She was one of 12 puppies born in a home to Mommy Princess in North Bay. Mommy and her litter and 19 other hounds were confiscated from their home and surrendered to the Humane Society. Barks and Meows Rescue took Mommy Princess as well as Charlotte and her sister Beatrice. Mommy Princess continued to be a wonderful mom to Beatrice and Charlotte once she entered foster care. She protected them until she felt all was safe. Once a day, her babes will come over and lick and cuddle her but then are off to play with others. Princess is a very low-key gal and nice and quiet. She sleeps quite a bit which is typical of her breed mix She is very gentle when taking treats. Princess has a large hound appetite so her food is measured out twice daily so she doesn't get any heavier. Princess is housebroken and does well in the vehicle. She is capable of counter-surfing so a hound-proof home is important. She is not crate trained but her foster home ensures there is nothing on the counters or tables she would want. This breed is not for everyone as they can never be off-leash unless in a fully fenced yard with the correct height. She is a pure hound so will follow her nose. Going for hikes and walks each time will be an adventure as they will stop to smell everything. Princess will require a leash and body harness for her walks. Princess is very gentle with children but a little timid if boisterous. We would recommend children 10 years plus if there are any in the home.

Going for hikes and walks each time will be an adventure as they will stop to smell everything. Princess will require a leash and body harness for her walks. Princess is spayed, fully vaccinated including Lepto and Bordetella. She is 4dx tested negative and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention during the season. A cat-free home is mandatory as they will have a very high prey drive. A fully fenced yard (wooden, not chain-link), another resident dog, and a Veterinarian History of Compliance is mandatory to apply for our Princess as hounds are prone to separation anxiety. We do not adopt to families with children under the age of 6.

All of our animals are adopted out to Ontario, Canada residents only. Foster Families will reside within Southwest Middlesex. All canines are tested for Heartworm if they are deemed old enough to have contracted it. Our fosters are all spayed or neutered if over the age of 6 months. They are all on heartworm prevention and or Revolution to ensure fleas or ear mites exist. Each "adoptee" is up-to-date with vaccines and vaccination certificates and health records will be given to the "adopters".
Our Adoption Process:
1) Please review the various fosters on our "Available for Adoption" page. Read the bio's carefully. Look for a foster that matches the dynamics of your current home. Each foster has different temperaments and characteristics, so know what you want to have in a companion. If you don't see a possible match, then please continue your search for a rescued canine elsewhere as they are hundreds of groups with thousands of animals looking for their ideal "forever homes".
2) If you find what you believe may be a match for your family, please complete the adoption application by clicking on the "Application for Adoption" page then, clicking on the link found on the page.
3) Your application will be reviewed within 48 hours and you will be responded to by e-mail advising you or whether or not we feel you are a potential match.
4) If you are considered a potential match, will will make arrangements via e-mail to setup a telephone interview with both spouses in the home. If we mutually agree, after the interview, that it the may very well be a match, the foster home will setup an interview with you either at your home or at the foster home. All family members who reside in the home as well as as any resident canines that live with you must be present for the home interview. If you live locally, there will be a 24 hour waiting period in order for both parties to think about the foster you have just met. If you live more than 1 hour away from the foster home then the foster home will have the choice of making a decision while you are there or advising that they wish to think about it over a 24 hour period. The foster home will have final say on whether or not it is deemed to be good choice and will advise the applicant of their decision. All decisions are final so we please ask that you respect the knowledge of the foster home as they really do know the animal they are caring for best.
5) If your family are chosen as a "forever home" for our foster, then you will need to complete and sign an adoption contract outlining our policies and procedures.
6) All adoption fees are on a cash or email interac basis only, and we will provide you with a receipt of payment. Please note this receipt is NOT a tax receipt as we are not a registered charity.
