Story
*Yukon is in the process of being adopted!*Yukon is a beautiful, soft-hearted girl who is starting to show us just how special she is. With an unknown history, she is taking life at her own pace and looking for a home that will do the same. In new or unfamiliar situations, Yukon can be a little wary and may show some stress signals, but with patience, gentle handling, and tasty treats, she begins to relax and build trust. Once comfortable, her sweet personality really shines through. Yukon enjoys food and enrichment (lick mats are a big hit!), takes treats gently, and has shown she can be very affectionate, even offering soft tail wags and hand licks when she feels safe. On walks, she is wonderfully easy-going on leash and loves taking time to sniff and explore the world at her own pace. Yukon is looking for a calm, patient home that will help her continue building confidence and feeling secure. In the right environment, she has all the makings of a loyal, gentle companion who blossoms beautifully with time.A little bit about Yukon:-Kids: Unknown history with children. 10+ recommended to not overwhelm dog and be able to interact appropriately. All interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult.-Cats/Small Animals: Unknown history with cats or small animals. All introductions should be done slowly over multiple sessions and carefully supervised.-Dogs: Unknown history with other dogs. Potential for home with select other dog pending successful dog-to-dog interaction.

Story
Dopey lives up to her name in the best possible way! This goofy girl is all wagging tails, playful energy, and TONS of love for people! She’s incredibly social and believes every person she meets is a new best friend. In her mind, she’s definitely a lap dog, and she’ll do her very best to squeeze into your lap for cuddles and attention.Dopey is learning that there are polite ways to ask for love and is making great progress with keeping four on the floor (treats are a great motivator). She simply wants to be close to her humans at all times. Because her history is limited, we aren’t sure how she’ll do with kids, cats, or other dogs, so slow and supervised introductions will be important.If you’re looking for a silly, affectionate sidekick to share your days with, Dopey may be your perfect match!Dopey is:- unknown with kids, interactions must be supervised- unknown with cats & small animals, slow intros required- unknown with dogs, open to dog pending successful intro

Story
Meet the adorable Sheena! Sheena is a young, energetic lady looking for love, adventure and lots of treats! While she can be a little cautious when meeting new people, especially men, or exploring new environments, she won`t be able to resist pets for long. With only a few moments of allowing her to warm up, she`ll be right by your side asking for scratches!Sheena arrived with her sister Evelyn and has lived with other dogs before. She may enjoy having a canine companion in her future home who can show her the ropes. She`s done very well with cats, too, but we still recommend that introductions be done slowly if you`ve got other furry creatures at home! She also loves children and would do great with young ones that can play and snuggle with her every day.This affectionate pup is still learning new things, and is highly motivated by affection! Training will be easy as long as she is rewarded with cuddles and tasty snacks. She also has a playful puppy side and enjoys keeping busy with fun toys, especially a good chewable. Her zoomies are very impressive and her need for speed will surely keep you on your toes, especially if she`s not ready to go inside yet! Sheena is everything good with a touch of the sillies once you really get to know her. If you want your days to be filled with love, laughter and little personal space, Sheena`s got you covered.Sheena is:- good with kids, interactions should be supervised by an adult- open to cats, introductions should be done slowly- open to other dogs pending successful intro

Story
**Dewie is a Patient Paw, please ask about their reduced adoption fee and the possibility of a sleepover!**Meet the adorable Dewie! Dewie’s shelter story started after being found on the Trans Canada Highway, but he’s ready to leave that chapter behind and start a new one full of safety, security and love. This enthusiastic, people-loving boy is enjoying being cared for and no longer has to worry about when his next meal will be (or his next walk!).Dewie is still learning the ropes of home life, but he’s highly motivated by toys and treats! Using these rewards for continued positive reinforcement training will help teach him some much-needed life skills, doggy manners and confidence! An active pup, Dewie is looking for a home that can keep up with his energy and help guide him through the puppy-like behaviours he never had a chance to grow out of. He’d do best with an experienced family and without young children. In shelter, Dewie has shown reactivity towards other dogs, and we are not sure how he`d do with cats or small animals. If you have a calm, confident resident pup who could help Dewie `dog`, the shelter staff would be happy to try a dog introduction here! If you have a feline friend, slow intros should be done at home under close supervision.Life may be new to Dewie, but he’s embracing it with a smile on his face (seriously, look at it!) and he’s ready to learn what it means to be a cherished companion. Could that be with you?Dewie is:- unknown with kids, older kids (13+) recommended- unknown with cats or small animals, slow intros with supervision required- dog reactive, potential for other dog in home pending successful intro
