My story

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

Stanley, a 7 year old, 15 lb. Yorkie, recently joined our rescue. He is a big handsome boy who has lived in a puppy mill all his life.

When Stanley first arrived he would run away when approached. It took some work to gain his trust. He is a friendly boy and is good with other dogs. He is starting to enjoy the company of his foster parents and loves to cuddle on the couch. He also sleeps in bed with them.

Stanley loves to run around in the backyard. He has not mastered the stairs yet. He is working on walking on a leash, but it’s still a work in progress. He gets frightened when vehicles drive by or if there are loud noises.

Stanley has a very good appetite and eats 2 meals a day. He is on kibble with canned food and add in a little chopped chicken and rice. Benny Bully are his favourite treats.

Currently there are 2 small dogs in Stanley’s foster home. He will sometimes join in when the other dogs bark, but for the most part is very quiet. He has not been destructive when left alone.

Stanley is not housebroken yet - another work in progress (common to the mill dogs we take in). We try to get him outside every couple of hours to do his business. He will need some assistance with that. He is a little frightened driving in the car, but can travel seat belted in a dog bed.

A quiet environment and a house with a yard would be beneficial for Stanley. And it would be nice if someone was home more often than not... perhaps someone who works from home or who is retired. He is making great progress and with a little time and patience he will be a lovely companion. He's a sweet boy who has been through the mill, literally! But brighter days are ahead for this deserving chap.

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.
