Story
TEDDY 🖤 This adorable guy is Teddy. Located in BRANTFORD, ON Weight: He is approximately 50 lbs. Good with dogs: Teddy ignores small dogs and likes to wrestle with bigger dogs. Teddy does best with submissive dogs or dogs that can recognize when he has had enough of playing. He would do best as an only pet. Good with cats: No Good with kids: Teddy would do best in a home without children. Housetrained: In progress. Crate Trained: Yes Leash Trained: Teddy is great on the leash. He requires the occasional reminder not to pull but responds very quickly to corrections. He knows basic commands like sit and down. He knows to stay until he is told “free”. As well he knows “place”. Energy level: High Health Concerns: None HW status: Negative Spay/neutered?: Yes Tell us about this dog: Teddy is a great dog but he is not for first time dog owners. He is extremely lovable and is always happy to see you. He has a few quirks worth noting. First off, he has springs as feet! This boy can jump. He would make an excellent agility or watersport competitor. Secondly, when he wags has tail his entire backend moves - he has a wiggly butt. It is absolutely adorable. Finally, Teddy has anxiety and reactivity. Teddy's foster parents have attended private training lessons and report that he is learning appropriate means of dealing with his anxiety and reactivity. He wants to please and is a quick learner. On going training would be extremely beneficial to both Teddy and his future adopters to help them both bond and understand each other's needs and expectations.

Story
Kody Breed: Pointer/ Cattle Dog mix Gender: Male Weights: 46 lbs Age: 2 yrs Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: yes Good with kids: Yes older kids Housetrained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Leash Trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Health Concerns: None HW status: Negative Spay/neutered?: Yes Tell us about this dog: Kody was saved from euthanization at a high kill shelter in San Antonio, Tx. It is believed that at some point Kody was physically abused and would get defensive when he felt threatened. Kody has come a long ways and his trust in people has grew more and more everyday. He is an active fun boy who loves kids, getting belly rubs, and playing with toys. Kody is very treat motivated and is eager to learn new things. He enjoys car rides. Kody loves going for walks, hiking, and/or jogging. Kody had been through behavioral training prior to coming into our rescue. These are notes from the trainer. Kody knows multiple commands. Below are the commands he knows and notes from his trainer: - look at me/pay attention Sit Come here- recall Touch- nose to hand target command Wait- pause in action- ESPECIALLY at doors!! Settle- relax Leave it- back away and leave that alone (barking/fixation/food/ leash excitement) Place- go to k-bed (point) Let’s go- change in direction/follow me Kennel- go into kennel or crate “Uh-uh”(buzzer type sound) or firm NO SIR for verbal correction. “Ok” for release WITH FOOD- - ANY resource guarding must be corrected verbally and redirected with obedience. As soon as he trusts you he is fine, but with new people He will test. ANY physical threat or punishment will overwhelm and escalate him- his behavior demonstrated that someone tried to punish the growling out of him and he gets defensive- you must redirect him into the bed and release him to eat when friendly and calm. He is calmer and eats better in a home environment- crate, hand feeding or bowl by your feet in a house he does well with. In a kennel he tends to be more defensive, so work outside the kennel barrier, then move inside and get him comfortable with you being in there with him while he eats before touching him while he eats.

GIO Age (approx) 1 Year, 2 Months Size Medium Sex Male Breed Mixed Good With Children Yes Good With Dogs Yes Good With Cats Yes Neutered Yes MORE ABOUT GIO Gio was found wandering with his brother Gucci as puppies, They have been fostered while waiting and hoping for a forever home for quite some time. They have grown into lovely dogs, friendly and happy boys. Both are familiar with being on leash and would be great partners on a nice walk. They have quite a bit of energy, they are youngsters afterall. They are very trainable and would quickly learn new commands. Both dogs would be fine in a home with children, normal rules withstanding for kids and dogs and supervision etc. They get along well with other dogs and are fine with cats. These two boys have a lot to give and are very straightforward; they would fit into most homes. They have grown up together but do not need to be adopted together. Gio is approximately 34lbs You can find my form " Rescue Dog Adoption Application" at: https://form.jotform.com/211694512438255 Adoption fee is $850

In progress but almost yes Health concerns? None Behavioural concerns? None Neutered? No Vaccinated? Yes Microchipped? Yes I love staying up past my bedtime when all is quiet and there are humans to love and cuddle with. I talk up a storm and always have so much to say. I like long car rides. I love exploring the outdoors and I am the last one to always come back inside. I sit on command, I am learning to be patient with my food and I am working on ‘stay’ and ‘off’ and ‘leave it’. My foster Mom thinks I am going to be super easy to train and I learn quickly. I sleep in my crate through the night with my brother but I am always the first one up in the morning ready to play. I am always looking for cuddles and love to be snuggled on the couch with my family members.

I may eat too many leaves but I am learning to ‘drop it’ when asked. I love squeaky toys and playing with slippers and socks. I am quick to run to any sound I think may be my dinner - I’m working hard on being patient and waiting until it’s my turn to eat. I spend most of my time at my brother’s side and we always snuggle during our quiet time.
