Story

Barks and Meows Rescue introduces Leia. Leia is a Catahoula Leopard Dog mix weighing 28 kgs. She has a medium hair coat and is 2 years old. Leia was an owner surrender. Leia is a very sweet girl. She came from a family with 3 very young children and no other dog in the home. The family spent thousands of dollars on her trying to determine the cause of her diarrhea. She definitely has a protein allergy and what we discovered once she entered our Rescue is that she loves other dogs, and enjoys not having children around. Her previous home was just not the right fit for her. They loved her so much but were very worried that her diarrhea was not giving her the quality of life she should have. She has been kept on the Purina Veterinarian HP Vegetarian Food with other proteins allowed in her diet. She is no longer on the anxiety meds she was on previously and her stools are always solid. She now is able to retain all the nutrients in her food and has gained 5lbs. Her previous family did a wonderful job taking her to training and she knows all her basic commands. She takes vegetarian treats gently from your hands and eats 5 cups of food a day. Leia was very good with the children in the home but we believe the dynamic was just too busy for her. She is housebroken and sleeps either on a doggy bed or the couch at night time. She does very well with all dogs and enjoys playing with them and their companionship. Typical of the Catahoula breed, Leia has one eye that is half blue and half brown. She is now at her ideal weight and is quite tall as she has long legs. She is a gentle gal who loves hugs and giving gentle kisses. Leia has a very high prey drive. She could never be off-leash in an unfenced area due to her prey drive. She does pull on a lead due to her prey drive so she will require more work on walking with a lead and body harness. She rides in the car not badly but wants to be close to the family in the front if no one is in the back with her. The ideal home for Leia is a quiet one with another dog. The dog could be a companion or a playmate. If there are children in the home, it would be best if they were older so as not to stress her. Leia is spayed, up to date with vaccines, dewormed, 4dx tested negative. She requires to be kept on for life the Purina Veterinarian HP Vegetarian Diet with no other types of food allowed. A cat free home and another socialized resident canine, a fully fenced backyard, made of wood being a minimum of 6 feet high and a Veterinarian History of Compliance are mandatory to apply for our Leia.

Story

Barks and Meows Rescue introduces Belle. She is a Shepherd mix, full-grown, weighing 42lbs, and is 20 months old. She has a medium-length hair coat and was found as a stray. Belle is a lovely dog. She is quiet in her foster home and is not destructive at all. She is crate trained though she doesn't require one. As she was found as a stray, she didn't appear to have much socialization. She is timid but it won't take long to warm up to a new family. Belle is very smart and listens well. She learned the routine of the foster home very quickly. She really does go with the flow of the home. She has a beautiful, gleaming, shiny hair coat. This darling enjoys all sorts of toys and doesn't do too badly on a leash and body harness. She is very quiet in the foster home where she has a couple of other dogs residing with her. Belle will make an excellent family dog. She loves children, though due to her shyness, we would recommend, children over the age of 10. She is dog selective so she would be happiest as the only dog in the home. We do not know if she likes cats so the home must be cat-free. Cuddles and tv on the couch are her favorite pastimes for her. Though she loves the outdoors, walking in parks, conservation areas, etc gives her great pleasure as she is not used to city traffic. Belle is a low-to-medium energy dog. Belle enjoys car rides and behaves very well in the vehicle. Belle is fed twice daily. She loves treats and they will work well for further training. Belle is housebroken. At night she sleeps in her crate with the door open. A doggie bed beside one of her family members would be perfect for her. She has some of the Shepherd traits and will be watchful of the family members and alert if danger. Continued socialization is critical for this breed mix. The ideal home for Belle is a home that's fairly quiet. A family that will take her to obedience training is crucial for this breed mix. Belle will make their family proud when she excels at all her training courses. A family that will include her in their activities is important as well. A structured schedule for her daily routine is important for this breed mix. Belle is spayed, up to date with vaccines, heartworm tested negative, and dewormed. A fully fenced backyard and a Veterinarian History of Compliance are mandatory to apply for our Belle.

