My story

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

Beth is a sweet 6-year-old Bichon mix. She was released into our care from a
breeding facility where she was used to produce puppies for profit. Her soft white
coat is growing in after being shaved. She is at an ideal weight of 11.5 lbs. Beth
recently received her spay operation and has had a dental cleaning. She is
vaccinated and microchipped. Beth is learning to trust people and gets braver
everyday. She enjoys a cuddle and even gives the occasional kiss. She is very
gentle and quiet around the house, sometimes preferring to be tucked away in her
dog bed observing the activity of the home. She is being introduced to walking on
the leash and enjoys being outside for short periods. She can be left for several
hours on her own in the house and is not destructive. Beth is working on
housetraining and relieves herself outside in the fenced backyard or uses a pee
pad. She is eating a mixture of both soft food and kibble and enjoys treats
occasionally. Beth sleeps on dog beds or people beds, where she sleeps peacefully
through the night. She has not yet learned to jump onto furniture or use stairs.
She would be fine being the only dog or sharing a home with another dog of
similar size and age. Her preferred home would be with someone who is home at least
part of the day and would work with her on her journey to becoming her best self. Beth is
looking forward to being a wonderful companion and a beloved member of her
forever family.

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.
