**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: Mariah! 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/. Introducing Mariah! This 5mth old high energy little lady is quite the looker. With her beautiful tricolor coat, and big satellite dish ears she is cute as can be. Mariah is a somewhat unique mix of Collie, German Shepherd, and Husky. Although it is hard to say, we think Mariah may end up being around 40lbs when she is full grown which would match the size of her mother.. Mariah has come to PDR along with her siblings after being discarded by a puppy mill. From the moment she walked into her foster home she has been all silliness and sass! She is an extremely personable pup and has warmed up immediately to all the people she has met . She is an energy-packed puppy who loves to zoom around and wrestle with her foster siblings. Like a typical puppy, Mariah is currently teething so EVERYTHING goes in her mouth. Her future forever family will need to keep a close eye on her as he continues to learn what is safe for chewing and what is not. So far Mariah is showing herself to be quite a smart little pup and is picking up on the routine of day to day life quite quickly. She has been learning about crate training, and spends her evenings and times when her foster family is out of the house in her crate. While she is quite calm sleeping in her crate at night she does still take a few minutes to settle while being crated. Crate training is an excellent tool to keep puppies safe when they are unattended and to help them develop a sense of independence while not with their “pack”. Mariah has had a visit with the vet and has been given her puppy vaccinations, microchipped and has been treated for fleas/ticks/intestinal parasites. It was noted by the PDR vets that she has a fairly significant overbite that is not causing her any major issues at this time. She is quite young her jaw will continue to adjust as she grows, however it should be on her future family's radar as her vet will need to monitor her teeth alignment once she is full grown if the overbite remains. As far as non-medical needs go she has shown to be tolerant of grooming such as baths and nail cuttings without much if any fussing at all. Like most puppies this silly girl loves to play hard! She loves playing tug of war and running around the house chasing her foster siblings or fetching toys. She is especially cute playing fetch as she likes to bound like a cat pouncing on her toys. Her foster family is working on teaching her how to relax as well as play politely, as this is a skill that puppies develop over time. When she is finally tuckered out and sits still she loves a good cuddle with her foster humans and doggy siblings. Mariah LOVES her walks! She has also been doing some winter hiking and even gone on some running adventures with her foster mom. Mariah’s potty training has come along very well. She very rarely has accidents in the house now and has started to hang out near the door when she needs to go out. She is able to sleep through most of the night now without a potty break although she does still occasionally need a break in the early hours of the morning. Mariah has also learned the command “sit” and has been working on “laydown” and “stay”. Her recall has also been coming along quite well. She is a very smart puppy that picks up on training fast. We are looking for families that are fully aware of the time commitment of a puppy and the work involved. Puppies are a total joy and bring so much love and happiness into a home, but you cannot underestimate the work and time involved in raising a puppy properly. Mariah would do best in a home with a fenced in yard where she can safely run around and can be supervised outdoors at all times while she’s still young. She would do best with one to two good walks a day (shorter ones while young), and will grow into a very active dog that would need longer activities and hikes. She is going to be a very energetic dog that requires a lot of fast paced exercise when older. She will not be suitable for those who can only accommodate a short, slower paced walk, her people need to be active and outdoorsy who will take her on long walks, hikes, runs etc. Although she may not grow to be very big, she will be very athletic and very active and only those who are currently very active and outdoorsy people should consider this cute puppy. Mariah has been showing us just what a sweet fun girl she can be! She is quite smart but also has a lot of opinions on what she likes to do! She can be quite the vocal little lady, which is quite common for the husky breed. Fun fact: she was named Mariah both because she was a Christmas intake, and her ability to sustain a high note! Because of this we do not recommend that he go to a forever home in an apartment or condo, but instead will need a detached home. She will need a family that understands how important boundaries are for puppies, even when she voices her disagreement. Mariah has been very well behaved with the other dogs that she has met, and so far has not shown any interest in small animals outside. She has not been tested with cats. We think she would do well with an older male dog sibling to show her the ropes, but also would do great as a solo dog in a home. Because of her age, she needs a family with children 7 years of age or older who can handle puppy antics, be careful to close doors, and understand that sometimes hands look like toys when playing and can be nipped. Mariah has been a sweet and silly puppy since she walked through the door, and her foster family thinks she is quite the catch. It has been a riot watching her bounce around the snow like a bunny, and enthusiastically discover the world around her. Her excitement and enthusiasm is sure to bring endless joy to the family that gets to experience the adventures of life with her!

