That's okay, though. I'm sure someone will be taking her home soon enough. Care Bear, like her namesake, is a hug monster. She likes nothing better than curling up beside someone for a good evening of tv watching. She also likes going exploring or eating big piles of food or running after a ball. Care Bear pretty much likes anything as long as it's an activity she can share with her human.
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 adoption website or call 416 338 6668 for the Toronto Animal Services South shelter. If the dog is no longer on the TAS adoption website, it's probably because it's been adopted already.
I think we may have been the couple that Care Bear met on Saturday, and she is a truly lovely dog. As loyal followers of this site, we know that a dog is a commitment for life - she was the first dog that we'd met, and we weren't sure if she was the right dog for us, right now. This is in no way a reflection on her personality (see above re: truly lovely), and I hope it doesn't deter anyone from going down to meet her.
ReplyDeleteTo anyone who does have the opportunity to meet Care Bear: for the first few minutes, it's all about whatever stuffed toy is in the room. However, give it a little more time and you can get a serious game of fetch going - she also knows sit and lay down. As mentioned above, she seems to be food motivated, so I'm sure other tricks would come quickly. (We didn't think about bringing treats, but the very nice staff at TAS had some that they were willing to share.)
Thanks much for the Care Bear review. I hope you find the one you're looking for. Cheers.
