In her email, dated Sept. 15, 2010, she wrote: “I just informed Joey that after consulting with an animal behaviourist/veterinarian we have reached the decision these dogs are not adoptable. I will however conduct an inspection of the facility.”

A Reminder to everyone. ALL DOGS CAN BE SAVED. These dogs were sled dogs from up north. Over 50 were rescued in Oct 2007. They have since been rehabilitated, and rehomed. Thank you to EVERYONE who participated in their Rescue. Turtle Gardens K9 Rescue
Drever replied five days later, apologizing for taking so long to respond as she had not been in the office.
“What people have to realize because of the way they’re raised they’re not highly adoptable animals. Maybe a few could have been adopted but these dogs are on tethers 90 per cent of their lives. Is it fair [Outdoor Adventures] profits — get thousands of dollars from tourists and not have a retirement plan? Is it fair they would dump them on the SPCA and then we’d have the pain of that euthanization?”October 2007, Turtle Gardens Rescued over 50 SLED DOGS!!
Let us not forget!
