PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Pipsqueak! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Pipsqueak is a small male Yorkie, approximately 10 years old and weighing 10 pounds. He is white/grey in colouring and such a handsome little guy. He is blind and deaf but that doesn’t stop his determination to continue to live out his days as king of the house. Pipsqueak was found wandering the streets in Quebec, taken to a high kill shelter where staff there realized he still had a lot of life in him and reached out to Pound Dog Rescue. Pipsqueak came to his foster home quiet but determined and settled into the home very well. After a few episodes of doing his business in the house that first day there have been few accidents inside since. He is not able to ring the bell but he does know where the sliding glass door is to be let outside to do his business. He will pace back and forth in front of the door until he gets let outside. Having said that sometimes his foster mom hasn’t noticed his pacing in time and hence there has been a puddle of pee on the floor by the door. It’s not his fault as he was where he should be when he needed to go outside. Keeping Pipsqueak on a schedule with doing his business outside also helps to keep accidents to a minimum. Pipsqueak is a very independent and determined old man. His day consists of walking around the house, doing his business outside, eating and sleeping. He is a good eater, loves his food and treats and is always looking for more when he finishes his meals. He would do well in a quieter house where there isn’t a lot of activity happening around him. Because he is a quiet dog and likes to toddle all around when he’s awake it would be better if he lived with a single person or an older couple with no young children around all the time. When he’s done his toddling around he likes to plop down wherever he is and take an hour or two nap to rest before getting up again and walking around some more. Because he is blind he doesn’t like to play with toys, he is happiest when he can just walk around and explore his surroundings on his own, at his own pace. He does walk into walls occasionally but he quickly learns the lay of the house and knows where to go to get his food, where to go to so he can get outside do his business. He isn’t able to go up and down the stairs due to his blindness so he gets carried but he’s not real fond of that as he is a very independent little guy. He isn’t the greatest at walking on a leash mostly due to his blindness and his love of sniffing everything outside but he gets lots of exercise in the house as he loves to walk all around when he is awake. He could easily live in an apartment, condo, semi detached or single dwelling house. He doesn’t need a big yard to be happy, just enough space to do his business and walk around to get some exercise. Pipsqueak is a sweet old soul. He doesn’t ask for much but loves the attention when he gets it. His idea of cuddling is when his person gets on the floor, sits with him and scratches him behind his ears. He just melts into you and can’t get enough of it. He isn’t so big on cuddling on the couch, he’ll allow it for a little while and then suddenly he decides he’s had enough of that and tries to get off on his own so he can go back to walking around the house and exploring his surroundings on his own again. He’s a very independent little guy and that’s what his foster mom loves about him. He is deaf and during the day there is never any sound coming from him. At night though he does get vocal when he goes in his crate to sleep. He isn’t a fan of it and will make noise for several minutes before finally settling down to sleep. Sometimes he does wake up during the night wanting out but most times he goes back to sleep. He’s usually up between 5 and 6am to start his day all over. He is happiest when he’s able to walk around the house and explore at his own pace. He does go in the crate for car rides and does fairly well but sometimes gets a little anxious to be out of the crate before we get to our destination. He loves his treats and that helps a bit with his anxiety in the crate. Pipsqueak doesn’t need a whole lot of exercise (ie walking on a leash) as he walks a lot inside his foster’s house when he’s awake. His foster mother is home most days as she works part time. He is left out of the crate on the main floor when she needs to do errands or work during the day. He is such a good dog, not getting into anything or making any messes in the house when left alone for a few hours at a time. Pipsqueak lives with two cats. He is good with them, leaves them alone, doesn’t try to chase after them no interest in other