Story

Hello! My name is Bentley!Do you love Canadian winters? Are you ecstatic when there is a huge snowfall? Do you love rolling around in the snow making snow-dogs? Meee too! If you love being outside in the snow, I`m your guy! If you don`t, maybe I can enjoy the snow in the yard while you watch and smile from the window. I am sensitive about handling, particularly of my paws. I am looking for humans who will be patient with me and put in some effort to help me feel more comfy with handling so it`s not so stressful. I am strong and do pull on leash so my humans should be comfortable walking a strong doggo. I`m a super friendly guy and will enthusiastically greet new people. MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers may be ok but no young children given I have some handling sensitivities.OTHER DOGS: Yes, a friendly dog who isn’t too exuberant would be fine.CATS: Potentially, I’ve never lived with a cat before but didn’t seem too worked up when I saw one through the window at GHS. If you have a cat, they should have experience living with big dogs and not hiding or running.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has some dog experience or husky knowledge.FENCED-IN YARD: Not necessarily. HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any, though my previous owners found it hard to meet my energy needs in an apartment building and felt having a space to run was helpful to getting my energy out.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily, though I may not be best suited for a home where the humans are gone for a full work day.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium. HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Harry

Collie/Australian Cattle Dog

Male, 1 yr 8 mos

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Hi, I`m Harry! I’m a sweet, sensitive guy who’s been through some big changes lately. My family had to move far away, and I didn’t get to go with them—so I’m still figuring out this whole new chapter. I really love my people and bond closely once I know I can trust you. Because of that, new places and faces can feel a little overwhelming at first, but underneath the nerves I’m a friendly boy who wants to belong.When I meet new people, I might bark at first just to say, “Hey, I’m not sure yet!”—but give me a little time and patience and you’ll see my softer side. With people I know, I can get excited and may jump up to say hello. Other animals make me nervous sometimes, especially if they bark at me, so I do best with calm introductions and understanding humans who can help me feel safe. Walks are fun, though I can be strong on leash when I’ve got somewhere important to go—using a body harness like I’m used to really helps me succeed.I’m still brushing up on my house manners, but I`m a smart boy and with some routine I`m sure I`ll get it! What I really need is a patient, respectful home that understands I’m doing my best and just need time to feel secure again.If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will truly bond with you and you’re willing to move at my pace, I think we could be something really special.
