Thank You for an Amazing Freedom Walk 2021!

September 29, 2021 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Our third annual Freedom Walk (and first in-person Vancouver walk) had us smiling from ear to ear, and we’re still all smiles! It was such a joy to see everyone again after over a year of what felt like endless lockdowns, restrictions, and subsequent isolation from each other. Thank you everyone for yet another successful …Read More about Thank You for an Amazing Freedom Walk 2021!

The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons

October 23, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Training a dog to get settled is not something that happens overnight, because dogs don’t understand human languages or the circumstances of the fate we’ve chosen for them. Settling in takes time and patience. The process isn’t black or white, nor is progress linear. There is no ‘typical’ timeline in which things are expected to …Read More about The Charley Diaries Part 3: Expanding Horizons

The Charley Diaries Part 2: Getting to Know Each Other  

October 16, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is Charley’s confidence. But the city slowly became a hallmark of pride, inspiration, and awe. That’s where our little Einstein is headed. Charley has been slowly gaining his confidence, and trusting his humans to lead him there. More and more he is choosing what is right, and …Read More about The Charley Diaries Part 2: Getting to Know Each Other

Our Search For Our Perfect Puppers

June 17, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

From the day I was born, there was always a dog in my life. I’d never had one of my very own, though – they were always “the family dog”. When my boyfriend and I moved in together, I brought up the topic of us getting a dog. He was never a “dog person”, so …Read More about Our Search For Our Perfect Puppers

Good Things Come In Pairs: The Unexpected Addition

March 19, 2020 by Sara Liao, Board of Directors & Adoption Manager Leave a Comment

One week after finalizing our adoption for Elle, we fell in love again when Otto popped up. There was something so special about him and I knew I would regret letting him go. But we’ve never had more than one dog at a time, let alone rescues! Was I being too rash? Would we be …Read More about Good Things Come In Pairs: The Unexpected Addition

Life with Bean

You do your research. You follow your intuition and trust your instincts. You think you know what to expect. You’re prepared for this! You’ve been searching and looking for years (in our case, we wanted to wait to adopt until we owned a house with a yard). Then you see him/her – the one!

Adopting Nikita and Molly: A Yin and Yang experience – Part 1

November 21, 2019 by EK Park, Executive Director Leave a Comment

It has been a week since we moved to our new home. Strangers appeared on the front lawn. She froze.  Gasping, shrinking into her lead watermelon form – rooted into the grass beneath as if the world was tearing away. I silently lowered myself – enveloping her with my arms, breathing in deep to firmly…close …Read More about Adopting Nikita and Molly: A Yin and Yang experience – Part 1
