Story
Willow was a Christmas foster fail for our family in 2018. She has been with us since she was 4 months old. We brought her into a home with 3 other dogs and 3 cats, and 2 children. While everything went well for a few months, when she was about 9 months old she started displaying aggression towards our oldest dog. She also became more aggressive around strange dogs, however if handled properly walks, hikes, camping, etc were never a concern. Willow is a 7 year old female rescue, she is incredibly smart, maintains eye contact as she awaits her commands, she is calm and low energy, walks well on the leash, and is very respectful of people. Willow would do best in a home where she is the only pet and therefore does not need to fight for her place. She would also benefit from an experienced handler who can keep her close and under control when on walks, hikes, etc. Willow is a very loyal companion, she will lay by you endlessly, and always be by your side wherever you are.

Scooby is available through our `Adopt From a Foster Home` program. If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, please fill out the request form here: Adopt From Foster Form. Please do not make an appointment through our online booking calendar, as he is not available to meet on site.**SCOOBY is a Patient Paw, please ask about their reduced adoption fee and the possibility of a sleepover!**Age: 3 yearsA bit about Scooby: (Mastiff/Great Dane Mix)- unknown history with kids; all interactions should be supervised; No Small Children due to Scooby`s size and energy levels- no cats (required)- has lived with a similar sized dog; select dogs okay pending successful introductionMeet Scooby! This delightful boy is a favourite with volunteers, as he`s very sweet and loves a good cuddle! He`s also playful, energeticm house-trained and has great potential to get along with your resident dog! Scooby doesn`t always realize just how big he is and sometimes he likes to show his love by jumping up to say hi! This can be overwhelming for young kids, so we are looking for a home with older children who are confident around dogs! Fortunately, with the help of his dedicated foster family and foster pup sister, he is making continual strides with polite greetings. Scooby loves a good game of chase or tug, and might be an ideal match for a similar pup looking for a playmate, or maybe just a human who enjoys playtime too! Scooby will benefit from an active family with lots of cuddles to offer, and some patience while he learns your routine and keeps building his skills! It`s no mystery that Scooby will be the perfect addition to someone`s crew - in fact, his foster family says you`ll be very lucky to have him! So what are you waiting for? Email us to meet Scooby today!

Age: 9 yearsA little bit about Rue:-Kids: History of living with older teenagers but no history with young children. Though all interactions should be supervised by an adult.-Cats/Small Animals: History of living with rabbits but has history of wanting to chase small wildlife outside of the home.-Dogs: History of dog reactivity. Recommending only dog in home.Say hello to little miss Rue! This adorable lady came to us through no fault of her own and is now looking for her forever family and a fresh start to life! Rue is happiest when around her people and loves a good play session get get all of her energy out! She can get quite excited, so a home that is ok with hey getting hyper when she is is play-mode is ideal. Rue also has some reactivity towards other dogs and is not a fan of being around them, so she would love to be the only dog in the home to keep her as happy and stress-free as possible! Rue has some medical concerns that her new home would need to be willing to manage and get regular care for, such as her skin allergies and previously had some dental disease that her new family will need to monitor and ensure they are taking good care of her lil chompers! If you think Rue would be a great for for your home, come see her today!

Age: 7 monthsA little bit about Luna:-Kids: Lived successfully with children when dog was under 3 months old. All interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult.-Cats/Small Animals: No cats/small animals in home, has displayed high levels of prey drive while living with cats. -Dogs: Unknown history with other dogs. Potential for home with select other dog pending successful dog-to-dog interaction.Say hello to Luna, a little lady with BIG personality! Luna came to us through no fault of her own and had a bit of a rough start, as she came to us with a broken leg that needed lots of care and ultimately, kennel rest. This led Luna to become bored (as so many of us would be) and now she is wanting to explore the whole world as much as possible! Luna is a total sweetie who loves to meet and play with everyone, she just isn`t the biggest fan of cuddles or hugs and much prefers a good head and neck massage, and even loves kisses on her nose! Luna is still a puppy with lots and lots of energy and learning about the world, and puppies tend to do this with their mouth, so a family that can let her explore to burn off some of that high energy while teaching her the proper doggy manners is ideal! This sweet girl is also very vocal and uses her voice to get your attention or when something exciting is going on, so teaching her to use her inside voice would be great! Luna does have a very high prey drive towards cats, birds, and other small animals, so a home that is small animal free and can keep her on leash while outside is a must. As well, Luna has shown some separation anxiety related behaviors and will often bark, whine, and dig at the floor/door when her people have left her sight, so teaching her that being alone isn`t all that scary would be great for her. Overall, Luna is a sweet, energetic, adorable little lady that loves walks and playtime and is ready for her next big adventure!

Age: 2 yearsWeight: 44.5 kgA little about Joaquin: - kids unknown - cats / small animals unknown - limited history with other dogs, potential for select other dog following successful dog-to-dogA big, goofy boy with a love for snow, meet Joaquin! There`s nothing more he loves than playing, bouncing around being a silly boy, and getting lots of tasty hypoallergenic treats! Because Joaquin can be quite exuberant and gets easily over-excited, he`ll do best in a home that would be able to help properly re-direct him so he can learn proper doggy manners. Having lived with other dogs before, there`s a chance that Joaquin may do well with another dog in the home following a successful dog-to-dog! It will also be important that Joaquin`s family is prepared to feed him a hypoallergenic diet as he is prone to skin issues. So what are you waiting for? Come say hello to Joaquin today!
