Gustave is wondering why he hasn’t found his new family yet?! He’s looking for a best friend to make memories with!
This handsome fellow is a three year old Border Collie mixed with Australian Cattle Dog.
These breeds aren’t for everyone! If you would like to apply to foster or foster-to-adopt Gustave, you must be prepared to keep him stimulated both mentally and physically! He is a very intelligent and motivated dog who would be unhappy in a home where he doesn’t get the stimulation he needs or doesn’t get to burn his energy. He would be the perfect sidekick for someone who enjoys going on adventures, camping, kayaking, runs, etc. Once he has had his fun for the day, he is quiet in the house!
Gustave cannot live with young children. We will discuss this further with anyone interested in him. He does, however, do really well with other dogs and cats as well. He is also used to being around horses.
He is used to the cage but also does very well when left in the house alone. He walks well on a leash. He also walks well off the leash, stays close and has an excellent recall, but a bond must first be built between him and his human.
Gustave has received a lot of training and is very well behaved. He knows several tricks and commands. He loves playing in the water and snow.
If you would like to apply to be his foster or foster-to-adopt, please send an email to [email protected]

Gustave se demande pourquoi il n'a pas encore trouvé sa nouvelle famille ?! Il cherche un meilleur ami avec qui créer des souvenirs !
Ce beau bonhomme est un Border Collie croisé de trois ans croisé avec un bouvier australien.
Ces races ne conviennent pas à tout le monde ! Si vous souhaitez faire une demande d'adoption, vous devez être prêt à le stimuler mentalement et physiquement ! C'est un chien très intelligent et motivé qui serait malheureux dans un foyer où il ne reçoit pas la stimulation dont il a besoin ou ne pe
Miko
When you can’t see things, you feel them and you meet them, so here is Miko’s first time “meeting” a pine cone!
Pssst… our little guy is up for adoption! To learn more about him, send us an email at [email protected]
🐾🐾
Quand on ne peut pas voir les choses, on ressent les choses et on rencontre des choses, voici donc la première fois que Miko « rencontre » une pomme de pin !
Pssst… notre petit bonhomme est à l’adoption ! Pour en savoir plus sur lui, envoyez-nous un courriel à [email protected]
Miko
Thanks to Miko’s wonderful former foster, Sophie (we had to move Miko because she was having bad allergies!), our little dude went in for a much needed groom yesterday! He quickly became a staff favourite, and they let him keep the stuffed toy he liked so much! Merci!
How has this adorable, fun-loving kiddo not been adopted yet?!
A misconception a lot of people seem to have about blind dogs, is that they must be fearful of everything and they must have a really difficult time getting around… Miko is here to show you that for most blind dogs, that isn’t the case at all! This was Miko‘s first time visiting the salon, and if you walked in you would have never even known he is blind!
To learn more about our adorable pup, please send an email to [email protected]
🐾🐾
Grâce à Sophie, la merveilleuse ancienne famille d’accueil de Miko (nous avons dû déplacer Miko parce qu’elle avait de graves allergies !), notre petit coco Miko a été toiletter hier ! Il est rapidement devenu un favori du personnel, qui lui a permis de garder la peluche qu’il aimait tant ! Merci!
Comment se fait-il que ce adorable coco n’ait pas encore été adopté ?!
Une idée fausse que beaucoup de gens semblent avoir à propos des chiens aveugles, c’est qu’ils doivent avoir peur de tout et qu’ils doivent avoir beaucoup de mal à se déplacer… Miko est là pour vous montrer que pour la plupart des chiens aveugles, ce n’est pas le cas du tout! C’était la première fois que Miko visitait le salon, et si vous y étiez entré, vous n’auriez même jamais su qu’il est aveugle !

NDDR alumni Charlotte’s FOMO (fear of missing out) of what’s going on on the other side of the fence is so strong, she won’t even ever fully stop to pee!
As for her brother, he’s still a little traumatized by that one time he didn’t move out of her line of fire on time!
Miko!

