Story
Mr. McGoo was found as a stray with poor coat quality. Rescues were unwilling to take him due to the medical cost required to address his skin. With our veterinarians help, he is ready to find his new home. He is currently on a hypo allergenic diet and weekly baths. We will soon try a new diet to see if he truly needs the special diet. He has been reactive to other dogs... he is now neutered and we are hoping his reactivity will decrease with time and proper owner handling. He would do best in a home without other pets and experienced dog owners. He currently knows his basic manners and is continuing to work on his reaction to dogs.

Story
  Wolfie is a 1.5 year old red rough coat soon to be neutered male chow chow. He weighs approximately 60lbs/27.5kg but should gain a bit of weight as we can feel his bony ribs.  This poor guy has had a horrendous life so far. Thankfully Animal Services stepped in and pulled him from a terribly abusive owner. Unfortunately his life was still at risk as he was deemed rescue only at the shelter.  The staff reached out to us, sending videos of a goofy boy who sought out kindness and love. He managed to travelled from Quebec to Mississauga on an 11  hour transport in and out of vehicles with strangers 12 times! He is a big boy who has no problem letting you know when something is uncomfortable…but he also looks for affection and will push his whole body into your for contact. We are working on leash manners. He has NOT been dog reactive but we understand he does prefer females. Right now, Wolfie squints a lot due to painful eyes but is scheduled for entropion surgery to correct that. His profile will be updated regularly as we learn more about him.  Located in Mississauga Ontario…and accepting applications merlinshope.com    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We only respond to serious inquiries.
