Louise and Oz, two dogs who became seniors under our roof, have been adopted.

It was a very special day at the shelter this Saturday with two unexpected adoptions.

Oz, our 10-year-old Malinois, was adopted after nearly 6 years spent at the shelter.

Louise, the 11-year-old Rottweiler, was also adopted, after 5 years of waiting.

Oz and Louise were, for a long time, “invisible” dogs; in 5 years, they received hardly any inquiries. Knowing that they will rediscover the warmth of a home, after so many years without one, is what truly gives meaning to our mission.

It’s a huge change for them, a transition they will have to adjust to at their own pace, but what a beautiful adventure lies ahead for them! And on our side, we can’t wait to hear how they settle into their new home… It will also bring comfort to their caregivers and volunteers, who will miss them dearly.

Thank you to the adopters who were able to see beyond the years, the scars, and the waiting.
