How Much Is That Doggie In The Window?

SCROLL DOWN TO SEE THE PHOTOS OF THE DOGS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY UP FOR ADOPTION

Here are some of the dogs that are looking for a new home to belong to. If you'd like to inquire about adopting one of them, please contact us - we'd be glad to tell you more about them and arrange for you to meet them...

General Information Pertaining to Dog Contracts...

Many people question the cost of adopting a dog, we charge $350.00 for a dog
As a registered charity we are not supposed to make money and we certainly don't.

NOTE: Many of our dogs are injured when they come in and need x-rays,
ultrasounds, expensive surgeries and/or medication which increases the cost significantly.
Since September 2001 we have spent over $300,000 in vet bills. Adoption fees are
necessary for us to continue rescuing these wonderful dogs who otherwise
would end up dead in most cases.

If a dog has already been vet checked before we take it,
then it is not necessary to do the flea treatment or de worm it,
sometimes it is already spayed/neutered, this does not decrease
the cost of the dog, that money goes to the next dog who may need
surgery or expensive medical treatment,
either way your adoption fee remains the same and you can consider
it money well spent.

We have received notification from a few of the main hospitals that give us discounts;
they are increasing our discounted fees. We are struggling as it is to stay
within our budget. Registered charities are required to spend almost all the money
they raise. None of us find that a problem. Because of this new fee schedule we
need to increase our adoption fees. We hope everyone understands we are not
making money here we are just struggling to stay afloat another year.

Effective May 31, 2008 adoption fees for all dogs will be $350.00 fees include spay/neuter and shots
Puppies(fees include spay/neuter, deworming and first shot)

Little Bit

Little Bit is a spunky and cute little girl. Just turning 3 months is
about 7 lbs. She is very terrier like so has lots of energy. Loves to
play with toys and go for walks. Little bit loves to learn and
interact with humans. In a short period of time she has learn sit down
and come. She sleeps through the night and knows to go outside to the
washroom. She is very young so needs to be let out often yet. She has
recently discovered barking, but staying on top of her for that has
kept it under control. She is a strong tempered female so would
probably do best in the house with a male dog or laid back female.

Becky is a sweet, bouncy little girl. She's a 7 month old
Brittany/Golden Retriever cross who is always up for a
game of tag or tug of war. She is very curious
and loves nothing more than to snuggle with a human
on the couch. She is working very hard not to jump
and is great off leash. Becky would benefit from some obedience
as she is very bright and wants to please. Since she is so
energetic Becky would do very well with an active family with older children and a dog.

To inquire about adopting Sammy please call
Nadine

Sammy

Sammy is a 5 (almost 6 years old) Rottweilerx female. She is spayed and vaccinated.
She has lived with the same family since she was 1 year old and was reluctantly
turned over to BARK because of a family crisis.Sammy is a very sweet girl.
She loves people, and also gets along great with the 5 resident dogs
in her foster home, even only after two days. She has had exposure
to children and cats in her previous home and was fine with them.

She loves her balls, and has even been running & tugging with
her foster sisters/brothers. She likes to hold onto her
own toy, but easily puts it down on command. She
really enjoys running around her foster family’s big fenced-in yard!

Sammy is very friendly with all people, and comes to play,
get a rub down, or simply to give you lots of kisses. She is quiet, and rarely barks.

She is completely housebroken and also crate-trained. She is
not destructive in the house and can be trusted loose at night …
she will simply plop on the couch for the night! She is very well behaved in the house.

Sammy loves car rides and travels well in the car either in a
crate or on the back seat. She was quite the hit at the vet hospital
where she went for her vet check and everyone there
commented on what a good, gentle girl she was.

Sammy is still very young at heart and will need a home where
she can be properly exercised. She would do really well with
another dog to play with but could also be in a one dog household.

Sammy is a great dog and will make a great companion!

