Jaxon is 12yrs old and slowing down a little bit. He needs someone who can take him for more walks and let him sleep on a couch. He is good in a home with older kids and NO OTHER DOGS!! He is a puggle, so he does shed a bit even with regular grooming. He is food motivated. He does bark but doesn't last long. Looking for the right fit, MUST be willing to keep me updated on him through pictures and if close enough, possible visits. Any other questions please ask

PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** 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 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 the mother dog. 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 has been learning to walk on leash, and has started taking small walks outside through the neighborhood. She is also working on her house training, which, as a puppy, is a work in progress that requires consistency from her humans and lots of patience. Her forever family should know that puppies need to be taken outside for bathroom breaks very regularly when they are small and will not be able to hold it for an 8hr work day. Currently she can only hold it during the day/overnight for a max of 3 to 4 hrs so her forever family will need to be able to accommodate a puppy schedule. She is also still waking up once in the night for a potty break. 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.

**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: 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: Henley! 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/. Henley is a beautiful 3-year-old Standard Poodle. You might recognize her as she is a previous PDR rescue. Due to unforeseen major life changes and no fault of her own, Henley was returned to Pound Dog Rescue. We are Henley’s original foster home and we welcomed her back with open arms! The growth and major strides this girl has made, is amazing to say the least. When Henley originally came to us, she was terrified of everyone and everything. She earned the nickname of “Henny Penny” as in her world, everything was terrifying. Today she walks around happy, excited and with growing confidence. When we first took in Henley, she was part of a large rescue mission from a northern puppy mill. She was living in filthy conditions with minimal nutrition, and she was under weight. Henley had limited human interaction and what she did have must have been a negative experience. She came to us as a very shut down and terrified girl. She was kept in a kennel with no socialization, positive human contact, exercise, or affection and this had really impacted her young life. What Henley went through does still affect how she navigates her world. She is still timid (more so around males) and will flinch if you come at her too fast. She prefers to watch a situation before engaging and she prefers a calm environment. However, Henley is a completely different dog from when she first came to us, and she continues to grow and make significant breakthroughs. Henley’s forever home will need a female presence and experience with timid dogs. She is most comfortable with females but is getting more comfortable around males and will interact and look for some scratches and kisses. She requires her people to have patience as she continues to progress and come out of her shell. Henley is such a beautiful, sweet and gentle girl. Henley is very treat driven and has learned her basic commands of sit, down and wait. She has completed her level one obedience training and will enjoy further obedience classes. This training will help with her confidence and is integral to her growth. She is very smart and will thrive with training and watching other dogs complete the challenges. Henely is always watching to see how other dogs are handling the situation so training in a controlled environment will give her a large boost of confidence. Henley loves her walks, and she is taken out on a martingale collar. This type of collar gives an added boost to her security in case she is spooked. She absolutely loves the outdoors and enjoys her daily walks, twice per day. She walks in the front with her foster dog sisters and is such a good quiet walker. She doesn’t bother with any of the other barking dogs in the area and will walk nicely with her pack. Henley’s most favourite spot to be is outside. She is truly herself outdoors, so Henley’s forever family will need to love the outdoors as much as she does and have a large, fenced yard for her to play. Rain or shine, this girl loves to run, play, and even sleep outside in the yard. She feels completely free outdoors and turns into a goofy and playful pup. She loves to play chase and wrestle with her foster dog sisters. She is being fostered with 2 young standard poodles and is always the first to start play time and the last to stop playing. She is a very energetic and lively pup. When the dogs are finished playing, she will run around and throw her own toys and chase them down. She has started to bring her toys to me to be thrown and will happily jump and pounce in the yard to retrieve them. Henley requires playmates in her forever home to feel comfortable. She will need one or two younger, energetic dogs in her life. We’ve had several functions at our place and Henley easily accepted new people into her space. She will not be a social butterfly; however, she will approach people on her own terms. If they are sitting down, she will approach each person and quietly sniff and sometimes even lick them. She may also stick around and look for some scratches from your guests. My advice to any of my guests was just to leave her alone and to pretend like she wasn’t there. Henley continues to grow and she becomes more comfortable every day. Henley follows her foster dog sisters around the house and will sleep on the dog’s beds with them or even the couch. She has made herself at home and loves to be around her humans and pack. She is house trained and will go a full 8 hours without any issue. In the morning, this seems to be the one time that she lets her guard down. She will hop onto my bed with the other dogs and will allows scratches, belly rubs and lots of kisses. But after that, she is ready to move! She is so excited to start each new day. Sometimes her exuberance is a bit much before a cup of coffee 😊 She is so excited that she will bark/yip all the way to the back door. We are working on this; however, it is definitely a work in progress. She loves outside so much that she has a hard time containing her excitement. Henley is still learning how to be a dog and gains most of her knowledge and confidence from her pack. Through the other dogs, she has learned how to properly interact, and her confidence continues to grow. Henley needs to live with a young, energetic, and confident dog. She needs a playmate that can keep up with her energy levels and show her how to navigate through our scary world. Henley is a Standard Poodle and has a beautiful cream and red coat. She is considered hypoallergenic as she is a hair breed dog. With this comes regular brushing, bathing, ear cleaning and grooming. Henley has handled all of her baths and grooming well. Keep her coat short and tidy and you should be able to keep any matting from occurring. Henley’s ideal home will be one with direct access to a safe fenced, large yard in a quiet rural setting or quiet neighbourhood. She can get overwhelmed by a lot of traffic noises and will not enjoy busy areas where a lot of people are around her. Henley requires an adult only home or a home with older teenage children. Henley has been fantastic with every dog in our home and bonds quickly with her pack. She needs another dog in the home as she loves to play and requires their guidance. However, what Henley needs most is a person or people who are kind, and patient and experienced in working with timid dogs. She has made huge strides in her foster home and is ready to move on to the next stage of her life in a loving forever home. Henley is such a sweet, gentle and kindhearted girl. She will grow to trust her forever family, she will just move at a different and slower pace than other dogs. It brings so much joy when she walks up to you with her guard down looking for a kiss and some chin and butt scratches. Watching her grow is truly rewarding! Is Henley the dog for you?

