My story

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

Health Issues
None

Temperament
- Playful and spirited girl.
- People friendly. She may be a bit reserved when first meeting new people but warms up quickly.
- Can exhibit some reactivity to other dogs when on-leash or behind a fence, but less as she’s gets older.
- With proper introductions and supervised visits, she has enjoyed playtime with other dogs. She does best with calmer dogs that tolerate her rambunctious style of play
- Very happy to relax and cuddle once she’s had her required amount of exercise.
- Moderate-high prey drive. Likes to chase squirrels and birds.
- Can be slightly destructive when bored.
- Not much of a swimmer, but she enjoys playing in water.
- Responds well to verbal cues and attempts to redirect her attention.
- Her leash skills and basic obedience are good. She seems to enjoy one-on-one training sessions.

Owner Suitability
-Enjoys being a part of day-to-day activities and would benefit from a home in which people are around most of the day.
-Would benefit from daily walks and opportunities to play throughout the day.
- Loves to be off leash with people.
- She would do best in a home with a fenced in yard as she is a curious girl and enjoys opportunities to explore.
- Best suited to a home with no other dogs.
- Can happily live in a home with cats. She does show occasional interest in playing, but is very respectful of the cat not wanting to engage.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

1. All our dogs are fully vetted: they are fixed, chipped and up to date on all their shots and seasonal meds, if applicable.
2. Our dogs have basic obedience.
3. There is of course an adoption process. In the event of a suitable pairing, there is an adoption fee of $700 + tax.

There is a fairly structured adoption process which involves a commitment of time from potential adopters, and multiple trips to our facility. We are open to long distance adoptions, so long as the milestones of our adoption process are met https://www.keshetkennels.com/services/rescue-adoption/adoption-process/).

An adoption application, and home visit are part of the adoption process: https://www.keshetkennels.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Adoption-Application-2023.pdf

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

Keshet Kennels/Rescue is located in Carlsbad Springs, 20 minutes East of Ottawa (ON).

We operate 7 days a week from 7am to 8pm. To manage our days efficiently, we prefer that appointments are made to visit the facility or meet the dogs available for adoption.

More about this rescue

Keshet Kennels/Rescue, in addition to providing services such as boarding/daycare and facilities rental, is a large breed dog rescue focused primarily on owner surrenders. Under certain circumstances we take dogs from other sources. Keshet’s focus is large breed dogs because we believe that large breed dogs are more at risk.

Neither Keshet Kennels nor Keshet Rescue are registered charitable organizations. Currently, the care of rescued dogs is funded by the owners, from individual sponsors and a portion of Keshet Kennels’ revenues.
