My story

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

Milo is a super sweet & calm (almost 7 year old) male black Lab. mix. He was rescued when he was younger from the streets after he’d been hit by a car. After his operation & rehabilitation, he was back to being mobile, how ever, there was irreparable damage to his left hip. He was then adopted out to a family by the local SPCA but unfortunately the family didn’t follow the vets orders of keeping him active and weren’t in a place to properly help Milo to maintain and improve his hip issue.

He’s thankfully currently in no pain but that may change with age. He is missing a part of the hip joint on the left side, but the muscles have been holding everything together for him, so he walks distinctly (we call it his ‘wiggle’), but is fully mobile. It’s very important that he maintain a steady leaner weight, to help avoid extra pressure on his joints and bones. He will need Flexadin long term, and is currently on CBD oil; it has been helping him. The vet recommends physio to help with his flexibility, swimming if possible (although he is not a great fan of water), as it’s the best exercise for mobility. He should not go for runs but must have daily walks at a steady pace.

Don’t let his prognosis fool you because he has no idea that he’s different in any way. He adores every person, dog, cat and child that he meets. He’s a typical Lab. in the sense that he’s pure love and silliness and loves his food! Milo is a very sweet dog who is calm with a low energy level. He weighs about 70 pounds and is a very polite boy. He shouldn’t be with young children who can pull or lean on him and possibly and accidentally hurt him. For that same reason, we prefer that he be in a home that does not have too many stairs.

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

Milo est un Lab. noir mâle qui est calm, doux avec un faible niveau d’énergie, de presque 7 ans. Il a été sauvé de la rue alors qu’il était plus jeune, après avoir été heurté par une voiture. Après son opération et réhabilitation pour sa hanche gauche qui a subi des dommages irréparables, il a été adopté par une famille via la SPCA locale, mais malheureusement, la famille n'a pas suivi les ordres du vétérinaire et n'était pas en mesure d'aider correctement Milo à maintenir et à améliorer son problème de hanche.

Heureusement, il ne souffre actuellement pas, mais cela peut changer avec l’âge. Il lui manque une partie de l'articulation de la hanche du côté gauche, mais les muscles maintiennent le tout ensemble. Il marche distinctement (avec son p’tit ‘wiggle’) mais il est entièrement mobile. Il est très important qu’il maintienne un poids stable et mince afin d’éviter une pression supplémentaire sur ses articulations et ses os. Il aura besoin de Flexadin à long terme et prend actuellement de l'huile de CBD, qui l’aide. Le véto. recommande un physio. pour l'aider à améliorer sa flexibilité, en nageant si possible (malgré qu’il n’est pas un amateur de l’eau), car c'est le meilleur exercice de mobilité. Il ne devrait pas courir mais doit faire des marches à un rythme régulier à tout les jours.

Ne vous laissez pas tromper par son pronostic, car il n’a aucune idée qu’il est différent de quelque manière que ce soit. Il adore chaque personne, chien, chat et enfant qu'il rencontre. Milo est un lab. typique dans le sens où il est un amour et adore sa nourriture. Milo est un chien très gentil, calm avec un faible niveau d’énergie. Il pèse environ 70 livres et est un très poli garçon. Il ne devrait pas être avec des enfants trop jeunes, qui pourraient le tirer ou s’appuyer sur lui et éventuellement le blesser accidentellement. Pour cette même raison, nous préférons qu’il soit dans une maison où il n’a pas besoin de monter trop d’escaliers.

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.
Milo est vacciné, micro-pucé, vermifugé et stérilisé et viendra avec 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!
