Story

Jaxon is 12yrs old and slowing down a little bit. He needs someone who can take him for more walks and let him sleep on a couch. He is good in a home with older kids! He is a puggle, so he DOES shed quite a bit even with regular grooming. He is food motivated. He does bark but doesn't last long. Looking for the right fit, MUST be willing to keep me updated on him through pictures and if close enough, possible visits. Any other questions please ask

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Introducing Mariah! This high energy little lady is quite the looker. With her beautiful tricolor coat, and big satellite dish ears she is cute as can be. Mariah is a somewhat unique mix of Collie, German Shepherd, and Husky. Although it is hard to say, we think Mariah may end up being around 40lbs when she is full grown which would match the size of the mother dog. Mariah has come to PDR along with her siblings after being discarded by a puppy mill. From the moment she walked into her foster home she has been all silliness and sass! She is an extremely personable pup and has warmed up immediately to all the people she has met . She is an energy-packed puppy who loves to zoom around and wrestle with her foster siblings. Like a typical puppy, Mariah is currently teething so EVERYTHING goes in her mouth. Her future forever family will need to keep a close eye on her as he continues to learn what is safe for chewing and what is not. So far Mariah is showing herself to be quite a smart little pup and is picking up on the routine of day to day life quite quickly. She has been learning about crate training, and spends her evenings and times when her foster family is out of the house in her crate. While she is quite calm sleeping in her crate at night she does still take a few minutes to settle while being crated. Crate training is an excellent tool to keep puppies safe when they are unattended and to help them develop a sense of independence while not with their “pack”. Mariah has had a visit with the vet and has been given her puppy vaccinations, microchipped and has been treated for fleas/ticks/intestinal parasites. It was noted by the PDR vets that she has a fairly significant overbite that is not causing her any major issues at this time. She is quite young her jaw will continue to adjust as she grows, however it should be on her future family’s radar as her vet will need to monitor her teeth alignment once she is full grown if the overbite remains. As far as non-medical needs go she has shown to be tolerant of grooming such as baths and nail cuttings without much if any fussing at all. Like most puppies this silly girl loves to play hard! She loves playing tug of war and running around the house chasing her foster siblings or fetching toys. She is especially cute playing fetch as she likes to bound like a cat pouncing on her toys. Her foster family is working on teaching her how to relax as well as play politely, as this is a skill that puppies develop over time. When she is finally tuckered out and sits still she loves a good cuddle with her foster humans and doggy siblings. Mariah has been learning to walk on leash, and has started taking small walks outside through the neighborhood. She is also working on her house training, which, as a puppy, is a work in progress that requires consistency from her humans and lots of patience. Her forever family should know that puppies need to be taken outside for bathroom breaks very regularly when they are small and will not be able to hold it for an 8hr work day. Currently she can only hold it during the day/overnight for a max of 3 to 4 hrs so her forever family will need to be able to accommodate a puppy schedule. She is also still waking up once in the night for a potty break. We are looking for families that are fully aware of the time commitment of a puppy and the work involved. Puppies are a total joy and bring so much love and happiness into a home, but you cannot underestimate the work and time involved in raising a puppy properly. Mariah would do best in a home with a fenced in yard where she can safely run around and can be supervised outdoors at all times while she’s still young. She would do best with one to two good walks a day (shorter ones while young), and will grow into a very active dog that would need longer activities and hikes. She is going to be a very energetic dog that requires a lot of fast paced exercise when older. She will not be suitable for those who can only accommodate a short, slower paced walk, her people need to be active and outdoorsy who will take her on long walks, hikes, runs etc. Although she may not grow to be very big, she will be very athletic and very active and only those who are currently very active and outdoorsy people should consider this cute puppy. Mariah has been showing us just what a sweet fun girl she can be.! She is quite smart but also has a lot of opinions on what she likes to do! She can be quite the vocal little lady, which is quite common for the husky breed. Fun fact: she was named Mariah both because she was a Christmas intake, and her ability to sustain a high note! Because of this we do not recommend that he go to a forever home in an apartment or condo, but instead will need a detached home. She will need a family that understands how important boundaries are for puppies, even when she voices her disagreement. Mariah has been very well behaved with the other dogs that she has met, and so far has not shown any interest in small animals outside. She has not been tested with cats. We think she would do well with an older male dog sibling to show her the ropes, but also would do great as a solo dog in a home. Because of her age, she needs a family with children 7 years of age or older who can handle puppy antics, be careful to close doors, and understand that sometimes hands look like toys when playing and can be nipped. Mariah has been a sweet and silly puppy since she walked through the door, and her foster family thinks she is quite the catch. It has been a riot watching her bounce around the snow like a bunny, and enthusiastically discover the world around her. Her excitement and enthusiasm is sure to bring endless joy to the family that gets to experience the adventures of life with her.

