Story

ADOPT LUCIANO M | 2Y | 34 KG | Mixed Breed | Neutered | UTD on shots | Dog friendly | No cats | Not kid tested | Housebroken | Crate trained | Low energy | Basic Obedience Trained | Takes daily glucosamine This sweet boy is looking for his furever family! Luciano takes a little bit to warm up to new people, but once he knows you, he loves you hard! He keeps a close knit family and needs slow introductions to any new people. He's not a fan of strangers who excitedly approach him - so he needs a family who will advocate for him to make sure any new friends are prepared with calmness and liver treats! When Luciano came to Canada, he wasn't a fan of the crate and quickly developped separation anxiety. But thanks to his foster mama, he's fully crate trained and settles after some mental stimulation like working for his food in puzzles or snufflemats. His future family should continue with crate training so he doesn't regress and become anxious. This handsome man is currently living with 2 foster siblings and can co-exist with other dogs, however cats are off-the-table as his prey drive is quite high. He walks like a DREAM for such a young dog, happily trotting by your side! He's currently walking on a prong collar to help when he see critters and it's working very well for him. Luciano has one back leg that is slightly longer than the other that he takes daily glucosamine for. It doesn't seem to bother him on the day to day - he's quite happy lounging around, taking shorter walks, napping, and working for his food. He may take time to adjust in a new home, but with ongoing structure and routine, proper introductions, and lots of treats, Luciano will be the bestest boy! If you're looking for a smart, loving, low energy pup to add to your family - apply to adopt Luciano today at https://www.barkatthemoonrescue.ca/dog-adoption-application

Hamilton, ON

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

ADOPT MARELLA F | 3Y | 21.15 KG | German Shepherd Mix | Spayed | UTD on shots | Dog and cat tested | Likely good with kids | House Trained | Crate Trained | Medium energy | Loves her ball Marella is generally very gentle and loves to play. We joke that Marella's personality is 'ball'. She would happily carry her ball all day or play fetch/soccer for hours. She loves to find a spot on the cool hardwood or near her foster sister to relax. She loves her people and will follow them around the house or like to have them nearby when she relaxes. Marella checks in with her humans for affection and is a huge snuggle bug. She's learning new commands everyday and she is eager to please. This will make training incredibly fun with her. Marella is living with another dog, and they've become great pals! They love to play together and wrestle. She would do well in a home with another dog. She has also tested well with cats but she does like to play, so a dog-savvy cat would be ideal. Although she has not met kids, we believe she'd do well in a family with kids as she is very gentle. If you feel Marella is the perfect addition to your home, fill out the adoption application at https://www.barkatthemoonrescue.ca/dog-adoption-application

She is would be extremely content to sit down next to you and receive a good petting session. She doesn't need to burn much energy and would do well in a home that is more quiet. She is an independent girl who will easily do her own thing when left alone. She gets along great with human and other dogs. She is very smart and obedient, so she should learn new commands quickly. Arleth is a noble and loving girl who should be able to adapt to any living situation. This girl deserves a second chance at life and is ready for her new Canadian adventure.

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

FOSTER-TO-ADOPT AMARILLO M | 4Y | 36.4 KG | Mixed Breed | Neutered | UTD on shots | Housebroken | Good with dogs - prefers males | No cats | Not kid tested | Low energy | Needs a family who gives him structure and boundaries Amarillo’s previous owners took him in because they thought he would be a small sized dog. When Amarillo started to grow, they kicked him out to the rooftop where he spent his days tied up on a rope, he was then. After that, he was abandoned on the streets of Mexico to fend for himself. Amarillo has learned how to sit and wait for his food. Once the food is placed on the floor, it’s good to give Amarillo some space so he can eat. In order to get a treat, he has to be sitting or waiting in a calm manner. Amarillo is able to coexist with other dogs and eat with other dogs who are two or three meters away. It is good to continue these exercises so Amarillo can continue his progress. Amarillo has been through a lot and has slowly gained back his trust for humans and other dogs. He has become an incredibly loving, playful and caring dog who allows people to pet him, bathe him and interact playfully with him. He prefers male dogs to female ones. He is still highly aware of food and will follow you around when he sees you carrying some, but nowadays, Amarillo reacts calmly and knows he has to sit and wait. He respects other dogs when eating and will not react when he sees others being fed. He is an obedient and smart dog who understands commands and lives for human attention. This boy loves toys and will love to be spoiled by a warm family who is patient and caring. Please take a chance on this loving boy! He has been through so much, and he just deserves a chance at happiness. Amarillo is currently in Mexico waiting for his forever Canadian family to scoop him up! Apply below - upon approval - we'll fly him in to you! https://www.barkatthemoonrescue.ca/post/amarillo-foster-to-adopt
