Available for Adoption
March 2008: We presently have two female leos in need
of new homes.
|
|
Leonora is a very special
girl. Being wolf grey, rather than
the usual lion yellow or reddish-brown colour that people often associate
with Leos, she has a very loving temperament and gentle personality. Sadly, she has gone through a lot in
her short life. Best guess is
she’s around 6 years old.
Leonora would do
best in an adult home, or a home with older children, and no other
pets. Leonora will be ready for
her new ‘forever home’ as soon as she is spayed.
Update : November
13th, 2007

Nikki is a very energetic
and affectionate three year old girl who gives her heart freely. She desperately wants to please, and
tries very hard to do what is asked of her, but often gets so excited
that she just cannot contain herself.
Nikki has just graduated from her basic obedience class. (
See photos of her in the Gallery getting her certificate! )
She is reactive when other dogs around her get excited, so it
is important that her new family be prepared to work with her on a 24/7
basis. For this reason, a family
where an adult is home all day would be best suited for her. It is equally important that her
training be continued to help her develop self-control and confidence.
Nikki seems to feel more comfortable around women and is more
guarded around men and older boys.
They seem to activate her protection mode, yet given time,
patience and positive reinforcement obedience training, this too can be
adjusted.

Since the dog’s welfare must come first we do not simply allow
our adopters to pick their own dog, nor do we place our dogs on a
‘first-come-first-serve’ basis.
Rather, we first determine a dog’s needs and then match them to
whoever is able to meet those needs best.
If you are interested in one of the dogs listed above, you may
mention that on your Application Form.
We will evaluate your application relevant to that dog's needs. We would only approve your request if the
match was right for all involved.
If you would like to be considered as a potential adopter,
please complete the Adoption Application Form and return it to us at your earliest
convenience. We will keep your
information on file and contact you should a suitable dog become
available.
Special Note: Please be sure you have read Adoption Info to fully understand
some of the potential challenges of adopting a rescued dog.
