Dio's Story

Location: Edmonton, AB <br/>Age: Approx 2 years old <br/>Sex: Spayed female <br/>Energy Level: Medium <br/>Dogs: Yes! <br/>Cats: Yes! <br/>Kids: Not tested, but likely ok<br/>Vetting: Up to date on vaccines<br/><br/>🐶 Once upon a time, Dio lived her life at the end of a chain. But those days are long behind her, and this brave, beautiful girl is busy discovering what it means to be a loved family dog — and honestly, she’s absolutely thriving. 🌟<br/><br/>Dio is a medium-energy, walk-loving, people-adoring little lady. If you enjoy neighborhood strolls and being greeted with pure joy every time you meet someone new, she’s your girl. The only time she pulls on leash is when she spots a 🐇 “fast-moving fluffy thing of mystery” — otherwise, she’s a delight to walk. 💛<br/><br/>Inside the home, Dio has embraced all the cozy comforts she missed out on. She’s house trained, sleeps soundly through the night (preferably snuggled right next to her human), and gets along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and humans of all sizes. Her foster mom says she’s “so sweet and lovable… she’s perfect.” And honestly? We believe it. ✨<br/><br/>And here’s the best part — Dio has been working hard on her manners! Shoes are officially off the menu, and she now happily directs all that chewing energy into her favorite chew toys like a very good girl. 🦴 She’s learning what’s hers, and she’s proud of it.<br/><br/>She’s also discovered something new that she absolutely loves: car rides! 🚗 Whether it’s an adventure or a quick errand, Dio is happy to hop in and go along for the ride.<br/><br/>Because Dio spent so much of her early life without companionship, she would truly thrive in a home with another dog buddy to play with and learn from. She loves toys, playtime, walks, and soaking up affection like a little love sponge.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal best friend who will adore you endlessly, Dio is ready to start her happily-ever-after. 💛 She’s survived a tough beginning — now she deserves a future full of love, comfort, and adventure.<br/><br/>✨ If you would like to chat more with us about Dio and set up a meet and greet, please complete an application on our website and one of our volunteers will be in touch:<br/>https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form

Ruff Start Rescue Society's Adoption Policy
Adoption Process Step 1: Browse Our Adoptable Animals Take your time reading each dog’s profile carefully to see who may be the best fit for your home, lifestyle, and experience. Step 2: Submit an Application Complete our online adoption application as thoroughly as possible. The more detail you provide, the better we can make thoughtful and appropriate matches. Step 3: Application Review A team member will review your application and reach out via your preffered method to arrange a phone interview to learn more about your home and answer questions. Step 4: Meet & Greet If your application is approved, we’ll schedule a meet-and-greet. This is a chance to spend time with the animal and ask questions. Afterward, everyone goes home to “sleep on it” before making a decision. Step 5: Home Check A home check is required for every adoption. This ensures your space is safe and ready for your new pet. Step 6: Reference Calls We will complete reference checks before moving forward to the next step in the process. Step 7: Trial Period (Optional) Families with resident pets or children may request a one-week trial adoption. A $200 deposit is required and will be applied to the adoption fee if the trial is successful. Step 7: Finalization When everyone agrees it’s the perfect match, we’ll finalize the adoption contract. That’s when your new family member officially comes home!
