INTRODUCING…

Our foster children 💛

Up until today, we have had a separate account for our foster kids from . We have decided to move all of our foster dog content to this page.

I’m not going to lie, it is mainly to make it easier on me, so that I have one less account to run. Another main factor for starting Tango’s HQ were my clients. The rescue world is not for the faint of heart, but recently, I feel more and more that it is important for the world to know what goes on in the day to day life of the humans behind the scenes of rescue.

Going forward, not only will my page show the day-to-day life of my dogs and the dogs that I am so lovingly trusted with by their families, but also the dogs that are looking to be given the type of life that our dogs currently have.

If you have any questions about this, about being a part of the rescue world, anything to do with the business or Tango’s Lead, please do not hesitate to send me a message. I will always advocate for the underdogs and I encourage you to do the same!

So without further ado, meet Kiya, General, Reese and Elsie; our foster kids 💛

Any other multi dog homes cry over the life your dogs have or is it just me?

Of course, I always want more for my dogs, I want them to have the most. I see them all together and can’t help but think of where we started. I never saw myself being a mom/co-mom/auntie to a household of 8 dogs. I never saw my dogs being able to have this many friends, this big of a family. I’m proud of my dogs.

*This is not the reality for many multi dog homes. Crate and rotate is necessary, even for our dogs sometimes. We have the ability to do this but know it’s not possible for everyone and that’s okay!!

Happy heavenly birthday Boog 💛

I can’t put into words just how much I miss you. The world’s so different without you by my side.

A week ago marked the 4 year anniversary of a life changing event.

One night around 3am, when heading home from work in Toronto, I was driving on the 401 in the fast lane. While going around 120km/hr, I hit a coyote that was running toward me on the 401. Not only did it essentially write off my 3 month old car, but it also turned the car sideways as a transport truck was coming up behind me. Thankfully, even with all the damage, my car was able to get myself and the pup I had with me, safely off the road.

After 10 weeks off I work while I recovered, I decided to make a change. Not only for my sake, but for the sake of my dogs.

Since then, I have built a business, a rescue, a community of amazing humans and so many friendships that I cherish. Stepping away from my job was the best thing I ever did. Although I deal with chronic pain from the accident, it truly was life changing, for the better.

Dogs like Genny wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t made the decisions I did 💛💛

Anyone else feeling like Bessie Boo after the long weekend, say I…

This girl is turning into our little dare devil!

If we ask her to do something, she might take a second to build up the courage but she will do it! Took her only half a second to do this one for us!

Although we got Trixie so young, she lacked confidence, which wasn’t surprising to me considering her momma is a nervous nelly too! Confidence building was something we made sure to get on top of right away with Trixie girl so that we wouldn’t have a fearful girl on our hands!

After some group sessions with , a confidence building course with .mere and day training with , this girl is well on her way to where we want her to be!

Raising this girl has taken a village but I’m so happy with the team she has and am even happier that we all have the same goal - a happy, fulfilled Trixie girl 💛

05/17/2024

All shapes and sizes are welcome here 💛

Sure, we have our favorite breeds, but there’s not a single dog I’m not happy to meet!!

05/16/2024

Tater is looking out for the long weekend!

This boy can’t wait to hang out with his long weekend friends! Us humans can’t either 😍

Who has big plans for the weekend?

05/12/2024

Happy Mother’s Day to my two favorite co-dog moms 💛

There’s no one else I would rather smother the dogs with (with love)! We love you both! 😘

Dreaming of the sunny days that are hopefully coming our way soon!

We have some really fun plans for the summer and I can’t wait for Trixie and Tater to be a part of them! The first cabin trip for us will be at the end of the month for Hector’s birthday weekend and I’m so excited for them to experience it for the first time!

Have anything planned for this month to get you ready for the summer? ☺️

He works hard for the money 🙌🏼

Tater gets his custom leg braces on Wednesday 😍

It’s so exciting but also so nerve wracking! Although the hope is that these will help him with his hind end mobility, there is no guarantee. I have my fingers crossed that he will be able to adapt and possibly join in on some of our summer adventures, but if not, his backpack will be ready!

04/20/2024

Tater did his first “training” session today with !

To some it was just, him sitting on the sidelines, watching and judging, but to me, it was him working on his neutrality while also just getting out to explore the world.

At the end, T***s was a part of a pack walk for the second time and was super happy to be back in his backpack ❤️

04/16/2024

Keep the sunny days coming!! 😍

(She says as she looks at the weather report for the rest of the week)

Happy Monday from a girl who loves a happy Rupert!

**Don’t forget, we are currently accepting daycare pups! This is something that we have only been able to open up only once before so if you’re thinking about it, please send me an email so I can hold a spot for you and your pup ☺️

04/10/2024

Tater’s coming in hot with his favorite toy to tell you…

That we’re now accepting daycare clients 😍
Just in time for the warm weather! Every day currently has availability (Wednesday only has two open spots) and is ready for your pup!!

