Oliver ~ Our Featured Dog of the Week!

Oli is a young male, approximately 1-2 years old who is a ton of fun to be around! He loves to be outside, so would be perfect for an active family who enjoys jogging, walking, hiking, camping, etc. Oli also loves to play ball!

Oliver is house trained and settles right in to his crate when it is bed time. He comes when he is called and has recently learnt how to sit and shake a paw! Oliver gets along well with other dogs and of course enjoys being around his people.

Meet Teddy - Available for Foster or Adoption!

Meet Teddy!

I am a blonde cocker puppy at just 8 months old and a little love bug! I get along well with other dogs and love to be around my people. I have a lot of energy because I am still a puppy so my new parents should have a lot of time to spend with me playing, exercising and giving me attention!

I have been in training with one of WCCR's trainers and am now potty trained, I can sit, lay down, stay, go to my mat, fetch and retrieve! I am a very smart boy and love to learn and impress!

Check out this video which shows what I have been learning over the past week.

I am currently in boarding with WCCR and would love nothing more than to be in a home environment where I can learn and love you!

Chopper

Chopper is in need of a nice foster home. He is a wonderful older boy and there is nothing more that we would love than for him to be in a loving home environment with love and positive energy around him. 

Chopper was rescued from the Surrey Animal Shelter. This is his story:

We were contacted by email over the Christmas Holidays by a shelter worker named Shanna who was doing her VERY best to save this sweet boy's life... "Chopper" as he was endearingly named by the shelter gals at Surrey Municipal Animal Shelter (on 67th & 152nd St) came in as a stray over the Christmas holidays. He is obviously a little older and over weight and had no id on him..they feel he may have been a possible owner dump due to a few medical issues that have come to light.

Bonnie took a drive out to the shelter to meet him and I have to tell you it was all she could do to NOT take him with her that day...but she bought him a little time. As they were shaving him down, they found a massive lump on his rear end..and his anal glands were in bad shape and needed treatment.. I can confidently say that a lot of this is the result of neglect and poor quality food and possibly he even has some thyroid issues..all of which are not that big of deal..trust me we have rescued dogs from LA shelters in far worse shape ( Noelle being the most recent). The shelter is under contract with specific vets in the area and have been quoted approx $1000 to do the surgeries necessary to give him the "quality" of life they feel is necessary... They DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDING ($1000.) to carry out the treatment that Chopper requires. We had been told in no uncertain terms that Chopper WOULD BE EUTHANIZED if he could not be helped.

So, we set up a chipin for Chopper and within 24 hours, we raised the required $1,000 needed for Chopper's surgeries, and then some! Thank you to all who donated!!

Chopper had his surgeries and all went well.  He is in great health and just a little love bug!
He is happy and full of energy and doing very good! 

If you are able to open your heart and home to Chopper, please fill out our online adoption application.  Thank you!
