"We love her as if she were ours, and giving her up will be so hard. My little grandchildren were excited all day today, not because Granny was coming over but because Sasha was coming with her. When we got there Sasha was thrilled to see them. She isn't just good with children, she seeks them out and loves being with them!

If you have a fully fenced and secured yard and are interested in adopting SASHA or any of our dogs, the first step is to complete an Adoption Application at www.sosr.ca/apply-to-adopt so that we can determine whether you and your family are a good match for one of the dogs. If we have a possible match, you would then have a telephone interview, speak to the foster mom, have a home visit by one of our volunteers and vet reference check. Once you have been approved for adoption you can then meet the dog at his foster home. At that time, if you would like to have him as a new family member, you would complete the adoption paperwork and take him home.