animals. He is laid back and just so chill with his foster cat siblings, just ignores them. Pipsqueak would do well with no children or maybe older children in their teens who can respect his need to be independent and walk around the house at his own pace. Pipsqueak has learned to let his foster mom know when he has to do his business outside. He doesn’t get into things that are on the floor unless it’s crumbs of food that he happens to find with his good nose sniffing abilities. Communicating with Pipsqueak is through touching the top of his head to let him know he’s going to be picked up to be taken outside to do his business or carried upstairs to go to bed. His foster mom speaks to him all the time though forgetting that he can’t hear, his deafness and blindness doesn’t stop him from being the wonderful sweet dog that he is. Pipsqueak is up to date on all his vaccinations. He had his right eye removed due to the pressure and pain he was experiencing in it. He has no vision in his left eye as there is a cataract and glaucoma in it. He has no teeth and had two oral fistulas repaired but that hasn’t stopped him from being a good eater and enjoying his food and treats immensely. He’s been neutered and has recovered well from all his surgeries in the last couple of months. He isn’t on any medication on a regular basis. Pipsqueak also does well going to the vets and the groomers. They enjoy his temperament and have commented on what a sweet and well behaved dog he is. Pipsqueak, in a nutshell, is a special and wonderful old soul. His independent streak shows his resilience from living life as a breeding male dog to being discarded on the street; blind, deaf, with no teeth and in pain. He is such a sweetheart and would make a quiet and low maintenance pet for the right person. He is well loved and easy to have around. He needs a gentle hand to continue allowing him to live the life he deserves with all the love and respect that a senior dog should have.

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Mariah! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Introducing Mariah! This 5mth old high energy little lady is quite the looker. With her beautiful tricolor coat, and big satellite dish ears she is cute as can be. Mariah is a somewhat unique mix of Collie, German Shepherd, and Husky. Although it is hard to say, we think Mariah may end up being around 40lbs when she is full grown which would match the size of her mother.. Mariah has come to PDR along with her siblings after being discarded by a puppy mill. From the moment she walked into her foster home she has been all silliness and sass! She is an extremely personable pup and has warmed up immediately to all the people she has met . She is an energy-packed puppy who loves to zoom around and wrestle with her foster siblings. Like a typical puppy, Mariah is currently teething so EVERYTHING goes in her mouth. Her future forever family will need to keep a close eye on her as he continues to learn what is safe for chewing and what is not. So far Mariah is showing herself to be quite a smart little pup and is picking up on the routine of day to day life quite quickly. She has been learning about crate training, and spends her evenings and times when her foster family is out of the house in her crate. While she is quite calm sleeping in her crate at night she does still take a few minutes to settle while being crated. Crate training is an excellent tool to keep puppies safe when they are unattended and to help them develop a sense of independence while not with their “pack”. Mariah has had a visit with the vet and has been given her puppy vaccinations, microchipped and has been treated for fleas/ticks/intestinal parasites. It was noted by the PDR vets that she has a fairly significant overbite that is not causing her any major issues at this time. She is quite young her jaw will continue to adjust as she grows, however it should be on her future family's radar as her vet will need to monitor her teeth alignment once she is full grown if the overbite remains. As far as non-medical needs go she has shown to be tolerant of grooming such as baths and nail cuttings without much if any fussing at all. Like most puppies this silly girl loves to play hard! She loves playing tug of war and running around the house chasing her foster siblings or fetching toys. She is especially cute playing fetch as she likes to bound like a cat pouncing on her toys. Her foster family is working on teaching her how to relax as well as play politely, as this is a skill that puppies develop over time. When she is finally tuckered out and sits still she loves a good cuddle with her foster humans and doggy