My story

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

Sweet little Gigi, a Poodle X was picked up as a stray and not claimed. She is approximately 12 years young, 15 pounds, playful, sweet, and is looking for a family to call her own. She has been fully vetted and has recently been spayed, had a hernia repair and several teeth removed. She is up to date on her shots, and is microchipped.

Gigi's favourite thing to do is be with her person. She loves to cuddle and will sit by your side looking for belly rubs and ear scratches. If you stop petting her she will tap your hand with her nose to remind you to pet her. She loves to sleep with you and will get right under the covers and curl up beside you.

Gigi eats twice a day and will be your best pal if you offer her some treats during as well. She gets wet food because she has so few teeth, but she does enjoy a bit of kibble in a separate bowl.

She goes to the door to be let out and his well housetrained. Gigi knows the commands sit, stay and off. On walks or going for a ride in the car, Gigi will often try to chat with people or other dogs that she sees. Saying thank you will often get her to quiet down. She will also bark to alert if she hears someone outside but quickly settles. Gigi loves everyone and is quick to approach people for affection. She is currently in a foster home with 2 other small dogs and gets along well with them.

The best placement for Gigi would be with people who are home most of the time and have a fenced yard where she can go out several times a day.

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.
