For Adoption: Lilibet! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. I'd like to introduce you to the sweetest 5 year old Cocker Spaniel, Lilibet. She is around 25lbs, with the softest red coat, with cute white paws, belly, and nose. Very low to no shedding. She's named for her elegant, royal, grandma-vibes. Lili is a former mill mama who previously lived solely to produce puppies. She was housed in deplorable conditions and due to the neglect and isolation she was subjected to, she needs an adoptive family who are understanding of her needs and are willing to take the extra steps to give her the fulfilled and confident life she always deserved. Lilibet would thrive in a quiet home, with people home more often than not. She has spent time with a small pack of well socialized, small dogs and quite enjoyed their company. She would do well with another calm, well-mannered dog but she would also be fine being the only pet in a home, getting all the love and attention to herself. She is a very quiet pup - I haven't heard a bark from her yet. Due to her history, Lili would not be suitable for urban, big city living. She would however adjust well to a suburban or rural environment…a calm, low traffic area is more her speed. And if you have a green space or trails nearby, all the better! She would be okay with older children (12+) who would know how to respect her boundaries and are generally quiet and gentle at home. She is also still building her muscle mass and familiarity with living in a home, so she's still learning to do regular things, such as jump up on the couch. A home with minimal stairs, such as a bungalow or apartment, or a home where she doesn’t need to go up and down a long flight of stairs would be beneficial for her as she is still learning to go up and down stairs on her own. She loves long leisurely walks, with lots of freedom to sniff and explore. She'll often stop you to show off her big smiles and wait for pets before continuing on. She's interested in other people and dogs, very friendly, and non-reactive when coming across them on walks. Her foster mama is careful with her when crossing the road, as she will often stop for various reasons (people going by, sniffs, scratching her ears, etc) and need a quick pick-up to finish crossing safely. If you are someone who prefers walking with a purpose and has places to be - this is not the dog for you. Lilibet loves to take her time and smell ALL the roses, stop to listen for new sounds, and walk sweetly beside you. Her nose is most likely to the ground, going in whichever way a new smell takes her! Her current routine includes a 30-40 minute walk around 7:30am and 4:30pm, with a 10-15 minute walk around 12:00pm and 10:00pm. She is still adjusting to her crate. She spends a few hours in it during the day, and is in it overnight. She will go in it with the cue "crate," but is already sniffing for her rewarding treat! She prefers to sleep in her crate in her foster mama's room, as she gets lonely in the early hours of the morning if in another room and will whine/cry. When coming out of her crate in the morning, she is super excited! Her foster mama lets her run off her excitement instead of engaging with her, as this will build on it and she will pee. Besides this, she doesn't have any accidents in the house anymore as she knows to go potty outside. She is a big fan of her people, and is glued to their side when they're home together. When her foster mama is doing the dishes, there is a 100% chance Lilibet is sitting on her foot, just to let her know that she's there. When moving through the house, Lilibet is never more than a step behind, sure not to miss out on anything going on. If you are a gardener or enjoy spending time in your yard, well count her in. Wherever you are is where she wants to be. She is not a big fan of car rides, so lots of reassurance and positive reinforcement will go a long way in helping her settle as she adjusts. She loves long naps beside her foster mama while she works from home, but as soon as she stands up, Lilibet is up on her feet and ready for whatever adventure through the house she is going to take her on. Lilibet is still learning what it is like to be an adored pup in a loving home. Lots of everyday things are new to her - so her forever home will need to be patient and gentle as she navigates her new world. Due to her history, she is often spooked by things around her, so giving her lots of reassurance, moving things slowly, and introducing new things to her carefully are essential to support her. She is a very fun pup, who is slowly learning that there are good things in this life - lots of curious sniffs, joyful walks, tasty treats, and engaging puzzle toys! We are very confident that the more time she spends in a loving and caring home, the more open and fun she's going to be. She enjoys solving treat puzzles, and sometimes her meals are given through a treat puzzle ball for some extra fun! Due to the conditions Lili lived in before she was rescued, she needed dental surgery to get her teeth cleaned up and had a few removed, her ears needed a significant clean (which is very typical for her breed - with those beautiful floppy ears), and she got up to date on all her shots. Her foster mama currently puts drops in her ears regularly, to keep them clean and reduce the risk of infection. She will need her forever family to keep up good hygiene practices around her ears, to ensure they are kept in good health going forward. When Lilibet came into her foster home she was in heat, and we were therefore unable to go through with her spay surgery at that time. Her adoptive family will need to sign a contract agreeing to bring her back to our vet for her spay surgery a few months into the adoption. This will be covered by the adoption fee. Her adoptive family will need to live within 1hr of Cambridge to feasibly accommodate the need for return for spay. Lili had a harder time at the vet, and regressed when she came back home. She needed rest, reassurance, and time to decompress with her favourite people at home for a few days after her appointment to get back to her lovely self. If you're looking for a best-friend to absolutely adore - to quite literally take long walks on the beach with and stop and smell the roses - then look no further!