Please send us an email if you are interested in your pup joining our structured daycare ❤️

The face of a girl who was ready for the weekend, until I told her it was only Tuesday 🙈

BUT, I have some very exciting news coming your way tomorrow! Keep an eye out for our pupdates 😍😍

03/29/2024

Stanley was here for an extended stay last week while his mom enjoyed a few sunny days away! He even got to spend his birthday with us and got a special treat to head home with 😊

Stanley has been coming to us since he was a baby so I was so happy to share his birthday with him and to give him a safe place to stay while his mom was away!! I can’t wait for our next visit ❤️

Happiest of St. Patty’s Days 💚

This was our first St. Patty’s day with Tater and we celebrated with a backpack walk for the little man! I finally found one thanks to and now Tater will get to join all of our summer adventures!!

03/02/2024

Sometimes I wonder what life would have been like if my boys had met.

Then I think, who knows, maybe they did. Maybe they met as Hector was exiting our world and Tater was entering it and we just didn’t realize what was happening 💛

02/19/2024

2 steps closer to double digits!

Everyone called it, Tater’s not going anywhere! I told myself I wanted to wait till I was ready for a mastiff or boxer rescue puppy but this boy…he brought a small amount of boogie back in my life and is everything I needed ❤️

Now, what y’all didn’t call was that he is very convincing and Trixie Stix is staying too! For those of you that know me, you know I am partial to male dogs and have said I’ll never own another female. Well, this girl convinced me otherwise! I’m so happy to have a fun, smart and happy girl to work with! I haven’t had a puppy of my own in 8 years so this is going to be a fun adventure!

Welcome home Tater Tot and Bellatrix 💛💛

02/16/2024

You can find Trixie and I snoozing away this weekend while takes care of all the pups visiting!

You may have noticed that we were pretty quiet over here this week and it was only to give myself a bit of a social media break!

Stay warm this weekend and have some fun outside for me while my foot still heals ☺️☺️

P.S. yes she is this good of a snuggler ❤️

💕 SELF LOVE RAFFLE 💕

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, we are holding a raffle to help raise the remaining $5000 they have spent this week!

As some of you may have seen on their page or heard me talk about over the week, Daya had unknowingly ingested a toy which lead to septic abdomen. She was given a 50% chance of survival and damn did she ever kick butt during surgery and post-op. She is home and doing so much better but her total medical bills between 3 hospitals while she was sick was approximately $12,500. While a lot of those bills were fundraised for, there is still a portion remaining. On top of that, many of you know I headed to Nova Scotia for a very special trip for Diesel last weekend. Although I wish I could cover the gas bill of $750 myself, I just can’t.

My family is full of entrepreneurs and small businesses. Together, we have made a basket in honour of Daya and Diesel to help in a fun way!

Tickets for our basket will be one for $5 or 5 for $20. E-transfers can be sent to [email protected] with the message “Valentines Raffle”. Raffle ends Monday, February 12th, 2024 at 8pm.

If you would like to donate but don’t want to enter in the raffle, donations can be sent to [email protected]. All donations over $20 are eligible for a tax receipt. Remember, without you, we wouldn’t be able to save the lives of dogs like Daya and Diesel ❤️

We made it Boogie 💛

ADOPTABLE Trixie would like everyone to know that as of 7pm tonight, we (Courtney) are officially on vacation 😍

I will be heading to Punta Cana early Monday morning with my family in our first family vacation in over 18 years!

A reminder to all clients who are bringing their pups to daycare next week with the other team members to look at your emails! There is important information for you there ☺️

Hopefully, when I get home on the 22nd, I will be greeted with good news (that Trixie has won over your hearts and found her forever family)!!!

01/07/2024

365 days later and I’m still here. Still honouring my best friend in every way I can.

If I’m being honest, I didn’t think I would make it without him by my side. We were a duo, a package deal, best friends. Now, he leads me where I need to be and reminds me of what I can do. He continues to be my inspiration each and every day.

I have tried my best to be strong, just as strong as he always was for me, but some days are harder than others. On those days I am so thankful for my family and friends; each of them reminding me that it’s okay to be tired and sad. That grieving is okay, even a year later.

I miss Hector so much and I always will. No one will compare to him or the duo we once were.

