My story

Zaydi's Story Meet Zaydi: Your New Best Friend and Professional Cuddler If you’re looking for a "Velcro dog" who will loyally follow you from room to room and shower you with affection, look no further than Zaydi. This sweet, loving soul is the definition of a companion dog—she is happiest whenever she is right by your side. Zaydi was very loved by her previous family who surrendered her due to her owner having a serious back injury and no longer able to care for her. It is an honour to be entrusted with her care. Zaydi is 7 years young, and a lean 60lbs. Like with any dog, she will require a family who will be able to care for her for the rest of her life, including lifting into the vehicle or assisting her on stairs, if ever needed, as she becomes older. Personality & Temperament Zaydi is an incredibly eager-to-please girl with a heart of gold. Whether she’s curling up on the couch for a movie marathon or sleeping soundly in the big bed at night, her goal is simple: to be near her people. She has a medium energy level—she’s always up for a 20-minute stroll or a play session in the yard, but she’s equally talented at the art of relaxation. Life in the Foster Home Social Butterfly: Zaydi is a friend to everyone she meets! She is great with new people and has shown no concerning behaviors when meeting other dogs. She currently enjoys playing with her canine foster siblings, large Show more How To Adopt Zaydi was listed as Adoptable by Hobo Haven Pet Rescue How can I adopt Zaydi?

Our foster families are within 45 mins of our location. Adoption fees vary depending on the age of the dogs and medical expenses incurred. Adoption fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate vaccinations, 4DX & blood testing, deworming, dentals if needed, medical treatment or surgery for any concerns, and parasite treatment as needed. For anyone possibly interested in adopting from Hobo Haven, here are a few, but not all, criteria to be aware of: Adoption Application Instructions Please read the following carefully before beginning your application. Our Screening Process: Step-by-Step Please only apply if you are willing to complete every step of this process. 1. Fill in the Canine Adoption Questionnaire below https://hobohavenrescue.ca/dog-adoption-application Form Completion: All questions must be answered for the form to submit. If a question or date does not apply to you, simply enter "N/A." 2. Veterinary Quality of Care Check We require a history of how your past or current pets were cared for. These files are handled in complete confidence. Once reviewed, they are immediately destroyed. Action: If we feel you are a match we will reach out and ask you to contact your vet clinic and ask them to forward a copy of your pet’s medical history to hobohavenpetrescue@gmail.com. 2. Virtual Home Inspection & Interview If the vet check is successful, we will schedule a Zoom home inspection and interview. Requirements: All household members must be present. Format: This must take place during daylight hours using a mobile device so you can show us both your indoor and outdoor living areas. 3. In-Person "Meet and Greet" If the Zoom inspection is approved, we will schedule an in-person meeting in St. Jacobs. If the zoom inspection goes well, our next steps would be 1) an in person meeting with yourselves, your dogs, myself (Chris-Founder/President of Hobo Haven Rescue) and the dog/their foster family in St Jacobs to of course meet in person and see if everyone feels it is a good match Weather permitting we do have a fully secure fenced in area for dog intros and less formal meetings 4. Training Commitment For most of our dogs, we require proof of registration with an approved, positive-method trainer before the adoption is finalized. This ensures a smooth transition and long-term success. 5. Final Adoption Meeting Once proof of training registration is received, we will then coordinate a second and final meeting in St. Jacobs to complete the adoption! A Note to Applicants: We realize our process is thorough and may seem intimidating. However, these dogs rely on us to be their advocates. Our goal is to ensure every dog finds an ideal match and a forever home where they will receive the highest quality of care. Hobo Haven is based in St. Jacobs, Ontario. We do not export or adopt to families outside of Ontario.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Zaydi, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
