Story

Jagger is an 8 year old border collie / husky cross. He is 60 lbs of short creamy white fur with a striking dappled red nose & ears. He has a truly goofy grin when he’s happy and his expressive toffee brown eyes make it hard to stay mad at him for any length of time. He is house trained and absolutely adores his crate. He often puts himself to bed in it if if his people are up past his bedtime. He also likes to nap on the couch. Jagger loves playtime, his absolute favourite toy is his tug rope. He’ll amaze you at how fast plush toys can be taken apart. However, he is very gentle with his rubber toys. He tends to get bored, so rotating his toys is a good idea. Outside he plays with a large rubber ball but has the typical husky attitude after a few throws of “if you lose it again it’s not my problem “. Jagger has never truly played with a Frisbee, but given the space would astound you at how high he can jump. He is very smart and learns quickly. He’s food motivated and knows sit, down, wait, look at me, with me, turn, and of course high five. Jagger leans more towards his husky side. He walks well on his gentle leader but still has a tendency to pull when distracted. He likes nothing better than to see new places, he occasionally gets car sick but this is solved by timing his meals accordingly. Jagger is fascinated by water but doesn’t want to be in it, he will avoid puddles at all costs and take you home if it starts to rain on a walk. He loves being around it and will bring you right to the water’s edge, just don’t try to make him go in. Jagger is dog reactive, and will bark and lunge when he sees other dogs. This is behaviour can lead to him redirecting on whoever is near. When unable to escape he does have some leash aggression, interpreting any movement towards him as a threat. He has been making great strides towards correcting this, and rarely reacts to neighboring dogs. He would benefit greatly from a course specializing in reactive dogs. Jagger is an absolute sweetheart. He’s a cuddly fun boy that would do well in a dog savvy home with a well fenced yard with people willing to provide the training that the high energy and northern breeds need. He needs a quiet adult home with no other pets and experienced owners. Jagger is available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue. The adoption donation is $400. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application. You can also reach us by email at GrandRiverRescue@hotmail.com.

Story

Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart

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! ❤️

Bairn

Border Collie

Male, 8 yrs 6 mos

King City, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Bairn, an energetic and enthusiastic dog in search of an active, confident owner. Bairn has a zest for life and loves to stay busy, whether it’s going for runs, long walks, swimming, or cuddling with his favorite people. He thrives on learning new things and is a quick learner—definitely a smart cookie! Bairn is reactive to new people, other dogs, and some vehicles, so he will need to be walked with a muzzle as a precaution. However, his reactivity can be managed with consistent training, energy-draining activities, keeping a safe distance from triggers, and positive reinforcement for good behavior. When his mind is engaged and his energy is properly channeled, Bairn is much more balanced and in control. This wonderful boy will need a dedicated owner who is committed to continuing his training and giving him the structure he needs. While Bairn may not be immediately friendly with new people, he just needs time and slow, controlled introductions to build trust. Once he bonds with you, he’ll show you his goofy, lovable side. Bairn is looking for a home with a fully fenced yard, where he can thrive in a calm and structured environment. He would do best in a home without small children or other dogs. With patience and understanding, Bairn will prove to be the best companion you could ask for!

Flawless

Border Collie

Female, 1 yr 10 mos

King City, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Flawless was surrendered to us from an extremely neglectful situation. She spent the first few weeks in the hospital being treated for an infected wound on her paw and on a re-feeding schedule due to being emaciated. This is an experience no puppy should ever have to endure. Fast forward to now, Flawless is thriving. She is healthy as can be, her coat is luscious and she has filled out. She is ready for her forever home. She is extremely high energy, she loves to play fetch and learn new things. Flawless has been getting better with dogs with slow introductions, and instead of being fearful and reactive (as she once was) she engages to play with dogs and is very curious. She will still require slow and controlled introductions with dogs. Flawless is as sweet and cuddly as can be with people she is familiar with. She is a good listener and will follow you like your shadow. She gets extremely attached to her people. With strangers Flawless can be very reactive and wary. It takes her some time to trust people. She will require slow and cautious introductions. Her ideal home would be with someone that does not have visitors often, and when they do they are prepared to work on building relationships. It will take time and patience for her to make friends. Flawless could possibly go to a home with another dog after a few meet and greets at Dog Tales to ensure they are compatible. She would do best in an adult only home with someone that is home often.

Story

ALL ABOUT ME Name: Luna Age: 1 year old Gender: Female (Spayed) Breed: Border Collie-Jindo Mix Colour: White Weight: 12kg / 26.4lbs Microchipped, Fully Vaccinated Up to Date, Dewormed MY RESCUE STORY Hi, I’m Luna — a gentle, elegant girl with a quiet spirit and a big heart. I was rescued from the euthanasia list at the Busan City Shelter. Thanks to my rescuers, I’m now safe and well-cared for. What I need next is a forever home filled with calm, love, and the warmth of human connection. MY HEALTH No known health issues MY PERSONALITY I have the soft grace of a Border Collie — calm, intelligent, and quietly affectionate. I love being around people and enjoy outdoor time, but I settle just as easily indoors. I don’t need to be the center of attention — just near you is enough. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or a shared moment of eye contact, I bring peace wherever I go. I bond deeply and love quietly — I may not be loud, but I’m unforgettable. MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I’m incredibly affectionate and polite. I approach both new and familiar people with gentle confidence, happily accepting pets and cuddles. I lean in close, make loving eye contact, and quietly melt into your arms. I’m calm, well-mannered, and deeply connected to the people I love. With Dogs: I’m friendly and social, especially with dogs my size. I enjoy calm play and respectful greetings. If another dog is aggressive or overwhelming, I prefer to walk away — no drama here. High-energy dogs can be a bit much for me, so I’d do best with calm or moderate-energy playmates. With Cats: I haven’t lived with cats yet, but given my gentle nature, I would likely adjust well with a slow and proper introduction. ENERGY AND ACTIVITIES I have a moderate energy level — just the right mix of outdoor enjoyment and indoor calm. I enjoy going for walks and taking in the world around me. I may pull a little on the leash out of excitement, but I listen well and follow my handler’s guidance. Sudden noises might make me nervous, but I recover quickly with reassurance. TRAINING & HABITS I don’t guard my food and eat peacefully around others I rest calmly in my kennel I rarely bark — I’m a peaceful presence in the home I’m mostly potty-trained and do well with outdoor bathroom routines I’m eager to keep learning with patience and positive reinforcement MY IDEAL HOME I’d love a gentle, loving family who appreciates quiet companionship and emotional connection. My ideal home would include: A calm, low-stress environment where I can truly relax People who enjoy soft cuddles, nature walks, and peaceful days A secure space where I feel safe, respected, and part of the family Ideally a home with another friendly, calm dog — but I’m also content as your one-and-only SPECIAL NOTES I’m not the loudest dog in the room — but I’m one of the most loyal. I bring a soft, healing energy that’s hard to describe but easy to feel. I’m elegant, intuitive, and gentle to the core. If you’re looking for a best friend who will walk beside you through calm and quiet moments, I’m right here waiting for you. ##2559291##
