My story

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

River-Poodle/Saint Bernard male, DOB 3-2-22 (Aug. 2024)
Please contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application
River came to Rescue when his owner realized he could not meet his needs. He had bought him from a breeder/Puppy Mill when River was 1 ½ yr. old....and didn't realize the commitment to owning a dog. River needs an experienced owner, someone who will take the time to introduce him to the world and the joy it can bring him. He's good with other dogs and cats. Children have not been a part of his life, so they do make him nervous at this time. He's a big boy, with his breeding, about 100#. He knows how to walk on the leash but is lower energy and is very content to hang out at home. River is now in foster care with a Trainer and learning every day. He's ready to find his new home and family. River's adoption fee is $600 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com . Be sure to include your location and a phone number for future communication.

Their adoption process

Approve Application

Once your application has been reviewed and approved, we will contact you to arrange a meeting with our pets.

3.

Visit our pets at a Meet and Greet adoption event. Approved adopters will be able to adopt that day.

4.
Sign Adoption Contract

We will review the medical records and contract. The adoption fee is cash only.

Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to request an application from rescuebc@hotmail.com. Please allow 1-2 days to receive the application. Please be patient as we are 100% volunteer supported. We will need several days to make the calls on your application. The current pets in the home must be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and annual exams, and currently on heartworm preventative for dogs. You must be 21 years of age and gainfully employed.
Once you are approved, a volunteer will contact you and invite you to a Meet and Greet to visit with a pet. All our pets are fostered in private homes and only come to the event when they have a potential adopter.
Plan to spend 1-2 hours at the Meet and Greet. It takes time to unload our pets and give them an opportunity to relieve themselves. You will have time to visit with a pet to decide if this is the right pet for your family. You will be required to sign a legal contract and we will go over the medical records with you. You will be required to take your new pet to the vet within 7 days of adopting.
We charge an adoption fee for all of our animals. This fee varies depending on the vetting requirements of that particular animal. The adoption fee is cash only.
If you have any questions, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com.
