My story

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

Olaf is a 1-year-old male Labrador & Teckel mix. He loves cuddles, having his neck pet and behind his ears scratched, he can ask for several minutes. He fetches his toys (tennis ball, rope, stuffed animals) and brings them back so that you can play with him and likes to tear his stuffed animals apart. He has a lot of energy so loves to run and also loves to be chased. He likes to play with other dogs but being still young, he is learning how not to play too hard (only sometimes).
He is a little too curious about cats, but listens when you call his name and it is unknown how he is with children. He knows some basic commands (sit, lay down). He sometimes still nips and tends to jump on people, so needs to continue his training. He is house-trained and does his business outside. He is crate trained but prefers to be left in a closed room when you leave. He is nervous when left alone so a family with someone who is home a lot or with another dog would be ideal.

Olaf is vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and sterilized and will come with her medical booklet.
Sometimes a dog takes a little more time to open up, you may see them showing more and more of their personality over the course of the first few days, weeks or even months! We don’t know all that they’ve been through before they were rescued, but they are so forgiving and full of love and it’s worth every tough moment in the end. Developing a trusting relationship with your rescue dog is the most important thing. Stability, patience, positive reinforcement and love are the most important things!

Olaf est un labrador croisé & teckel, mâle qui a 1 an. Il adore les câlins, se faire gratter le cou et derrière les oreilles, il peut en demander pendant de longues minutes. Il va chercher ses jouets (balle de tennis, corde, toutous) et les ramène afin qu’on joue avec lui et aime déchirer ses toutous. Il a beaucoup d’énergie donc aime courir et aussi adore qu’on essaie de l’attraper. Il aime jouer avec les autres chiens mais étant encore jeune, il apprend comment ne pas jouer trop fort (seulement parfois).
Il est un peu trop curieux envers les chats, mais écoute quand ont dit son nom et c’est inconnu pour les enfants. Il connait certaines commandes de base (assis/couché). Il mordille encore et a tendance a sauter sur les gens, donc à besoin de continuer son entrainement. Il est propre dans la maison et fait ces besoins dehors Il connaît la cage mais préfère être laissé dans une piece fermée quand vous partez. Il est nerveux quand laissé seul donc une famille avec quelqu’un qui est beaucoup à la maison ou avec un autre chien serait idéal.

Olaf est vacciné, micro-pucé, vermifugé et stérilisé et viendra avec son livret médical.
Parfois un chien met un peu plus de temps à s'ouvrir, vous le verrez peut-être démontrer de plus en plus sa personnalité au cours des premiers jours, semaines et mois. Nous ne savons pas tout ce qu’ils ont vécu avant d’être secourus, mais ils sont tellement indulgents et pleins d’amour et chaque moment difficile en vaut finalement l’effort. Développer une relation de confiance avec votre chien de sauvetage est la chose la plus importante. La stabilité, la patience, le renforcement positif et l’amour sont les choses les plus importantes.

Additional adoption info

We do regular follow ups and virtual home visits before the family meet the dog. :)

Go meet their pets

We are presently foster based so the meetings will take place where the dogs are being kept and that way the potential family can also discuss the good and bad habits of that dog to see if it's the right fit. The families need to be willing to work on a behaviour if it needs work and to provide the appropriate time and patience for the dog to accllimate to it's new home!

More about this rescue

We are a small shelter with lots of experience with dogs and rescuing. I worked for a larger shelter in the past but didn't always appreciate the way things were handled so I decided to branch out in a smaller scale but with all of the wonderful contacts and information that I've learned in the past decade + of doing rescue! Dogs are my passion and I would love to place as many as possible in their loving, furever homes!
