Please Note

All of our adoptions require a home check from one of our volunteers.

Therefore we only adopt out to Greater Vancouver (Lower Mainland) and Victoria.  Thank you.

Please read each dog's bio in its entirety to ensure your home meets the criteria for the dog BEFORE applying.

Rescue Story

Billy along with his brother and sister came from chain pet shops that sell puppies in Taiwan.  Billy’s father dog is a Maltese Shih Tzu Mix and mother dog is a Poodle.  The two puppy mill dogs bred accidentally and their offspring, crosses in Taiwan are considered not commercially valuable.  Luckily one of the pet shop staff stepped in to help these puppies before they got destroyed.  Billy is still teething and mouthing when excited so he’s not suitable to go to a household with young children.  Because he’s a puppy and would get into mischief if not supervised, he’s looking for a patient and experienced family with someone at home most of the time.  He also needs to work on housetraining, leash manners, and basic obedience.  He’s looking for a home with a secured fence yard.  Billy is the largest amongst his siblings and the most easy-going.  He loves to give people kisses and asks for belly rubs.

If you are interested in adopting Billy please fill out an application. We will ask for pictures of your current pets (if any) and your house inside and outside upon receipt of your application.

Please consider Billy, for your new addition. There is a $500 adoption fee (bank deposit and e-transfer only) which goes to help cover only a portion of each dog's medical and transport expenses. A home check will also be required because we do want to be sure that each dog goes to an environment suited to them. Please note that we don't have shelter facility in Canada, so please consider carefully again before this adoption.
