About Carol
Carol is a super sweet, amazingly well behaved dog. She learns very quickly, and loves attention!
Carol is friendly with other dogs, but needs proper, slow introductions. She is nervous around new people and can get territorial of new people in her home. On walks she cautiously approaches new people and with patience warms up to them well. Older children are recommended.
Carol loves her walks and you would never know she has a hip issue. She has excess bone growth on her femoral head, which could cause pain in the future. At this time she does not require any surgery or daily medications.
Carol is able to dictate her own exercise as well. However, she will likely develop osteoarthritis in her hip and she could need surgery down the road. Her adopter must be prepared to continue her care and monitor her exercise.
Trained to sleep in the crate at night. She doesn’t really like it during the day as she just wants to be with her people. She loves her toys and can be found tossing them around the house. When not playing she’s in her favourite dog bed, napping.
Can pull on leash at times as she has a very high prey drive wanting to chase squirrels or cats. No small animals in the house preferred.
A family that has someone home most of the time would be great as she does experience some separation anxiety.
Adoption Fee | $500
Adoption fees help cover the costs associated with rescue, such as vetting, boarding, and transportation.
Prior to adoption, dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and 4Dx tested, and they receive any necessary treatment. After adoption, they are eligible for one month of free pet insurance.
For more information about adoption fees, please review our Adoption FAQs & Fees page.
Why We Love Fostering
-
I love fostering because it's a great feeling knowing that I am helping dogs find their forever homes. Knowing that they are coming from shelters where they may never be seen, and helping them get adjusted to a home in Canada is an amazing feeling. Since I travel a lot, fostering allows me to get my doggie cuddles and nature hikes without the stress of owning one.