For Adoption: Judith! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Meet Judith! This little love bug has been blossoming since joining the PDR family. Judith is a 6yr old Cocker Spaniel who weighs 22lbs. She is a former puppy mill mom who is quickly learning to embrace her new life. Although she can be nervous in new situations and locations or with sudden movements and sounds, she has been excited to meet new friends and explore her new surroundings. Judith has been learning to appreciate having a penned-in area as her own secure space where she can hang out and relax. She's learned the routines of going in her crate for mealtimes, and when she needs some physical space away from her furry foster hosts. Judith is crated at nighttime and during the day while she is alone in the house. While she has learned to settle at night she can still be a bit fussy when left alone. It is crucial that Judith’s forever family continue to work on her confidence with being solo both for her own development, and to prevent the onset of any separation anxiety. Juith has not had any accidents in the house, although she is still learning to let us know it is time for a potty break. When getting used to her new home she should be given the option to go out frequently until she develops a routine and a way to show her new family she needs to be let out. Because she can be vocal while settling in her crate Judith would do best in a detached home rather than an apartment or condo setup. Judith has also been loving having casual outside time, so if she doesn’t have a yard of her own be prepared for long casual park trips to soak up the fresh air. Judith has been on a trip to the PDR vets and has been given a clean bill of health. She has been treated for fleas, ticks, and internal parasites, and has been given all of her age appropriate vaccinations. . When she first arrived in our care she was in heat, and because of this cannot be spayed for 3 months, and therefore her forever family must be able to bring her back to our vet in Cambridge in order to have her spay surgery completed. She is done with her heat now. Anyone interested in Judith needs to live within an hour of Cambridge to feasibly accommodate the drop off and pick up of her on the spay date. She will be adopted out on a contract that mandates the return for her spay. This little lady has done an excellent job of learning to walk on leash, and loves to sniff around new places, so her new family should be ready to help her explore the world. She has taken to rolling around in the grass outside and has been quite silly to watch as she flops about. She has only just started her journey of learning commands, and is beginning to learn to sit when told. Judith is a dog who aims to please, and has done great with positive reinforcement training. Her foster family believes she will pick up on training cues quickly. She’s a smart cookie with a bit of sass! Judith has done a great job of making friends, both human and canine. She loves to meet other dogs, although she may take a bit to warm up and engage in play. With people, she likes to press her body against their legs and have her ears and sides scratched. While she continues to build her confidence, introductions should be done in a controlled manner to keep her from being overwhelmed. As she gets more comfortable with another dog, Judith likes to goad them into play time. She has shown a bit of interest with toys but is still not quite sure about how to play with them. Having someone to help guide her through new experiences does wonders for her confidence and really lets her delightful personality shine. Judith has not met any small children yet, so it’s hard to predict how she would react. Because she is still learning to find her confidence, she would not be a good fit for a family with younger children. Older children, over the age of 10yrs, who will behave in predictable ways should not be an issue though. She also hasn’t met any cats yet, though she hasn’t shown any noticeable prey drive towards small animals out in the world. Judith has come so far in a few short weeks! From being a shy, unsure mill dog to being a silly affectionate cuddle bug. We are confident that with the right family she will continue to grow into a bubbly, stalwart companion. She has so much offer and her adventures are only just beginning!

