Turn back the clock to December 2004. It was my birthday and my girlfriend wanted to get me a puppy for my birthday.
She setup a day to visit Labrador Retriever and Golden Retriever puppies.
After a full day of looking at purebred puppies I made the decision to wait and search rescues and shelters.
A little over a month later an Aussie Lab mix puppy was up for adoption at our local shelter.
We rushed to the shelter and quickly decided he was the pup for us.
Now it’s your turn. If you’re looking to adopt a dog and you live in Quebec then today’s blog post is for you.
Below we have an extensive list of shelters and rescues in Quebec.
My apologies as I don’t have a French version of this website.
