My story

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

 

Genevieve is from a puppy mill and has lived in a barn.  We recently welcomed her into our rescue and she is doing well with the transition from isolated barn to loving home with humans and other dogs 

Location: Waterloo
Name: Genevieve
Breed: Poodle Mix
Weight: 9 ½ lbs.
Gender: Female
Spayed/neutered:
Age: 1.5
Reason for Intake: Released from breeder
Medical (shots etc):
Good with dogs: Yes
Good with cats: Reactive with cats
Good with kids: Older respectful children
Good with strangers: Yes
Guarding issues: No
Ever bitten a human: No
Ever bitten a dog: No
Behavioural issues: currently working on learning to live in a house
House trained: No
Crate trained: No
Destructive when left alone: No
Barks when left alone: No
Leash skills: Learning to walk on a leash
Handling issues: no
Known commands: Working on Sit
Food on now: Science Diet Small and Mini
Medical issues: None
Personality, likes/dislikes: Likes to cuddle, not a big barker, very happy and a
lovely companion
Best home scenario: She likes to be around people but is fine with being left alone
for a few hours at a time. She does not bark a lot so might be suitable for
apartment living if her owners can work with her on a house-training regime.
Genevieve is a sweet happy little lady who loves life. She has a poodle coat that is
primary grey with some white, black and apricot markings. She is quite unique
with one brown eye and one blue eye. Genevieve is just learning to be a house pet,
and she is eagerly adapting to all the changes coming her way. She loves treats so
this will help in the training process. Genevieve is a joy to have around and is
looking forward to finding a forever home.

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.

Go meet their pets

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.

Wish List