Meet Lenny, a happy, goofy, and affectionate dog who is ready to find his forever family. Lenny weighs 50 pounds and is four years old. He appears to be Collie/Lab and Collie mix (or something very similar) and he has the sweet, people-loving nature to match. Lenny loves being around humans and thrives on attention, affection, and companionship. He’s friendly and gentle with people, does well with children, and has been around many different dogs, all of whom he’s gotten along with beautifully. While he hasn’t been exposed to cats, he has shown himself to be social, playful, and well-mannered. This big-hearted boy is playful and a little goofy in the very best way. He loves pets, kisses, and being part of whatever people are doing. Lenny is housetrained, walks well on a leash, travels calmly in the car, and has no food aggression. He may bark when he hears doorbells or knocks, but overall he settles well with routine and reassurance. Lenny would do best in a home with someone who has some dog experience, as he benefits from structure and consistency. Apartment living is possible for him, though a smaller building rather than a large high-rise would be ideal. While Lenny doesn’t have separation anxiety and is not destructive if a family lives in an apartment it would be best if meone works from home. This is because if left alone he may bark while waiting for his family to return. Lenny has so much potential and would truly shine with continued training. He would do wonderfully in obedience classes, agility training, group play, or doggie daycare, where he can burn energy, learn new skills, and socialize. He would be happy as an only dog or with another canine companion, and we believe he would do well with children aged eight and up. Lenny is a joyful, loving boy who simply wants to be included, guided, and loved. With the right home, he will be an incredibly loyal and fun companion who brings laughter, warmth, and devotion wherever he goes. Lenny is healthy, neutered, and up to date on his shots. If you live in Canada within three hours of Toronto and think Lenny could be the one for you, please reach out to our rescue at c4ptoronto@gmail.com. We would love to tell you about and our foster to adopt program. Lenny is ready to meet his people — and to finally belong.

Meet Joey: CEO of Zoomies, Part-Time Leash Tugboat, Full-Time Good Boy!! (case #7537) Hi, I’m Joey, a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who showed up as a stray and decided, “Yes, I will be adopting humans now.” After some time getting my life together, I’m officially ready to find an active, committed home that can keep up with my big brain and even bigger energy. I’m a smart, high-octane dude who thrives with people that enjoy staying busy—think hiking, training, dog sports, or basically any activity where I can show off how clever I am. I already know how to sit (thank you very much), and while I do believe walking on a leash is a competitive sport, I’m extremely food-motivated, which means training me is less “work” and more “treat-based negotiation.” I love learning and will happily trade good behavior for snacks. I might enjoy having a canine roommate, as long as introductions are done slowly and responsibly—no surprise meet-and-greets, please. I’m a gentleman, not a chaos goblin. As a proud Australian Cattle Dog mix, I come pre-installed with a strong work ethic and the firm belief that I need a job. Obedience training, agility, herding, dog sports, or any activity that keeps both my body and brain busy will make me one very happy camper. Skip my daily mental and physical workouts, though, and I may invent my own hobbies… like interior redesign. (You’ve been warned.) I’m bold, strong-minded, and full of personality, so I’m best suited for an experienced dog owner who can provide clear structure, leadership, guidance, and boundaries. First-time dog owners—this one might be a bit of an advanced class. But for the right person? I’m endlessly fun, fiercely loyal, and an incredible partner. If you’re ready to put in the time, energy, and dedication—and want a dog who will match your lifestyle stride for stride—Joey might just be your perfect teammate. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Marco is a purebred, Australian cattle dog a.k.a. blue heeler. He was born with a bilateral cleft lip. This birth defect does not stop him from doing anything. A normal dog would do. He eats just like a normal dog would eat. You just have to brush his teeth a little more often in that area to get the food out and check for grass or sticks that may get stuck in there. Please note this is not the same thing as a cleft palette. This is just a cleft lip and he can eat any type of food completely fine. Marco may look a bit different but he is a gorgeous boy. Marco is currently 5-8 months old 17 pounds. Male Heelers are typically 40-50 pounds fully grown. He is very timid and shy and under socialized but a gentle, nervous boy who has a huge heart and a beautiful soul. He does nervous pee so we are working on this and I do not think this will be forever I think once he gain some confidence, he will be perfectly fine. He gets very nervous with new people, dogs, and places. He needs a committed adopter willing to socialize him, be patient, loving , kind, and start on some basic puppy 101 training when he is ready. He is a nervous nelly but has the absolute sweetest soul. Please give him a chance !!
