My story

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

Alfalfa is a 6 year old male who was abandoned at the rescue when he was a puppy. He tolerates being around 60 other dogs at all times because he has no choice, but really he would like to be an only furchild. He is very sweet and affectionate with adults but also have a strong personality so he needs an owner/family that won’t let him be the leader. He would do best in a home without any children, dogs or cats so that he can live out the rest of his life in peace. This stubby tailed boy is a loving and silly dog that just wants his own family to love and spoil him.

Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months! We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things!

Alfalfa is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and sterilized and will come with his medical booklet.

Alfalfa est un mâle de 6 ans qui a été abandonné au secours alors qu'il était chiot. Il tolère être à tout moment entouré de 60 autres chiens parce qu'il n'a pas le choix, mais il aimerait vraiment être un enfant unique. Il est très doux et affectueux avec les adultes mais a aussi une forte personnalité, il a donc besoin d'un propriétaire/famille qui ne le laisse pas être le leader. Il ferait mieux de vivre dans une maison sans enfants, sans chiens ni chats, afin de pouvoir vivre le reste de sa vie en paix. Ce garçon à queue courte est un chien aimant et idiot qui veut juste que sa propre famille l'aime et le gâte.

Parfois un chien met un peu plus de temps à s'ouvrir, vous le verrez peut-être montrer de plus en plus sa personnalité au cours des premiers jours, semaines voire mois ! Nous ne savons pas tout ce qu’ils ont vécu avant d’être secourus, mais ils sont tellement indulgents et pleins d’amour et chaque moment difficile en vaut finalement la peine. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien de sauvetage est la chose la plus importante. La stabilité, la patience, le renforcement positif et l’amour sont les choses les plus importantes !

Alfalfa est vaccinée, pucée, vermifugée et stérilisée et sera accompagnée de son livret médical.

Additional adoption info

We do regular follow ups and virtual home visits before the family meet the dog. :)

Go meet their pets

We are presently foster based so the meetings will take place where the dogs are being kept and that way the potential family can also discuss the good and bad habits of that dog to see if it's the right fit. The families need to be willing to work on a behaviour if it needs work and to provide the appropriate time and patience for the dog to accllimate to it's new home!

More about this rescue

We are a small shelter with lots of experience with dogs and rescuing. I worked for a larger shelter in the past but didn't always appreciate the way things were handled so I decided to branch out in a smaller scale but with all of the wonderful contacts and information that I've learned in the past decade + of doing rescue! Dogs are my passion and I would love to place as many as possible in their loving, furever homes!
