Story
Frodo is a 7-year-old Siberian Husky with the soul of a wise king. Unlike your typical husky, this distinguished gentleman prefers quiet strolls through nature, long naps, and calmly observing the world around him like the noble ruler he is. Very little ruffles his feathers, and his wonderfully expressive face always lets you know exactly what he's thinking (usually something dignified and mildly judgmental).If you're looking for a calm, handsome companion with majestic energy and impeccable manners, Frodo may just be your perfect match.Interested in meeting this dapper boy for yourself? Visit the Midland and District Animal Centre between 11-5! Have another dog at home? Bring them along for a meet-and-greet to see if they become loyal companions on Frodo's noble journey.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Let us reintroduce Laz (Adoption Fee WAIVED ) Lazarus joined us in February 2025 alongside his littermate, Otis, after being rescued from a neglectful home. Some of their siblings went to Mattie’s Place  —and every one of them has found a home… except for Laz Laz is truly a great dog. Like many dogs who didn’t get the structure and socialization they needed early on, he can be fearful and a bit unsure of new people. He does have some “stranger danger,” but with proper introductions (and a few treats!), he warms up every single time Since being in foster, Laz has been putting in the work! He completed a tricks class at Nordik K9 and attends daycare at KNine Care weekly to continue building his confidence and social skills—and he’s been doing amazing. Laz is looking for a dog-savvy adopter who understands that building trust takes time. In return, you’ll get an incredibly smart, deeply loyal companion. A quieter home would suit him best—something low traffic without lots of people coming and going. He could do well with a calm, neutral dog of similar or larger size, or as your one-and-only. No cats for Laz—he will chase. ✨ His adoption fee has been waived ✨ We know Laz will need a committed adopter willing to continue his training and help him keep growing into the dog we know he can be.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Fancy — the Spicy, Smart, Sporty Girl Who’s Ready to Impress  Fancy is a 3-year-old, 55-lb cattle dog mix who has completely blossomed in foster care. After raising her seven puppies like an absolute champ, she’s now stepping into her own — and wow, is she ever shining. This girl is brilliant, energetic, and ridiculously fun. She loves to work, loves to learn, and loves to show off just how clever she is. Fancy has just started bite club and is loving it… future IGP candidate??   She’s the kind of dog who’s always ready for the next adventure and would be up for trying anything you throw her way. Her personality is pure joy: she “talks” to share her feelings, proudly brings you toys (or the occasional rock) as gifts, and absolutely adores other dogs. She’s great with dog friends, good with cats, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, and has the perfect spicy-sweet balance that makes heelers so special. Fancy is still gaining confidence with people. She warms up to women faster, but with a confident, experienced handler, she thrives with anyone. Because she can be unsure around unpredictable little humans, she’s looking for a home with no small kids, and preferably with another dog to help show her the ropes. Fancy has exceeded every expectation. She’s smart, loyal, goofy, athletic, and incredibly rewarding. If you’re looking for a sport prospect, training partner, or all-around amazing companion… Fancy might just be the one. Fancy is being fostered in Bracebridge, ONVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 9:04 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet River  River is a young Georgia Peach.  She came to us after being rescued from a ditch, where people fed her for 3 weeks to gain her trust to be able to secure her.  She is a timid but very loving girl, and has blossomed in the time she has been in care. It turns out River has a malformed leg, and hip dysplasia (in both hips), which may lead to her being in a wheelchair at some point in her life but for now she is happy and mobile. River's perfect home would have at least one other dog and to have humans with a lot of patience, time, love and affection for her as she takes her time to open up to them. Once she does, she is a stage 5 clinger so ideally someone who is home often would be great. Her favorite toy is a snuffle ball and favorite activity is cuddling and sleeping near her humans.  River’s foster mom had this to say about her: “She is the sweetest snuggliest girl.  Very silly and gets quite excited. Great unique little personality when jealous.  She loves her k9 companions and is very caring.  No accidents in the home nor destructive behaviours.  Just a sweet easy girl aside from her skittish behavior. She loves to take the clothes of her people and lay with them or on them“ River really needs another dog in her forever home as a companion and to help with her confidence. When meeting other dogs while loose and playing, she’s playful. On leash she can be more cautious River has been around young children She does not like their loud noises or fast movements. With some time and with considerate and dog savvy kids, she will eventually come around and will slowly allow pets and contact.  River is cautious when meeting new people and can particularly be weary of men. With exposure she can become more comfortable over time. She first likes to circle and observe. River is quite skiddish and does not like loud noises and needs time to warm up with slow introductions.  She is starting leash training with her foster mom. It took her quite some time to become comfortable walking on leash and enjoying it but she’s now starting to be more comfortable and will walk along side her foster fur sister.  Crate trained &#226&#156&#133 River is crate trained however she likes to sleep in bed with her foster mom and is not put in her crate when left alone as she is not destructive  River does okay in the car It’s not her favourite place and she can become anxious if in the car without her people or her foster fur sibling.  She has not shown any resource guarding of any kind including with toys, food, or treats.  River is a low-medium energy girlie. She currently does water therapy at Puddle Paws Hydrotherapy and on days she has no therapy, she has 2 short walks.  ADOPTION FEE: River’s adoption fee is fully sponsored  THERAPY FEE: River’s water therapy is fully sponsored. Her continuing sponsorship of water therapy will be discussed with approved applicants.  MEDICATION FEE: Her ongoing medication costs are: Metacam and Gabapentin, as needed  River is being fostered in Orillia, ON Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 9:04 am
