My story

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

Hi there, my name is Tango. I am a neutered male about 2-3 yrs old. My life prior to coming into foster care was one of free range. I was spending most of my time living on someone's deck and the rest of the time roaming to community. It was said at this time I got along with dogs, cats and kids alike.

Since coming into foster care I have been living the acreage life. I often escaped the fenced half acre but never strayed far and always came back on my own. More recently I have stopped escaping and I am content to play and run with my foster sister Whiskey. Through the cold winter months I slept indoors in a nice warm heated garage but I couldn't figure out how to sleep through the night without pooping in the garage (I did not have access to go out on my own through the night). Now that it has warmed up I prefer to sleep up on the front porch where I have a doghouse and big comfy chair.

My foster mom says I would do best continuing to live the acreage life as the outside is most comfortable and familiar to me. She says I am the sweetest good boy. I love pets and being brushed. I seldom to never bark (unless coyotes or other wild life come around). I watch the cats in the catio and try not to bug them. I love playing with my foster sister and I am really just a big love bug. Oh and I enjoy going for walks everyday and I am trying to learn how to not pull.

Am I just what you have been looking for? I sure hope so. Please fill out the adoption application if you'd like to meet me!

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All adoptions begin with an adoption application, available here or on our website (or from one of our wonderful volunteers in person). The application is reviewed by the adoptable animal's foster home as well as by the appropriate coordinator (canine/feline) to assess how the animal will fit in your home. We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, but being 100% run by volunteers sometimes we need additional time--if you haven't heard back after 72 hours, feel free to contact us to check in on your application.

Canine Adoption Fees:
$450 for puppies under 1 year of age
$375 for dogs over 1 year & under 7 years
$300 for dogs 7 years and older

Feline Adoption Fees:
$250 for kittens and cats up to 12 months old
$200 for cats between 1-6 years old
$150 for cats 6 years old and older

Adoption fees help offset the cost to our organization of providing full medical care (including spay or neuter surgery) to each animal we adopt to a furever home.
