Story
Kira was rescued from a backyard breeding program in Kitchener at around 2.5 months old. She has struggled with anxiety due to the conditions that she was subjected to as a puppy but has come a long way since then. She is highly intelligent and trainable, food motivated, and LOVES to run. She has quite a bit of training and knows many commands and some hand gestures. She is crate trained and is used to being crated at night and whenever she is in the home alone. Kira needs someone who can take charge and give her a job to do, she has been to pet expos, off leash parks, and long car rides and does absolutely fantastic. She is very eager to learn and would benefit from having someone who has the time to spend with her doing training and also playing. Her stamina WILL outlast yours, brain games like maybe scent training would be good for her. She is not fixed yet but she should be fixed as soon as possible. A loving, loyal companion dog who will always be by your side.

This energetic boy thrives when he’s outdoors — whether he’s exploring the yard, going for long walks, or just soaking up the fresh air, Russell is always ready for his next adventure.When meeting new people, Russell can be a little unsure at first.

Once he warms up (which doesn’t take long!), he becomes incredibly friendly, affectionate, and eager to be your best buddy.Russell would do wonderfully with an active family who can help him channel his playful energy and continue building his confidence. He’s smart, loving, and so ready to find a home where he can run, play, and then curl up after a day well spent.If you’re looking for a loyal adventure partner with the sweetest smile, Russell might just be your perfect match.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:55 lbs.HOME TYPE:Any!CHILDREN:Yes- potentially compatible with dog savvy childrenCATS & SMALL ANIMALS:Yes - potentially compatible with proper introductionsOTHER DOGS:Yes - potentially compatible with proper introductionsACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL:High; will need a lot of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation..TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS:At least three in-person training sessions to work on socialization, basic training, and manners**For more information on any behaviours stated above, please check out our behaviour fact sheet: https://kwsphumane.ca/BehavioursandDefinitions**Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets.
