My story

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

❤️‍🩹🐾❤️‍🩹 This is our sweet & kind soul, miss Angy. She’s a big lovable bear of a dog looking for a family of her own because of a couple’s separation. She is about 6 years old and a Labrador mixed with Bernese, making her the cuddliest of all the dogs. This gal loves being with other animals, like dogs or cats, but can also be the only dog in the household. She is super gentle, loving and calm but also has her spurts of puppy energy.

Unfortunately, in her previous home, her health wasn’t the highest priority so she is very overweight and because of that her body is older than it should be. She is currently on Gabapentin and CBD oil for pain management and as anti-inflammatories. Her vet thinks perhaps physio and/or hydrotherapy would be great for her in the long term. Daily walks will help greatly. Angy needs a family that will help her get her weight down to a healthy number, she will need daily walks but also will need to have her stamina built as she’s not used to them.

She loves to cuddle up next to you or lay at your feet when watching tv at night. She is the perfect companion for someone who wants to keep or get in shape, and they can help her along in their journey! Angy wasn’t able to undergo a dental cleaning while being sterilised, as the doctors deemed the surgery too lengthy and potentially dangerous. We do ask that her future family do a dental cleaning with a vet in the near future.

We had an x-ray done for her, to see how her weight was affecting her bones, and were told that her bones have become pointy instead of round and the best thing for her health and well-being is to get her down to an appropriate weight with good diet and exercise. This gem of a dog hopefully has a very long life ahead of her, and she’s looking for a family to appreciate the sweet girl she is. She’s very obedient and falls in love with people quickly; she can be a bit nervous at first, but warms up fast.

Angy is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and sterilized and will come with her medical booklet.

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!

❤️‍🩹🐾❤️‍🩹 Voici notre belle et douce Mlle Angy. Elle est une adorable grosse ourse. Elle est à la recherche d’une famille juste à elle, en raison d’une séparation de couple. Elle a environ 6 ans et est un mélange Labrador-Bernois, ce qui fait d'elle, une amour! Cette belle fille adore être avec d'autres animaux, comme les chiens ou les chats, mais peut aussi être la seule chienne de la maison! Elle est super douce, aimante et calme, mais a aussi ses petites poussées d'énergie drôles de chiot!

Malheureusement, dans son ancien foyer, sa santé n’était pas la priorité donc elle a un surpoids donc son corps est plus âgé qu’il ne devrait l’être. Elle prend actuellement du Gabapentin et de l'huile de CBD pour gérer la douleur et comme anti-inflammatoires. Son vétérinaire croit que la physiothérapie et/ou l'hydrothérapie seraient peut-être idéales pour elle à long terme, mais des courtes marches hebdomadaires aideraient beaucoup.

Angy a besoin d’une famille qui vas l’aider à baisser son poids à un niveau sain avec des promenades et développer son endurance car elle n’y est pas habituée. Elle adore se blottir contre vous ou s'allonger à vos pieds en regardant la télévision en soirée. Elle est la compagne idéale pour quelqu'un qui souhaite garder ou se remettre en forme, et qui peut l'aider dans son cheminement.

Angy n’a pas pu subir un nettoyage dentaire pendant sa stérilisation, car le véto. a jugé l’opération trop longue et potentiellement dangereuse. Nous demandons que sa future famille fasse prochainement un nettoyage dentaire chez un vétérinaire.

Nous lui avons fait faire une radiographie afin de voir comment son poids affectait ses os, et on nous a dit que ses os étaient devenus plus pointus au lieu d'êtres ronds et que la meilleure chose pour sa santé et son bien-être était de la ramener à un poids approprié, avec une bonne alimentation et de l'exercice.
Nous espérons que cette perle de chien a une très longue vie devant elle et qui va trouver une famille qui va apprécier sa douceur et gentillesse qu'elle est. Elle est très obéissante et devient rapidement amoureuse des gens. Au début, elle peut être un peu nerveuse, mais se rapproche vite.

Angy est vacciné, micro-pucé, vermifugé et stérilisé et viendra avec son livret médical.

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.

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!