Our little fluffball is up for adoption! We asked Miko a few questions so that anyone interested in filling out an application for him can get to know him a bit better first!
NDDR: How old are you?
Miko: I’m 6 months old, which may seem young to date, but ladies I’m single!
NDDR: Umm, I didn’t ask if you were single, so can we please stay on topic, bud?
NDDR: How much do you weigh?
Miko: 15 pounds of happiness!
NDDR: Is there anything in particular you’d like us to know?
Miko: I’m blind, but that doesn’t slow me down one bit! I do well in new environments and when meeting new people!
NDDR: Can you describe your personality?
Miko: My foster family says I’m a very easygoing pup (giving myself a pat on the back atm). I’m easy breezy! I’m also quite funny, so if you like to laugh, then I’m your kiddo! I enjoy human attention and affection but am not a needy dog who has to be next to you all of the time. I’m quite content just knowing you’re around!
NDDR: What are your favourite pastimes?
Miko: I enjoy walkies… SO. MUCH. TO. SMELL. I love running around outside so a fenced yard would be my preference! I also really like playing with my toys, so I’m going to need a basket full of stuffies!
NDDR: Anything you’re still working on?
Miko: *Silence*
NDDR: Miko, did you hear my question? Should I repeat it?
Miko: No. I heard you, but as a single lad I don’t think mentioning what I’m still working on will get me any dates…
NDDR: Let me guess… you’re not fully potty trained yet?
Miko: Next question, please!
NDDR: Answer the question, please!
Miko: You’re so embarrassing! Okay, fine… Not fully, but close. Very close!
NDDR: Do you get along well with other dogs?
Miko: I do! And cats, too! However, if you tell any of my dog friends I said that, I’m going to deny it!
NDDR: Anything else we should know about you?
Miko: I just received a clean bill of health from the veterinarian I saw last wee

Miko has only been under our care since this last weekend. Our little blind sweetheart will be seeing a vet for the very first time tomorrow. Sadly, despite sharing this sweet little ball of love in a Reel yesterday, we haven’t raised any funds for his appointment.
We know times are tough for many, so we certainly understand why it has been so difficult to raise funds, but we’re hoping for a miracle between now and tomorrow afternoon!
We need to raise funds for the consultation, his first vaccines, he desperately needs to be groomed, and soon enough he will need to be neutered. These costs add up very quickly, and that’s just for one dog (we have other dogs with medical appointments fast approaching).
If you are able and would like to help, please visit https://linktr.ee/NewDayDogRescue, or you can send an e-transfer to [email protected]. Thank you!
🐾🐾
Miko est sous nos soins depuis le weekend dernier seulement. Notre beau p’tit coco aveugle aura son premier rendez-vous chez le vétérinaire demain. Malheureusement, malgré le partage hier de cette douce petite boule d’amour, nous n’avons collecté aucun don pour lui.
Nous savons que les temps sont durs pour tous, alors nous comprenons certainement pourquoi c’est si difficile de récolter des fonds, mais nous espérons pour un miracle d’ici demain après-midi !
Nous devons récolter des fonds pour la consultation, ses premiers vaccins, il doit se faire toiletter, et bientôt il devra être castré. Ces coûts s’additionnent très vite, et cela ne concerne qu’un seul chien (nous avons d’autres chiens avec des rendez-vous qui approche vite.). Si vous pouvez et voulez aider, veuillez visitez https://linktr.ee/NewDayDogRescue, ou vous pouvez envoyer un virement électronique à [email protected]. Merci!

NDDR Alumni Baron
*Version française ci-dessous*
NDDR alumni Baron continues to impress us! If you don’t know Baron’s story, he is originally from Morocco. He was dumped on the street by his owner who had been breeding him repeatedly for profit. When masses were detected on Baron’s testicles, he was no longer of use to his breeder and was dumped. Those masses were a blessing in disguise because had he not developed them, he would have spent his entire life locked in a kennel. Thankfully, he found his way to us and we began his medical treatments, and he eventually ended up joining us here in Canada.
When Baron was adopted just a little over two years ago, Dominique and Stéphane knew that they had a very long road ahead of them when it came to working through Baron’s fears and behaviours. They were up for the challenge and worked incredibly hard with him. Today, he is a completely different dog, all thanks to patience and perseverance. We will forever be grateful for them both!
🐾🐾
Baron, un ancien coco NDDR, continue de nous impressionner ! Si vous ne connaissez pas l’histoire de Baron, il est originaire du Maroc. Il a été jeté à la rue par son propriétaire qui l’avait élevé. Lorsque des masses a été détectée sur les testicules de Baron, celui-ci n’était plus d’aucune utilité à son éleveur et a été abandonné. Ces masses étaient ce qui a sauvé la vie de Baron, car s’il ne les avait pas développées, il aurait passé toute sa vie enfermé dans un chenil. Heureusement, il a trouvé son chemin vers nous et nous avons commencé ses traitements médicaux, et il a finalement fini par nous rejoindre ici au Canada. Lorsque Baron a été adopté il y a un peu plus de deux ans, Dominique et Stéphane savaient qu’ils avaient un très long chemin à parcourir pour surmonter les peurs et les comportements de Baron. Ils étaient prêts à relever le défi et ont travaillé incroyablement fort avec lui. Aujourd’hui, c’est un chien complèteme

