My story

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

Buster is a big goof ball. He literally will bury his head in your lap when you go to pet him. He is a gentle giant that just wants someone to cuddle up next to, whether it's a beloved human (probably female) or dog sibling (probably female). Haha he is a bit of a ladies' man but definitely can become close to a man too, it just might take a bit of schmoozing! Buster is in heaven in his suburban foster home, where he spends dreamy days frolicking in his big back yard with his dog foster-sister (SNOW! ), keeping a sharp eye out the window (SQUIRRELS! ) or stretched out on the couch for a snooze (he used to live chained to a dog house...imagine how a soft cushion feels for him now!). Leashes used to be his krypton it's, but he's been having many positive experiences and has improved beyond measure. Instead of having a meltdown when he sees a leash, he now gets excited for walks, hardly pulls anymore and even keeps his composure around big scary trucks. Being half Great Pyrenees, Buster is protective of his home, and is very alert when someone new is on the premises.

Their adoption process

1.
Submit Application

People can submit an adoption application

2.
Interview

First we do reference checks, THEN we do a full 1 to 1.5 hr interview with the applicant

3.
Home Check

Home checks used to be done in person but lately we do a zoom walk through of the home, checking especially the backyard and crate set up

4.
Meet the Pet

If the dog is here in Canada they can do a meet and greet to finalize that they are in fact who they say they are and a good match

5.
Approve Application

we would send an email approving the adopter (or declining if they aren't approved)

6.
Sign Adoption Contract

We would send the adoption contract which they would fill out and send back.

7.
Pay Fee

They would transfer the adoption fee to cover transport costs and vetting of the dog. Then they would come pick up the dog from the foster.

Additional adoption info

No other additional information. Some of our dogs are adopted as soon as they come up on a "foster-to-adopt" trial period to ensure the perfect match.

More about this rescue

We rescue dogs off of death row from the Texas kill shelters and help rehome stray dogs from dumping grounds that have clearly been neglected or abused.
