Our Adoption Process

Thank you for considering adopting with us! You are giving a homeless dog a second chance and by adopting a rescue dog rather than shopping, you are helping reduce the demand that drives puppy mills and backyard breeding. We strive to find the perfect match and are looking for committed homes for our dogs where they are treated like family for life!

If you are interested in meeting a dog for adoption, click the “Adopt” button on their profile in the “Adoptable Dogs” section and fill out and submit the application form. We will review your application and see if your lifestyle matches the needs of the dog. If you seem well suited to each other, we will contact you by phone for an interview. If we mutually agree that you are potential match, we will arrange a virtual home check and a visit for you to come and meet the dog. There are often multiple applications for the same dog. Even if your application is successful, there is no guarantee you will automatically adopt the dog you have applied for. We do not adopt out dogs on a first come first served basis – we find the best matching home for each dog.

We pride ourselves on our thorough behaviour and veterinary assessments that help us match each dog to the right person. We rehome to all different types of homes, It just depends on the needs of the individual dog.

We will be honest  if we don’t feel you are the right match for a particular dog. Please don’t take this personally! We know how disappointing it can be to hear a dog won’t be coming home with you. We will have made the decision knowing the dog’s needs and what is best for them. Factors like a fenced yard, working hours, regular holidays or other commitments, lack of dog or breed experience, your current pets, could mean your lifestyle isn’t the best fit for the dog. We would be doing a disservice to the dog, ourselves and to you if we rehomed a dog somewhere that we didn’t see as their forever home. However, this doesn’t mean we won’t have another dog in the future that could suit your family and your lifestyle.

All of our dogs are spayed/neutered with pre-anesthetic blood work done, vaccinated including DHPP, Rabies, given flea/tick prevention and a broad spectrum dewormer. We also do heartworm testing if the dogs come from an area where heartworm is prevalent and at the advice of our veterinarian. We do our best to ensure the health of our dogs prior to adoption and will provide any and all care needed such as surgeries, dental, further lab testing, x-rays etc. at the advice of our veterinarian.

You can contact us at any time for support and advice, or to return the dog, whether it has been days, weeks, months or years since you adopted your dog from us.
