This is a Bakers Dozen Pup – BHRR’s Everyl! 
Right up close and personal with Liz Bradley at their latest professional photo shoot!
She has a Vet apt. for June 9th.

BHRR’s Fletcher remains AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION to that right matched forever loving home.
Another picture of BHRR’s Oliver!
Tonight BHRR’s Giselle had her annual and BHRR’s Singe had a recheck on his ear infection and to have possible boosters.
BHRR’s Giselle weighs 52.7 KG(115.94)
The muscle BHRR’s Singe is putting on has made his Vet very impressed. 
He still has a long way to go in the weight gaining department and we keep working on it.
BHRR’s Giselle has come a long way since her arrival to BHRR in manners and health and remains AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
BHRR’s Singe remains in our rehab program at this time.
In the picture he is using her as a pillow! 
Also a reminder that our Flash Auction ends tonight – in 40 minutes!! All monies raised shall continue to help us help the animals! 
This is our 410th Adoption since our inception in 1996! Small, focused on quality over quantity and helping the next in need of us, one dog at a time!
What a truly wonderful home this is and BHRR’s Calla also has a big sister with Winnie, the lab! Two playful peas in a pod! 
Thank you to Sandra for helping out at this Home-Visit and on such short notice!
Thank you to Jane for asking us to assist this stunning BBBBB!
My family is going to miss her yet we are so so so happy for her and she gets to have two lovely kids – 8 & 10 – also to call Family!!
As I get ready to make the drive home, I am wishing all of our friends, family and & supporters a good night! It has been an incredibly busy weekend and I am back up and at ‘er again tomorrow with zee birds!
The Bakers Dozen – BHRR’s Oliver
Almost 8 Months Old – May 11th, 2018
DNA Proven GD/IW
This is from their latest professional photo shoot! Thank you Liz SO much for doing this for BHRR. I know you are super busy!
BHRR’s Oliver remains AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION to that right matched forever loving home.
She is here and I also am in the camp of a DaneX & about 18 months – 2 years of age – with lab or flat coated retriever and she is 100% amazing!
A small girl – all relative I know! 
– and happy and so enthusiastic about life! She needs to learn some manners including leash ones!
Her paperwork says that she is not even housebroken….poor girl…..
Two pics taken by Sean when he picked her up…her body condition. 
Yet, we specialise in emaciation cases, have a 100% rehab success rate and she will lack for nothing…..
For those who remember BHRR’s Bloom, a singlebred blue fireball of a Dane, Sean says she is small like her yet much taller. We actually ended up doing two separate DNA tests on BHRR’s Bloom and she was a wee thing in body for a Dane & huge in personality!
Sean says that she is also much younger than the believed ~3 years of ageand I am so excited to meet what Sean has said is a ‘Crazy friendly andenergetic’ girl!
Thank you to Mel and to all of the rescue transport angels that made today happen!! Thank you to Annie for tagging us about this girl needing help. In noting that she was posted for quite some time needing urgent help, we knew we had to do everything we could to find a spot for her….we love the the black beauties and the special needs ones and we are so glad that we ended up being tagged in her post needing assistance as otherwise we may never have known about her….she deserves so much more better the terrible neglect she suffered in her past….
Welcome to the BHRR family, you yet to be named BBBBB!
AND this girl is on her way now!
Sean should have her soon as due to a last minute change, I am home with Miss Hollywood….
Once we have her, we may know more re: if she is singlebred Dane or Dane/Lab for she is super wee in the pictures! Does not matter to us!
We have been told she has travelled well and has the Dane ‘whine’ down to a tee! 
Pictures compliments of her transport angels!
Adopted to her forever loving home (her story)
BHRR’s Calla’s Home-Visit for a possible approved adoption is scheduled for Sunday May 27th. We will update as we can!
Got her! On my way home now!
Wee pretty thing!
Thank to SO many for making this transport happen!!
The face that I saw upon her arrival to KAH!

Two more transport angel photo’s!
AND Miss Hollywood is on her way – She has been travelling since early this AM.
I have been told that she is travelling very well and in about one hour, I should have her in my own hands.
I look forward to meeting her, having her settle in and being able to properly assess/evaluate her and work on her training, social and resourcing needs and/or whatever else we learn/she needs when the honeymoon period ends!
My remaining Bakers Dozen will do so much in guiding and teaching her also!
Thank you again Annie for asking us to assist her…..
