Here's what the humans have to say about me:
James River-Lab/Red Heeler male, ~ 2 yr. (Oct. 2025)
Contact rescuebc@hotmail.com for an application.
River came to Rescue when his owner could no longer care for him. He was left with a Trainer who put JR in a Prison Training Program. He has done terrific! He is now housetrained and crate trained. He's had basic obedience training and knows husbandry and grooming. JR has been described as a medium energy dog, but not a couch potato. He will enjoy walks, hikes and then watching TV with you. At the Prison, he's been with all kinds of dogs and is great with everyone. Super friendly. He's not had a chance to live with cats and children, so that is unknown. But he certainly is bred to be a food family pet. He shares his toys and food, too!
JR's adoption fee is $350 to help cover the medical costs of getting ready for adoption. For our application, please email rescuebc@hotmail.com Please include your phone number and location for future reference.
From Liz-head Trainer in the Prison Program.
He’s not a couch potato of course when you asked me their energy level I have to base it off of what I enjoy and what I like and what I’m living with I say he’s mid range. I think he would like hiking. I think he would like camping. I think he would like to go for walks around the neighborhood, he’s pretty happy go lucky the trainers really like him. He’s cute as a button, but I would not recommend him for someone. Who’s a senior citizen. That’s not in good shape and wants to get out again he is definitely not a couch, potato dog. Yes, he can lie calmly. Yes, he can play with his toys, but he saw someone you know he’s young.

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.