siblings. Mariah LOVES her walks! She has also been doing some winter hiking and even gone on some running adventures with her foster mom. Mariah’s potty training has come along very well. She very rarely has accidents in the house now and has started to hang out near the door when she needs to go out. She is able to sleep through most of the night now without a potty break although she does still occasionally need a break in the early hours of the morning. Mariah has also learned the command “sit” and has been working on “laydown” and “stay”. Her recall has also been coming along quite well. She is a very smart puppy that picks up on training fast. We are looking for families that are fully aware of the time commitment of a puppy and the work involved. Puppies are a total joy and bring so much love and happiness into a home, but you cannot underestimate the work and time involved in raising a puppy properly. Mariah would do best in a home with a fenced in yard where she can safely run around and can be supervised outdoors at all times while she’s still young. She would do best with one to two good walks a day (shorter ones while young), and will grow into a very active dog that would need longer activities and hikes. She is going to be a very energetic dog that requires a lot of fast paced exercise when older. She will not be suitable for those who can only accommodate a short, slower paced walk, her people need to be active and outdoorsy who will take her on long walks, hikes, runs etc. Although she may not grow to be very big, she will be very athletic and very active and only those who are currently very active and outdoorsy people should consider this cute puppy. Mariah has been showing us just what a sweet fun girl she can be! She is quite smart but also has a lot of opinions on what she likes to do! She can be quite the vocal little lady, which is quite common for the husky breed. Fun fact: she was named Mariah both because she was a Christmas intake, and her ability to sustain a high note! Because of this we do not recommend that he go to a forever home in an apartment or condo, but instead will need a detached home. She will need a family that understands how important boundaries are for puppies, even when she voices her disagreement. Mariah has been very well behaved with the other dogs that she has met, and so far has not shown any interest in small animals outside. She has not been tested with cats. We think she would do well with an older male dog sibling to show her the ropes, but also would do great as a solo dog in a home. Because of her age, she needs a family with children 7 years of age or older who can handle puppy antics, be careful to close doors, and understand that sometimes hands look like toys when playing and can be nipped. Mariah has been a sweet and silly puppy since she walked through the door, and her foster family thinks she is quite the catch. It has been a riot watching her bounce around the snow like a bunny, and enthusiastically discover the world around her. Her excitement and enthusiasm is sure to bring endless joy to the family that gets to experience the adventures of life with her!

Story

For Adoption: Mozart! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Mozart is a lively Miniature Schnauzer cross with personality to spare; he’s nine years old but no one seems to have told him that! His zest for life shows no signs of slowing down as he’s always up for any activity, whether that’s a walk, a bit of training, or just a short car ride. Mozart is 17lbs and quite the little athlete who has yet to meet a couch or bed that he can’t launch himself onto (in order to find the perfect napping spot). Mozart was rescued from a shelter in Quebec where he was at risk after his previous family had to surrender him. He was named by his previous family and while we don’t have a lot of information about that previous life, it does seem he has an appreciation for classical music as it helped him stay calm in the early days with his foster. There’s also a chance he may be bilingual as he seems to respond to some commands ‘en francais’ . Mozart is very happy to be outside and active, he instantly perks up when the leash comes out and he has been going for twice a day walks around the neighbourhood but will also happily go on longer adventures (up to 5km so far), as long as the weather cooperates. He is excited and engaged on walks, wanting to smell everything and meet everyone. His enthusiasm will benefit from further leash training as he can react to sudden movements or unexpected people and dogs. It should be noted that his reactivity is not aggression based, but rather over excitement. That being said, other