Story
Looking for an ideal home for Enzo, a 4 year old (5 in April) Australian Cattle Dog, red heeler. He is a very smart, loyal companion, who needs lots of outdoor time, especially loves playing catch, so an ideal home would include a spacious backyard and even access to wilderness. Playing ball (catch) is definitely his favourite activity, and he is quite skilled at it. Regular walks have been part of his routine as well. Enzo is not friendly with other dogs, and has almost no experience with children. He can be aggressive towards some dogs and has shown resource protection reactivity. He has been leash trained, muzzle trained (for vet visits primarily) and listens to basic commands well (come, stay, sit, back, drop it, etc). Enzo very food motivated, so continued training is appropriate and recommended. Enzo is Very anxious in a moving vehicle and has had limited exposure to car rides as a result. He is great company at home and with consistent outdoor time is also a nice couch companion. He shows affection to his care giver, preferring male humans and is a great watch dog in the home. Those familiar with Australian Cattle Dogs, who have a large property would be ideal. Enzo is on epilepsy medication, which has been working very well, and has a cost of around $35 per month to obtain (with prescription). He has no dog food restrictions or other medical issues to report. Enzo has all his medical shots up to date, has been neutered and microchipped. This is a courtesy listing. If you are interested in providing Enzo with his forever home, please contact Stephen at (819) 319-0578 or thestephenmartin@gmail.com. Thank you!

Story
Health Issues - Initially came into rescue with dermatitis, but that has been resolved. Temperament - In general a very friendly & affectionate dog, especially within his inner circle. - Bear can be very excitable when he sees people coming his way. He presents his excitement by jumping and mouthing. Although learning to settle down before getting the attention he seeks, his size and weight of 140 lbs can be intimidating. - Bear thrives on attention, so much so that he does not always like when the attention is being removed. He is known to grab you to stop you from going. - Bear is motivated by treats more so than his regular food. - True to the Great Pyrenees breed, Bear has guarding tendencies of his space and his food, which can be unpredictable especially around new people. - Bear walks well on leash. But on occasion will pull should he see something of interest to him. - Bear rides well in a car. - Due to his sheltered upbringing, he does not lunge, but can get overwhelmed and tenses up when he encounters unfamiliar things close up. For example, he has been introduced to a horse and bicycles passing him on a trail. But, he settles down relatively quickly when distracted. - Bear overall appears to be indifferent towards other dogs unless being taunted by reactive dogs in which case he will initially match their energy, but then disengages. He has participated in calm pack walks well. He has not had the opportunity yet, but has shown interest in engaging playfully with other calm dogs. - Given the opportunity, Bear is happy to adjust to the comforts of a couch! Owner Suitability - Needs an owner with experience with large working dog breeds and will be a constant dominant presence in his life, reinforcing positive behaviour with consistent training. - Needs owner to have patience as he learns to trust his new environment and the boundaries set out for him. - Best suited to live with someone who works out of their home, or is retired. - Would benefit from a quiet lifestyle. - Consistent people in his life will make it easier for Bear. Although he loves meeting new people, a high traffic home with too many strangers, will most likely bring out his guarding tendencies. - Must have a fenced in yard. - Best suited to a large property, preferably in the country, with access to inside and out with suitable shelter. - Not suitable for a home with children due to his food aggression.

