General

Where is Passion for Paws Located:

We are located in Laval, Quebec. We do not have a physical location, we partner with Centre Pucci and use their facilities for evaluations, surrenders, and meet and greets. We work with foster families to host our dogs until we find an adoptive family. If the dog matches the requirements and would benefit from doggy daycare, they also have the option of staying at Centre Pucci as well!

Rehoming

What is the Passion for Paws Rehoming Program?

Our Rehoming Program is designed to help dogs find their forever home while avoiding a shelter environment. We prioritize the well being of the dog by ensuring our procedures limit stress during the rehoming process.

How does the rehoming process work?

Visit https://www.passionforpaws.ca/rehomingprogram for more information on the program, procedures, and fees.

Do you accept all dogs into the program?

No, we screen the dogs properly before they are accepted into the program. The screening process includes: Candidacy form, phone call, and in person evaluation. The dog’s needs must match our resources in order to ensure success for rehoming.

Adopting

What is the procedure to adopt a dog?

Potential adopters must fill out an adoption form, do a phone call interview, virtual house tour, and need proof of references, income, and government ID.

Can I meet the dog before filling out a form?

No, due to the fact that we work mostly with foster families, we need to ensure you are a good candidate before organizing a meet and greet with the foster family and asking them to alter their schedules.

Can I adopt a dog directly without the foster-to-adopt period?

Our standard process includes a 30-day foster-to-adopt period to ensure a good fit between the dog and the adopter. This helps ensure a successful and permanent adoption.

What happens if the foster-to-adopt period doesn't work out?

If the fit isn't right during the 30-day period, we'll chose an alternative placement for the dog, usually the second in line candidate that we already interviewed.

Do you charge an adoption fee? What does it include?

Yes, we have a standard adoption fee that helps cover the costs of medical procedures, training, and care. The fee includes a veterinary check, vaccinations (Leptospirosis, Bordetalla, Rabies, DHPP / For cats: CVR, Leukemia, Rabies), microchip, spaying/neutering, food, basic supplies, adoption package and other care. This fee varies depending on the dog's age and specific needs. We also support you every step of the way, and we available for advice and resources at any time.

What are your adoption fees?

Puppy (< 1 year): $795.00

Adult (1-7 years old): $695.00

Senior (8+ years old): $495.00

Cat: $350.00

Fostering

What does fostering entail?

Being a foster family for a dog in need means that you host them temporarily at your home until they find their forever family. A part from basic care for the dog, being a foster family may also include training, veterinary visits, and more!

How long does fostering last?

The amount of time a dog stays in foster care depends on the profile of the dog. Although dogs can usually be in your care anywhere from 2-8 weeks on average.

How do I become a foster family?

What expenses are included in foster care?

Basic supplies, veterinary care, and food are supplied during the foster period. Extra toys and/or treats you decided to gift them personally is at your own expense.

What happens if I fall in love with the dog I’m fostering?

Fosters have first priority for adoption, assuming the dogs profile matches perfectly with the lifestyle and environment of the foster home.