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Barker! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. This beautiful boy is Barker. He is a male Collie/German Shepherd/Husky mix and is 3mths old dog, pup who will make a great family dog! His markings make him such a stunning boy. Barker is in his foster home with his two siblings ‘Cohen’ and ‘Buns’, also has two grown foster dog siblings. Gets alone great with them and shows no food/toy aggression. Barker will be a medium size strong dog when fully grown, weighing approximately 45+ pounds, gentle, affectionate and friendly nature. He is confident, smart, fun and will be a very loyal boy. Of course, you have to get through the crazy puppy stage, but he will become, when trained and socialized properly, a fantastic dog! Barker is very affectionate and would love to go everywhere with his people. He stays by your side and always want to have you in his sights. He is a high energy pup, active when awake and then loves to snuggle when he is tired. His favourite place to cuddle is either on you or beside so he can feel you. He is very intelligent, and eager to please. He learns quick and thrives to make his human happy when doing something he is asked. Outside he will be your side kick, you garden you’ll have an extra set of hands or he will just watch with curiosity. Inside he has no problems occupying himself with toys and chewing on bones. We will only consider a home where someone is home or has the capabilities to come home throughout the day multiple times as a puppy cannot hold it for more than a few hours at this age. We are also looking for families that are fully aware of the time commitment of a puppy and the work involved. Puppies are a total joy and bring so much love and happiness into a home, but you cannot underestimate the work and time involved in raising a puppy properly. They need constant supervision while young to continue expediting the house-training stage and to ensure they aren’t chewing on anything inappropriate. We are also looking for a family that will crate train as we fully believe that this is the best for pups and offers them a quiet and secure “den” to call their own. A crate trained pup is a blessing as it offers a safe place to put them when you can’t be watching them all the time. We will consider a home with children over 10yrs of age. Barker is at the terrible nippy/jumpy/bitey stage and will be too much for younger children, especially being on the more strong side. If there will be young children in the home (7yrs to 10yrs) then we would need the family to be experienced dog owners who are fully aware of how to manage a young, excitable puppy with young, excitable children. Supervision is key and the adults in the home would need to ensure that puppy/children management is a task they wish to take on. For a home without young children we would consider 1st time dog owners. Any family considering him needs to take obedience training and socialization seriously and have the time to dedicate in the 1st year especially of the dog’s life to this. The more that is done in their 1st year, the better dogs they will be! Barker can go to a home with or without another dog. However, if another dog he/she will need to be the same size of dog and well natured. A home with a cat would be fine as well keeping in mind that proper training and supervision is key around a cat. Barker is not suitable for apartment living, as he enjoys the outside too much and will need supervised yard time to be happy. He will be fine with a townhouse/condo as long as he has access to an outside area. Keeping in mind of course that while he is settling in, a crying puppy in the crate when no one is home is to be expected so if an attached living situation, there must be good noise barriers to avoid neighbour complaints. Barker is catching on to house-training well, he goes and sits by the door until you let him out. In his new home he will need a set routine for outside potty times for the first while. Expect to take him out every few hours, after every meal and after crate time. Barker will be suited for higher energy activities so active people would be a great fit, he will need approximately 60+ minutes of exercise every day, not just simple walks around the block though. He will need a home with a yard, a fenced in yard would be ideal and convenient for puppy training but is not mandatory. Barker has not had much experience on leash walking so time and patience will be very important for the first few weeks. He has also not been exposed to high traffic areas so many smaller walks during the day will be a benefit for his leash confidence. Adopters will be responsible for the continuation of puppy vaccinations and all other required vet care at their veterinarian of choice. Barker has had everything medically that puppies their age should have and microchipped as well. The forever family must also not have any holidays away planned for months coming up after adoption or be planning to move in the near future. Stability is key in months after adoption. We will be expecting our adoptive families to attend at minimum, level 1 obedience school asap after his adoption. The guidance and lessons learned in puppy classes are very important to getting your pup off to a good start. We handle his every day and will be offering him everything he needs to be the best pup he can be when he leaves our care but we need the adoptive families to take over for us when they get her home. We take our responsibilities very seriously and only want the best. We adore Barker and will settle for nothing less than a dedicated, loving family that is well aware of the breed (all) requirements and the needs of this breed mix. We also are looking for families that want the dogs they will grow to become, not just the little bundle of furry cuteness. If you have been thinking about adding a puppy to your family and have the time and patience to properly raise a pup then Barker may just be perfect for you. We know you will fall in love with him as deeply as we have when you meet him. He is simply adorable.