**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: Katie! 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/. This shy little girl is Katie. Katie is 4 year old English Bulldog weighing in at just over 40 lbs. She has a beautiful soft silky golden coat with a white patch on her chest. In typical bulldog fashion, Katie has a corkscrew tail and an under bite that makes her look grumpy. But Katie is far from being a grumpy dog. She has a lovely, sweet, gentle nature and loves nothing more than being cuddled and petted. Katie came into foster care with her breeding companion from a breeding for profit puppy mill operation. They were not producing puppies so they were discarded as they served no financial purpose. This worked out great for Katie because now she can find a loving family that will appreciate her for the wonderful dog she is and not just as a commodity. Katie has been a very easy dog to foster, she didn’t even bark her first nights here and she would indicate by whimpering and shifting on her feet she needed to go outside to the bathroom. Katie will need to find a home that will help her build up her confidence as she is very submissive and will has tendency to roll on her back when you touch her or put her coat on. She will also sit on your feet and push into your legs for security. That being said, this lovely girl is “move in ready”. She loves anyone who will pet her. And as an added bonus she is housebroken and is generally well behaved in the house. She bathes and grooms well and even enjoys the massaging feel of the spray nozzle. She is okay with the blow dryer too. Anyone adopting Katie should be aware that as part of the grooming requirements the folds of her face will need to be cleaned regularly so she does not get skin infections. She is good with this, but doesn’t like the smell of the face wipes. A soft baby cloth and soapy water would also work. Katie has a playful side and is all wiggles and bounces when you engage her in play. But when she is not, playing, wandering around sniffing things, or getting some love, she will sit or sleep quietly near you or in her crate. She walks beautifully on a leash and does not react to other dogs walking by. If they bark or lunge at her though she will hide behind your legs or move herself as far away from the other dog as her leash will allow. With more respectful dogs, Katie will air sniff and stand quietly if her foster mom stops to chat to other dog walkers. She would do well in either a house or apartment as her exercise need are minimal and she rarely barks. She may occasionally whimper when she wants to get your attention. She will let you know when she is out of water (she drinks a lot), or its getting close to dinner time. As mentioned her exercise needs are minimal, a couple short walks a couple times a day and she is happy. Potential adopters should know that bulldogs being a brachycephalic breed (short nosed) have difficulty breathing and prone to overheating, therefore overexertion and exercise in extreme heat and humidity should be avoided. Katie enjoys being a couch potato and so would love to go to a family or person that is not looking for an athletic breed. She is more of a “lets hang out and watch a movie” kind of dog. When Katie first came into foster care, she did not want to go into her crate as she was craving affection and just wanted to be near you. Now she will go in her crate on command, and often goes in on her own when she wants her quiet time. She will also sometimes put herself to bed at night and then if you don’t close her door, she will come out of her crate, look at you and then put herself back in the crate as if to say close my door please. She also crates well in the car and rides quietly. She will eat and drink both in or out of her crate. She finds her crate a place of comfort and will run in her crate if she is feeling insecure. As Katie is not dog reactive and does like to try and get her companion to play with her, she would also be okay with another calm male dog in the home with a slow introduction. A respectful male of similar size would be ideal. Katie will not be suited for a home with a female dog. Since Katie is a shy girl she was initially overwhelmed when the grandkids came to visit and would lay down submissively while being petted. But after a couple of hours she came out of her shell and would watch curiously from a distance. Katie would be fine with older less rambunctious kids ages 10 and up, but would prefer a quieter, less active home where she can be the center of attention. She LOVES attention. An adult only home or one with teens would be best suited for her, but most important is a quiet home as she doesn’t like a lot of commotion. It is not known at this time how Katie would react to cats or other small animals. Given her gentle personality she may be okay with them with proper introductions. Katie did not know any commands when she came into care but she naturally wants to walk beside you although she has not learned a command for this. She will stop when you stop and turn around when you do and she will wait patiently if you stop to talk to someone on her walk. She has since learned “sit”, “in your crate” and “ go” (meaning move forward as she tends to try and sit on your feet as your walking, “wait”, “lets go” , “outside (head to the back door) ” and “look at me” and “off”, as she sometimes will try to jump up on you . She is stilling working towards consistently following these requests. We are also currently working on the “stand” command as she likes to roll over when her winter coat is being put on. She also knows an informal “here” command and “up “(put her front feet on the bumper so she can be lifted into the back of the car. Katie would benefit greatly from continued and consistent training. Training helps to create a bond, build trust and provide mental stimulation and this will help to build up her confidence. It will be required for her adopters to enroll Katie in a basic training class. At the vets Katie is very docile and amiable to work with. She has recently been spayed and is now up to date with her vaccines and preventative medications. Katie has been diagnosed with lyme disease disease. Her previous owner obviously didn’t have her on the preventative which would have ensured she was protected from this disease. Lyme disease is a preventable disease that is spread by ticks. This disease is in Southern Ontario and we are seeing more and more of it as each year passes. We are a rescue that heartworm/lyme tests all of the dogs we take in for exactly this reason. The good news is that Kate is completely free of symptoms and is an otherwise healthy dog and Lyme disease is a very manageable disease. Katie is currently on a medication that will lower her protein levels in her urine and then doesn’t need any more treatments unless she has a flair up. We have had other dogs in our program that have had lyme disease and those dogs were managed successfully and all are living active and healthy lives. Katie has no idea she has this disease and is in every way a happy dog. Katie has been cleared to be adopted as there is no reason to hold her back. Potential adopters should take the time to research the bulldog breed. Bulldogs have been specifically bred with a unique physiology that unfortunately predisposes them to certain health problems. Anyone interested in Katie should 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 her. If you are looking for a wonderful companion dog to love and snuggle and that is easy to live with, then Katie may be the dog for you. She is very affectionate and has an amazing personality. She loves anyone who will cuddle with her. With a bit of confidence building she will be the best friend you can take anywhere. Who will comfort you on cold winter nights, whose big brown eyes will calm you and who will make you laugh with her little wiggles and prancing.

