My story

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

 

Moose is currently being fostered in the Newmarket area

 

This St. Bernard is a sweet 2 year old boy named Moose. He is currently being fostered with another large female dog, an elderly cat, and two children. He was being fostered with a small dog before and was great with him. Moose has experience living with a family before he came into rescue and was only surrendered due his family's life situation. He is fantastic with everyone in the foster home and they have experienced no issues to suggest he was rehomed due to temperament or health. His only issue is his size and the fact he doesn't know he is big. He wants to be a lap dog to the two kids he totally outweighs. The kids still love this goofy boy. He really has a gentle heart and disposition. The foster home doesn't use a crate as they keep the dogs baby gated in the kitchen. Mr. Moose will counter surf given the opportunity but who can resist leftovers. Other than the occasional counter surfing Moose is not destructive and does not guard his toys or food. He is quiet in the house and has been left alone without incident.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Our process begins with an online pre adoption questionnaire followed by a telephone interview
Once both have been completed we consider suitability and if we feel the adoption candidate is a potential match we arrange a meet and greet with the dog you are interested in
From there we schedule a home visit and check personal and veterinary references.

Go meet their pets

All our dogs are in foster homes so meet and greets are by appointment only

Foster Homes
Sadly, each new day brings a flood of emails and telephone pleas to help yet another abandoned dear dog. We try and help these displaced dogs through our rescue efforts and networking. We are always in search of new foster homes where a dog can be cared for and loved until a permanent home is found. Speaking of Dogs Rescue covers food, medical attention and all the supplies required for the dogs in foster care. Foster parents need be responsible and patient people who will provide a safe environment for our dogs. A foster contract must be signed. This is a serious responsibility; however the experience is very rewarding. If you can open your heart and home to a foster dog please contact us. We have a comprehensive Foster Manual available for people who are considering becoming a foster parent.