This is co-founder Barbara! Some of you may know that I adopted Diego, one of our early intakes back in June of 2021. In fact, he was a foster fail!
Diego was rescued by some wonderful people in Mexico after being hit by a car and paralyzed, then subsequently abandoned by his family. He had fractured vertebrae which were (and still are!) visibly bent at a 90° angle. His pain was being managed with the help of a cocktail of medications. Euthanasia was considered, but Diego showed a real will to live, so we were contacted!
If I'm perfectly honest, I was genuinely frightened to foster Diego because we'd heard his care involved a lot of pain management. I just didn't know how I would manage it emotionally, considering he was dealing with so much pain. But his trip to me was meant to be!
Within a week or two, Diego turned into such a joyful boy. Within a couple of months, he was weaned off all his pain medication. And another miracle happened - Diego started using his back legs, as you see in this video.
From our side of things, it can be to take some of NDDR's successes for granted. There is ALWAYS another problem to overcome, more money that needs to be raised, and so many more dogs who need our help. It does so much good to stop and remind ourselves of the little miracles we have seen - and both Christine and I each have one of those little miracles in our daily lives to remind us!
So, tonight I encourage you to take some time to reflect on the successes or miracles in your lives. It's so easy to focus on the hum drum routines of work, the bills that need to be paid and the other problems in our day to day lives... take the time to reflect on what's going RIGHT!
Do you remember the puppies we introduced to you back in November, who were abandoned on a tarp outside of our boarding facility in Morocco? Of the five puppies we rescued, unfortunately only three of them survived. But those three are growing strong! In this video, you`ll see that Alma, Azzaro and Ashley are busy and very happy!
Last week, however, our teammate Feezora discovered that Azzaro has a mass on the side of his face that we need to have looked at by a vet ASAP (see the second video in the comments). This is just one more expense added to a growing list.
As we've mentioned, despite our being quiet on social media recently, we have continued to care for dogs in both Morocco and Canada. Without active fundraisers, the cost for this care has been paid out of pocket.
As always, our NDDR family's support is so appreciated. If you'd like to help us by contributing to help with these costs, please visit our linktree (link in our profile).
(We'll be sharing a clear view of our finances in the coming days, so stay tuned!)

Who remembers Emmy?
Emmy is a beautiful girl who was rescued by our teammate, Feezora, when she was found, very vulnerable on the streets in Morocco as a blind dog. Emmy came to Canada, where it was determined that her blindness was a result of someone hitting her over the head (imagine!). Emmy was adopted to a wonderful family in Shawinigan, Quebec. Here’s what they had to say about her!
“Our beautiful Emmy is doing very well and is as cute as ever! We are approaching her first anniversary of joining our family and we are still just as happy that she is part of our family. We find her absolutely incredible… honestly, most of the time, I forget that she is blind! Her reactivity with my oldest son and his girlfriend is almost resolved. She is still a bit nervous, but she lets them pet her and we no longer need to take all sorts of precautions when they come over. They simply need to move around slowly and speak to her as they approach so she is prepared. They’ve even been able to bring their dogs here, in her environment! (One at a time so as to not stress her too much)... She even made a friend during one of her walks on the pathgs near here. She’s a beautiful, determined girl who knows how to make herself understood when she wants something! It’s incredible! …
I know I’ve already said this, but I so appreciate you for having taken her in and for having given us a chance to be part of our family!”
Oh, Emmy, our hearts are so full for you! You have the life you’ve always deserved. We love you so much!