Ozzie

Meet one year old Ozzie. He is a neutered, shots up to date, Shepherd/Lab
mix who came to Bark as part of a roaming pack of dogs
from a reserve in Northern Quebec. Ozzie has come a
long way from the shy, scared dog who would not come
out of his crate or go outside the house. After only a few days,
he came out of his shell enough to go outside in the
yard once he realized he would be allowed back inside.

Ozzie is house trained and stays in his crate when his foster parent
is away from home. He wines and barks initially but soon settles
down to nap. He likes his walks but it has taken some time
to get him comfortable with the neighborhood and the city. He
is afraid of cars and will sit or lie down when a car approaches
us. I have to time the crossing of busier roads as I am trying to
enlarge his walking territory.

Ozzie gets sick in the car but this could be fear or motion
sickness. Short drives of one kilometer have been successful, but
these have been happy affairs to take a walk without crossing
the busy road. Ozzie plays well with his smaller foster sister
but needs to be monitored as he can get a little rough. He has
learned to sit and willingly goes to bed (in his crate) for
a treat. He will make a wonderful pet as he is very
sweet natured and wants to please.

Only Marigold and one male puppy
are still available for Adoption

k
------------------------ ----------------------Marigold----------------

Nyte

Marigold is one of many dogs rescued from a Northern Quebec Community
during a round up of stray dogs. Two days after rescue Marigold
gave birth to nine beautiful puppies- on November 10, 2011.

Our best guess is that Marigold is an Australian Shepherd/Shepherd mix.
While Marigold is still very fearful (never aggressive), and untrusting
of humans, she is starting to come out of her shell. However, Marigold
will need a very dog-experienced, patient, loving and gentle
adopter, willing to give her lots of time to develop at her own speed.

Marigold’s puppies have varied ancestry, and are gorgeous typical puppies.
They have been in foster care since they were
only one day old, so have experienced none of the trials
and tribulations that their mother experienced. They are
all cuddly, playful, social, and fun loving - typical puppies.

When fully grown they will all be in the range of 70 to 80 pound.
All puppies have been vet checked and have had their first
puppy vaccinations. They will be spayed/neutered at BARK’s
expense when they are old enough.

Sura on left

Sura has been fostered at Dogs at Camp for a few weeks and she
is an amazing dog. We’ve seen her interact with all sorts
of people and dogs and she is very friendly and social. She
loves to play and run with the dogs and get lots of love
from people. She also loves to lie outside
in the sun and just watch whatever is going on. She is a
fantastic dog – quiet, friendly, gentle and loveable!
Sura is spayed and her shots are up to date.

Diego

Diego is a beautiful six-month-old Shepherd/Rottweiler puppy.
While he may be tipping the scales at
70 pounds, Diego is most certainly still a puppy at heart.
He loves nothing more than to play with a toy close to his
favorite people. When he is tired of playing, Diego will simply
plop himself down in your lap and take a nap (size notwithstanding).
Diego is great on walks, and his good manners are readily
apparent when he meets other canines along the way.
Even in the face of a barking, hysterical dog, Diego will simply
sit and calmly wait to play. Diego is great with people as well, although
he can be a bit timid when meeting people inside for the
first time. As he is still a puppy, Diego does have some lingering behavioral issues
regarding playful biting and chewing that we are working on with
good progress. If you are willing to put a little effort
into fine-tuning Diego’s training, you will be rewarded with the most amazing, loving
and loyal dog you could hope for.

Bruno

This is Bruno. He is a one year old male German Shepherd. He is very lovable and will keep you smiling with his goofy temperament. He is very responsive to learning and would be a dream to train. Of course, like all working breeds he will need a home that will provide mental stimulation for him on a daily basis. He is looking for a forever home that is willing to spend the time training him. For the right home, we are willing to provide free training sessions so the transition to his new home goes smoothly. If you think you can give this lovely boy a much needed loving home please contact Deb at scharfgate@sympatico.ca or call me at (613)489-3115
