My story

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

We just welcomed a lovely little Yorkie to our rescue. Bree is approximately 5 years old and weighs 6.5 lbs. She has spent her life in a puppy mill. A little nervous, but all things considered, Bree is doing very well. She is very curious and learns quickly.

Bree will be spayed soon and will be also looking at a dental. She eats Royal Canin Adult canned food and Ultra Kibble. We sometimes add a little chopped chicken or rice.

Bree gets along well with other dogs she meets, large and small. We’ve caught her playing with toys the odd time when no one is looking. She is very friendly and affectionate.

Bree arrived in a crate and car rides don’t seem to be a problem. She loves running around the backyard and exploring. At night she sleeps on her foster parent’s bed.

Bree uses puppy pads. There has been the odd accident, but that is to be expected while she is adjusting to new surroundings. 

Coming from a puppy mill, Bree has a few challenges. She will need to learn how to do stairs and walk on a leash. Sometimes she will bark when there is something new that scares her. In time she will feel more comfortable. There has been no destruction when Bree is left alone, but she will cry and bark.

Bree is a great little girl. A house would probably be best with a back yard. And she is would benefit from another dog in the home. Hopefully she will find a home with a retiree or someone who works from home and could be with her more often than not.

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.

Wish List
