ADOPTION STEPS
-
Please make sure everyone in your household agrees on adopting a dog. We’ve had applications where we later learned another family member was not on board, after we have spent considerable time corresponding with the applicant.
-
Please complete the application using the button link below. Not all questions apply to every dog - for example, if you’re adopting a nervous or senior dog, we don’t expect you to take them to a dog park.
-
If you’re a good match for the dog, we’ll follow up by email within 3–5 days. We follow this up by a phone call. We can’t contact every applicant individually, but we do keep applications on file and often match families with future dogs this way. If selected, we’ll continue the process with a home visit (in person or virtual) to meet your family and review your home and outdoor space, contact your references, and—if you live nearby—arrange a visit with the dog and their foster family.
-
If approved, we’ll request a $200 deposit to confirm your commitment to adopting the dog.
-
We’ll then arrange a time and place for you to pick up your dog and begin a two-week trial. At pickup, you’ll sign the adoption contract, receive health records, and pay the remaining adoption fee by e-transfer or cash (no personal cheques).
-
If the two-week trial goes well, the dog is officially yours. If it’s not a good fit, you may return the dog and receive a refund minus a $100 donation. This is rare. We’ll register the microchip in your name after the trial period.
-
The adoption fee for our dogs is $750 plus 7% PST. Senior dogs and bonded pairs have lower fees.
AVAILABLE DOGS
SHAHLA
Shahla is a beautiful, sweet-natured young girl. She was rescued at a high kill shelter in California and she is currently available for adoption!
Shahla is approximately 1 1/2 years old and weighs 12 1/2 pounds. She will need regular grooming and is hypoallergenic. We’re not totally sure of her breed, she could be a Havanese poodle mix.
This adorable girl is full of sweetness, affection, and happy-go-lucky charm. She is an affectionate lap dog after she gets her playtime in.
Shahla is a tad shy when meeting new people, but don’t let that fool you! She warms up quickly and soon shows off her loving personality. Once she feels safe, her cheerful nature shines through, and she’s ready to enjoy the good things in life.
One of Shahla’s favourite things is playing gently with her good friend Lavender. These two young girls are like little best friends, happily playing together throughout the day. They share a similar playful, puppy-like spirit and are still enjoying that youthful stage of exploring the world, playing, and even teething! She is quiet and getting the hang of house training.
Shahla would love a home where she can enjoy companionship, playtime, and plenty of affection. If she isn’t adopted with Lavender, she would likely do well with another small dog who has a gentle but playful personality and can keep up with her youthful moderate level energy.
Shahla hasn’t had the easiest start in life. She arrived severely matted and dirty, and she was also battling kennel cough. Thankfully, her kennel cough has resolved, and she’s now eating well, playing happily, and discovering just how wonderful life can be. She’s gaining weight and getting the care she deserves. She did bark at a cat when she met one, it could have been out of excitement.
LAVENDER
At just 1 year old and weighing a tiny 7.4 pounds, Lavender is an absolutely gorgeous little girl with a sweet personality to match! She was rescued from a \high Kill shelter in California.
With her beautiful, soft, wavy coat, she may be a Chihuahua/Spaniel mix, although the shelter listed her as a long-haired Dachshund lol. Whatever her mix, this little sweetheart is simply adorable! Lavender will claim your lap as hers, its definitely a favorite place for her.
Lavender is playful, loving, and friendly with everyone she has met. She has a gentle, happy nature and is a quiet little companion who enjoys life’s simple pleasures, from tasty treats to the occasional game with her fluffy toys.
One of the sweetest things about Lavender is her special bond with her friend Shahla. These two girls are very attached to each other, and staying together would be their dream come true. If they cannot be adopted as a pair, Lavender would love a canine companion who has a gentle but playful approach to making friends.
Lavender would make a wonderful addition to a loving home looking for a small, affectionate, and playful companion. She’s a little package of beauty and sweetness, ready to bring lots of love into someone’s life!
BUNNY
Bunny’s story is one of incredible resilience, and now this precious girl is ready for the happy ending she so deserves!
At just about 2 years old and 16 pounds, Bunny is perhaps a multi poo mix.  She is currently available for adoption and is being fostered in South Surrey.
Bunny has already overcome more than any little dog should ever have to endure. She was found dazed on the streets with a serious eye injury and a suspected brain injury, possibly after being hit by a car. Her injured eye had to be removed, but that was only the beginning of her challenges. After recovering at the shelter Bunny was sadly placed on the euthanasia list.
What appeared to be a stubborn ear infection turned out to be foxtails lodged deep in her ear! Bunny was sedated and had several FoxTails removed by the veterinarian. Thankfully, she received the treatment she needed, and her hearing is fine.
Through it all, Bunny has remained the sweetest little soul.
Bunny is gentle, calm, affectionate, and wonderfully snuggly. She loves being close to her people and has a lovely, easygoing nature. She walks beautifully on leash, moving calmly and gently beside you, making her a lovely companion for leisurely walks and peaceful outings.
She is also very quiet and rarely barks, making her a wonderful potential match for someone looking for a more peaceful companion. Bunny is very friendly with other dogs. Although she isn’t particularly playful yet, she was just beginning to discover the joy of running and playing before she left the shelter. She would occasionally pick up a toy to entertain herself, too. Bunny would be happy as an only dog or living with another friendly canine companion.
Bunny even charmed everyone at the veterinary clinic, where her sweet and friendly personality won over the entire team!
