We are a non profit
independant rescue with two locations one located in the interior of BC and in Richmond BC. We are serious dog lovers and are lucky to have tons of space for the dogs to run and be loved.
We mainly work with dogs who have no where else to go or have been deemed un-adoptable by a shelter. We work hard to assess and rehabilitate the dogs and place them in appropriate homes. We are rarely able to take in owner surrenders and will not facilitate pet dumping. Please understand the dogs we help aren't perfect but they can and do make lovely wonderful pets. We rarely if ever have puppies or young dogs in our rescue.
We have very limited foster space and must keep what we have available for dogs in great need, if you need to rehome your dog please contact us as we may be able to assist but do not expect us to simply take your dog.
All of our rescues stay in our home (we do not have a kennel) as members of the family, this way we can get to know them and can provide you with as much information as we can about each dobe's personality and specific requirements if any. We teach them basic manners, obedience and deal with any issues if they have them. We treat them as our own until they are adopted.
Once we receive the completed application, we will check your references and conduct a telephone interview that will allow you to ask further questions. This will assist both of us to decide whether or not the dobe you are applying for would be a match and your home for them. Once you have been approved, you may set up a date to meet the dog, and if the homecheck has been completed, you may take your new member home. Our adoption fee for our dogs is usually between $100.00 and $400.00 unless you are advised otherwise. Our dogs are spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped, receive necessary medical attention and are up to date on vaccines prior to adoption. If a dog is believed to be up to date on vaccines, based on a provided history, we do not re-vaccinate.
Applications are subject to reference checks and a home visit. We reserve the right to refuse any application based on any information and/or the needs of any particular dog. You may not receive an invitation for a phone interview once you submit your application. This is likely due to the fact that we may not have the type of dobe you are looking for, or the dynamics of your home may differ from what a particular dog requires. This could be as simple as you having a cat, where a dog is not good with cats or dogs when a dog is not good with other dogs. Some cases we are looking for something specific for a dog, based on the dog's requirements. It is important to note that if we don't contact you for a phone interview it does not necessarily mean that your application has been denied, it's because we simply can't make a good match for you and/or dog at that time. In those cases we try to forward you to shelters or other locations that may have a dobe available for adoption. We do not contact applicants who's applications are not approved. Please feel free to contact us to confirm either way.
