Story
Meet Huxley – Your Next Adventure Buddy!If you’re looking for a fun-loving, high-energy companion who’s always up for action, Huxley might just be your perfect match! This handsome boy has a wiggly bum, a big smile, and a zest for life that’s absolutely contagious.Huxley loves to run, chase, and play—especially if toys are involved! Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long hike, or just zooming around the yard, he’s happiest when he’s moving. He’s strong and athletic, so he’ll do best with someone who enjoys being active and can match his enthusiasm.Huxley does have a bit of a prey drive, so he’d prefer a home without small animals, and he can be reactive around other male dogs—he’s still learning his manners there! But with structure, patience, and positive training, he’s eager to learn and please his people.After all the excitement, Huxley loves to relax with his humans, soaking up affection and giving plenty of tail wags in return.If you’re ready for a loyal, goofy, and spirited adventure partner, Huxley can’t wait to meet you!IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:68 lbs.HOME TYPE:House.

Story
Meet Ophelia — graceful, thoughtful, and quietly brave.Ophelia arrived at the shelter alongside her four siblings after a very rough beginning. All of them were emaciated, sick, and in urgent need of care. Despite her difficult start, Ophelia has shown incredible resilience and has grown into a gentle, observant, and affectionate young pup with a calm curiosity about the world around her.Now healthy and thriving, Ophelia is beginning to enjoy all the little joys of puppyhood. She loves exploring new spaces, watching everything with bright, thoughtful eyes, and warming up with soft affection once she feels safe. While she may be a bit more reserved at first, her sweetness shines through as she builds trust — and when she does, she forms deep, loving bonds.Ophelia is looking for a patient, nurturing home that will help her continue to grow in confidence and show her what it means to feel truly secure. She’ll do best with gentle guidance, routine, and plenty of positive reinforcement as she learns the ropes.If you’re searching for a tender-hearted, resilient, and deeply endearing companion, Ophelia is ready to find her forever family.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:31 lbs. and still growing!HOME TYPE:Any!CHILDREN:Yes – Potentially compatible with childrenCATS & SMALL ANIMALS:Yes – Cats potentially compatible with slow, proper introductionOTHER DOGS:Yes – Dogs potentially compatibleACTIVITY / ENERGY LEVEL:High; will need plenty of daily exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulationHUMAN COMPATIBILITY:First-time dog owner possibleTRAINING REQUIREMENTS / NEEDS:At least three in-person training sessions to work on socialization, basic training, and manners**Please remember that animals are coming back from foster care to the centres for their meet and greets.

Story
Brutus is a big-hearted, big-bodied boy looking for a family to call his own! This handsome large breed mix has a playful, active side — he loves to run, play, and get the zoomies — but what he really loves most is you. Once he feels safe, Brutus turns into a total cuddle bug who melts right into your arms.Having come from the streets, Brutus can be a little nervous in new environments, but with patience and gentle encouragement, his affectionate personality quickly shines through. Because he’s still learning what it means to live in a home, Brutus can be a bit of a shoe thief or get into mischief if left unsupervised — a crate or puppy-proofed space will help set him up for success. He’s looking for an adopter who understands or is willing to learn about working shepherd breeds and their need for exercise, structure, and mental stimulation.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:77 lbs.HOME TYPE:House or Townhouse with no shared entrances (Private exit homes)CHILDREN:Yes- Older dog savvy children.CATS & SMALL ANIMALS:No - has shown some prey drive behaviours.OTHER DOGS:Yes - Potentially compatible with other dogs.

TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS:At least 2 in-person training sessions to work on socialization, basic training, and desensitizing to new sounds/environments.

Story
Meet Parker — a big-hearted goofball ready for a fresh start!Parker is a 2-year-old large mixed-breed boy who came to the shelter in rough shape — very underweight and unsure of the world. With time, good meals, and patient handling, he’s revealed his true personality: a happy, silly, affectionate dog who wants nothing more than to be someone’s loyal companion.Parker is full of youthful energy and goofiness. He loves toys, playtime, and showing off his bouncy, joyful side. He’s still working on his basic manners and would benefit from continued training to help him channel that enthusiasm in the right direction. He’s smart, eager, and food-motivated, which makes learning fun for him.Because of his tough start, Parker can still feel a little worried about high-value things and may resource guard. He’s already making progress with structure and clear guidance, and he’ll do best with an adopter who’s experienced or willing to work with positive reinforcement to help him feel secure and understood.What Parker wants most is a patient, consistent home where he can continue gaining confidence and learning that he doesn’t have to fend for himself anymore. In return, he’ll offer endless laughs, big snuggles, and the huge reward of watching a once-struggling dog grow into his best self.If you’re ready to help a good boy keep becoming great, Parker is waiting to meet you.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:53 lbs.HOME TYPE:House or Townhouse - Parker can be vocalCHILDREN:No - Due to resource guardingCATS & SMALL ANIMALS:NoOTHER DOGS:Yes - but adopters will need to monitor other dogs in the home with Parker especially around high value food items. Food should never be fed together between other dogs and Parker due to resource guarding.ACTIVITY/ENERGY LEVEL:High; will need a lot of daily exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation.HUMAN COMPATIBILTY:First time dog owner possible as long as they`re willing to work on difficult behaviours such as resource guarding.TRAINING REQUIREMENTS/NEEDS:Three in-person training to work on socialization, basic training and manners (such as jumping and mouthing), and resource guarding.HUMAN SOCIAL IN SHELTER:Once comfortable Parker is very human social and prefers to be around his favourite people as much as possible.FAVOURITE THINGS:Food, treats and his people!