dogs don’t necessarily know how to react to this barking and sometimes jumping on leash, so it is best he does not meet dogs when in this overstimulated state. At this point, he has not been introduced to other dogs, and we will be looking for a home where he will be the only dog so that his manners can be worked on consistently over time. His foster Mom has been working on this diligently with him and has made great progress in helping him improve this behaviour. Mozart is super smart and eager to please, he just needs calm, consistent, clear guidance to help him to continue to improve in his new forever home. Mozart does feel the cold and this winter has required finding indoor spaces to help him expend some energy. He is very alert and aware of noise, so he would do best in a detached house as he may respond to noises that could come through a shared wall or hallway. He’s also working on meeting other dogs and would benefit from a private yard as he continues to work on his confidence in this area. Mozart loves to have a task, job, or puzzle to solve - he’s very smart and this energy does best when it can be redirected to something productive. His bright intelligent eyes light up when a treat puzzle comes out and he has mastered several of them over the last few weeks. Treats are also key to his crate time, he will go in without complaint and enjoy his snacks, but if he knows someone is home, he won’t hesitate to let you know he’d like to come say hi. He can manage overnight and daytime stretches (and will occasionally put himself in the crate for some quiet time), but would usually rather be on the comfy couch, when allowed. Mozart had been using pee pads in those last days with his previous family and while he’s taken quickly to house training, he has had a small number of accidents, primarily when he’s been excited and distracted. Regular outside time and walks will continue to put him on the right path. Mozart has done a number of car rides (short and long) and handles them incredibly well; he hops into the back seat of the car excited about whatever adventure is coming next. Mozart’s wavy white coat is low shedding, but he will still need professional grooming to keep it clear of mats and tangles. He is calm in the bath and will tolerate brushing. Mozart can be very quiet, but he also likes to communicate and will let you know if there’s an unknown sound or person within earshot. His curiosity kicks in and he’ll share a couple of barks to alert anyone around. He can usually be quieted down but will benefit from confidence building that allows him to feel calm through any disturbances. Mozart also loves to chase after squeaky toys or make some noise doing his puzzles. He has been caught sneaking socks if he feels he’s gone through all of the other toys, but he reacts very well to having these taken away. While Mozart knows how to play hard, he also loves to relax hard and makes a point of positioning himself close by to his foster while he catches up on his sleep. At night, when it’s time to wind down, he is first onto the couch and often wants to snuggle right in, doing his best to make sure his whole body is touching yours. He’s very content to spend some time snoozing away and won’t say no to a belly or ear rub. Mozart has been fostered in a quiet home with no other pets or kids, but when he has met young kids, he’s done very well with them, seeing opportunities for more games and play. Mozart would do best in a home with children over the age of 10 who can be patient with an enthusiastic new family member who is still learning his manners. Potential adopters will need to consider how they can support him in further socialization and learning proper etiquette for meeting new friends. Mozart has shown he can be a quick learner and seems to enjoy training; he’s been working on a number of commands that can be helpful on walks or around new people. He’ll do best with a family who can keep him engaged and provide him with opportunities to keep busy. Mozart is up to date on all of his vaccinations and received a clean bill of health from the vet. He had his teeth examined and it was determined he didn’t need dental work, but anyone interested in adopting a dog at this age will need to plan for potential dental work in the future. As most older dogs do, Mozart has a couple lumps and bumps, but the vet has noted them as benign lipomas. He handled his vet visits very well and was clearly used to that environment. Mozart is young at heart companion and his vim and vigor approach to life is nicely balanced by his desire to cuddle in close when it’s time to relax for the night. His bright personality is sure to bring a spark to any home.

