I found out about SOS from my friend Tamara who was fostering Bernie at the time. Initially I reached out because I was looking for a Toronto based rescue organization. She told me all about Bernie and how I absolutely had to meet him. The adoption process was smooth and easy. The only challenging part was the patience we had to have while Bernie transitioned into our home but we had been well informed that he would need some adjustment time. Our home visit was wonderful and every volunteer we interacted with was friendly and supportive but also had the interest of the dog as the top priority (as it should be).

The other piece I loved about SOS was that we were given as much information as possible about Bernie including the shelter that he had been saved from in Texas. I was then able to reach out to that shelter and give them all of his information and was able to find out so much about Bernie’s history.

I have continued to support SOS and even volunteered with them! Outstanding team!

Bernie has changed my life. He has become a cuddly suck who is the kindest and sweetest dog. I can’t believe all that he has been through and I am truly honoured and grateful to call him mine.

Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart.
