Welcome to Dhana Metta

Bouwman is about 17 weeks old, his mommy was a Great Pyrenees, and his daddy we are guessing was a Shepherd.  Bouwman is a sweet BIG puppy, and is very attached to his humans, even though it is obvious that they weren’t always so nice to him.  When I walk Bouwman, he sticks to my leg like glue, he heels even though he was never taught to do so.  He is great with other dogs, big and small, but would rather be with people (for now).  Once he gains more confidence, I am sure he will play with the other dogs, and do what dogs do.

Bouwman was a farm puppy, and does not understand house training yet.  He is still hesitant with stairs as well, but he does them, while whining all the way up and all the way down.  Bouwman would be good with children, however toddlers and small children could be a bit small for this large, clumsy puppy.  He is a gentle giant, tries to jump on me, but understands that it isn’t allowed.

I just started crate training Bouwman – so we could get his house training on the go.  He howled for about 3 hours the first 2 nights, and that gets less and less as we continue.  I am sure he will learn to love the crate as his safety zone, and go in willingly on command in no time.  He is a smart dog, with willingness to please…

Bouwman will be neutered, fully vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea treated prior to adoption.  His adoption donation is $395.00

An adoption application and home visit is required.  You can email us adoptionsdmrs@yahoo.ca to request an application or download one from the “Adoption Process” page of this site.  Bouwman would also really love a foster home until he finds his forever home, if you can open your home and heart to him temporarily, please contact us!!

Jackson is a teeny tiny Miniature Pinscher with a Big Heart!!  He is about 2 years old.  Yes, he is very small and very cute!  But please don’t apply for him just cause you want a “cute little dog”.  Jackson has a very sensitive stomach and needs to be on a very strict diet.  One of high quality, lower protein food, no rawhides, or artificial type treats either.  He does best if fed 3 smaller meals per day.

Jackson’s house training came along beautifully.  He is a little love dog, but coddling this sweetheart will bring back his separation anxiety – so he needs humans that are able to balance love, with discipline.  He is crate trained, and should sleep in his crate at night, not in  your bed….especially for at least the first year of life with new people.

No little children for Jackson please!  He is fine with other dogs, still has a little attitude with the bigger dogs, and is fine with cats.

Dexter is an approximately 1 year old Lab possibly Dane or Pit Bull mix. He was found as a stray in a remote part of Chilliwack. When his rescuers found him he was very thin and dirty and had no identification-not even a collar. It was clear after bringing him home that he had never been inside a house.

Dexter is very grateful to his rescuers for saving him and giving him some much needed love and attention.  He has now been neutered, vaccinated and de-wormed and is at a healthy weight. Dexter is a sweet and gentle dog who loves everyone he meets including cats, other dogs, and children.

He is good off leash and loves going for long walks everyday at the dike where he meets many doggy friends to play with. Although he is young, he not hyper and is eager to please his human companions, he would probably enjoy and excel in obedience classes.  Dexter is ready to find his forever home, for more information or to fill out an adoption application, please email Keira at freedom19@live.ca.  Dexter’s adoption fee will be $300. A home visit is required.

Jamee is a 5 year old Standard Dachshund.  She was surrendered by her owners they said they just didn’t have time for her.  Jamee should be an only dog, as she is very needy.  She is jealous of other dogs that try to also get attention from her human.  With consistency, boundaries and proper training – she could learn to share.  But this takes time and owners who are diligent and patient.  Jamee would also prefer a home without small children.

She is still fairly high energy, a little overweight, needing exercise and a proper training regiment.  She should not be spoiled as this will just enable her behavior.  She does have a little separation anxiety, so a home instead of apartment, condo or townhome would be more suitable for her.

She is a beautiful dog, and with the right owner, she will make a wonderful companion.  Jamee is also seeking a foster home until she finds her forever home.

Sorry about the blurry photo, she just wouldn’t stand still LOL.  Jamee’s adoption fee is $450.  She is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, flea treated and had a full dental.
