Story
Hi, my name is Fancy,I came here well dressed in my black ticked fur and rust red colours! The creator of this look is from `all natural with intention.` This is how I present myself in a nonverbal form of communication to stand out from the rest! As Fancy as I may be, deep down, I am a rough and tumble kind of girl. I will playfully challenge you into my games and test your patience, your reflexes, and your ability to say no to my puppy dog eyes. When play time is over, I am all about cozy naps and quality time with my humans! My ideal home involves...Children: No Other dogs: I get along with other dogs, but I prefer to be the only the dog.Cats: I will chase cats First time dog owners: Experienced dog people are preferredHousing environment: A house with a yard would be nice but not necessarySomeone home most of the day: She does well on her own for a normal workdaySome other things to know about me...Activity level: Medium- high House trained: YesBirth date: 07.22.21

Hello, my name is Shelby! I am named after the most macho classic car. The Shelby GT500 goes down as one of the best and I live up to that standard. I am a life of the party kind of guy! I love to play ball, tug of war, and go on adventures with you! I know my commands `sit` and `down.` I listen well to those commands for a hound (so they say)! Sniffing and finding scents is what I am good at doing. My top, all time favourite game is `FIND IT.` I win every time finding things, even in the deep snow. I love to sing and sometimes get carried away. If someone I know well asks me to stop, I will give it a break. I am a very affectionate and loving boy; give me a chance to meet you and I will make you smile!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Yes, I love everyone!OTHER DOGS: I get very excited when I first see other dogs, so I need to meet them when I am calm.

MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Yes CATS: she does stay focused looking at the test cat, will get stiff and will bark.OTHER DOGS: She does react to other dogs - she is in heat.

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!
