**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Perla! 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/. Perla is a joyful 6-year-old Cocker Spaniel with a beautiful rust-coloured coat and unique heterochromia - one blue eye and one brown eye - making her truly stunning. She weighs around 20 pounds but has big dog energy packed into her small frame. With her large, floppy feathered ears and wispy hair that dances in the wind, Perla turns heads everywhere she goes and receives compliments wherever she ventures. Perla’s story began in a puppy mill, where life was far from kind. She was used for breeding and arrived in our care with severe matting that required immediate attention. As with many dogs of this breed, she thrives on human companionship and can experience separation anxiety, which she has shown. She does not enjoy being crated for long periods, so patience and gentle reassurance will be key as she continues building confidence. While she has already come a long way and gained confidence, she truly loves being around her people as much as possible. Perla would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time, work-from-home or hybrid families would be ideal. She is incredibly sweet and settled in quickly with us, happily joining her foster brothers on walks right away. She would thrive with older children, over 8yrs, who can help provide a calm, structured environment and continue her training. On walks, she has met children and absolutely adores them, but truthfully, Perla loves everyone she meets. She has adjusted well to city life and, although loud noises can occasionally startle her, she recovers quickly. Perla truly is the whole package - funny, sweet, cuddly, energetic, and very intelligent. Neighbours often stop to admire her cheerful tail wags, and on walks, she keeps her nose to the ground, always curious about her surroundings. Given her breed’s history, it’s no surprise that she loves investigating trees, backyards, and anything that might be hiding nearby. Recently, she has started having adorable morning zoomies and when it’s time to get up, she spins in circles and leaps around the backyard with so much joy. Watching her happiness blossom has been incredibly heartwarming. Crate training is still a work in progress. Perla is comfortable in her crate for short periods when someone is nearby, but she can become vocal when left alone. Despite her small size, she can be quite loud, though she improves a little more each week. She prefers cozy dog beds where she can curl up and nap while her humans work. Her future family should be prepared to continue crate training with patience and positivity. But when it comes to car rides, she travels wonderfully in her crate and remains completely quiet. House training is going very well, she picked it up quickly and reliably signals when she needs to go out by circling or gently nudging you. Perla currently lives with two older dogs and a cat. She loves nothing more than snuggling up with her foster brothers, though she is still figuring out how to play with them. She is very curious about the cat and would do best either with a dog-savvy cat or in a cat-free home, as she doesn’t quite understand yet that chasing and barking aren’t appreciated. On walks, she is interested in wildlife (especially squirrels) and benefits from some redirection. Interestingly, she shows little interest in other dogs when out and about. Perla is learning “sit” and has already made great progress with recall. She is respectful in the home and has shown no interest in chewing slippers, shoes, or other household items. Continued positive training will strengthen her bond with her family and help her grow into the incredible companion she is meant to be. She is eager to please and thrives with routine, making training a rewarding experience. Perla is fully vetted, spayed, and in overall good health. She does have a low grade heart murmur noted by the vet, but she is currently doing well. This has no effect on her at this time. She is calm and affectionate during vet visits, soaking up all the attention. When she arrived, her coat was severely matted, and she had dermatitis along with yeast and bacterial ear infections, all of which have been successfully treated. Going forward, regular grooming, brushing, and ear care will be important to keep her comfortable and looking her best. She has had a full dental in our care as well. She had 8 extractions and there is one tooth that did not require extraction at this time but our vet advised that in a few years it may need to be removed, so potential adopters need to be ok with a possible future dental…but this is to be expected of a dog in their senior years regardless. Perla is now ready to find her forever family - one who will cherish her as deeply as she will cherish them. She is a dog who forms strong, loving bonds and simply wants to be near her people, sharing in everyday moments and offering unwavering companionship. Whether you’re working from home, cooking dinner, enjoying a quiet evening, or out in the yard, Perla will be right by your side - your loyal little shadow, always happy just to be included. In return, she will fill your home with laughter, comfort, and unconditional love. With a patient, understanding family, Perla will continue to blossom into the devoted, joyful companion she was always meant to be.

Buddy Holly Have you ever looked into the eyes of a dog? I mean really looked. Hi.My  name is Martha. Buddy asked me to  write his bio since his English is not good. Although I have never met Buddy, I have looked into his eyes in the photos taken of him. In them I have found kindness, earnestness, love, and vulnerability. I have owned and cared for three Brittanys from their youth to their elder years. Without a doubt, I can tell you that the elder ones are a delight and eager to please.  Buddy at 9 years is a liver and white Brittany mix currently being fostered in Michigan. He is curious and playful, but also has a mellow side to him.. In broken English Buddy tells me he loves to run around the yard with surges of  joyful enthusiasm. After his energy runs out, he likes to relax with a nap or snuggle.   Going for a walk is one of his preferred activities. His stuffed animals and squeaky toys are his treasures, and he can be seen showing them off with pride wherever he goes. He tells me that when he plays with his squeaky toys, he pretends to be one of them and tries to squeak back, hoping to sound like his namesake. However, he realizes this is a lost cause and contents himself with burping now and then. Buddy is house trained and crate trained. Since he is not a fan of other dogs,  he tells me he would be happy to be the only pet his home. He is informed me that he would prefer to be in a calm home with adults or older kids familiar with canine behavior who can give him the space he need and appreciate his relax relaxed way of life. Although he has not been tested with children, his calm and engaging manner would more than make up for this.  Buddy is a sturdy dog who is in excellent health and takes no medications. He is a serious alarm system. He will let you know if something out of the ordinary is going on around the house. He has an impish strain, such as digging when bored. He will be at his best if he has structured play time or organized activities to occupy his inquisitive mind. Buddy is a dog with healthy contrasts. He is able to juggle joy and companionship. He can be playful without being overwhelming, devoted without being clingy, and thoroughly faithful.  Buddy wants you to know the following:  " I don't drink alcohol or use illicit drugs. I don't smoke or drink coffee. I have never been arrested. You will find me to be of sound character. I may have bursts of enthusiasm, but I also like to snuggle on the couch and watch Netflix with you."   Could you be the one to give this sweet boy the forever home he deserves?

Meet Your New Best Friend! Jayce is a 3-year-old Brittnay Mix who is looking for his forever home. While he might be a little shy when you first meet him, give him a moment to come out of his shell, and you'll find a funny, bouncy, and deeply loving companion. Jayce is a "paws-on" kind of dog! He is famous for his hugs and will spend his time trying to wrap his paws around you if he isn't already trying to curl up in your lap. He is the perfect blend of a lounge partner and a playmate. Because of his cautious temperament, Jayce has some specific needs to help him feel safe and successful: No Other Dogs: He prefers being the "only child" and can be reactive toward strange dogs. Quiet Environment: He would not enjoy the high-stress environment of a dog park. Patient Humans: He needs an owner who understands he needs to approach new things at his own pace. No Strangers (at first): He can be vocal with people he doesn't know, but his loyalty to his inner circle is unmatched. If you have the patience to let him blossom, you will be rewarded with a level of love and loyalty that only a dog like Jayce can give. He is ready to be your most devoted friend. Jayce's adoption fee is $325 to offset the cost of vetting and help other rescues in need. He is currently located in Georgia and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad.
