My story

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

Meet CARLO

Carlo is one of the most well-adjusted dogs I have fostered. He is super friendly and not shy with strangers. He likes being petted by someone he meets on a walk (kids or adults) or by house guests. At first, he was a bit hesitant to try new foods but now eagerly wants to eat everything his fellow dog companion gets. He has blended seamlessly with Islay a Cocker Spaniel and two cats that live in his foster home. He is a fast learner and has no issue with stairs, going out in the yard or being out and about in the neighbourhood. He could be a second dog for a family or an only dog he is flexible.

Breed: mini poodle

Weight: Approx. 7kg

Gender: male

Spayed/neutered: yes

Age: 4 years old

Reason for Intake: puppy mill father

Medical (shots, etc.): all up to date

Good with dogs: amazing – hasn’t met a dog he doesn’t like

Good with cats: currently living with two cats and they all sleep in the same bed together

Guarding issues: none

Ever bitten a human: no

Ever bitten a dog: no

Behavioural issues: None

Housetraining is a work in progress. He is improving but does best on a routine. He does use the pee pad.

Not Crate trained

Not destructive when left alone

Doesn't bark when left alone: Carlo just barks when Islay (other dog in the house) barks (when a car pulls into the driveway) otherwise he’s good when left with the other animals.

Leash skills: Carlo walks well on a leash. He is learning how to wait for the traffic to pass and walk briskly when necessary. He is learning that he can’t always go in the direction he wants and does then follow with some coaxing and encouragement. He loves going for walks and doesn’t mind wearing his winter coat.

Handling issues: Carlo is easy going and I can pick him up when needed.

Medical issues: none

Personality: gentle, fun loving and happy

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.
