The Ottawa Doggie Club

We have started a facebook group to organize doggie play groups in Ottawa and surrounding areas. The group grew to about 70 member's in less then a week. So us and the members decided why not start trying to raise money for dog rescue organizations and charities. We are waiting for the nice weather to come so we can start our play dates :) Feel free to join our facebook group where we will be posting outings and charity and fundraising events on behalf of some of the rescues :)

Nina our Doggie of the week

Nina our Doggie of the week

Name : Nina
Age : 7-8 years old
Breed : Chocolate Lab

Good with dogs : no
Good with cats : yes
Good with kids : yes
Housetrained : definitely

Nina was returned to HH after having coming through our care 3 years ago. In both cases a loving family turned her in due to her aggression towards other dogs. Though much time and effort has been put into this issue, her new family needs to respect Nina’s fears and take care when around other dogs including not taking her to off leash parks.

Nina is a joy to have around. She walks well on leash. She won’t pull in an attempt to chase a squirrel or cat, and finds this recent snow fall really fun to roll in. She makes a great jogging partner for the novice runner. Caution must always be taken to avoid other dogs. Her adoptive family will be given techniqes to help with this, like using treats and distraction.

She is quiet in the house, and respectful of the resident cats. Since day two at her foster home she shares her bed with a cat each night. Belly rubs are like cat nip for this girl. Car rides are also great, particularly if she gets to meet new 2-legged friends.

Nina loves to tear around her backyard chasing her ball and keeping the yard free from squirrels. She passed her latest vet check with flying colours. Is fully vaccinated and spayed. She is a little over weight, but between diet and chasing her ball will be easy to solve. Will do well in a household that doesn’t feed her from the table.

If you are interested in this wonderful dog, please contact Hopeful Hearts at: adopting@hopefulhearts.ca
