Please visit our Freedom Dog Boarding page on this website

___________________________

Please Note: We have a No Kill Policy in effect here at my acreage and any wonderful Friends homes who help me out with this many dogs. We only offer adult dogs for Adoption that can go on to be Faithful and Loving Companions in a perfect, carefully chosen home. Dogs with Physical or Mental Problems live out their lives here. None are euthanized because of Physical/Mental Problems or Older Age like so often happens elsewhere. Vet Fees are often over whelming each month to ensure all dogs are cared for with love and compassion. Any monies brought in by selling puppies is how we care for all the dogs. Food, Vets etc. etc. It is never enough money.

All of the best, humane, caring, Dog Rescues and SPCA's when you apply to adopt a dog, you must fill out their Adoption Application. WE ARE THE SAME. Sadly, you may be a perfect home for one of our dogs or a dog from a Dog Rescue/SPCA but refuse to fill out an Adoption Application.

Please read this entire page before applying to Adopt one of our Adult Dogs. Use the "Contact Us" page for us to send you an "Adoption Application" to fill out and return.

PLEASE READ this paragraph to see specifically what we require to adopt an adult dog:

(1) We are looking for only retired or else stay at home Adults. STILL ACTIVE people, able to take the dog on a long walks daily, year round.

(2) MOST DOGS, NO CHILDREN IN THE HOME, especially when first adopted as these dogs are not used to children, so we do not know how a dog will react to children. Once they have "Bonded" with their new home and their new people, they seem fine with smaller, visiting children who respect a dogs space.

Some other dogs may be "No Children" under 12 yrs old in the home when first adopted if they are used to children already.

(3) Absolutely must have a good sized, securely fenced back yard that leads directly off the back door of the house, with fence and also gates a minimum 5 feet high. No dog runs, must have access to the entire yard. Not a shared yard with other people. No exceptions. Let me repeat, NO EXCEPTIONS. No Yard, No Dog. And yes, we do send someone to check out your backyard.

Sylvie is a gentle young lady

SYLVIE

I will remove this ad when she finds a new forever home.

$400

Sylvie was born on August 23/2025 so is 9 months old. She weighs 10 lbs.

Sylvie: This Maltese / Yorkie Girl with the rare Silver color has hair, not fur. So very easy to brush out and trim.

Non Shedding, Spayed so the new owner does not have to pay to have it done, Microchipped so the new owner does not have to pay to have it done, plus 4 way Vaccinations and Deworming are up to date. 100% healthy little girl who is considered full grown.

Sylvie is a rather shy little girl until she gets to know a person. Once Bonded with her new people she will be your little shadow, following you everywhere. You never have to wonder where Sylvie is, just look behind you. Not a dog for a busy, noisy home as we feel she would be overwhelmed.

Well house trained but we have a doggie door so she will need to learn to ask to go out. Very intelligent so will learn quickly with some gentle guidance from her new people. She is also well pee pad trained.

She loves to sleep on my bed but is also okay in her own doggie bed.

We will work closely with the person(s) adopting Sylvie.

Our Adoption Contract points out that if you cannot or will not keep a dog permanently, the dog has to be returned to me.

Thank You.

Daryl. Loves to play.

DARYL

I will remove this ad when she finds a new forever home.

$400

Daryl was born on January 15/2025 so is only 1 and a half yrs old. She weighs 14 lbs.

This Snow White Girl is Non Shedding, Spayed so the new owner does not have to pay to have it done, Microchipped so the new owner does not have to pay to have it done, plus 4 way Vaccinations and Deworming are up to date. 100% healthy girl.

Daryl loves attention. It only took Daryl 10 minutes to learn to play fetch. She is excited to join in with anything we are doing.

Since a puppy, Daryl as always stood up on her hind legs and literally danced when you talk to her.

Well house trained but we do have a doggie door so she will need to learn to ask to go out. Very intelligent so will learn quickly with some guidance from her new people. She is also pee pad trained.

We will work closely with the person(s) adopting Daryl.

Our Adoption Contract points out that if you cannot or will not keep a dog permanently, the dog has to be returned to me.

Thank You.