Story

Barks and Meows Rescue introduces Gunner. He is a yellow labrador Retriever who was born in May 2021. He weighs 57lbs and has a medium-length hair coat. Gunner was transferred to our Rescue where the opportunity for adoption is much greater here. Gunner is a very happy active boy. He requires stimulation as he is on the move a great deal of the day. He loves playing with other dogs, especially chasing. He is very fast and will try and herd the other dog/dogs he is playing with. Gunner is very social with children and people. He was in foster care at another rescue since he was 4 months old but never found the right family. Gunner is astute and has excellent recall. He would benefit and excel from obedience classes. He rides well in a vehicle and loves car rides. Gunner needs work and practice walking on a lead and body harness. He has a 1/4 acre, fully fenced area, to run on at his foster home so is not used to going for walks. He would do fine in a home with older children as the younger ones, he would bowl over accidentally when he gets playful. The ideal home for Gunner is one where the family includes him in their outdoor activities. He needs to be able to run a good hour or perhaps go on a good long hike when it's not hot out. He requires mental stimulation so leaving him home with some toys won't work for this boy at his age. He is still a big puppy but housebroken. Gunner is neutered, up to date with vaccines, 4dx tested negative, dewormed, and on heartworm/flea/tick prevention. Thank you very much Melissa Caron Photography for these lovely photos you took.

Pablo

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 9 mos

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

Meet Pablo! I’m a sweet, affectionate guy who loves attention, walks, chasing a ball, and being your very best friend. I can be a little reserved when we first meet, but I warm up quickly and then I’m all about the love. I’m a pretty well-behaved guy who is working on basic cues, rides calmly in the car, and settles nicely when left alone.I’m still working on my house-training and my enthusiasm for mouthing, so I’ll need a family willing to help me learn that toys are for chewing. I’m cautious around unfamiliar people and other dogs, and we haven’t yet learned how I’d do living with other pets or small children. With a little patience, guidance, and lots of affection, I’m sure I’ll make someone a wonderful companion. My foster says they’d keep me if they could—and I think that says it all!

Story

Cookie is a sweet, energetic pup with a whole lot of personality packed into one adorable package! She is incredibly affectionate with her people and is always thrilled to see them, whether they’ve been gone for five minutes or simply stepped into another room. When she’s calm, Cookie is a loving cuddle bug, but she can also get very excited very quickly and needs help learning that sometimes we can use our inside voice and our inside body.Cookie is playful, food-motivated, and loves to chew, making puzzle feeders and appropriate chew toys some of her favourite things. She is still working on keeping all four paws on the floor and using her mouth appropriately when excited, as she may jump up and nip during play. Her foster has already seen improvement with this, and she does best when people keep movements slow and voices calm. She is also comfortable and quiet in her crate, sleeps happily in it overnight, and has had no issues with resource guarding.Cookie is still learning about the world and can be nervous and easily overstimulated outside. She currently finds walks challenging, is very distracted by her surroundings, and may bark or lunge at passing cars, bikes, people, and other sights or noises. She will need an adopter committed to helping her build confidence, learn leash skills, and work on her impulse control. She is also still working on housetraining and does not reliably let you know when she needs to go outside.If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate pup who will keep you entertained and give you plenty to work on together, Cookie may be your girl! She has a wonderful sweet side underneath all that excitement and will thrive with someone patient, consistent, and ready to help her learn how to be the very best Cookie she can be.

Lucy (Overlooked)

Husky

Female, 7 yrs 4 mos

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Meet Lucy! Lucy is a beautiful 7-year-old Husky with the perfect blend of sweetness, confidence, and charm. Friendly and easygoing, she loves meeting new people and greets everyone with a relaxed, happy attitude. Whether she`s joining in on the fun or simply hanging out by your side, Lucy is happiest when she`s spending time with her people. She is currently in a foster home with children and adores them. Lucy is currently thriving in a foster home with children and has proven to be a wonderful family companion. She can also do well with other dogs who appreciate her playful Husky personality. When she`s excited, Lucy can be a little mouthy and very vocal - true to her breed, she loves to `talk` and express herself! She`ll do best with confident, tolerant canine friends who understand her enthusiastic communication style. Lucy is not a good match for a home with cats, as her instinct to chase is simply too strong. Like many Huskies, Lucy needs regular exercise and mental enrichment to stay happy. She appears to experience some mild separation anxiety but this can be managed with some consistency and crating. Fortunately, she`s wonderful on leash, settles nicely after getting her energy out, and is fully house trained. Lucy is a loving, mature girl who will truly shine in a home that understands and embraces classic Husky traits. If you`re looking for a gorgeous, affectionate companion with plenty of personality - and don`t mind a few conversations along the way - Lucy could be the perfect addition to your family. Lucy is an Overlooked pet, which means she has been here for an extended period of time (longer than most of her friends) waiting for her forever home. For this reason, her adoption fee is up to you ($30 admin fee still applies)!
