AGE: 4 monthsSEX: MaleBREED: Northern MixENERGY LEVEL: Medium/HighDOG FRIENDLY: Yep!CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!FOSTER IG: @paws.inprogressMeet Desi! Desi is a playful, affectionate, and very enthusiastic puppy who thinks everyone is his best friend. He is curious about absolutely everything and approaches life with the goofy, adventurous energy of Kevin from Up. Desi loves exploring, playing fetch with his tennis ball, tug-of-war, and getting into whatever fun thing he can find. He is also a big snuggler who loves curling up beside his people, giving kisses, or lying at their feet while they go about their day. He is very food motivated, smart, confident, and eager to learn, and already knows sit, down, paw, and stay.Desi is a very social puppy who loves meeting people and other dogs. He greets new people with lots of excitement and a constantly wagging tail, although he can become overstimulated and mouthy when he's especially excited. He is very playful with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion with a similarly playful energy and compatible play style. He has met a cat and was curious but calm and very gentle with them. Desi does have a strong interest in small animals and will chase them, although he is generally easy to redirect. He does well in a busy city environment and is confident out in the world, but can pull towards people, cyclists, or other things he finds interesting. Continued leash training will help him learn that he doesn't need to say hello to everyone he sees!Like any young puppy, Desi is still working on his manners and house training. He has lots of energy and needs plenty of mental and physical enrichment to keep his busy brain occupied, otherwise he can get into some puppy mischief, particularly chewing things he shouldn't. He is also learning impulse control and can be vocal when he doesn't get what he wants, but settles with patience and the right structure. He does well in the car and is making good progress with his crate training, especially when his needs have been met. Desi will need a patient family who is ready to continue guiding his enthusiastic puppy energy, but in return they'll get an incredibly loving, goofy, and fun little companion who is always ready for the next adventure.Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Desi?

AGE: 2 monthsSEX: MaleBREED: Northern MixENERGY LEVEL: MediumDOG FRIENDLY: Yep!CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!Meet Oro! Oro is a handsome boy with the biggest, kindest blue-green eyes and a little bit of everything in his personality. He can be shy when he first meets someone, but once he feels comfortable, his playful and adventurous side comes out. He loves chasing balls, tug-of-war with his rope toys, squeaky toys, and exploring the garden - especially when there are leaves to chase and sticks to chew. Once he's used up his puppy energy, Oro is all about cuddles and will happily curl up in your lap, snuggle beside you on the couch, or sleep with his favourite stuffed dog. He loves being close to his people, but is also becoming more confident about doing his own thing.Oro is a gentle, curious boy who is still learning that the world isn't quite as scary as it can sometimes seem. He is timid with unfamiliar people and may hide behind his trusted person when someone approaches or visits the home, so he'll need introductions to happen slowly and at his own pace. Liver treats are an excellent way to win him over! Loud or unexpected noises can also startle him, but rather than reacting, Oro tends to move closer to his person or stop to assess what's happening. He's been comfortable with cars, bikes, and scooters on walks and loves getting outside to sniff and explore. He currently walks closely beside his person with very little pulling and is getting braver with every outing. Oro has lived with cats briefly and was curious about small animals outdoors without chasing them. He has also previously lived with a 12-year-old child without any issues, and given his young age, he could likely adapt well to a home with cats, dogs, or children.Oro is working on his house training and already knows sit and paw, with down, place, and stay coming along as well. He's incredibly food motivated and eager to learn, so we expect training to be a fun activity for both him and his future family. He's also doing well with his crate, settling at night after his bedtime routine and generally making it through the night without accidents. While he likes to follow his people around, he can happily settle in another room when he's ready for some quiet time. Oro is still a baby who is learning to be brave, but his confidence is growing every day. Give him a little patience, some liver treats, and plenty of love, and you'll get to watch this sweet, playful boy blossom into an amazing companion.Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Oro?

AGE: 4 yearsSEX: FemaleBREED: Bully MixENERGY LEVEL: Medium-HighDOG FRIENDLY: Yep!CAT FRIENDLY?: UntestedKID FRIENDLY?: Untested - child free home preferredFOSTER IG: @chiweenie.eeveeMeet Mishka! Mishka is a sweet, intelligent, and incredibly lovable girl who has blossomed so much as she has settled into foster care. Once she feels safe with someone, she is a total love bug who loves cuddles, belly rubs, and being close to her people. She has a wonderfully goofy side, too, with backyard zoomies that involve running, hopping, and the occasional barrel roll. Mishka is medium-high energy and loves getting out for multiple walks, exploring the neighbourhood, and playing in the backyard. She can also be surprisingly chill and is happy to settle while her people work.Mishka is a smart girl who is eager to learn and has already made great progress with her training. She is house trained, loves her crate, and can comfortably be left home alone for a full workday. She knows sit and wait and is working on down and impulse control during play. She is doing especially well on leash and is a wonderful loose-leash walker in her neighbourhood, staying engaged with her person and enjoying plenty of time to sniff and explore. She is generally calm and neutral when passing other dogs and has shown very little interest in small animals. She may do well living with another dog around her size or larger, provided they have a compatible energy level and appropriate introductions.Mishka is still learning about the world and needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people and situations. She is particularly nervous around men and can be wary if someone approaches her directly or enters her space too quickly, but she has made huge progress with the men in her foster home and is increasingly choosing to interact with them on her own. She can also be cautious in unfamiliar environments or when she feels confined, so a patient adopter who allows her to explore at her own pace will be important. A quieter neighbourhood would be ideal, although she has spent time downtown and could potentially adapt to a busier environment with time. Mishka is such a special girl—loyal, affectionate, clever, and just the right amount of goofy—and watching her confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding. Once she knows you're one of her people, she has so much love to give.Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Mishka? Apply Now!https://newcollar.co/apply-to-adopt

AGE: 2 monthsSEX: MaleBREED: Northern MixENERGY LEVEL: Medium-HighDOG FRIENDLY: Yep!CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!Meet Alfredo! This adorable little guy is a playful, inquisitive puppy with a cheeky personality that is starting to shine through. He loves being close to his people and can usually be found lying at their feet, climbing into their laps for cuddles, or racing over to say hello when they walk into the room. He’s curious about everything and loves investigating anything he can get his paws on. He’s also a big fan of food and enrichment toys, especially his frozen crate treats, and his big dark, sparkling eyes make him pretty hard to resist!Alfredo is a friendly and outgoing puppy who loves meeting new people, especially kids. He’s been RVing and even attended a couple of car shows, happily soaking up all the attention. He currently lives with cats and has also met several dogs, getting along well with them despite being a little too excited during playtime. He’s an enthusiastic puppy who is still learning his manners, so continued guidance will help him learn how to channel all that excitement. He pulls a little on leash and is still working on his house training, but he already knows his name, “sit,” and “doodles,” and he’s proving to be a quick learner when there are treats involved. He’s also not particularly vocal indoors, although the mop has been deemed suspicious enough to earn a few barks!Alfredo can be startled by some loud or unfamiliar noises as he continues getting used to the world, but he’s becoming more comfortable with everyday sounds like the TV and blender. He sleeps well in his crate at night and is learning to settle during the day, currently doing best with short periods in a gated area while daytime crate training continues. Given his young age and friendly nature, Alfredo would likely adapt well to a home with cats, dogs, or children. His future family should be ready for all the fun, training, and puppy antics that come with raising a curious little guy like him. If you’re looking for a lovable, cuddly furball who will happily follow you around and keep you laughing, Alfredo may be your perfect match!Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Alfredo?
