Turtle Gardens has Rescued and placed over 4000 animals since we opened our doors to unwanted pets. Each is vaccinated upon arrival if needed, wormed, fed 21% dog food, spayed or neutered and started in basic obedience training. We use positive reinforcement training. Dogs thrive on clicker training. They learn HOW to learn. They learn what behaviour earned them a treat and are very quick to repeat it; be it a sit, walk on loose leash or come when called. All important to learn and continue. Our logo is the little shelter with heart but our policy is slow and steady; there IS a home for every pet. 90% of our dogs are adopted as long distance adoptions. They are transported to Surrey to the south, or Prince Rupert to the north in our TG Bus to meet up with their families. They fly Pacific Coastal to Vancouver Island or the Kootenays (Thank you Pacific Coastal for supporting Rescue dogs)
They say one picture can say a thousand words. Thank God because I could never put into words what is going on it this picture. I have been asked very many times too, as well most of the people I meet in the lower mainland all want to know what Mom looks like and what Turtle Gardens looks like. So I scurried around at the last minute and put this together in hopes of letting these pictures speak their volumes. I just wish I could have found a camera to take a picture of Mom inside, because what I see in this picture is love , wisdom and courage. She loves them all but has the wisdom to know that she can’t love and fulfill them in a way a family can. With great courage she sends them to there new love filled homes. Just gotta love ya, Mom. So please take a minute to go on a virtual tour of T.G. and the family that makes it happen day to day. (by son#1 Stan)
