Adoptable !!

And the long awaited update on Maisy...

Will she be an impossible dog to place?
I really hope not!

Thank you to everyone who donated to her large multiple vet bills. She was a very expensive case and its been a long road.

This girl has been through literally hell and back and she is still healing from her final operation where she had a growth removed from her leg and was spayed. As a 9 year old dog the spay was harder on her and she had a rough few days post op but she is feeling much spunkier now.

As a refresher..

Maisy joined us 5+ months ago through local Animal Control after she was found in a rural area mauled by dogs/coyote.

When she was brought to the vet... the wounds were so many and so open they suggested euthanasia may be the right option

Maisy had other plans. I could see it in her eyes she wanted a chance to fight- so we fought

That night whatever wounds could be closed up were closed up. Everything was cleaned and shaved. We got her on a strong antibiotic and pain management plan and began the tedious process of open wound management.

I'd be lying if I said everything went smoothly. But despite the blood, swear and tears... we came out on top. A few times her behavior was a struggle for me she was very painful and very frustrated. Cones, muzzles, sedation, wound debridement...
With multiple vet trips, bacterial cultures, baths, wound scrubs, honey treatments... I spent hours upon hours days upon days caring for this silly hound dog and watching her true personality come to life too.. and a couple times the little stinker bit me too.
I am not mad. I would have too after what she went through.

Maisy is a special dog. Shes quirky and can be kinda bitchy too. I dont know where she came from or what kind of life she had before but im certain she didn't recieve much affection and she had no idea what toys are or bones or chews. As she is figuring out her new pampered princess life she has shown a couple minor behavioral issues that need to be mentioned in order to find her the proper home. She needs a cautious owner who doesn't want to give too much affection too soon. She needs a home thats willing to just have a dog hang out and be a dog. No kids to bug her. No dogs to bug her. Just a porch. A grassy patch to lay.

Maisy doesnt like to be bothered when she is eating or sleeping. She will snap to bite if you touch her when she has a bone. She feels bad afterwards but she'll do it again the next time lol. Or if shes asleep and you startle her she would nip. Making a home with kids a big fat no..kids outside playing are fine but better not in her space.
She has nipped me a number of times and hasn't drawn blood once... but I have also pushed her limits more recently now that shes healed up to fairly assess her. She is.. touchy. But shes also hilarious and really a gentle loving dog.

I dont feel she is "unadoptable" with these very common walker hound traits. Shes a senior dog and can easily be managed in the right home. Just don't pet her when she's eating or trying to have a nap.
She does enjoy a good bum rub and belly scratch. She likes affection on her terms. She loves walks and has no mobility limitations with her age at this time she can go go go.
Shes a great watch dog and companion. She is easy to muzzle for nail trims etc.

Her best suited home is rural. As the only dog. She ignores cats but seems to really be defensive around other dogs and has zero desire to make dog friends after what she went through. She isnt generally reactive either. Just ignores if she sees a dog on a walk she wants to smell everything.

Maisy is officially AVAILABLE for adoption to the right home

Her adoption fee is $350 which will include a full box of her heartworm/flea tick prevention for the summer/fall

Interested in giving her a forever home? Email an application to [email protected]

Shes fully vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, spayed and microchipped.

Just needs her people to find her

Start of April we welcomed Snickers and his 2 brothers who are both now adopted

Snickers had 2 different home potentials but unfortunately both of them did not work out (NO FAULT OF HIS!)

The first family had a senior smaller dog who just didnt want to adjust. We tried but he let us know it wasn't the right fit.

The 2nd family decided his breed mix was just not for them the day before he was set to go home. (After completing the entire adoption process.....)

So we are reposting this good boy Snickers who is now officially available for adoption!

Available for adoption !!

NOVA
Age: 3 Years
Breed: Boston Terrier
Size: Small
Weight: 20 lbs

Adoption Fee: $650

This beautiful little girl joined us late last year after her owner tragically passed away. Her owners mom tried to take care of her but she proved to have too much energy, and also living in an apartment she was barking when alone and causing grievences with the neighbours.

When she reached out asking for help despite being quite full right now, we knew that we had a suitable foster for this little girl so we were able to say yes - helps that we have a soft spot for this breed. They're really cute and so comical and great little dogs.

Fosters change everything - thanks so much, Rawnie!

The day we picked her up she was so nervous she growled and hid behind the only human she trusted. Fast forward to today she's warmed up to many new people and kids. She's settled in with a foster family and made some dog friends - slowly showing her true Boston Terrier self and its so nice to see her feeling comfortable and safe and not scared and defensive.

It's time now to find her the best forever home where she can have lots of play time and maybe another young dog to play with. We had a lot of interest in her initially but the meet and greets with other dogs didnt work out.

It's apparent that Nova has lacked some structure in her life and has had minimal exposure to new things. She's going to be a much more well rounded dog with an adopter who's willing to push her outside of her comfort zone and take her on all kinds of adventures. Like her fosters have :)

Here's what her foster mom said about her:

She's got springs for feet, and a Great Dane appetite. Will hoover up anything she can reach; counter, lap, table and floor. She's still working on jumping up and into your face. She walks really good, but she does bite and chew the leash and she pulls at times.

She has a terrier prey drive and thinks she can fly, so she goes after birds outside! She loves to snuggle and being near people. She is very vocal when she plays tug and with toys, bit of a bully with the senior Min Pin in the home. Better suited likely as the only dog or with evenly matched male dog energy.

Here is what we know so far;

✔️ Good with kids (10+)
✔️ Good with dogs
✔️ Good with dog-savvy cats (but not to be trusted alone)
✔️ Fenced yard ideal
✔️ Very food motivated

Best suited in a home where someone is home vs working long hours

She is be UTD on her vaccines, and she is already spayed and on all appropriate preventions. An adoption application needs to be sent directly to Sato Saved via email at [email protected], and the document can be found here;

**Please note that ALL adoptions are finalized in Brantford, ON.

Lois would really love a forever home of her own

We need more local foster families for large breed puppies/young dogs

Willing to spend time training pups?

Got a secure yard and time to give?

Many of our pups are completely vetted under a year but over 6 months so it seems they aren't as "cute" or "exciting"

We want to help more but cant without committed fosters!
