My story

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

October-Lab/Australian Shepard , female ~ 1-2 yr. old (Sept. 2023)
Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application.
October came to Rescue when her prior owner found out she was pregnant. He asked our Rescue Vet to help with getting October and her upcoming puppies a new home. She has raised her family and is now ready for a home of her own. She is crate trained and a friendly dog. October is used to living with children, cats, other dogs and fowl. A home with experience with herding dogs is preferred. She will love a home that helps keep her stimulated both mentally and physically. October would make a great hiking or running partner. Many Australian Shepherd Lab Mix lovers describe their dogs as protective, loyal, athletic companions. They are medium in size and full of energy and with lots of love to give. One thing Australian Shepherd Labs are not good at is being alone for long periods of time.
October's adoption fee is $350. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com Include your location and a phone number for future communication.

Their adoption process

Please request an application via email. Please allow 24 hours for a response.

2.

Approve Application

Once your application has been reviewed and approved, we will contact you to arrange a meeting with our pets.

3.

Visit the Facility and Find a Pet

Visit our pets at a Meet and Greet adoption event. Approved adopters will be able to adopt that day.

4.

Sign Adoption Contract

We will review the medical records and contract. The adoption fee is cash only.

Additional adoption info

The first step in the adoption process is to request an application from rescuebc@hotmail.com. Please allow 1-2 days to receive the application. Please be patient as we are 100% volunteer supported. We will need several days to make the calls on your application. The current pets in the home must be spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines and annual exams, and currently on heartworm preventative for dogs. You must be 21 years of age and gainfully employed.
Once you are approved, a volunteer will contact you and invite you to a Meet and Greet to visit with a pet. All our pets are fostered in private homes and only come to the event when they have a potential adopter.
Plan to spend 1-2 hours at the Meet and Greet. It takes time to unload our pets and give them an opportunity to relieve themselves. You will have time to visit with a pet to decide if this is the right pet for your family. You will be required to sign a legal contract and we will go over the medical records with you. You will be required to take your new pet to the vet within 7 days of adopting.
We charge an adoption fee for all of our animals. This fee varies depending on the vetting requirements of that particular animal. The adoption fee is cash only.
If you have any questions, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com.
