History:
Mama Freya and her 6 pups (Ragnar, Liv, Thyrea, Ari, Viking and Saga) were rescued from outside a building site after a passerby struck and killed 2 of the babies. It took us 3 days to get mama’s trust and get her to the vet. After the whole family was checked and cleared they went into boarding. A few weeks later they all unfortunately caught the Parvo virus and they struggled in hospital for 8 long days but all survived. All the babies are quite high energy and love to play with each other non stop. They are shy for the first minute or two when they meet new people but quickly loosen up and come in for pets and rubs.
Likes: having a 4-legged friend in the house is best. Having a buddy to show her the world isn’t so scary. Running, chasing balls, finding sticks. Has learned to love water play. Food! All food is very tempting, so an eye on counter-surfing. Has some food aggression, but with her background it’s expected. She seems better every day. Seems more content with a human in the room, so an at-home worker or family would be ideal. Loves a comfy floor bed.
Dislikes: loud noises, new places, her crate, being alone or having a door shut on her. Not very barky, but definitely has a voice. Occasionally forgets to not pee inside, but we are working on it. Rather afraid of using leash on own. Prefers company of another dog for outside leash work.
She is very, very sweet tempered and will be a wonderful dog considering her puppyhood.

The majority of our dogs are adopted before traveling to Canada. We are a foster based rescue, so a meet & greet can be arranged with some dogs that are already here.

More about this rescue
We are so much more than a dog rescue! We are a community of incredible volunteers with one goal in mind: To help dogs in need find a loving, forever home. We are moms and dads, sisters and daughters, sons and brothers from all walks of life. We have come together with one goal in mind: To help dogs that need it most. Those on death row, those lost, those hungry those broken-hearted. We will work and work and work until we find a family for each one of them. We will not stop until each one of our dogs has the one thing they wish for: the safety of a home and the love of a family. We are foster based. This means we do not have a facility, dogs are pulled from shelters and put in to comfortable homes until they are adopted. Each foster volunteer allows us to save one more dog and help him/her find a loving forever home. Since 2015, NDR has saved over 9500 dogs. These dogs are ALIVE today because of we cared and we worked and we cried and we pleaded and we drove and we checked and we advocated and we fought and we begged and, in the end, we made this possible without funding or paid staff. With no shelter or corporate sponsors. With nothing but the will of our amazing volunteers working together to help save the lives of the dogs we can help. We keep our heads down, we focus on what we need to do to help our dogs and we go to work. We have made a difference in the lives of those dogs that are fortunate enough to be ours.
