Story
Meet Pablo! I’m a sweet, affectionate guy who loves attention, walks, chasing a ball, and being your very best friend. I can be a little reserved when we first meet, but I warm up quickly and then I’m all about the love. I’m a pretty well-behaved guy who is working on basic cues, rides calmly in the car, and settles nicely when left alone.I’m still working on my house-training and my enthusiasm for mouthing, so I’ll need a family willing to help me learn that toys are for chewing. I’m cautious around unfamiliar people and other dogs, and we haven’t yet learned how I’d do living with other pets or small children. With a little patience, guidance, and lots of affection, I’m sure I’ll make someone a wonderful companion. My foster says they’d keep me if they could—and I think that says it all!

Story
Cookie is a sweet, energetic pup with a whole lot of personality packed into one adorable package! She is incredibly affectionate with her people and is always thrilled to see them, whether they’ve been gone for five minutes or simply stepped into another room. When she’s calm, Cookie is a loving cuddle bug, but she can also get very excited very quickly and needs help learning that sometimes we can use our inside voice and our inside body.Cookie is playful, food-motivated, and loves to chew, making puzzle feeders and appropriate chew toys some of her favourite things. She is still working on keeping all four paws on the floor and using her mouth appropriately when excited, as she may jump up and nip during play. Her foster has already seen improvement with this, and she does best when people keep movements slow and voices calm. She is also comfortable and quiet in her crate, sleeps happily in it overnight, and has had no issues with resource guarding.Cookie is still learning about the world and can be nervous and easily overstimulated outside. She currently finds walks challenging, is very distracted by her surroundings, and may bark or lunge at passing cars, bikes, people, and other sights or noises. She will need an adopter committed to helping her build confidence, learn leash skills, and work on her impulse control. She is also still working on housetraining and does not reliably let you know when she needs to go outside.If you’re looking for a fun, affectionate pup who will keep you entertained and give you plenty to work on together, Cookie may be your girl! She has a wonderful sweet side underneath all that excitement and will thrive with someone patient, consistent, and ready to help her learn how to be the very best Cookie she can be.

Story
Meet Lucy! Lucy is a beautiful 7-year-old Husky with the perfect blend of sweetness, confidence, and charm. Friendly and easygoing, she loves meeting new people and greets everyone with a relaxed, happy attitude. Whether she`s joining in on the fun or simply hanging out by your side, Lucy is happiest when she`s spending time with her people. She is currently in a foster home with children and adores them. Lucy is currently thriving in a foster home with children and has proven to be a wonderful family companion. She can also do well with other dogs who appreciate her playful Husky personality. When she`s excited, Lucy can be a little mouthy and very vocal - true to her breed, she loves to `talk` and express herself! She`ll do best with confident, tolerant canine friends who understand her enthusiastic communication style. Lucy is not a good match for a home with cats, as her instinct to chase is simply too strong. Like many Huskies, Lucy needs regular exercise and mental enrichment to stay happy. She appears to experience some mild separation anxiety but this can be managed with some consistency and crating. Fortunately, she`s wonderful on leash, settles nicely after getting her energy out, and is fully house trained. Lucy is a loving, mature girl who will truly shine in a home that understands and embraces classic Husky traits. If you`re looking for a gorgeous, affectionate companion with plenty of personality - and don`t mind a few conversations along the way - Lucy could be the perfect addition to your family. Lucy is an Overlooked pet, which means she has been here for an extended period of time (longer than most of her friends) waiting for her forever home. For this reason, her adoption fee is up to you ($30 admin fee still applies)!

Story
Hi, I’m Onix, and let’s just say I’m not exactly a subtle guy! I’m a big, powerful dog with a whole lot of enthusiasm packed into one very large body. I’m incredibly friendly and seem to be eager to make friends with everyone I meet. I’m also quite the freight train on leash. I’m strong, energetic, and can pull with some serious determination, so my future person will need to be physically capable of handling me and ready to help me learn some better leash manners. Although I am a lot of dog, I am food motivated and very much ready to learn and listen!We don’t know much about my past, so there’s still plenty to discover about who I am. I do seem very interested in other dogs and appear to want to play, although I’ll need proper introductions to find the right canine friends. My history with cats and children is unknown, but I would likely do best with older, sturdier children due to my large size. If you’re looking for a big, enthusiastic dog with a friendly heart and plenty of personality, I might just be your guy!

Story
Meet Sumo!If you`re looking for a big, fluffy companion who enjoys the great outdoors, Sumo might be your perfect match. This handsome boy has spent most of his life living outside and is happiest when he has plenty of space to explore, patrol, and relax in the fresh air. Sumo has spent some time inside, so he is not a stranger to it, but does show a preference to enjoy the fresh air.I am an Overlooked pet, which means I have been here for an extended period of time (longer than most of my friends) waiting for my forever home. For this reason, my adoption fee is up to you ($30 admin fee still applies)!Sumo has been very friendly with staff and volunteers at the shelter and really seems to enjoy getting affection from humans. Recently, he has spent some time with our youth volunteers and was very gentle, eager to learn new things and has a very soft mouth when taking treats. Luckily he also enjoys being brushed, which will help maintain his long fluffy coat. He also has a playful, goofy side and is sure to make you laugh! Sumo has participated in play groups at the shelter and appears to enjoy the company of other dogs, especially the ladies! He does have some resource-guarding tendencies that would need to be managed if living with another dog. But don`t worry, our behaviour staff would be happy to discuss what this would look like. Sumo is searching for a home that understands and appreciates him for who he is—a loyal, independent dog who enjoys his space, loves being outdoors, and will make a wonderful companion for the right family. If you have room in your heart and your yard for a big fluffy friend, Sumo may be waiting for you.

Story
Hi, I’m Olipop!I’m a sweet, gentle guy who is still figuring out that the world isn’t quite as scary as I sometimes think it is. I can be nervous around new people, especially when they first come into my home, so I do best when people give me space and let me warm up at my own pace. Once I decide you’re safe, though, you’ll discover that I’m an incredibly affectionate cuddlebug who would happily spend my day curled up beside my favourite person. Basically, once you’re my person, you get a shadow. Congratulations!I’m a pretty easygoing walking buddy and don’t pull much, although busy environments and unfamiliar people can make me nervous. I’ve even encountered some very enthusiastic barking dogs behind fences and calmly carried on with my day. I’m still working on my confidence, basic manners, and housetraining, and I’ll need a patient person who can help me learn without rushing me. I’m also not particularly interested in treats, so apparently affection is the currency I prefer!I’m comfortable in my crate and settle down nicely after a few minutes when left alone. I’m still learning that when my humans leave, I don’t need to find something interesting to chew, so I’ll need supervision and some puppy-proofing while I learn those house manners. I also love car rides once I’ve been convinced to hop in.I’ve made so much progress in foster and am excited to keep discovering my personality. If you’re looking for a gentle, cuddly companion and have the patience to let a nervous boy blossom in his own time, I’d love to meet you. I promise there are plenty of cuddles, goofy moments, and Olipop waiting underneath this initially shy exterior!