Story
Hi, I’m Rian 💛I’m a 5-year-old boy, a Malamute–Husky mix, and I weigh about 23kg.I know… I look big and strong, maybe even a little cool.But if you get to know me, you’ll see—I’m actually just a big softie.I really, really love people.Even if we’ve just met, I might come right up to you like,“Hi… can we be friends?”I love being close to my person.Spending time together, making eye contact, sharing quiet moments…that’s what makes me feel safe and happy.Once I open my heart, I become very affectionate.I’ll want to stay near you, lean into you, and just be by your side as much as I can.I get along well with other dogs too!I have a gentle nature and enjoy playing, whether it’s with toys or with friends.I’m a bright, cheerful boy who just enjoys life and companionship.I was rescued from a place where my time was almost over…but I didn’t lose my trust in people.I still believe in love, and I’m still reaching out for it.I’m also a pretty quick learner!If you teach me with patience and consistency, I’ll do my best to understand and follow along.Because of my Malamute and Husky side, I do have lots of energy.I’ll need regular walks, exercise, and time to really let that energy out.A quick walk won’t always be enough—I’d love a family who enjoys being active with me.I can also have a little independent streak (maybe just a tiny bit stubborn sometimes… 😊),so I’ll need someone who can guide me with calm, steady leadership.Living in a home might be new for me,so I’ll need to learn things like house routines and potty habits from the beginning.But if you’re patient with me, I know I can become an amazing companion.I’m already ready to love someone with my whole heart.All I need now…is someone who will accept me, guide me,and stay with me for life.Will you be my person? 💛

Story
Hi… my name is Gaon 🐕I’m a 4-year-old male Shiba × Jindo mix, and I weigh about 18kg.I was once placed on a shelter’s euthanasia list.Even after I was rescued, no one came for me for a very long time. The shelter became the only home I knew—far longer than any dog should have to endure.When people approach me, I don’t rush forward with excitement.Instead, I watch carefully.I’m afraid you might leave.Afraid I might be alone again.So I open my heart slowly, cautiously.But behind that hesitation is a heart that longs deeply to love a person.I simply never learned how to show it. I went so long without being chosen, without being loved, that I don’t always know how to ask for affection.That’s why I struggle when attention is shared with other dogs.It’s not jealousy—it’s more like a quiet plea:“Please don’t leave me this time.”That’s why I’m hoping for an only-dog home, where I can finally feel secure.When it’s just you and me, I’m a completely different dog.I’ll meet your eyes, lean gently against you, and offer shy little gestures of affection. Once I give my heart, I give it fully—with the deep, unwavering loyalty that Jindo dogs are known for.Home life may feel unfamiliar to me at first.I’ll need time, patience, and understanding.But if you’re willing to walk that slow beginning with me, I promise you this:I will become a dog who makes one person my whole world.A once-in-a-lifetime companion who loves quietly, deeply, and forever.Somewhere in a shelter, I’m still waiting—waiting for the one person who will call my nameand mean it for life.

Story
Hi… I’m Lala 💕 I’m a 3-year-old husky girl, about 15kg, a little smaller than most huskies—but perfectly squishy and cute if you ask me. I have odd eyes (yes, I know, they’re gorgeous 👀✨) and a fluffy body that’s made for hugs. My life didn’t start out easy. I was once on the list at a city shelter, but kind humans gave me a second chance. When I was rescued, I had heartworm, but it was caught early and I finished my treatment like a champ 💪 Now I’m healthy and ready to start my real life—with you. I love people. Like… really love them. I don’t care if we just met—I’ll happily come say hi, wag my tail, and ask for your attention. I adore gentle hands, affection, and being noticed. If you look at me, I’ll probably already be walking toward you 🥰 I get along great with other dogs too! I enjoy having friends and exploring the world together. On walks, I can be a little curious (okay… very curious 👃), so sometimes I pull on the leash. I’m learning though! With patience and consistency, I promise I can get better. Because I spent a long time in a shelter, home life is new to me. At first, I might need a little time to adjust. I may feel anxious when left alone, and sometimes I express my feelings with husky-style howling 🎶 (I can be a bit dramatic). I’m also still learning outdoor potty routines, so I’ll need regular walks and kind guidance. That’s why I’m hoping for a family who understands huskies—or is willing to learn about us. Someone patient, steady, and ready to grow together with me. I learn fast when I’m loved, and I truly want to do well. If you choose me, I promise this: I’ll give you my whole heart. I’ll walk beside you, talk to you in my husky voice, and become your most loyal friend. With the right family, I know I can be the kind of dog who stays with you for life—through ordinary days and special ones. Could that family be you? 🐾💙
