(Used to be called Stray, renamed Maggie)
This feisty little Poodle Cocker Spaniel mix is a squirming bundle of fun and has no problem speaking her mind. Someone will hopefully teach her that sometimes talking back is appropriate and sometimes it's not. My dogs talk back to me all the time so that person wouldn't be me.
The best way to check on the adoption status of this dog (and other dogs and cats and other small domestic animals) is to visit Toronto Animal Services or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter.
It wouldn't be me, either, as the conversation would go on and on... Good looking dog. I hope he finds a "conversation companion" quickly!
ReplyDeleteit's really unfortunate - i called about this dog and staff gave me a hard time as there was no number for the dog. then i was told the dog was only a stray and not available for adoption. i pushed for them to look into it and found out that the dog had in fact been up for adoption and had been adopted. they didn't know why the page was still on the blog. not a great way to do business.
ReplyDeleteAnon, if you're referring to this blog, this blog isn't a business. This blog is volunteer run site which has photos of many of the dogs which have been through TAS South. The photos of the dogs do not get taken down just because they have been adopted. This is not the official adoption site. Sometimes, more up-to-date info is given on the facebook page for a particular dog (as in this case) but no guarantees.
ReplyDeleteStray was returned to TAS. Reasons given were that she was too big, wasn't bonding with the children fast enough and she was toy possessive. I spent about 45 minutes with her this afternoon. I rubbed her chest, scratched her back side gave her some snacks and she started bonding. Not difficult. Worst part about her being returned is that now she is totally stressed out, even more than when she first came in, like she thinks she's done something bad and is being punished.
ReplyDeleteAnon, Stray's new ID number is A611787.
