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 Hamilton 10 month old male/neutered Adoption fee $500 Lab mix Re-introducing Scooby! I’m a certified handsome Rez dog 😏 and I’m on the lookout for my forever home!🥰 I LOVE going on walks with my foster family (especially with the kiddos!), and I’m also a fan of hanging out with my doggie buddies. I don’t pull too much on walks, but I’m still perfecting my "calm and collected" walking style. Scooby is neutered, microchipped, housetrained, leash trained and up to date on his vaccines. Scooby is a sweet and eager-to-please rescue pup who’s made great strides in his journey and is still waiting his perfect forever home. This smart boy has learned to sit, shake paw, and even lay down when his hips are feeling up to it. He’s especially treat-motivated—just say “wanna treat?” and he’ll come running! 🏃🏼‍♀️ Scooby is still working on some puppy habits, like chewing, so his new family will need to keep things out of reach and continue with positive reinforcement. But he’s come a long way and shows so much potential with guidance and love 💕 If you're looking for a clever, affectionate companion who’s learning more every day, Scooby is 1000% your perfect match.

Story

Kurt Fostered in London, ON Approx 11 weeks old Vaccinated, dewormed & microchipped Adoption Fee: $700 (includes $200 reimbursed after neuter) Mixed Breed (maybe larger...our best guess) Kurt and his siblings are all from a local reservation and we are unknown of their true breed as it could be so many. Kurt is a sweet, smart, and affectionate pup who loves being close to his people. He’s happy to curl up beside you for cuddles after a bit of play and enjoys feeling included in everyday life. He’s already learning his basics like sit and no, is doing very well with crate training, and is making great progress with house training. Kurt is in his puppy chewing phase but redirects easily to toys and is eager to please. Kurt does wonderfully with other dogs and especially loves his larger foster brother, who helps boost his confidence. He is also cat-friendly and respectful around them. He may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he warms up, he becomes a loving, loyal little shadow who just wants to be near you. Kurt would thrive in a home that can offer patience, continued training, and lots of love — and he’d be happy with another dog or as a devoted solo companion. This smart, gentle boy is ready to find his forever family, could it be with you?

Story

Otis Fostered in London, ON Approx 11 weeks old Vaccinated, dewormed & microchipped Adoption Fee: $700 (includes $200 reimbursed after neuter) Mixed Breed (likely to be a larger boy — our best guess!) Otis and his siblings are all from a local reservation and we are unknown of their true breed as it could be so many. Meet Otis — aka “Junior”! Otis is the perfect mix of smart, snuggly, and hilariously confident. Even at his young age, he’s already convinced he’s the biggest dog in the room — and honestly, we love that energy. He’s growing fast (blink and he’s bigger!), but still makes plenty of time for cuddles, carrying his toys everywhere, and being right by your side. Otis loves his foster brother and is doing great with the resident cat in the house! He’s curious about everything and just wants to be part of the pack. He sleeps through the night like a champ, Takes his meals very seriously — food is life During the day, Otis is all about the zoomies…followed by equally serious nap sessions...Balance is important Otis is affectionate, eager to learn, and absolutely adores his people. He’d thrive in a home that enjoys playtime, can keep up with puppy energy, and also appreciates a really good couch cuddle He’d love a canine buddy to grow up with — but he’d also be perfectly happy being your one-and-only center of the universe. If you’re looking for a best friend who will make you laugh, steal your heart, and grow into the dog he already believes he is — Otis is your guy

Courtney Fostered in London, ON Approx 11 weeks old Vaccinated, dewormed & microchipped Adoption Fee: $700 (includes $200 reimbursed after spay) Mixed Breed (maybe larger...our best guess) Courtney and her siblings are all from a local reservation and we are unknown of their true breed as it could be so many. Courtney is a sweet, curious little girlie with a perfect balance of independence and affection. She loves exploring the yard on her own, then happily coming back for cuddles and love. She can be a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, her gentle, loving nature shines. She’s great with cats and absolutely adores her big foster brother, Randall — following him everywhere, playing politely, and snuggling whenever she can. Courtney is learning her puppy manners, she knows sit and no, and is improving with crate training (she may protest briefly but settles quickly). She’s vocal when she wants attention, redirects well from chewing, has mastered stairs, and loves playing in the snow. Courtney would thrive in a home with a confident dog to learn from or with a patient, loving human who enjoys training, adventure, and lots of snuggles! If you’re looking for a sweet explorer with a heart full of love, Courtney is ready to meet you.

Noelle💗 📣 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION or FOSTER-TO-ADOPT 📣 3 years old Fostered in London, Ontario Adoption fee: $500 I’m Noelle! 💖 I came from a local First Nations community, where I was living outside with my pups. But luckily, we were all brought into care on December 14, 2024, and now I’m enjoying the good life indoors, all cozy and comfy. My pups don’t need me anymore, and now it’s my turn for some extra love and attention! 🌟 Unfortunately, I tested positive for both heartworm and Lyme disease, so I am looking for a foster or adoptive home to let me relax while I go through treatment. My medical care is paid for by the rescue. I’m a total sweetheart: calm, loving, and always up for snuggling with my humans. I’m housebroken and great with kids. I’m eager to learn, and I’m pretty proud of my leash skills (they’re a work in progress, but I’m catching on!). I’ll always be near you, hoping for some pets—and maybe a snack or two (I’m very generous that way). 🍪💕 I have been with Black Hill Dog Company and I have excelled in both training and just being a dog! I’m making progress everyday and looking forward to continued improvement! I am working really hard on my social skills as well! I would love to be the only dog in the house if possible & I need a family who is willing to continue working with me and my continued training to be the best doggy ever and shine to my fullest ✨ A huge shoutout to Black Hill Dog Company for helping me transition into a lovable companion who's sure to steal your heart! 💗 I have been spayed, microchipped, am up to date on my vaccines.
