Story
Dixie was one of the Junk yard dogs, locked in a trailer with a few others, she was cold and nervous, jump ahead to her being comfortable and well loved at the rescue retreat she's enjoying meeting the dogs, and takes a min or two to warm up to new people. She's made huge steps while in our care, and loves a good belly rub and time outdoors. It's been a long road for these dogs but Dixie is now fully vetted and looking for a loving home to welcome her. ALL RSNB dogs are fully vetted including core shots and microchipped for safety. ALL dogs are spayed/neutered before leaving our care. We welcome visitors by appt and we look forward to meeting you! To get the process started pls find our short application at www.ruffstartnewbeginnings and we'll give you a call to discuss the dog you'd like to visit! Thank you for considering a rescue dog!

Story
After giving birth 850 km NORTH of Timmins on a native reserve and being tied outdoors, this gal made her way to us (along with 2 of her pups) She's an excitable gal that will need training but is now doing very well on our leash walks and loves meeting new people, small children are not ideal with her energy level at this time. She sleep though the night, is going to the door to be let out to relieve herself and is currently in our care in Colborne at our rescue retreat. She's a gal NOW full of joy and love to give. If you'd like to meet this comeback gal, pls find our short app at www.ruffstartnewbeginnings.ca and we'll give a call to discuss her needs moving forward and invite you to visit by appt. Thank you for considering a rescue dog like Sadie waiting to meet YOU!

Story
Tito is a sweet, soulful 10-year-old gentleman who is happiest when he’s close to his person. Cuddly, affectionate, and people-oriented, Tito forms strong bonds and truly thrives in a calm, quiet home where companionship is the norm, not the exception.This charming senior loves his daily walks and gets genuinely excited when it’s time to head out. While he may pull a little if something smells especially interesting, walking is one of his favourite parts of the day. He also enjoys car rides, relaxing on the couch, playing gently with his small toys, and settling into his bed right beside his human, whether that’s while working at a desk or winding down for the night. Tito sleeps through the night, is perfectly house trained, and has excellent hearing and vision.Tito does best in a peaceful environment. Loud noises like big trucks or the vacuum can be scary for him, and he prefers predictability and quiet. Because of this, a home without children is a must. While Tito has been friendly and happy meeting adults, he is not comfortable around kids and may bark or charge if approached. Tito has lived comfortably with a calm, older cat and may be open to the right canine companion, though his dog-to-dog preferences can vary. That said, another dog is not necessary for his happiness as long as his person is home most of the time.One important thing to know about Tito is that he struggles with separation anxiety. When left alone, he may bark continuously, often waiting by the door. For this reason, Tito needs a home with a person or couple who is home most of the time and understands that companionship is his greatest need.Tito is currently on a prescription urinary care diet and has a few endearing quirks, like needing his collar removed during meals so the tags don’t touch his bowl. He adores liver treats and responds beautifully to gentle routines.If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than to share his days by your side, Tito may just be your perfect match.

Story
Amarok is a gentle northern girl with a calm, loving spirit who is ready to find her forever family. Though she’s about eight years old, she still has a youthful energy for long walks and outdoor adventures - but when she’s inside, she’s the picture of relaxation and contentment.Amarok adores being with her people and would be happiest in a home where she isn’t left alone for long stretches. She coexists peacefully with other dogs in her foster home, though she doesn’t interact much with them, and would do equally well as an only dog if she had plenty of human companionship.She has a prey drive and will happily chase after squirrels, rabbits, or cats, so a cat-free home is best. On walks, she does best in a harness, though her foster sometimes uses a slip lead for extra control when wildlife appears.Amarok is perfectly house-trained, shows no destructive habits, and has no signs of separation anxiety. She isn’t interested in toys, but she absolutely loves her walks and the chance to explore. Liver treats are her favorite reward, though she’s happy to snack on carrots, blueberries, or watermelon too.She has met children and was calm and friendly, so we believe she would do well in a home with respectful kids. Visitors are always welcomed warmly - no jumping, just gentle greetings.Her ideal forever home could be with a single person, couple, or family, as long as she has time with her humans and daily exercise. A fenced yard would be wonderful, but she would also be perfectly happy with regular walks and hikes. Amarok is not high-energy but is far from a couch potato - she strikes the perfect balance.Despite her age, Amarok still has a youthful spark and so much love to give. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will enjoy life’s adventures as much as life’s quiet moments, Amarok may just be the perfect match!Please note that due to the high volume of applications our volunteers process, we will only contact those with a strong potential for a successful match. To be considered, please visit www.K9C.ca to complete our online application.

Meet Dreamwalker Bradley! Are you searching for a dog who walks dreamily on leash? If so, then Bradley is your boy! Bradley likes people very much, and makes friends with other dogs fairly easily. This boy is fully house trained and crate trained with excellent recall. Bradley is neutered, vaccinated and very healthy. He loves, loves, loves his walks! And delights in receiving praise and rewards for all the wonderful things he does with gusto! Bradley's Wishlist: Bradley is looking for a home in either a suburban setting or somewhere in the country. A home without young children (12 and up is fine). Someone who either works from home, is retired or work alternate schedules to ensure that Bradley isn't left alone for hours at a time. (A reputable dog walker would be an alternative). A home with or without another balanced dog. A family who will give Bradley plenty of walks, mental and physical activity, and positive stimulation. Someone dedicated to continuing Bradley's education using force-free methods. *We offer training and counselling support through our Doggytime Canine Education Course ~ Pup Parent System with all adoptions.

Story
Meet Quiet Violet! This girl doesn't bark, so if you need a loud guard dog, you'll have to look elsewhere. Violet actually "speaks" rather than barks, and only for mealtime. Violet is searching for her retirement home as she's around 9 years young now. She does well with short walks as she's had two TPLO surgeries, but it doesn't stop her from playing with squeaky balls in the yard! Off leash, she is Miss Congeniality with other dogs and people alike. Treats, food and squeaky toys are all Violet's favourite things! She's also very clean and house trained. Violet's dreamhome wishlist: > A rural or suburban home. Violet is good with cows and horses, but not a fan of big city life. > A home with a fully fenced yard as Violet is accustomed to having her own secure outdoor space. > Preferably a home with another balanced dog. > A mature home without young children (older teens okay). > Someone who works from home or is retired to ensure Violet gets enough "me" time. > Someone who wants a lifelong companion that will cherish Violet the way she'll cherish them!
