[Image Can Not Be Found]Beautiful, Canadian tripod in need of a forever home! 

  • Animal Rescue Foundation of Ontario (ARF Ontario) based in London, Ontario.  This a 100% volunteer, foster-based group that rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes stray dogs and cats from first nations and rural areas.
  • 9 months old, front leg ampuated in early September 2009.
  • Breed: beautiful Heinz 57!  If I had to guess at her breed mix, I would say border collie + lab based on appearances.  She is a spayed female. 
  • Found with severe laceration on her front leg that had caused irreparable nerve damage.  Cause of the laceration is unknown, although we suspect that she may have been hit by a car.  Images of her injury can be seen in Songoh's YouTube video at http://www.yout.....om/watch?v.....OGeKo3OrMY
  • Special needs - none.  Leg was amputated at 6 months of age and she's adapted extremely well! 
  • Songoh's bio, picture (as seen here), and adoption application are available at http://www.arfontario.com.  Questions can be posted here and I am happy to answer them!  This rescue does not ship/transport dogs to their forever homes so anyone who submits an application needs to be willing to travel to the London area.
  • Songoh is a cute young dog and with a nice temperament! She loves all people, including children, and lives beautifully with both cats and dogs in her foster home.  She is fantastic in the car and is being leash trained (this will need to be continued after adoption since she's not 100% comfortable on leash just yet).  She loves to play fetch and is bright.  She will be a joy for a family to work with - very motivated by treats and praise.  She's also a snuggle-bug!  She has already learned some of her basic commands, has reliable recall, is housetrained and crate trained.  She is UTD on shots, is microchipped, spayed, dewormed and has been receiving Revolution.

    This girl would love to live with a family that has lots of time to play with her, to teach her new things (she loves to learn and to please!), and she needs a fenced yard.  She would also be thrilled to have a canine buddy in her forever home. 

    Thanks for reading about Songoh!

    I would love to have a girlfriend (especially a tripawd one), but if you could see my pawrents' car you would doubt they can drive  8-9 hours with it Laughing  But, hey! I will not complain since they choose to spend their money on my wonderful body instead of buying a boring new car.  Don't you think rusty cars make more interesting and funny noises anyway ?

    You can pick up Songoh when you drive to Winnipeg, en route to CSU or Calgary or some where, who knows, I sure don't anymore. We can figure it out when you get here. The little bit of winter weather that is currently happening should make it extra special fun Oh My! Can't you see Oslo, Tazzie and Songoh in the back seat - B & W and tricolor tripawds?  I think it is only a 4-5 day drive from Montreal to Winnipeg. Good thing Canada is so tiny, eh? Hey, maybe they can send Songoh to you by helicopter Winker
