• “I started school with Mom when I was 2 months old. She said i had an important job to do. We did all the things and I learned a lot before I became her #1 helper.

  — Shanan K.

• “I'm Pilot I was rescued by my current fun doting humans at 7 months old from Northern Dalmatian Rescue who took me and my siblings into their care. I was born in remote Elliot Lake and spent a month in Tweed with my foster at her quiet farm with her son and other Dal dog. I am a very shy and soft fella who has a hard time finding the fun and not the fear in situations. Why does everyone stare at me and kids rush me? The scream "oh Mommy, look it's a Dalmeeeeehsion" Yikes, kids calm down I'm not the Disney character! Mufflers backfiring and motorcycles scare me most! Why so loud, but I do love speed like them! I wasn't exposed to much during my early life in the country, but this winter I went on an amazing camping trip across 22 states in the US. I loved Texas, Nevada, New Mexico and California best! Running is my favourite thing, especially on big sand dunes. I also love water now, even the salty ocean. I'm building my confidence and being the best dog I can be.“

  — Zeljko (& Milijana with dog Pilot) S.