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Hunk! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Meet Hunk, a 5 year old English Bulldog. He is primarily white and tan, and weighs in at about 48lbs. Hunk has proven himself to be true to his breed as a power-napper, socialite, and easy-going boy. Hunk was surrendered by his family as they could no longer care for him. His fosters say he has been a perfect house guest from the start. He came fully housetrained and knew a couple of commands. It did take a little bit of time to develop trust for nail trims, administering meds, and tail cleaning. He has since become more relaxed and has been enjoying going to family events, exploring new places and going for car rides (probably his favourite thing besides food). He is an excellent passenger. He would love to be a road trip companion and go to a lot of fun and new places regularly. He has shown his charmingly stubborn bulldog nature by being rather particular about his preferences around walks. He has a strong preference to be driven somewhere (and somewhere new is ideal) and will enthusiastically walk and explore. This boy craves novelty. Otherwise he’s ok to walk around the neighborhood, but sometimes he’ll put on the brakes if he’s not feeling up to it, or he’ll sit by the car and look at it, and then you, and back to the car again. We know how to work with his preferences now, and it’s made it more fun as you end up getting creative and you can explore new trails in the area. Hunk can be overly enthusiastic and a little intense when he sees other dogs on the trail. Hunk doesn’t seem to notice small animals such as squirrels or birds. He is very happy when he can meet people on walks or everyday interactions. Hunk is generally satisfied with 30-40 minutes of walking per day, usually split between 2 walks. Hunk would ideally be placed in a home with teenage or older children, or in an adults only home. Hunk has integrated well into his foster home as an only dog, and he needs to be in a home without other dogs. He is far more of a people dog than a dog’s dog and doesn’t need or want dog friends. His prior home had cats though and we were told he was fine with them, so a home with a dog savvy cat would be ok. A yard is not a requirement. He is generally quiet and would be ok in the right type of apartment setting but would not fair well in a high rise apartment setting where other dogs coming into the elevator would be an issue. A low rise apartment building or a main floor apartment would suit him though. He can be wary of unexpected sounds, but this is alleviated with some white noise, or reassurance as he gets used to a new space. As a new foster he was upset with the dishwasher sounds if it was run overnight (ie. When the house was all quiet), but was fine if it was run in the daytime. Hunk will bark if someone comes to the door but will stop quickly after alerting you. Hunk has a fairly low energy level and is happy to nap throughout the day. Hunk sleeps on the couch from about 6-7pm until 7-8 am. English bulldogs require some extra care when it comes to their health needs. They are prone to allergies. He should have his tail pocket cleaned regularly (you’ll have to develop some trust first though because he is not a fan of this). Hunk should have his feet cleaned regularly and be treated with chlorhexidine wipes if they are red and irritated. He is cooperative with nail trims. Hunk will require daily eye ointment to treat dry-eye long term. He is at a healthy weight, which should be maintained and monitored for long term health and longevity. Care should be taken when exercising Hunk so as to avoid overheating in warm weather. Hunk is sensitive to the cold and should have some good winter gear to wear so he can still get some outdoor time in the colder months. Hunk will sometimes regurgitate if he has too many treats. He uses a slow feeder to avoid digestive upset. Anyone interested in Hunk needs to familiarize themselves the health issues and the characteristics that are specific to bulldogs and be financially able to manage the needs of a Bulldog before making a commitment to adopt him. We have taken care of all of the medical issues he had but with a Bulldog you have to be prepared for ongoing advanced medical care. Hunk came to us with eyes that were squinted almost closed due to entropion and excess nasal folds which pushed up on his eye. He had to have multiple cosmetic surgeries to remedy this issue. He has had surgeries to treat entropion in both eyes and has had a good amount of his nasal skin folds removed since coming in to rescue. He is still healing, but it’s apparent how much better he feels. In more time his eyes will open up even more as the swelling goes down. He came in to rescue already neutered. He is up to date on his vaccinations Hunk is housetrained and knows how to sit and shake a paw on command. He plays crate games, and hide and seek. Hunk likes to play with a big ball, a treat ball, and he likes to chew. He likes tearing up old egg cartons or a big cabbage leaf (and it’s pretty funny to watch!). He is very good in the house. He is pretty content to hang out on the couch and relax most of the day, or he’ll just observe whatever is going on in the house. Hunk enjoys his crate games, and will eat in his crate (He doesn’t usually sleep in it though as he is already fast asleep on the couch long before the humans’ bedtime). It is a positive place for him. He is a quick learner and will benefit greatly from some structured obedience training. Hunk is a great companion for a lazy day at home, and for going on adventures. This boy is up for just about anything- especially if you offer him a treat or a car ride. Ideally we would like Hunk to be adopted by a person or people who are familiar and confident with the Bulldog breed. He is everything we all love about Bulldogs but they are a unique breed and need their people to understand all things Bulldog!! Would you like a super social, comical, snorty gremlin in your life?
