Aldo's Story

Aldo is an approximately 2-3 year old chihuahua that was hit by a car in 2023 and left at the side of the road. He was so lucky to be found by a caring person who rushed him to the vet to help him. Amazingly he did not have any broken bones. Once recovered from his wounds, he needed help learning how to walk again but unfortunately did not have access to supported recovery, so he learned to drag himself around to move from place to place. This resulted in skin wounds and injuries. Since being with Mountainside, Aldo has been learning to walk and not drag. He has gone through rehabilitation to build up the strength in his hind end which was completely atrophied. With love and care from his current foster, he is encouraged to walk and is getting much stronger. He loves people so much as well as other dogs and cats. Aldo is learning to play with his friends and very much enjoys being a lap dog wherever possible. His favourite moves are chin and belly rubs.

Mountainside Hope Foundation's Adoption Policy
Potential adopters are required to submit an adoption application answering a series of questions. The adoption coordinator will go through the applications and determine whether an applicant can move forward to the interview process. If the applicant has had or currently has any animals, we will conduct a vet reference. The adoption coordinator will go back and forth with any questions for the candidate and then book an interview with the applicant once everything is satisfactory. After the interview process, if the adoption coordinator is satisfied, we will send the adoption contract to the candidate for review, signature and payment.
