Speaking of Dogs Rescue Program is a Canadian registered charity.

Meet Roy

Roy is a 10 year old Pomeranian and Chihuahua mix currently being fostered in the Waterloo area. He has a  beautiful black and sable coat with a fluffy tail that never stops wagging. He weighs about 10 pounds and is a neutered male. He was surrendered to a shelter by his owner. He was given a complete medical work up by our vet including a heart ultrasound. He is up to date with vaccines and has had a dental which resulted in the removal of most of his teeth. Roy has been diagnosed with collapsing trachea and is on medication for this condition. Roy is good with other dogs but a little too interested in cats and female dogs for their liking although he will respect their boundaries. He is good with visitors and older children and has shown no aggression to animals or people. Roy eats wet food and is housetrained. He goes outside for bathroom breaks and will also use a pee pad in the house. Roy walks well on the leash and enjoys exploring the fenced backyard. He is not destructive and can be left alone for several hours in the home. He can go up and down stairs on his own. He has not been crate trained. He enjoys snoozing on a dog bed or on the people bed at night. Roy is not a treat or toy guy but enjoys pets and cuddles. Roy’s best home scenario would be a house or apartment with owners who are retired, work part time or from home. Roy has put his past behind him to become a happy, friendly little man. He is a very sweet boy who is accepting of new situations and certainly deserves a fabulous next chapter.  Roy, Roy, he's our best boy! 

Adoption Process
We have applicants fill out a questionnaire, we do a phone interview, and if things go well we do a home check. If that goes well we arrange for the person to meet the dog in the presence of one of our volunteers. If that goes well and all parties are happy and it's the right fit, we have the person sign an adoption contract. We spay/neuter, vaccinate, and microchip all dogs prior to adoption. Also, the contract states that if in the future they can't keep the dog that they must return the dog to us. Our adoption fee is $450.
