Every Life Matters

Poppy Adopted!

Poppy Adopted!

It had to happen sooner or later, and it's a mystery to us why it's taken so long for Poppy to find her permanent home, with Leo.  One of the very first residents at the Sanctuary, she was mange-ridden starving puppy who grew into one of the most trusting and loving dogs here.  You can read more about her on her profile page here.  

Leo visited several times with his other dog to make sure the fit was right, and we couldn't be happier (if a little sad to see her go!) that she has a chance of a life outside the Sanctuary. So long Poppy, enjoy your new buddy Kiwi and your new name, Lemon!

Jonathan’s Tribe

Jonathan's Tribe

As well as great physical and mental exercise (for the walkers too!), taking dogs out on the lead outside the Sanctuary gets our rescues better prepared for that new life when they get adopted. Some dogs don't need leads, and walk with us wherever we go. This is Jonathan's tribe - every Wednesday he completes 5 or 6 walks in the company of TinTin, Phoenix and Bella. They bound ahead and clear the way while Jonathan and the lead-bound dog follow on behind. It's just possible that they are the best exercised dogs in the Province, as they are there on EVERY walk!

Here are some of today's walked dogs out having fun in the woods behind the Sanctuary.   If you are local, and can COMMIT to a regular time slot each week for months on end, then get in touch with us to see about becoming a DAS Volunteer.

Look into my eyes and tell me you don’t want to adopt me?

We've kept quiet about Poppy, as to be honest, it will break our hearts to see her find a new home, but there is almost no dog more deserving of a loving family than Poppy.

Poppy

She has the sweetest nature, enjoys walks, loves tummy scratches, and would make a wonderful addition to a caring family, especially one where she will be the only dog.  Make her feel safe and loved, and she will repay you twice over.  Please get in touch if you can't say no to those eyes.
