Story

Jenni Fostered in North Bay Adoption fee: $700 Vaccinated & Spayed Microchipped 2 Years old Hi everyone! My name is Jenni and I’m a beautiful Baladi girl full of spunk and energy. My favorite things to do are play with my foster sister, chew on bones and toys, and spending as much time as possible outside. I love having a large yard as my zoomies are epic! I am working very hard on my recall and some basic commands. I am also working on my leash manners because I just want to go everywhere and smell everything but I promise I am getting better with all these new things my foster parents are doing with me. I am very food motivated and I love food puzzles. I am really good at solving them too! I do love rope toys to tug with and I may start tugging on your clothes to get you to play with me. Grab a rope and I’ll tug you off your chair. I am fully housetrained and crate trained. I also am really good at not fighting over my kibble; my doggy sister and I eat side by side and switch bowls all the time with no issues. My foster parents have always made sure to play with me while I am eating to make sure I don’t have any agression that way; however, human food is my weakness and I like to counter surf and try to steal food off the plates! I am working on that and doing really well but I still need to be watched or your food will be mine. I am a typical Baladi dog and I love to bark at the world! If you don’t know a lot about us Baladis, please read up about the breed. I am intelligent, athletic, loyal and protective. I absolutely love my humans. Like most Baladi dogs, I need a dog friend and a big yard to run and play. I think I’d prefer a boy that’s around my size (or bigger) so my rough play style doesn’t scare or hurt them. I am okay with new people coming into the house as long they are calm and allow me time to settle down. I will bark but give me a few minutes and maybe some of my favorite treats and I will be friends with you. I love car rides when I’m free but don’t like to be locked in a crate. My foster parents love taking me for walks through the doggy stores and I behave well in them. I will even going up and sniff new people with little hesitation. I haven’t spent much time around kids lately, but am no stranger with them.

Scooby💙 Fostered in London, ON 1 year old UTD on vaccines, neutered & microchipped Adoption fee $500 Lab mix Hi friends! My name is Scooby 💙 I’m a 1-year-old Lab mix, fostered in Delaware, ON, and I’m still waiting for my very own happy ending… I’ve grown up in foster care, and while my foster family is amazing, I’m really hoping my forever people are out there looking for me. I’m neutered, microchipped, housetrained, crate trained, and fully up to date on all my vaccines — basically, I’m the total package. I’m a sweet, goofy, eager-to-please guy who LOVES learning new things (especially when treats are involved). I already know sit, shake paw, and lay down, and I’m always excited to show off how smart I am. I’ll be honest — I’m a strong boy, and leash training is something I’m still working on. I’ve made great progress and keep improving every day, but I’ll need my forever family to keep practicing with me. When I’m home alone, I can get a little bored, so I’d love lots of enrichment like Kong toys stuffed with peanut butter or lick mats to keep my brain busy. I adore people of all ages, and I get along great with dogs and cats too! After a fun day of playing, my favorite place to be is right beside you, soaking up all the love and cuddles. Everyone here is mind blown that I’m still waiting for my forever home — and honestly, so am I! If you’re looking for a clever, affectionate best friend who’s ready to give you his whole heart… I’m your boy. Love, Scooby

Story

Gus Born: August 15, 2025 Fostered in North Bay, ON Adoption Fee: $700 UTD on vaccines, neutered & microchipped Beagle/Lab/Shep mix (our best guess) Gus is a sweet, silly, and fun-loving pup with a heart of gold and a playful spirit to match! He loves games like keep-away, tug, and full-on puppy horsing around with his foster sister. He’s happiest when he’s playing, learning, or soaking up time with his people. At Home: Gus is doing really well with his house training and has very minimal accidents. He’s learning his boundaries beautifully with the resident cats and continues to improve every day. He is respectful of the young children. He would thrive in a home with a younger, active dog to match his energy and play style. Mealtime Manners: Gus is very food motivated and uses a slow feeder so he doesn’t inhale his meals. He prefers to eat in his own space without other animals around. He’s respectful of his foster sister’s food and won’t steal — he patiently waits until she walks away! Training & Crate Life: Gus is still learning leash skills and does pull while walking, so continued training will help him shine. He does best in his crate with minimal items, as he tends to destroy puppy pads or towels if they’re present. Since removing them, he’s had no accidents in his crate. He may whine initially, but a food-dispensing toy with small treats has helped make crate time a positive experience. Personality: Gus has an absolutely wonderful personality — affectionate, goofy, and eager to learn. With continued structure, training, and an active companion, he will make an amazing addition to the right home. If you’re looking for a playful, loving pup who’s ready to grow alongside you, Gus might just be your perfect match

Story

Tundra is a 5-year-old Husky currently located in Cambridge, he comes with a clean bill of health. He is neutered, house trained, and leash trained. He is a bigger boy- 90 ish pounds of a whole lotta love! — ready for his forever home! Adoption Fee: $700 A bit about Tundra: He is extremely affectionate — He greets everyone with kisses and cuddles. Chill and gentle — Remarkably calm for a Husky, especially considering his past. Dog-friendly — He enjoys other dogs but can be selective, so a meet-and-greet is recommended if you already have one. Food-motivated — Great for training, but snacks should be kept out of reach. Classic Husky charm — Expect lots of fur, a bit of stubbornness, and plenty of “talking.” What He Needs A home where he can bond closely with his person or family A quieter environment — older kids are better or no kids preferred to help him thrive Tundra is looking for a loving companion or family who understands Husky quirks and can offer patience, stability, and all the affection this sweet boy deserves.

Story

Lyra 1.5 years old, Golden/Husky mix Fostered in Strathroy, On Adoption Fee: $700 Microchipped Vaccinated & Spayed Good with older kids, other dogs, and cats Lyra is a top notch snuggler. She loves to cuddle and wants to be near her human all the time. Definitely a velcro dog. She does show some jealousy when the other dog is getting attention. However, she likes the company when left alone as she is not a fan of being left alone for too long! Crate training has been a work in progress. She's slowly grasping the concept but will need continued training on this to be a complete doggy package! Her leash skills have improved dramatically. She does tend to pull a bit when she sees another person or dog as she is eager to say hi, but with a quick correction she stops. She is very treat motivated so further training should be easy. She knows sit, leave it, no, and come. Her recall is very good. She is working on lay down, crate and off in her foster home. She has a tendency to put one paw on you and then the other to come up if she thinks you didn't give her enough attention, that's where the off command is coming into play. She does not jump up at all. Although she would love to be the only dog, I think she would do well with a dog friend for when she's left alone. Either scenario would work for her. She is used to sleeping on the fosters bed or on dog bed beside. She has even decided to just stay curled up on the couch some nights. 💤 Loves to jump up for a morning snuggle as soon as you wake up. She is very good at setting boundaries when playing with her foster sister! She LOVES the backyard and can play all day with her foster sister so making sure she gets plenty of playtime and exercise is a must!