Story

Dak / Neutered Male / 2 Years / 76lbs /Coonhound x Bulldog / Dogs: Yes / Cats: No / Kids: 16+ / Location: Port Colborne Reintroducing… DAK! Formerly known as Yamper, this handsome boy was adopted as a puppy but became “too much” for a busy family with young kids. Once back in our care, it was clear he hadn’t been given the consistency and structure he truly needed. He arrived in rough shape, but we got him healthy, confident, and ready for a fresh start. Dak spent time in foster and then moved to a wonderful boarding program where he’s been brushing up on his manners and learning all the “good boy rules.” And he’s been THRIVING. He plays with lots of different dogs every day He’s super well socialized He’d LOVE a playful canine buddy at home Dak is food motivated, affectionate, loves a good sniffari, and is always excited for new adventures. He’s incredibly sweet and sensitive, he wants to please, but he can get overstimulated without clear guidance. Dak needs a confident, committed human who will give him structure, enrichment, and leadership. In return? The biggest cuddles, a loyal companion, and a dog who will blossom with the right person. Here he’s become a well adjusted, happy boy. He can play or quietly entertain himself with a stick, or just take in the world around him. He’s ready for someone who will take the time to truly know him. We are currently looking for a foster, a foster-to-adopt home, or an adoptive home for Dak. He deserves his person, someone who will help him continue to grow and thrive. Could that be you? Apply to adopt/foster to adopt below, or reach out for more info on becoming a foster home for this swell guy. https://forms.gle/HNH8mmiKGfQXfuGr9
