Story
Oreo is a 3-year-old male Border Collie/Jindo mix who was rescued from a shelter just before he was scheduled for euthanasia. Sadly, and for unknown reasons, before finding himself abandoned and alone at the shelter, his teeth had been deliberately ground down. Amazingly and despite this, he remains a lively, energetic, and otherwise healthy dog who is remarkably intelligent, craves human interaction, and is very loyal to his guardian. Oreo has the exceptional intelligence typical of Border Collies, fully understanding various commands such as "sit," "wait," and "house." He is also deeply loyal to his guardian and has a strong capacity for forming deep bonds typical of the Jindo breed. He is truly a remarkable dog who has the capacity to grow into an even more amazing companion through continued obedience training and by establishing a trusting relationship with his guardian. Oreo is incredibly affectionate and loves people. He is also very social and gets along well with other dogs. However, he has a habit of jumping when excited, which requires caution when a person is interacting with him in a low position. With consistent training, this behavior can be corrected. Being highly energetic, Oreo possesses excellent jumping ability. At the training center, he has been known to leap over fences—not out of a desire to escape, but due to his curiosity and strong attachment to his guardian. In fact, he has demonstrated behavior where he jumps over a fence when he hears his guardian's voice outside, only to return shortly after. For this reason, families with yards should ensure proper supervision, and a high-fenced environment may be more suitable. The Ideal Family for Oreo is: ✔️ Someone who understands the high intelligence and energy levels of Border Collies, the exceptional loyalty of Jindos, and can provide sufficient mental and physical stimulation ✔️ Someone with experience in training or handling large dogs ✔️ Someone who values bonding with their dog and is ready to build a deep connection ✔️ Someone who can provide ample space for Oreo to move and exercise freely Despite his heartbreaking past, Oreo still loves people and finds his greatest happiness in being with his guardian. With so much intelligence and energy, he has limitless potential to become the perfect lifelong companion if he meets the right family, one that understands him and is ready to provide him with love, care, and proper training. Oreo is waiting for his new family! ❤️

Story
Currently in a toronto foster home I might be a mix, but I’ve got the best of both worlds — the smarts of a Border Collie and the focus of a Jindo. I’m clever, full of energy, and once I love you, I love you with all my heart. I was born in an old abandoned house, far from people and care. But when I was just 3 months old, kind humans rescued me and brought me to a warm, safe foster home. That’s where I spent the first 2 years of my life, learning what it means to be loved and to live indoors. Due to some changes in my foster family’s life, I had to move to a training center. At first, everything was unfamiliar and a little scary… but I surprised everyone by adjusting quickly! Now I get along great with the trainers, and I love learning new things. I’m really good at understanding people — not just their words, but their feelings too. When I meet someone new, I might hesitate for a moment. But give me a little time and kindness, and you’ll see the real me — sweet, affectionate, and even a little silly. I also get along well with other dogs and know how to play nicely without causing trouble. I love walks and being outdoors, and I’m happiest when I can explore the world with someone I trust. After some fun and exercise, I’m more than happy to relax quietly at home. I’ve got a calm, sensitive side too. I’ve spent most of my life around women, so I might be a bit shy around men at first. But please don’t worry — with patience and gentle care, I’ll come closer, lean in, and show you how much love I have to give. What I’m really looking for is someone who’s ready to build a bond — who’ll walk with me, talk with me, and understand that trust takes time but grows deep. If that sounds like you, I think we could be a perfect match. I’m ready to give my heart. Are you ready to be my forever family? 💛 Love, Dior

Story
A bit about Loch:- limited history with children; all interactions should be supervised; older children recommended- has lived with a cat; slow, supervised introductions required- must be only dog in home- high prey driveIf you`re an active family who likes to keep busy and understands that Fetch is the best game ever, then you need to meet Loch! He`s an incredibly friendly border collie who loves to meet new people; especially if they`ll play the world`s best game with him! Like other border collies, Loch has a high prey drive and a big brain and would benefit from having lots of toys and enrichment activities available to help him burn energy. He has some history with kids, but easily becomes over-excited when greeting new people, so may not do well with young or timid children. Loch learned the importance of respecting cats when he was a puppy, so may do well with some cats. However, he`d prefer to be the only dog in your household. If Loch sounds like the boy you`ve been waiting for, then visit him today!

Story
This sweet, one-year-old Kelpie type mix is looking for a fresh start with someone who understands that love and patience go a long way. Undersocialized and unsure, this pup likely didn’t have the best start in life, but there’s a gentle spirit underneath the uncertainty. He loves his toys and chews. Walks are hard for him as it can be a pretty scary world in the city here for this guy. An experienced, adult-only home would be the best fit—With the right support, this young dog has the potential to grow into a loyal and loving companion. This guy may fit in to country life if you ave a fenced in area where he can be contained, especially during bonding and learning his property. He would love an outdoor area to run in and a warm home to sleep in at night! Size: Medium 24.5/ 54lbs Children: Adult Only home pleaseDogs: May do best with dogs of similar size and playstyleCats: Slow introductions to cats recommended

Story
**THORNTON is a Patient Paw, please ask about their reduced adoption fee and the possibility of a sleepover!**Age: 2 yearsWeight: 30.8 kgA bit about Thornton:- no children in home- no cats in home- no dogs in home- history of separation stressMeet Thornton! He`s a sweet guy with a gentle face and if you think you can ignore him, think again! He`ll whine sadly at you until you come say hi! We have limited history about Thornton and are looking for a home with no other pets or kids. (This cutie wants to be your only baby!) but he`ll be sure to give you all the cuddles and adventures you need, all by himself! Thornton is house trained and has great leash manners (although he does get excited when he sees birds!) He does have a history of separation related stress and will benefit from a human who works from home, or is otherwise able to introduce absences slowly. If you`ve fallen for this cute face like we have, visit him at Calgary Humane soon!