The beautiful photo credits are to the Transport Angels that are helping to get her closer to me! 
BIRTHDAY: October 6th, 2017
More Information Given:
Very easy to handle
No bite history
Resource guarding w/ toys sometimes as per owner. Have not noticed that here.
Seems friendly with all dogs here. Owner states good with males
Unknown w/ cats
Unknown w/ kids
Super friendly w/ strangers
Outgoing, energetic, happy disposition
Medium energy level
Pulls on leash
Knows basic command: sit
Good teeth condition
Surrendered as vomiting and diarrhea. Thought maybe mild megaesophogas but vomit WAS digested well, not vomiting water. Has since stopped being sick once we put her on good food, several small meals a day of puppy kibble to bring her weight up and runs have cleared up. Skinny.
Mya! Was surrendered by someone who was caring for her the owners didn’t want her back so limited info. Approx 3 years old, Dane/Lab X, intact female (that we know of, looks like has had puppies too before). Was neglected by a previous owner, is underweight (will have to get her weight, she’s pretty big). They said she is possessive over her rope/squeaky toys. Good with men, male dogs, women and strangers. Female dogs and cats unknown. She was vomiting but is in good spirits with a lot of energy. We are feeding her elevated to see if that is the issue. She just came in two days ago so monitoring for now. Vomit present this morning was digested so it’s not immediate after feeding, at this point don’t think it’s megaesophagus as our last dog that had that would vomit shortly after eating as well as drinking. Strong, energetic but really friendly.
UPDATE: Doing better on a raised dish. Has stopped vomiting and her runs have cleared up. Is being fed several small meals a day of soaked puppy food
UPDATE GIVEN:
“She hasn’t vomited for days, stool is also now normal. 🙂 Staff believes she was on super crappy food, was obviously not getting her nutritional needs met as she is bony, and wasn’t being fed out of a raised dish in her home.”
BHRR’s Calla is moving under a PENDING ADOPTION!
We shall update as we can!
The next in need of need of us….we love the Black Beauties too!
What we have been informed about to date:
“Surrendered as vomiting and diarrhea. Thought maybe mild megaesophogas but vomit WAS digested well, not vomiting water. Has since stopped being sick once we put her on good food, several small meals a day of puppy kibble to bring her weight up and runs have cleared up. Skinny.
Was surrendered by someone who was caring for her the owners didn’t want her back so limited info. Approx 3 years old, Dane, intact female (that we know of, looks like has had puppies too before). Was neglected by a previous owner….”
Those nails are equally awful…. 
ETA to BHRR Sunday May 27th
Testimonal Sent From The Home Who Had The Special Overnight Play Date with BHRR’s Juniper:
“Juniper was a blast to have over. Once she settled and got comfortable she was quite the love bug. Not a fan of stairs but she loved bellyrubs and ear scratches. She barely even noticed the cats and chickens, too busy exploring the yard and house. She is an independent fiery girl that will make a Fab addition to a loving family.”
What do you do when you are at the Doctor’s?
You take a seat, make yourself comfortable and patiently wait your turn!
He was not able to have his boosters tonight as he is battling an ear infection. His Vet is hoping that by next week he shall be able to have his boosters.
The Bakers Dozen of BHRR’s Juniper!
*DNA Proven To Be GD/Wolfie
She had an awesome OVERNIGHT special picnic play date!
When I arrived to pick her up, she was totally relaxed, social, happy and very comfortable.
I am so freaking proud of her progress!!!
She fit right into their home – they are perma fostering a BHRR dog, have another dog of their own and cats plus chickens and an over 10 year old human ? – and BHRR’s Juniper did fantastic!!
A little wobbly on their stairs yet she got the job done!
Thank you again to this home for giving her this incredibly positive personal experience and in being open in sending us a testimonial for her blog.
We work so hard to set our dogs up for success and thank you for helping us do this for BHRR’s Juniper.
She remains AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION to that right matched forever loving adoptive home!
In the second picture, you can really see her beautiful Wolfie coat coming out.
Another photo of the handsome man!
AND here is The Bakers Dozen of BHRR’s Fletcher on his own OVERNIGHT special picnic play date!
I hear that he is doing well! Took about an hour of them being patient and passively ignoring him and then he settled in and was comfortable exploring and is now like their shadow. 
This home also has cats as did the home of his last play date.
I remain very grateful to so many for helping us help these incredible BHRR dogs become that much more well rounded plus balanced! It is so important for them to keep getting into the hands of other kind souls.
