My story

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

CUDDLY LAB MIX AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Say hello to Rex, an affectionate Lab mix ready to snuggle up for the winter with a new forever family. Rex is about 8 years of age and weighs in at a svelte 36 pounds, and really doesn’t take up much room when he’s snuggling with his people.

Rex’s foster family says that he’s rather calm and likes to sleep close to his humans (have we mentioned he loves people?). Rex does love company, so we’re looking for a home where he’s not left alone for extended periods of time. Rex walks fairly well on leash with a front clip harness, and has been learning to control his excitement when seeing other dogs on walks. He does get along nicely with the female Corgi at his foster home. Rex is housetrained and does not have high energy demands.

It seems a lot of folks these days are looking for puppies, but they’re certainly not for everyone, and adult dogs have a lot to offer. If Rex sounds like the kind of dog you’d like to open your heart and home to, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at www.kikodogrescue.ca. We are active in the Greater Montreal and Eastern Ontario areas, and are also open to applicants from elsewhere willing to drive to us.

Additional adoption info

If you are interested in adopting a Kiko dog, please e-mail us. You will be asked to complete an adoption application so that we can get to know you better. A home visit is also mandatory, often with the dog that interests you. Our adoption fee is $650 for adult dogs and $750 for puppies under a year old, and all our dogs are examined by a veterinarian, defleaed, dewormed*, vaccinated, sterilized and also tested for heartworm and lyme disease. *Please note that puppies adopted at a young age may require ongoing deworming for up to six months. Although this is a relatively inexpensive treatment, Kiko is unable to cover this and will only take care of deworming while the puppy is under the care of the rescue.

Our Featured Pet...

Our dogs love to sleep on Kuranda Dog beds, but we don't have enough for everyone. If you would like to donate a bed at a special wholesale price for a another dog to sleep in comfort, please donate a Kuranda dog bed.

More about this rescue

Kiko Dog Rescue and Adoptions is a small non-profit rescue group located west of Montreal near the Quebec/Ontario border and is named after a little black Pug rescued from a puppy mill. We are dedicated to helping dogs that have found themselves homeless, whether they are from a pound, puppy mill or a home surrender, by placing them in the loving forever homes they so deserve. All dogs that come into our rescue receive whatever veterinary care they require, including everything from dentistry to surgery to help correct an uncomfortable or painful medical condition. In many cases, the adoption fee is not enough to cover a dog's vet bill. If you would like to help us by making a donation towards our vet bill, please click on the Paypal button. Thank you!

Our dogs are not kept at a shelter. We rely on the generosity of foster families. If you are not ready for a permanent adoption and would like to consider fostering on a temporary basis, please contact us for more information. Food and veterinary care is provided by Kiko—all you need to provide is a warm loving haven.

Looking for a meaningful and lasting gift for a Pet Lover? Donate a Kuranda dog bed to one of our dogs in the name of a friend or family member. A personalized Gift Card will be mailed to them to inform them of the wonderful gift you have selected for them.
