Welcome Eirwen and Vesper to the Riverview family!

These pups recently came to us after being abandoned in the cold. They are about 10 weeks old and just settling into their foster homes. They are not available for adoption quite yet but stay tuned for bios! We are excited to see their personalities shine after they have settled. They are extremely sweet and loving life.

Thank you Sash-Mar Paws Helping Northern Dogs for coordinating their flight to Ottawa. With the recent high volume snowfalls, there were some delays but we are thankful they have arrived safely.

Interested in helping cover their basic vetting? Donations via e-transfer can be sent to [email protected]

Sir Reginald has been loving the snowy trails and wintery walks with his foster mom! He’s come a long way from his days in a puppy mill, and continues to grow and learn every day. Reggie would love an active, committed adopter who will help him see that the outside world can be a wonderful place.

Bumble is available for adoption!
ID # 25-014

Age: 2~ years

Weight: 45~ lbs

Breed: mixed breed

Is your foster dog sterilized: Yes

Is your foster dog vaccinated: Yes, rabies bordetella and dappvl2

Is your dog good with other dogs: Yes! She takes queues from other dogs really well and loves to play with her foster siblings.

Is your dog good with cats: Yes

Foster Location: Perth, Ontario

Is your dog good with kids: Yes

Current size: Medium

Is your dog house trained: Yes! She has had ZERO accidents and will scratch at the door and/or grumble at you when she wants to go out.

Is your dog crate trained: Yes! She willingly goes into her crate for bedtime and will sometimes choose to hang out there at other times for naps.

Does your dog have any special needs or medical conditions? No.

Does your dog have any or display any aggression (toys, food, people, leash reactivity): No. She’s quite timid but will alert bark if she sees something new or different in familiar surroundings.

Is your dog playful: YES! She loves to wrestle and zoom around with her foster siblings in the backyard, chase balls, and chomp on squeaky toys.

Describe the dogs energy level: Medium. She has bursts of energy first thing in the morning, at lunch, and in the late afternoon but will crash out for naps while you work and in the evening.

Does your dog like to snuggle: She is ‘snuggle curious’. While she’s still working on coming out of her shell, she will seek out affection from her humans and sit next to you on the couch. With time and patience, she could turn into a lap dog.

Does your dog know basic commands: She will respond to her name and to ‘no’, but the rest is a work in progress as she slowly gains confidence. Thankfully she is a naturally well-mannered girl.

Does your dog know any special tricks: No.

Describe the dogs level of training: Beginner.

Does your dog like to go on walks: She does enjoy walks and does well on leash, but needs to gain more confidence with new sights and sounds.

Does your dog have any fears: She is still learning to trust new humans and is quite wary of large trucks.

Does your dog have any unique traits you have noticed whether in personality or physically: She’s a shy girl that is solidly built but smaller than she looks. Her cute cocked ears and wagging tail let you know what she’s feeling, but she’ll throw in an occasional grumble or howl to make her point.

What are the 3 first words that come to mind when you think of your dog: Shy. Sweet. Silly.

Provide a description of your foster dog and the ideal home for them: Despite having a rough start in life, she is a joyful little meatball. She’ll greet you with kisses and a happy howl in the morning. She loves to run and roll around in the snow and yet is just as happy to snooze on the couch or keep tabs on the neighborhood through the window. She’ll need a family who’ll give her the patience and encouragement she needs to feel safe and gain confidence. She would love another playful doggy friend in the household and a fenced backyard would be helpful for her to live her best life.

Earlier this month we were contacted by the Schell family to set up a memorial fund on behalf of their brother Beau who had recently passed. Beau was described as a kind-hearted soul who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. He was always willing to help anyone in need and would have been pleased to have a positive impact on animals in need.

Well … Beau’s legacy speaks for itself. His family, friends, coworkers, and community donated $675 in his memory to the rescue, and we couldn’t be more grateful. These funds will go a long way in helping the animals in our care with medications, transportations, and surgeries.

We want to say a huge thank you to the Schell family for choosing Riverview Rescues as a recipient, and a thank you to all who donated. We will continue our mission to help animals in need, and will now be inspired by Beau’s legacy within our work moving forward.

Rest easy Beau,
Your friends at Riverview Rescues 💙🐾
