How Much Is That Doggie in the Window?

Our adoption fee is being raised from $600 to $700
effective october 1, 20244.

This is due to a number of things.

Rising costs in Veterinary fees

eg- to spay a 45 lb female at 6 months cost us over $1000

The inability to host large fundraisers
since Covid struck over two years ago
and the fact that we cannot break even
at an adoption fee of $600 anymore.

We are certainly not in the business
of making money no one in rescue
ever went into it hoping to make money.
You do however have to at least break even
to continue to rescue these days.

We hope everyone understands.

Lily

Lily is a German Spits mix from a meat farm in South Korea and is approximately 4 years old. Spayed and vaccinations are up to date. Lil weighs about 25 lbs.
Lily has been in our care for a while now as she is extremely timid and takes a very long time to trust people. Even to this day she is afraid of her foster family. We are able to pet her at times but the body language is still very unsure. She relies a lot on her foster sister, Willow, (dog) she only goes where Willow goes.
She did learn to come to see me (foster mom) when I have eggs for breakfast, meat for super. Or cheese as a snack. Those are her favorites. She loves people food.
Lily walks well on a leash and is 100% potty trained. We never have messes in the house. We do take her camping and for walks in the forest and she is loves it as long as Willow is around. She also loves to meet new dogs. She is good with all animals, cats, rats and guinea pigs.
Lily definitely needs someone who has dog experience and has time and patience to slowly gain her trust. If you are interested in meeting her please be aware that it will not be love at first sight for her. She will need time.
Lily will also need to go to a home with another dog

Priya
6 months old retriever mix

Priya is available for adoption. She was born on March 4th 2024, she is a lab mix weighing about 50 lbs. She is currently in foster care and is looking for her forever home.

From her foster mom:

“Priya” is Sanskrit for “beloved” and this little girl lives to give and receive love! She is incredibly curious and affectionate, and loves a good cuddle. I wake up in the mornings to kisses and love nibbles on my ears.

Priya adapted very well from her former home on a reserve in Manitoba. She settled well into the house, and after a week was completely housebroken. She is very smart and learns commands quickly. Priya knows her name, as well as “sit,” “walk” and “treat.” She is excellent on leash (with a harness) and travels comfortably in the car without fussing.

Priya is a typical puppy in that she wants to nibble on everything (but she knows “drop it”). And because she’s so leggy, it’s easy for her to counter-surf—and she does if anything is not pushed back!

I’ve had her to a fenced, off-leash dog park twice and she was perfectly behaved. Treats in the pocket certainly help with her recall.n

Because Priya is very social with people and dogs, she would do best in a home where she isn’t alone for long stretches of time. Having another dog in the house would also be highly desirable for this girl. A dog-friendly cat might be okay, but she certainly does want to chase every squirrel she sees. Small children aren’t advisable as she is scared of sudden movements. A strange quirk is that she hasn’t yet adapted to doing her business on walks, but she is perfectly trained to go in the backyard. As such, a fenced yard is a must.

Priya is going to make a fabulous companion for her future humans and doggy sibling(s)!

Please contact Romana Turrell at romanamagnum@gmail.com for information on the adoption process.