For Adoption: Amelia! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. This stunning little lady came to our home and we knew that she needed a proper name to match this sweet soul. After careful contemplation and discussions with her, we all decided that Amelia was the perfect name. Amelia is a 6yr old Cocker Spaniel with a stunning white and chocolate merle coat pattern with one warm brown eye and one cool blue eye. Aside from her colouring, she has the most beautifully long brown ears that make her irresistible. She weighs just over 25lbs and has a sturdy build. Luckily for all that meet her, she got to keep her tail undocked so you can see from her wags that she’s a happy girl. She was likely quite matted just before she entered the foster system and had a really uneven haircut. She let me brush and trim the long bits to help even her coat out a bit, but in time she’ll have a proper cocker spaniel coat of fur. Amelia came to our home from her former life as a for profit breeding girl. Her merle colouring likely made her a valuable commodity for making puppies that sell at a premium. When she first arrived in our care she was in heat, and because of this cannot be spayed for 3 months, and therefore her forever family must be able to bring her back to our vet in Cambridge in order to have her spay surgery completed. She is done with her heat now. Anyone interested in Amelia needs to live within an hour of Cambridge to feasibly accommodate the drop off and pick up of her on the spay date. She will be adopted out on a contract that mandates the return for her spay. Despite the delay in her spay, she was able to get all her other medical needs met, including getting caught up on vaccines, having a full dental cleaning, getting her ears cleaned and a pedicure. She recovered from her dental cleaning quickly and you could tell she felt much better afterwards as she’s started to explore new foods with different textures that she would shy away from when she first arrived. Her latest guilty pleasure being raw broccoli and cucumbers. Although Amelia came from humble beginnings, she took to home life very quickly and within a day or two taught herself to walk on a leash and do stairs like an old pro. Her house training as been excellent so far, but we’ve worked really hard and consistently with her to ensure she continues to learn that carpets aren’t bathrooms and peeing outside gets you all the praise. Consistency from her new family will help her adjust to her new home and ensure her success. At first Amelia didn’t love the idea of going into her crate. She has a smaller, cozy crate that is right beside my bed that she took to right away. But the idea of spending her work day in the larger kitchen crate was less ideal to her. However, with a consistent schedule and lots of treats, Amelia now happily jumps into her crate when it’s time. I check on her with the puppy-camera we have at home and I often find her sitting quietly and staring out in thought. I’m not sure what she ponders throughout the day, but I’m sure she’s doing important thinking. She rarely makes a peep, even at her most excited. In fact we heard her first proper bark just a few days ago, I’m not sure what she was trying to tell us, but it needed to be said. Even when people knock on the door or strangers enter the house, she keeps her thoughts to herself. Amelia has learned to love the car, and as long as she doesn’t eat too much before a big car ride, she’s happy to curl up in her bed and fall asleep without the risk of vomiting. We’ve been on lots of hour plus, long car rides and she does great. Our home doesn’t offer her exposure to young children, but the ones she’s met in public tend to make her nervous. She’s fine with most older kids and adults she meets, provided they greet her with calm energy. Amelia will be suited to an adult only home or one with quieter teens. While we don’t have cats in our home either, we do have chickens and Amelia is at peace and calm around the ladies, often sharing snacks with them. I’ve yet to see her show any interest in chasing squirrels, birds or frogs, so I suspect she wouldn’t mind having a cat brother or sister in her new family. I’ve had long talks with Amelia about the kind of home she’d like to have. She tells me she would like humans that love her very much and don’t mind being followed around and ones that give really good back and belly rubs. She’d like to be allowed to have naps on the couch, especially curled up with her new humans. She’s okay if you have to go to work and leave her at home, but would like a big cozy crate to call her own and to have a break throughout the day for a lunchtime snack and bathroom time. She’d like to be included on evening walks around the neighbourhood (she’s gotten very good at leash manners) and adventures in the car. She said she’s okay being an only dog, or having a new calm natured brother or sister. She currently lives with three canine siblings and so long as they don’t jump up on her while she’s sleeping, she’s happy to have them there. She would do fine in pretty much any living situation as she is a quiet dog and fairly adaptable but would not do well in a busy city center with a lot of commotion. A quiet subdivision, town, or rural area would be just fine for her. Living with Amelia is a lot of fun. She’s shown us that she likes to discover the world by rubbing her belly and back on new things. We try to let her experience new textures to rub on like grass, sand, fuzzy blankets, gravel, and she’s always happy to explore and discover them. She gets little bouts of energy when she’ll run up onto our bed or couch and rub her whole body around until someone comes to give her attention and scratch her back. If we’re home, you can bet she’s following us around the house to see what we’re up to so be prepared for an adorable little shadow following you into the bathroom.
