Story

Hello! My name is Taylor!I`m a loving girl who can be timid meeting new people but since being at GHS I`ve come out of my shell beautifully and seem to be less timid with strangers. I am a petite little thing, not even 60 pounds! My new family should know that I work as a part-time digger and will help with any gardening needs you have or even snow removal when the time comes. I like to dig holes for my toys and then cover them up by shoveling dirt over it with my nose. I may sometimes bark at dogs on leash if they are too close. But with a bit of space and some positive reinforcement with treats, I have made really nice progress so far! I am a snuggly and affectionate girl and at the end of the day I`m just looking for a loving home that will show me what a good girl I am.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers may be ok but no young children given my timid nature.OTHER DOGS: Yes, with a friendly, playful dog who won`t be off-put by my initial barking.CATS: Potentially, with a cat experienced with and comfortable living with dogs. FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with yard preferred. Rural would also be great!SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium. HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

German Shorthaired Pointer

Male, 1 yr 6 mos

Guelph, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Hello! My name is Fig!I’m a fun, lively boy with a big heart! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, so I’ll need my humans to help me feel safe and make sure strangers give me a little space. Once I’m comfortable, I shine—especially when there’s a ball involved. I’m a champion fetch player, and my joyful, springy leaps will absolutely make you smile. (I swear I might be part bunny!)A securely fenced yard—5 feet or taller—is perfect for me so I can bounce and play to my heart’s content. I’m affectionate, eager to learn, and super motivated by tasty treats, so training with me is both fun and rewarding.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers may be ok but no young children given my sensitive nature.OTHER DOGS: I may do best as the only dog but might be able to have dog friends with slow introductions and calm dogs.CATS: No, I like to chase small things.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Recommended.HOUSING: A quieter home environment suits me best—apartments aren’t ideal since close encounters with strangers make me nervous.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily, though right now I may not be an ideal match for a family that is gone for a full work day.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: I seem to be on the right track, but expect some accidents as I adjust to a new routine.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Hello! My name is Essen!I`ve been waiting for my family to come along since February.

Story

Hello! My name is Kelsey!I`m a kind girl who can be anxious in unfamiliar situations. I can be a bit timid of new people but warm up with time if they have some yummy treats and let me give them a few sniff-overs. Once I warm up, I am affectionate.

Gotta make sure you see them too, ya know? I am a smart girl, I respond well to positive training methods and I would love to join a home that will help me feel safe and secure.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: I would do best in an adult-only home given my sensitive nature.OTHER DOGS: I would be most comfy as the only dog in the home.CATS: Potentially, with a cat who has lived with and is confident around dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with yard preferred.
