Adopted - Donna!

Well, our former foster girl from Mexico left us on May 12th, 2012 and doing wonderful in her new home, from early reports.  I wouldn't have expected any different as Donna was the most easy going, lovable little dog we've fostered yet.  So far she's enjoying her daily walks and regular trips to the leash free dog park and her new sister, Zoe, whom she loves to play with.  I will be sure to post updates on Donna in her awesome new home soon.

Donna loves to fetch and play

I love taking lots of pictures as you can see;  I never like missing a moment.  Donna is the most perfect and sweetest foster girl we could have asked for; full of beans but full of love too.  She loves her humans and engaging you in play.  For a girl who was abandoned in Mexico with her babies,

Donna's Adventures - High Park and Harborfront, Toronto

We took Donna to the leash free park for a walk/hike for the first time since she arrived and boy did she ever love it!  She was very attentive to me and looking for me whenever I was out of her sight. She was great on recall as well.  If she got too far ahead, as soon as I called her name, she came running right back to me.  What a good girl she is.  She was very friendly and social with all the dogs at the park and if one became too overwhelming in her face, she would give a correction to let them know.  It was like she had been with us forever, when in reality, she's only been with us a few weeks.

 We also went to Pawsway in good ol' TO for a fundraiser for a very special Mexican Dog named Hule, 'Machete' dog.  Here is a video of Hule's story.  There are many more pictures of the fundraiser for Hule on CANDi's Facebook Page.  A wonderful time was had by all! Although Hule's story has a happy ending and many families have stepped up to offer her a wonderful, loving home, this is not always the case for Mexican dogs.  They need us now. To learn more about the amazing volunteers and rescuers who rescue these precious dogs and provide much needed veterinary care provided through Vidas (International Veterinarians Dedicated to Animal Health)  and  arrange transport to Canada, please go to CANDi (Cat and Dogs International) to see how you can help, even if you can't volunteer as a foster home or transporter, or  'escort'  the dogs from Mexico, they always appreciate money donations of any amount; it all goes directly to help the dogs.  I know this for a fact.  Without us, these dogs have little hope.  Please consider helping any way you can.  

CANDi needs volunteers in the Toronto area and surrounding to help save more Mexican dogs; consider fostering or adopting one of these precious pooches.  They are also in need of much needed monetary donations to help with medical care.  In some cases, it's a lifesaving operation, as is the case with Hule.  Without the countless volunteers and donators, Hule would not have received critical care needed to save her life.  We're so happy that she did and honoured to have met her.  A very Special Dog indeed!

I have a girl...and Donna is her name.  .... Ohhhhhh, Dooooona!, ohhhh Donnna!

Welcome to Canada Donna! 

Donna arrived in Canada on February 25, 2012 and isn't looking back, only forward to a new life and future!

Donna's story:  Donna and her 3 puppies were abandoned and found outside the Humane Society in Cozumel.  This poor girl is just a young pup herself!  Her pups were all adopted out quickly, but poor Donna remained at the shelter.  I'm not sure why because she is the most sweetest and friendliest little girl. If no one in rescue stepped up to rescue Donna, then who knows what fate awaited her.  All I knew is that I couldn't let that happen.

Donna is a Terrier mix (Terrier surprise!)

As you can imagine, when I got the message that Donna was needing out and asking if I would I foster her, I couldn't say no.  My first thought was 'did they name her Donna on purpose?' LOL  I actually responded that if this was by design, then it worked!  I was smitten.  How could I resist this sweet girl who was passed over and not wanted   Why would anyone not want her? 

Donna as we know her so far:  No issues behaviourally that we can see.  She is approximately 15 months old, so puppy like at times; not hyper, but playful and settles nicely.  She's young, healthy and very well behaved.  She listens and responds to us really well.  From looking at Donna, it appears she could be a Yorkie x (possibly with Daschund?) but that's only a guess.  Donna is FULLY vetted and is searching for her new home and family in Canada.  Could you be Donna's new family?
