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

Becky was in and out of a high kill shelter in Taiwan several times before being rescued by our volunteer:

http://www.savedogs.org/forum/article_view.html?f_no=34151

Becky doesn't have food aggression toward humans - no reaction towards people stepping on her plate when eating.  Becky bites hard when taking treats and needs to learn taking treats gently. She is food driven and treats motivated.  Children are not recommended to feed her before she is properly trained.  She is looking for an active home that will provide her exercise to help with weight management.  She focuses all her attention on people and loves to be petted on the head and stomach.  She doesn’t like to play and socialize with other dogs so one-dog household is a must.  Becky is attached to her human and she’s a sweet company to keep.

If you are interested in adopting Becky 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 Becky, for your new addition. There is a $400 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.
