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

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.

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

Hey everyone, my name is Rogue. (100 lbs)When I first came in I was very scared of everything and would not leave my kennel. The staff worked hard with me to gain my trust and I realized they are not so scary after all. I am unsure of new people and may take a bit to warm up to you, but once I do we can be best friends!! I love treats, walks and to have zoomies in the yard. My new owners need to have experience working with a reactive dog so they can help teach me how to be polite when meeting new people. At this time I should be the only animal in the home while I work on my training/behaviour. I am a good dog, I really am, I just need someone to give me a second chance. If you`d like to meet me please call the shelter and book an appointment with them, then come on in and meet me!! I`ll be waiting :)