From our home to all of our friends, family & supporters, good night wishes being sent!
Two of The Bakers Dozen Pups are on their own special OVERNIGHT picnic play dates.
We have a total 16 special Dates for 2018!
BHRR’s Juniper – featured in the below photo and the home having the date says she is ‘adorable!’
BHRR’s Fletcher – is also on his own date and we have not yet received any update/photo’s and I shall touch base shortly with them to see how things are going!
BHRR’s Hollywood
The next in need of us!
She is a 7 month old CC. Surrendered as snapped at an adult over food – no contact made. The pound has found her to be uneasy when tested yet no snapping etc. noted.
She is undersocialised, resources and has territorial tendencies plus is shy.
ETA to BHRR TBA
NOT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
My last post for my night….
I sincerely wish it was a good news one….
BHRR’s Big Benjamin, one of our Haven Dogs had been having some sneezing with resulting nose bleeds. After being referred to a specialist, it has been confirmed and he has been diagnosed with an inoperable nasal tumour.
This fine man is just shy of 8.5 years young and this saddens us immensely.
We always shall remain about quality of life and at this time, he is happy Big Ben, eating, drinking, breathing and resting well. Other than the intermittent nose bleeds,one would not know at this moment that something horrible is growing inside of him…..
Due to his age, he was not considered a great candidate for radiation or chemo either. We want the time that he has left to be the best that we can give him and we would do whatever was recommended for him by the experts.
We sincerely hope that he shall be going strong for our upcoming annual June BHRR ‘EXPERIENCE’ mini open house so that so many can love on him one more time……
As with the tradition that we started way back in the day, we are ensuring that he is visiting all of his favourite people and places and having extra special play dates plus visits.
This boy is truly exceptional and this is so unfair…..
On behalf of Big Ben, we ask that you hug your loved ones extra longer tonight and tell people/pets how much you do care, for no one knows what tomorrow shall bring….
UPDATE: BHRR’s Mavericks UPC results are in and he does NOT have Lymes disease. We just have to ensure that he does not any have further tick exposure and so we hope that by switching to Simparica from Bravecto will assist with that!
NOW, we move on to the Dental and then two weeks post dental, we will repeat his bloodwork and hopefully between the cleaning and the additional arthritis management regime, his globulin levels will have come back down to normal.
AND this photo was taken of him on our way into KAH! He loves to lay his head on the console.
He has done that every car right since his transport to Rescue in 2013.
The Bakers Dozen had their next professional photo shoot today!
Thank you to Elaine, Ashley & The Boerskins for helping to puppy wrangle!
This is a candid that I took!
BHRR’s Oliver you thrived under the quiet calm and kind touch of Ashley as I knew you would! While slightly anxious, you were so much more relaxed this time.
BHRR’s Fletcher, while you still had some anxiety, you rocked this session a million times better than February’s and the camera was not as scary to you! Good boy! You even allowed me to take more than a step away from you for your pictures as the camera made you not as nervous.
BHRR’s Furry Murray – what can I say?! You remain the class clown and a true ham! Content to do whatever as long as I remained within your sight….while you wanted to be closer to me, you were great at being Mr. Independent overall.
BHRR’s Everly – as gorgeous as ever and as busy as ever! You gave Elaine quite the work out! Such a delightful handful!
BHRR’s Juniper – the queen of selective hearing and you are quite the busy bee yourself.
You and your sister are not for the faint of heart 
and to all of my GD/Wolfie Babies, you did so well today….we can see where the distraction training has greatly improved from February’s professional photo’s and where work is still needed yet as almost 8 month old puppies, I remain very proud of your emotional and behavioural development! We battle your genetics every day and use the environment to help to make you the best dogs that you can be in being as well rounded plus balanced as possible!!
Happy Friday to all!
He is as handsome as ever and weighed a solid 126.06 pounds! Since he first arrived into Rescue, he has put on 30.14 pounds! WTG!
Once we figure out the tick disease status, he shall then have a dental cleaning. He has elevated globulins so his Vet has been trying to determine the cause.
With him having been placed on Detamaxx, his Vet felt that maybe as his comfort level increases from the arthritis being better managed, maybe his globulin levels will go down.
We are taking it all one step at a time and he rocked the car ride, the vet visit, the urine collection by cysto and well, he was just a ROCKSTAR as always!!
