Harley

Boxer

Female, 8 yrs

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Meet Harley, the sweet old lady who somehow missed the memo about slowing down. She may have some silver on her whiskers, but she’s still got plenty of pep and enthusiasm for life. Harley is wiggly, happy, and always ready to go, whether that’s busting out of her kennel for a walk or greeting new people with a soft body and a waggy hello. She walks reasonably well on leash for her size, though excitement can turn into a bit of pulling when something interesting catches her eye.Harley is extremely food motivated, and I mean extremely. She came in on the thinner side and clearly hasn’t forgotten what it’s like to be hungry, so meals are a very serious affair. She eats fast and would absolutely benefit from a slow feeder, along with some thoughtful food management at home. While she didn’t show any signs of resource guarding in the shelter and was very comfortable with people nearby during meals, it’s recommended to use simple prevention strategies like trading up for higher-value treats and avoiding taking items directly from her. Harley is also a bit of a scavenger and has shown real talent for counter surfing, so keeping food out of reach and managing her environment will set her up for success.She’s gentle and tolerant with handling, happy to be petted, and fine with ears, mouth, and paws being checked. She seems to know “sit,” is much more interested in treats than toys, and will absolutely work for snacks and attention. With other dogs, Harley is calm, respectful, and friendly, happy to sniff, say hello, and then go about her business. She could live with a compatible dog or be just as content as a solo pup. Cats and kids are unknown, but dog-savvy introductions and respectful interactions would be important.Harley would likely do well in an apartment as long as she gets enough physical and mental outlets. She was surrendered through no fault of her own due to changes in her previous owner’s life, and she’s ready for a fresh start. If you’re looking for a loving, food-loving, spirited companion who will keep you on your toes and make you laugh, Harley just might be your girl.

Story

Hi! I'm Jack 🐾 I'm a 9-month-old Lab mix, and I've got a big, goofy personality and a whole lot of puppy joy to share. I love to play, be silly, and make people laugh with my antics-life is just too fun not to enjoy every second of it! Everywhere I go, I bring smiles, tail wags, and a playful spirit that's impossible to ignore. I absolutely love interactive toys and games, especially when people want to join in. Being around humans is my favorite thing, and I'm always ready to jump into the fun or just hang out and soak up the attention. I'm still young, learning, and growing, and I see the world like one big playground. If you adopt me, you'll be bringing home a bundle of joy who's ready to fill your days with laughter, energy, and lots of love. I can't wait to be part of a caring family where I can grow up, play hard, and be your happy, goofy best friend. 🐶💛 Primary Color: Black Weight: 36.5 Age: 0yrs 9mths 1wks

Story

Hello! My name is Lochlan!I`m a sweet and affectionate dude. I can be a bit nervous at first and I can be skittish of loud noises or chaotic environments. But I do love to snuggle up on a cozy spot with my human and relax. I love to swim, so if you are looking for a cottage or camping dog for the summer, I`m your guy! I`m also an avid fetch player, so I would love to live with humans who wouldn`t mind throwing a ball for me.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers should be fine. No young kiddos given I can be skittish.OTHER DOGS: Potentially. Me and the dog in my previous home would sometimes get into arguments about valued resources. I otherwise do well and like to play with other dogs. So if there is a dog in my future home, it would need to be a dog who isn`t also sensitive about sharing things.CATS: Potentially, with a cat experienced living with big dogs and who won’t run from me.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Potentially, if you have some dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Not necessarily.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium. HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes, but expect some accidents in the beginning.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!