I love you Boogie Bean 💛

💕 HECTOR MEMORIAL PACK WALK 💕

Date: Tomorrow, January 6th
Time: 11am
Location: The Boathouse, Guelph OR Your favorite walking spot close to home

I can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow for our Hector Pack Walk! We will meet at The Boathouse here in Guelph. There’s a lot of parking in this area for those who have never been! I have a route in mind, but we will take things as they come so that everyone enjoys themselves. Please make sure to dress warm as it is supposed to be cold tomorrow. Please also remember proper etiquette on a pack walk. No leash introductions with other dogs. No judgement of other handlers or dogs. This is a learning experience for everyone and we want to give everyone the opportunity to give their dogs a safe place to learn!

for those who cannot make it to Guelph, please feel free to go on a walk with your pup at 11 and send us a photo in honour of Hector. If you do not have a dog, or if your dog has a walk scheduled at another time, please consider making a donation to [email protected] in Hector’s honor.

Most importantly for tomorrow, please make sure to give your pups all the love you possibly can. Remember to soak in the happiness they bring into your life. 💛

* If you have any questions about the walk or about how you can show your love, please feel free to send me a message!

💛 First pack walk of 2024 💛

January 6th marks the anniversary of when Hector started a new adventure. There’s so much I want to say, so much I’m feeling and such a big loss that I’m still grieving and probably always will.

On January 6th, 2024 at 11am, we will be holding our first pack walk of the year in Hector’s honour. I would love for all of those who were a part of his life as well as those who’s didn’t get the chance to meet him but wish they had, to join us.

We do ask that all participants make a donation to Tango’s Lead (more details to come on this)! If you are not able to join in Guelph, you’re more than welcome to go on a walk in your city, send us a photo and still donate in his honour!

Location TBD!

Muzzle training… I knew I loved training, but who knew I could fall in love while training 😅 Can anyone say “Courtney’s in trouble”…?

Just had such a good workout... look at how much I’m sweating!! Just kidding... unfortunately I have been incontinent since my chemotherapy yesterday so mom gave me a hose down because she said I smell like pee. How rude... All joking aside, Diesel is doing okay since his chemotherapy yesterday and his biggest struggle has been with his incontinence. He is also eating less again but that did happen last time as well. I did however promise him ice cream on Thursday if he starts to feel better so let’s hope his body is able to tell cancer to f*** off enough for us to be able to do that! ❤️

There were multiple things in this video that I wanted to mention which is why I didn’t want to just post this one on my story! To start, please be as excited as I am that Diesel is now officially in our pack. He comes on our nightly walks, goes outside with my pups throughout the day, and hangs out with us at night before we go to sleep. Yes he is still muzzled but that’s because both him and Tessa are dummies ❤️ Next up are these leashes! Note the one I’m walking Diesel on. For those of you with multiple dogs, this leash is great! I asked @dapper.dingo to make me a custom leash that was only two feet so that I don’t have as much leash dragging from all 3 of the leashes and she killed it! This one also links to my hands free belt to make walks even easier! For those of you who have the leash coupler, you can actually do this already 😃 Lastly, please note that Tessa is hooked onto nothing more than my belt loop... this reactive dog has come so far and to say I’m proud is an understatement!! Because I can’t leave Hector out- look at how perfect he is being on the walk with his lovely yellow leash from @tangosleadcaninerescue 🥰 Thank you all for being proud of my pups with me! P.S. note Diesel’s new collar from @dapper.dingo that has given him the new name of Scooby 💕

Most people won’t realize how big of a deal this is but Kora’s mom and I sure as hell do! Kora and I have worked hard to get to this point. Over the last 7 months, Kora and I have practiced on a weekly basis and have gone from needing to be sedated and muzzled, to this. We now do one paw at a time, and although she still will not accepts treats while we do it, she will happily wait for some love and treats afterwards! This is huge for this girl and I couldn’t be prouder!! Also, I am happy to note that she is close to losing 20lbs (in a healthy weight lose program) over the last 7 months while with me 💕 Love you goober 😘

About Us

A little bit about me, I have been working in the dog world for over 7 years now. It started when my family dog was having behavioural issues and we needed to seek professional training for him. Once I left for university, I was missing both my dog and working with him which is when I got into fostering. I successfully trained 3 service dogs and have had over 75 foster dogs in my care, some of which being feral puppies, some with behavioural issues and others just happy to be living the good home life!

I previously worked at a boarding kennel for two years and have now been working at an emergency vet hospital for over two years now. From working at both these places, I have seen how stressed dogs can get in the kennel setting and realized how important it is to make dogs feel just as at home in my care, as they are with their family!

As well, I am a returning student of University of Guelph, after going back and forth and even majoring in Animal Biology and minoring in Nutrition, as I have decided becoming a vet is where my heart belongs.

I currently live in my home with 3 of my dogs; Bebe who is a 14 years old husky mix, Hector who is 9 years old boxer and Kyrie who is a 5 year old mastiff mix. Each have taught me so much about dogs and dog behaviour, and with my mastiffs, I have even done formal training to help with some of the behavioural issues that they have gone through. I am committed to doing the same for you and your pup while they enjoy their stay with us :)