Our Iron Man is almost a $25,000 dog having had four leg surgeries and he has a fan club that spans the world!!
A BIG shout out to the Deon Family (Ashley Deon, Lisa Jenkins Deon)!
They so generously collected beer bottles and cashed them in with the monies coming to BHRR!
They raised $45! WOW! Amazing!

BHRR’s Booker aka Mr. Squishie
ADOPTED!
Some things are just meant to be and this home-visit was as close to perfect as could be.
Emotional for all involved and BHRR’s Booker chose his forever loving adoptive mama. How it should always be…we may speak for the dogs yet we only say out loud what they are clearly expressing and he is now home!
Kinsley, that you could love as fiercely as you do and be brave plus strong enough to let Mr. Squishie go makes me so proud of you. You are right when you said at the home-visit that so many of those you adore and those that adore you have left – most recently The Bakers Dozen of BHRR’s Sprocket, BHRR’s Carlsberg and now BHRR’s Booker. Your heart is huge and your compassion even more so.
Your selflessness to let these cherished animals go makes me love you all the more. Today was very hard on you and your tears were shared by every single one of us today at that home-visit. I know there is so much happiness in those tears too for you only want what is best for each dog yet I know that today was extremely difficult.
You are so correct when you said that there shall never me another Squishie and you have helped make him that incredibly special pup that he is now. Thank you for that!
Thank you and to so many others that stepped up in his time of need to help us help him!
We always wish that all home-visits could flow this easily and thank you to BHRR’s Booker’s new forever loving adoptive mama for going through the detailed adoption process and opening up your home to us today. Thank you for your time and openly welcoming kind presence!
As mentioned to this home, they are as close to perfect as we could have ever wished for this fabu DDB.
We are going to miss you something terrible and the tears flowed freely upon our walk back to our car with Lucie yet we must think to ourselves that we have not lost BHRR’s Booker, we have in fact gained an amazing soul that we are thrilled to have as our newest BHRR family member!
This is not good-bye Mr. Squishie, this is the beginning of a beautiful new chapter in your life…..many many many new chapters!
Thank you again Lucie for being with us today to do this home-visit, your caring support for Kinsley and now Kinsley and I are working our way slowly home….
For me on a side note – I am proud of myself for driving by the CN Tower! 
Holy! This country gal does not know how city folk do it with all of the traffic and construction and speeding and people and….and….. 
Good Morning!
Mr. Squishie had a good night! A bit restless yet ate his supper and breakfast great and has settled in well at the hotel. Very proud of you!
We are off shortly to do the home-visit and I know so many of us are filled with deep and mixed emotions as we all adore The Books….yet please be assured that unless this is the right matched personality fit for him, he will not be adopted.
Good Sunday AM to everyone!
Adopted to his forever loving home (his story)
Mr. Squishie is doing well. He has been a bit unsure with the hotel so we have gone up to several groups of people at the hotel, asking if they would not mind giving him treats and spending some time talking and being around him and when BHRR’s Booker was ready, give him some loving gentle touches.
Very proud of Mr. Squishie and so thankful to so many – three separate groups and one person came back to see us later and brought their wife – I heard she was jealous that she had not gotten the chance to meet him! – to talk and love on Mr. Squishie! They used to own an EM just like our sweet RIP Guinness. There are truly so many wonderful people in the world!
Thank you to all that helped us set him up for success and demonstrated patience and understanding and so much kindness!
He is now crashed out on Kinsley’s bed and I am not ‘noticing’ it at all… As this could well be the last night the two of them have together, let them be as close together as can be.
From our hotel room to all of our friends, family and supporters good night wishes being sent!
We will update as we can!
AND we are here!!
Someone is being quite watchful over ‘his’ kid with the people around and needing some gentle reminders that this is not necessary.
Tomorrow, from here – only place close enough that had a room available to take a large breed dog – we will make the remainder (just under 1 hour) drive to do the home-visit!
Pit Stop!
Port Hope!
Mr. Squishie & his kid!!
AND we are on our way!!
Tomorrow is the home-visit for Mr. Squishie’s possible approved adoption. We will update once we arrive to our hotel!
What a glorious day for a drive!
BHRR’s Calla – ~8.5 months of age
May 3rd, 2018
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!
She is ready to make her own special announcement!
This girl is all lean solid muscle and full of Kanga-Dane love! She is smart, beautiful, playful – loves toys like I have not seen a Dane love to this level in some time! – and is so affectionate.