ADOPTING AN ADULT DOG

No guess work in adopting an Adult Dog. Already house trained and already full grown so you know the adult size. An adult dog is past the puppy stage of chewing on everything.

They are Spayed/Neutered, Microchipped, Vaccinations/Deworming up to date and Grooming up to date as well. Unless our Vets determine they do not need full Dentals, they also have very costly Full Dentals done. Full Dentals already done are a huge savings for Adopters.

You will know what to expect with a cherished adult dog as I will work closely with you on the adult fitting into it's new (your) home. Adult dogs need love too even if no longer puppies. Don't pass up an adult dog because of age. They need a loving home too.

They are my own dogs, with a few being here to be Ree-Homed or were Rescued.

Please use the “Contact Us” page on this website so I can send you the application to Adopt one of these precious dogs.

PLEASE NOTE: If we do not respond in 2 days, we may not have received your request for the Adoption application so please try again.

We delete all applications after a dog has found a new home. Everyone can submit a new application for a different dog if they wish too.

You understand that an Adult dog going to a new home requires minimum 90 days to fully bond with a new home and new owners. You understand an adult dog is a “High Flight Risk” until fully bonded to its new home and new owners and that you must take precautions, so it does not escape.

*You understand that we “Do Not Deliver” or “Ship A Dog” and that you will have to come to Bonnyville, Alberta for the dog.

Thanks everyone from The Adoption Team

Now for the most serious thing that makes me choke up and begin crying just writing these words when it comes to adopting out my precious adult dogs. I trusted the wrong people in 2021.

MAGGIE: Adopted out in 2021 to someone who did not listen and let little, 8 pound Maggie get out of his front door. Never followed protocol in finding a lost dog. Maggie found deceased 5 days later in the city of Edmonton. Maggie did not deserve to suffer and die. If a person is adopting an adult dog, please listen to instructions on keeping the dog safe until it has time to bond with you.

NINA: Adopted out in 2021 to someone who did not listen and let little, 9 pound Nina escape from her NOT SECURELY FENCED backyard. Expert dog trackers were brought in to track her in the city of Leduc. After searching for weeks, Nina is deceased. Nina did not deserve to suffer and die. If a person is adopting an adult dog, please listen to instructions on keeping the dog safe until it has time to bond with you.

Maggie and Nina Lost and Deceased. Don't Adopt an Adult dog if your not going to keep them safe.

I wish to thank the many people who have assisted me with Rescues in the past.

This Photo Collage shows just some of our many Dog Rescues. Over the years, I was also involved in the Rescue of an abused Donkey, a rejected newborn Wild Boar, many Neglected/Abused/Injured Calves, Horses, Cats, Dogs, an injured Eagle, injured Hawks, Magpies, Crows, and have assisted people financially with food for their animals, Veterinary costs, etc.

Unlike my own dogs I retire from my breeding program who get to go to new homes, Domestic Rescues of all types are a different story as they can sometimes be hard to place in new homes.

Shown in the Collage.

Elderly Black dog on the top left: Scheduled to be Euthanized as no longer wanted. Elderly and in frail health she was unadoptable. But let me tell you, she had several happy months here on my acreage before it was time to say Goodbye.

Black Puppy on top right: From a Puppy Mill that was going to dump her to an unsuspecting buyer on the Internet. With help from friends, we took her in as she was sickly, full of worms and needed surgery for an injury that appeared to be caused by being forcefully hit with a blunt object. Once healthy, surgeries done including spayed she found a wonderful home. Thanks Megan for adopting her.

White dog on bottom left: Unwanted, unloved, uncared for, this dog had become Neurotic to the point he chewed on his own body until he had bleeding sores. I picked him up before they took him out and disposed of him. As you can see, he is healthy and happy in his new home. Thanks Terry and Ann for adopting him and giving him a loving, forever home. NOTE: He had been returned to me after the first failed adoption.

Creame Dog on bottom right: I did not use my pictures of her the day she came to my home. Because she was nothing but skin and bones, starved almost to death. Her face swollen to 4 times its size with infection. I cannot look at those pictures without crying. Blessings to Peter and Deb for adopting her.

Thank You everyone who adopts one of my own dogs or a Rescued dog, all Rescued animals from me. Thank you.
