Meet Badger, a sweet senior who has been diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy, which simply means his seizures have no known cause. He’s on anti-seizure medication three times a day, and it’s working wonders! Badger’s seizures have been successfully managed, and we’re thrilled to say he hasn’t had one in months.

In his golden years, Badger treasures his quiet moments but still enjoys leisurely walks. He’s the perfect companion for someone who values a balance of relaxation and outdoor time. Badger prefers to be the only dog in a calm, adult-only home, as he isn’t fond of high-energy young dogs. He may take a little time to warm up to new people and can be protective of his face at first, but once he feels safe, he’s an absolute sweetheart.

Could Badger be your next loyal adventure buddy?

Additional adoption info

Due to the high volume of applicants, we are only able to move forward with families that are ready to adopt now. If you aren’t ready to adopt now, please apply when you are ready to welcome a dog into your home. After your initial appointment, once the adoption has been approved, we will require the dog to be picked up within one week unless we determine otherwise.

Our hope is that all homes are a forever home, however we understand that circumstances can change, and that sometimes it just isn't the right fit. Whether you discover this three days after the adoption, or three years after the adoption, we will always welcome our dogs back with open arms. Their well-being is our top concern.

All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, examined by a vet, dewormed, given flea and tick prevention, groomed

Our adoption fees:

Under 1 year old (11 months or less) - $950
1-7 years old - $800
8+ years old - $500

Palliative* - $50
Special Needs* - $50

More about this rescue

Dog Tales is a world-renowned dog rescue and horse sanctuary set on an incredible 50 acres of green fields, rolling hills, and wooded areas in King City, Ontario. Our picturesque location - complete with kilometers of walking trails, therapy pools, and a grooming spa - is the perfect setting for abused and neglected animals to heal and be rehabilitated while they wait for forever homes. Along with medical care, our team provides all of the love, attention and training that our rescues need to recover from their difficult pasts, so that they can move on to permanent, loving homes, which most do. For the rest, Dog Tales is home for as long as they need it to be.

Providing a home to a dog in need is an incredibly rewarding experience. When you adopt from Dog Tales you are joining our growing community.
