Story

Hello! My name is London!I`m a fun and loving girl! I am snuggly and affectionate. I love treats and toys, which makes training a blast! I sometimes get excited and like to grab sleeves with my mouth. I thought that was fun but apparently humans don`t enjoy it as much as I do. No worries though, I`m super smart and doing well with training - I`m learning about other fun things to do instead. If you love cuddling, playing and snoring, I am definitely the girl for you!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers may be ok. No young kids given my mouthing can sometimes be hard.OTHER DOGS: I don`t seem to enjoy the company of other dogs and I`m looking to be the only dog.CATS: Potentially, with cat experienced and confident around dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Required.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with yard.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!FOSTER ME! I’m excited to be selected as part of the Paisley Project and I’m looking for a foster home!

Hello! My name is Scooby!I`m a charming love muffin who enjoys meeting new people. I may get excited and be a bit jumpy but I`m super smart and am learning about lots of cool manners.

Story

Hello! My name is Pippin!I`m a sensitive guy who can get stressed when things change. I love stability and routine, but who doesn`t, right!? I have been spending my time in a wonderful foster home where I`m learning to feel safe and I`m coming out of my shell. I love to snuggle in bed with my humans and I do ok with strangers as long as they give me space and let me be. While I do fine living with dogs and even meeting dogs, I do sometimes bark and pull when seeing them on leash.

I promise to pay with snuggles and being a fantastic dog companion!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: I`m looking for an adult-only home.OTHER DOGS: Yes, with a respectful, calm dog.CATS: Potentially, with a cat experienced living with dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I`m looking for someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Required unless rural.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with yard.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: No, I do well left alone.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I would make a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Mikka

Labrador Retriever

Female, 2 yrs 4 mos

Guelph, ON

Size

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

Details

Story

Hello! My name is Mikka!I`m a sweet and gentle girl looking for a loving home! I enjoy playing with toys and would love a home where I will get lots play time and outdoor adventures! I do enjoy chew toys, so hopefully my new family is happy to provide me with lots of fun things to chew. I have been in a wonderful foster home for a while now and we`ve learned that I love car rides and I might be a water dog - rain doesn`t scare me and I`m very interested in the bathtub when water starts flowing into it! I am scared of getting into trouble. My foster humans are doing a good job of showing me that I`m a good girl and nothing bad is going to happen, but sadly, likely due to my past, my first reaction is still to cower when I think someone is going to do something scary. I would really benefit from a gentle, kind home where the humans will continue to help me feel safe and build my confidence. I am a snuggly girl who would appreciate humans who enjoy dog cuddles!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers should be fine. No young children given I can be timid.OTHER DOGS: Yes, with a well-matched dog of similar or larger size. I enjoy chasing and running but don`t like rough and tumble puppy energy.CATS: No, given my prey drive.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Yes, if you have some experience with dogs and recognizing nervous body language.FENCED-IN YARD: Applicants with a fully-fenced yard would be preferred given I can be reactive to dogs & wildlife on leash, so a yard gives us a nice break from walks.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings given I can be skittish and don`t love other dogs in my personal bubble.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!
