Rescued from: California, USA
Likes: Nugent likes treats, soft places to sleep, and loves exploring outside.
Dislikes: He's not a fan of his kennel
Ideal Home: Nudent is slow to warm up to new people and will require a patient home that understands he needs slow introductions. Since he will air nip if he is scared, we would recommend a home without children or older children that allow him to come to them. He is great with other dogs. Will play a little but isn't up for non-stop play. He has met a cat and ignored it.

House trained, barks indoors, barks outdoors, walks on leash

From Nugent's Foster:

Nugent is a wonderful dog. Smart, learns quickly and wants to please. He is house trained, not destructive and can be left alone. He loves exploring, prances when he walks and howls a little too when he hears a siren outside. A little sassy, loves cuddles and belly rubs, he's fun to have around!

The only thing I’m not good at is modesty, because I’m great at it

From Gina's Foster:

Gina is an absolute sweetheart. She is loving, happy and cute as a button! She absolutely loves meal time, treats, pets and greeting you in the morning with happy zoomies! She has learned to walk on a leash, and is a power walker now! She is smart and bright. She is low maintenance and when she isn't doing her regular speed laps around the room, she is happily chilling on the couch. She gets along with cats, dogs and people with no problem. She would be an amazing addition to a calm, happy home - to mirror her calm, happy little personality.

Fur-ever homes Rescue faq

General Rescue Questions:

1.) Q. Why Rescue with Fur-ever Homes?

A. Please refer to our about us page on who we are and what we do.

Adoptions:

1.) Q. Why adopt?

2.) What is the process?

A. By filling in the Adoption application, you are requesting to adopt a dog from the rescue. You will receive an email as a response on if you are approved, or if the dog has been adopted. Please check your junk mail, as sometimes the response ends up being sent there. If you are approved, a meeting with the household family is required to move forward. All household members must be present at an adoption, including out of town adopters. Other animals in the home are required to meet the new dog prior to approval of the application. We do not ship dogs; adopters are required to meet the dogs before moving on with the process. The adopter is required to notify the rescue after the meeting. If the meeting goes well, and the adopter would like to proceed with the adoption, the complete the final paperwork will be sent and payment of the adoption fee is required. Upon receipt of this information, the foster parent will be notified and arrangements to get the new pet to their home is to be made between the foster parent and adoption parent.

3.) Q. Where are you located? Where can I meet the dogs?

A. Due to our rescue being volunteer based, we do not have a shelter or facility. Dogs that reside in private foster homes throughout Calgary can only be visited by pre-approved adopters. Once your application has been pre-approved, it will be forwarded to the foster parents and arrangements to meet the family need to be made within 10 days of receiving the email. Also, you can meet our dogs at our meet and greets / adoption events. You can learn more about them and when they are on our Instagram, Facebook or on our Adoption Events page.

Fostering:

1.) Q. How long is the commitment to foster?

A. Depending on the situation, and what type of foster you wish to be.

Full time Fostering - A Full time foster will watch over their foster until they are to be adopted. Once in a new environment, some dogs are adopted after a few days after the holding period if they are healthy and well adjusted enough for adoption. Due to some of the animal's pasts, some may need more time to adjust to the home environment. When possible, we will do our best to match a dog that works with a foster parent's availability. In some cases, it cannot be predict how long a dog will be with a foster.

Temporary Fostering - Being a temporary fosters will take dogs on while full time fosters are on vacation. With this adoption style, you will have an idea about the dogs personality and length of time you will be caring for the foster. This is a way to help discover if fostering is for you.

Hospice Fostering - Sometimes we receive animals that are too sick to be adopted. With this we require a loving home who is willing to give a more comfortable home to live out a happy life in safety environment. Health care and food support are still provided, and you can read more about our hospice program.

2.) Q. How do I get a Foster adopted?

A. There are many things a foster can do to promote their foster. This including taking them to more adoption events, discussing with friends' and families' to pass information on potential homes, and even taking them into pet friendly work Places.

3.) Q. What is provided to the foster parent?

A. Our rescue will provide you will the essentials in order to care for the animal, including animal identification, collar, leash/harness, crate and food. Note that crate and food will only be provided upon request. Once the foster is adopted, all equipment is to be returned to the rescue for the next group of animals coming into the rescue. Please be sure they are clean upon return. Storage drop dates announced when they are happening, usually once a month.

4.) Q. What if the dog gets sick, will I have to pay?

A. Our rescue has an account at specific vet clinics. With this fosters parents can take dogs to these clinics with authorization after medical requests. There will be no expense to the foster parent if the dogs is taken to the vet when authorized. For emergencies only, an approved 24 hour clinic is to be used. If a foster parent is to take a dog without authorization or to an unapproved vet, they are then required to pay the vet fee. The dog's vet records are important for the rescue as they are to be disclosed upon adoption. Unauthorized visits may cause confusion and important missed information that the rescue needs.

5.) Q. What if I want to adopt my foster dog?

A. Fosters sometimes decide to keep their foster animal. We ask that this decision is made as soon as possible and before next meet and greet / adoption event. Fosters parents are still required to fill out the online adoption application and the dog bio, as they are required for the rescue's records.
