My story

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

Meet Muffin, a 7 year old Chihuahua mix that came into our rescue from a QC shelter
Muffin is quite a sweet little girl that could do with some confident building. While in her foster home it has taken her a few weeks to warm up to her foster mom but is now wagging her tail and wanting attention and cuddles.
Muffin has a bit trouble with stairs and would benefit from a home that was on one floor or an owner that could carry her up and down. She is pee pad trained but does do her business in the backyard as well.
Muffin is a bit overweight and should lose 1-2 pounds. She is also learning how to walk in a leash.
She is a very quiet dog with very minimal barking. She will bark when she hears a horn outside or if a new person is visiting but quickly settles and gets on with her day.
She is good with other dogs and has a delightful, fun personality. She has been through a lot with losing her previous family, ending up in a shelter and now in another new environment. She has taken things in stride as best she can. We have next seen any aggression with Muffin, not even when having to do eye drops the first week of her arrival
If you are ready to add Muffin to your family, please fill in an application for our review.

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.

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.