She is extremely patient, tolerant – she puts up with The Bakers Dozen pack mentality activities with grace and acceptance!
We will consider a home that works ft, pt, works from home, is semi-retired or is retired as she is another BHRR versatile dog!
We wish to see her in a quietly social home. A home that will not closet her away from the world yet a home that does visit friends and family and has small numbers of friends and family over here and there. We do not want her overwhelmed yet we want her part of the world, living to her absolute fullest.
She is house broken and crate trained and her SA is virtually no longer present due to her being set up for success. Any right matched personality fit forever loving home will need to be cognisant on making sure she is not consciously or unconsciously enabled. We have worked so hard to help make her realise that she is not going to be left alone for unreasonable periods of time, we have taught her that she can enjoy life being a cherished dog, we have shown her that she is important and would be ‘listened’ to and she has thrived!
She has learned that all of her needs will be more than met, that she is given attention when appropriate displays of behaviour are exhibited and that is is more than ok to ask to love!
This girl is magnificent! Easy to wash, clean ears and do nails. Where once she was so anxious in a car, she now readily gets in and settles down so well. We give her a calming word and touch here and there if/when needed to reassure her that she is fine, then she is passively ignored and she is quite content to lay down or look out the windows. She just needs to know that someone is aware of her and that her worries matter.
She loves to please and she is easy to please too!
I am so proud of her!!!
She can go to a home without children or we will consider homes that have children – no more than 2 – and will consider children as young as age 5.
While we would love to see her in a home with one other right matched dog, as long as she has a strong social doggie network in place – that is what is most important. She needs to have her doggie friends and be able to play and interact to help her continue to be the best dog she can be. As we have friends, she needs her friends too!
She is good with dogs and cats and she is 100% adorable!
Love this girl! Sean and I have said it before, if we were ever looking for a solid, well balanced and rounded amazing dog, she would be it! She is simply amazing! AND in the right hands, she will only keep becoming more awesome!
I am so excited for you BHRR’s Calla to begin this next chapter of your wonderful life!
Thank you to Jane Smith for reaching out to us to assist her and to Liz for the gorgeous photo’s as always!
BHRR’s Raven!
May 2nd, 2018
This is the first really dry day that we have had to be able to work on spring cleanup on the property from all of the brutal winter damage and BHRR’s Raven is royally supervising our slow painstaking efforts!
Still so much water and snow in places yet we can at least begin in earnest now.
What a slave driver!
I picked up this handsome dude this AM from his OVERNIGHT special picnic snack Date.
I heard that he did really well…excellent manners and so loved all the teenage girls he met….no surprise there!
After picking him up, I headed over to KAH to get a current weight on him. I suspected that he weighed around 75 pounds and he is 75.24 pounds! He is lean, muscled and can never be allowed to become overweight. With that back leg having been broken prior to Rescue, we do not want it further comprised.
After KAH we went over to PV Stittsville to visit and he got treats, wanted to become friends with the cat and got to love on and be loved on by a female Weim.
We also made a $25 donation on behalf of an anonymous angel to PV Stittsville’s heart warming PAW Appreciation efforts. They are collecting donations until May 5th!
It is going to be so important to Mr. Squishie’s future approved right matched forever adoptive home to make sure he is continually socialised to keep him developing into the best dog he can be.
Now, we are on our way home! Someone is pooped!
Testamonial From The Home That Had The Date – Thanks Dawn & Family!
| “he was a dream guest. Loved everyone he met on his walks and has excellent leash manners. Thor is also exhausted but a good exhausted. He will be an excellent addition to the right home.” |
I hear that he is being a good boy in demonstrating his excellent leash manners and respecting the ‘no couch’ rule.
I also heard that he has brought out the ‘puppy’ in the homes own handsome dog!
Kinsley misses her boy yet he is in great hands!
Have a good night BHRR’s Booker!
PS: Thanks for all of the drool & hair in my car! LOL
This gorgeous DDB is heading off later today for his own special OVERNIGHT picnic play date!
Mr. Squishie!
This year we had 16 dates won in our annual one of a kind incredibly unique BHRR Doggie Date Auction. Tonight is the 2nd of those dates and this fundraiser is so much fun plus gives these amazing BHRR doggies additional positive experiences that continue to help them become even more well balanced and rounded.
On Sunday May 6th, the home-visit for BHRR’s Booker’s possible approved adoption shall be happening and we will post an update as we can!
