Caliber's Story

Only applications for adoption in Durham Region will be considered. Any out of area applications will be disregarded. Please see our website for information on our adoption process. Please note that all questions on the application must be answered fully in order to be considered. Meet Caliber or Cal- a lovable, happy 5-year-old who's ready to find his forever family! With his sweet, spirited personality, Caliber enjoys spending time outdoors, whether he's exploring new places, going for walks, running around, or relaxing in the fresh air. Caliber has a playful side and occasionally gets the zoomies, especially when it's time to play or head outside. He enjoys being active and is always up for a game of fetch or some exercise during his walks. Having completed obedience school, he knows a variety of commands, including jumps and other fun exercises, and is happy to perform them when a tasty liver treat is on offer! After some time outside, he's more than ready to head home, relax on his cozy bed, and settle in with one of his favourite durable chew toys - he definitely appreciates one that can keep up with him! Although Caliber is a big boy, hes equally as much of a big softie who loves attention and affection. One of his favourite things is receiving pets and attention from his people. He enjoys being around his family and is always happy to soak up affection. Caliber is both house-trained and crate-trained, making him an easy addition to a new home. He gets along well with other dogs and has done well around both younger and older children. He has a calm temperament and is generally quiet around the house, only barking to let you know when someone new has arrived. Caliber is also surprisingly sensitive to emotions. If someone is crying, he'll often howl along, as though he's trying to offer his support in his own way. His curious nature means he enjoys being included in whatever his family is doing and likes to see what's going on around him. Now, Caliber is looking for a loving home where he can be a cherished member of the family. If you're looking for a loyal, well-mannered companion who enjoys outdoor adventures, relaxing at home, and spending time with his people, Caliber could be the perfect addition to your family. If interested, please complete our application form found at https://animalguardian.org/how-to-help/adopting-a-rescue/adoption-applications/. Applications other than the TAGS form will not be considered.

The Animal Guardian Society's Adoption Policy

Please note that since TAGS is a smaller volunteer program, we are limited to adoptions within the Durham Region area. We encourage those applicants who apply outside of the area to check your local shelters and rescue programs. We are always happy to refer you to a program in your area. The TAGS Adoption Process consists of these steps: Step 1 – The Adoption Application: Whether you are interested in a particular animal already in our rescue program or wish to be considered for any animals that may become available in the future, you must complete the online Adoption Application Form in full. The application gives our volunteers an idea of what you have to offer a rescued animal and also helps to determine which animal will be better suited to your home environment. Applicants are requested to FOLLOW UP the online application submission by EMAIL to confirm their interest. We thank all applicants for their submissions, however only those applicants APPROVED by the TAGS Adoption Committee will be contacted. Step 2 – The Meet & Greet: Upon approval of your application, a TAGS representative will contact you to arrange a Meet & Greet with one or a number of our adoptable dogs. The Meet & Greets are held at the TAGS Dog Park & Training Centre, by appointment, on Saturdays between 11am and 2pm. Step 3 – The Home Visit: The visit consists of a minimum of two trained volunteers bringing the pet to the applicant’s home for a meeting. This gives the applicant an opportunity to see the pet in their home, and to ask further questions. Our volunteers will take this opportunity to get to know your family and your level of experience through a series of questions. Step 4 – The Extended Visit: After a Home Visit has been conducted, we encourage the potential adoptive family to take their time and discuss amongst themselves. Remember, adopting an animal is an important and large decision, and all family members should be in complete agreement. Should the family decide to request the Extended Visit, they must contact us with their request. However, please note that a Home Visit does not automatically entitle a family to an Extended Visit. The volunteers conducting the interview must also be comfortable that the match is suitable. Information gathered during the Home Visit is forwarded to the TAGS Adoption Committee for final approval. The potential adopter will be informed if their request is denied and why. Volunteers may also recommend a more suitable dog at their discretion. During the Extended Visit, the dog will come and stay in the applicant’s home for a number of days in order to determine if it is a good fit. Step 5 – The Adoption Agreement: If the first three steps have been completed successfully, the new owners must attend a mandatory 9 week workshop (dogs only). Once that is completed, the final stage of the adoption process is the signing of an adoption agreement by the adopter and a TAGS representative. Only at this stage is ownership of the animal transferred from TAGS to the adopter, and they are free to begin a happy and life-long relationship. Why We Don't Use Pesticide-Based Flea & Tick Products The health and safety of our animals, customers, and the environment are among our highest priorities. For this reason, we do not use pesticide-based flea and tick products. Many conventional flea and tick treatments contain chemicals that have been associated with adverse reactions, including neurological effects such as tremors and seizures in sensitive animals. Instead, we choose alternative flea and tick solutions that are effective while minimizing health and environmental risks. Our selected products are designed to be safer for pets, do not leave harmful pesticide residues on the animal's coat, and do not shed into the surrounding environment. By avoiding pesticide-based treatments, we help reduce potential exposure risks for people, especially children, while also protecting birds, pollinators, aquatic life, and other wildlife that can be affected by chemical contamination. We believe responsible parasite control should support the wellbeing of animals, people, and the natural world alike. The Adoption Fee includes the following benefits: Veterinary health exam Spay/Neuter (done prior to adoption) Vaccinations appropriate for age Rabies vaccine for all pets 5 months of age and older Microchip Implant and registration Parasite treatment including De-worming 4DX SNAP Screening test Nail trim if needed Dental if needed 9 Weeks of behaviour training classes (dogs only) 7 day in home trial TAGS Adoption Fees Puppies: $899.00 Adult dogs over one year: $799.00 Kittens: $400.00 Cats: $300.00 The fee is to be paid at the time of signing the adoption contract.
