My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

VENUS hails from Cat Lake and came south with her 6 puppies in search of a better life. She’s been spayed, vaccinated including her rabies, microchipped and been given a clean bill of health by her vet. We’ve just made an educated guess as to her breeds as unfortunately we have no info on her parentage. She’s a very gentle loving girl who was a wonderful nurturing mum to her puppies. However, she definitely has an energetic side to her too especially when it comes to playing outside. 
VENUS is crate trained and sleeps soundly in it at night and will also go in it during the day for a nap. She’s a true northern girl as she has lots of energy for running around and playing outside  in the yard with the two resident dogs but when she comes inside the home, she relaxes quietly on her dog bed where she enjoys chewing on her bone or rubber toys. She’s very good with eating around the other dogs in the home and will sit calmly for her food or treats. 
VENUS loves to be around people and to have reassurance that she’s loved. She’ll snuggle with you on the couch or lay right beside your feet. For this reason she would best suit having someone home for a good part of the day with her. She loves going on walks but would benefit from some formal leash training as if she gets excited she will pull. She has never met a cat so we wouldn’t recommend her being in a home with one. She has met children and was very good with them and we’re recommending they should be aged 6 and up and should have large breed dog experience. Her ideal family would be one that loves the outdoors as much as she does and enjoys walking and hiking on the trails too. She travels really well in a vehicle and would always be up for a road trip that leads to an adventure or two. She is housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside to use the bathroom.

If you would like to meet VENUS then please put in an adoption application.

Additional adoption info

Dogs: $750 (as of March 2024)
Cats: $250
The adoption process involves a brief application for the pet you are interested in. We will review your application and if you appear to be a good match for the pet, we will contact you for a phone interview. If that is successful we then do a vet reference check. If all goes well we will then set up a meet and greet for you and anyone else living in the home including any resident dogs with the pet. We then ask you to go home and contemplate your decision on adopting the pet and let us know your decision within 24hrs of meeting the pet. If applicable we will then move forward with the adoption at a mutually agreed upon time.

Go meet their pets

We only set up meet and greets with our animals once an adoption application has been submitted. We do occasionally have meet and greets with our animals at Global Pet Foods in the Barrie area.

You can check out the available pets on our rescuegroups website or on our rescue Facebook page.

More about this rescue

We’re a small rescue with a big mission to save animals in our Northern communities, local Pounds and owner surrenders (under certain circumstances.) We’re located in Barrie, Ontario and we serve the area of Simcoe County and within a two hour radius of the Barrie area.
Our intakes are placed in loving foster homes until they’re assessed, vetted including vaccines, microchip and a spay/neuter (if over 6 months of age) before they leave the rescue to be adopted. Female puppies are spayed at 6 months of age and males 8 months of age.)
We’re always looking for additional foster homes as we can only do intakes if we have foster homes for them to go into.
