My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Do you have a Kronk sized hole in your heart looking to be filled? Look no further than this silly and lovable goofball, Kronk! This energetic boy is looking for an active home that has lots of time to spend working on his manners so he can be the bestest boy. If you think this friendly boy is the dog for you, apply today!

~ Kronk would love to find a home that can keep him active and work on his training daily!
~ Kronk is looking for a house rather than apartment style home as he can be vocal and does not want to upset her new neighbours.
~ He is looking for an adult only home, due to his manners
~ He will need to be signed up for in-person training to help him work on her basic training, manners, and socialization
~ He has shown some signs of resource guarding
~ This lovely pup cannot wait to give his new family lots of love!

Regularly Exhibited Behaviours Noticed:
- Vocal
- High Energy
- Mouthy
- Jumpy
- Under-Socialized
- Possible resource guarding

Explanation of Behaviours:

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