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Natalie! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Isn’t she just adorable? This is Natalie, she was born Sept 19, 2025 and currently weighs 11lb (and growing) and she is a super unique German Shepherd/Boston terrier mix. She is mostly black with tan coloured legs and a white blaze on her chest. Natalie is a compact and solid little girl. Her fur is short and smooth. She is built more like the Boston terrier than Shepherd. She is a very lively, happy and active puppy. Natalie was part of a litter of puppies discarded by a puppy mill as unsold. Since Natalie is a very young puppy she has not had any of the negative influences often seen in puppy mill dogs so she acts like a typical 10 week old puppy. She is full of beans and likes to annoy her foster brothers who for the most part tolerate her antics. They will however put her in her place if she gets too crazy. This however rarely stops her completely and a couple minutes later she is back at it. For this reason it is important that her new family has experience with dogs and knows how to work with them to redirect unwanted behaviours. Any dogs in the home need to be puppy friendly and happy to engage with a joyful, busy spitfire of a sister. Natalie would not be suitable for first time dog owners. Natalie will need a home with access to a yard since she will grow into an active medium sized dog who needs room to run and play. Natalie has started going up stairs but not down stairs, however she will pick this up quickly as she gets older. Natalie will bark when she is playing but is not a barker for no reason. She has not mastered leash skills yet but this is something we are working on with her. As she grows Natalie will require at least two good walks daily of 45 minutes or three 30 minute walks or a walk and some vigorous backyard play. She will grow into an active adult dog that will need to be challenged both mentally and physically in order to become and remain a well-rounded dog. Natalie is very affectionate and will give little kisses. Her tail is always wagging and she is a mischievous little girl. She will make you laugh with her antics. She loves to wrestle with a stuffed dog that is as big as she is right now. She also loves to play fetch with her tennis ball. She is already learning to retrieve it and return it to you. We are teaching her to drop it once she has brought it back. Natalie is energetic and very playful and has the Boston Terrier energy and enthusiasm for all things fun. To date Natalie has had her nails trimmed and handled it without fuss. Overall Natalie’s grooming needs will be minimal. Natalie is progressing with her house training but it is a work in progress. Natalie is crate trained so that when you cannot supervise her 100% she is in her crate to keep her out of mischief and not allow her to have accidents in the home. Natalie eats all her meals in her crate. When she is put in her crate she may fuss for a couple minutes but will then settle and go to sleep our quietly play with her toys. Natalie sleeps in her crate at night and right now she usually needs out about once during the night. Although she has had the odd night where she will sleep for about 7.5 to 8 hours. We take her out and she quickly does her business and then back to bed. She is quiet in her crate at night and only whines when she needs to go out. Natalie rides in her crate when travelling in the car and she is quiet in her crate and falls asleep for the trip. She shows no signs of car sickness. Natalie has had several car rides of about 1 hour each. Natalie currently lives with three other dogs who are all smaller breed dogs, two dog-savvy cats and a couple parrots. She has shown no interest in the parrots. She likes to run at the cats and try and play with them albeit being a bit rough at times. So as long as the cats are dog savvy and have a place to escape to, she could live with a cat. She would just need further training on proper behaviour with a cat. I am sure Natalie could live with a neutered male dog but it would need to be tolerant of puppy antics and of similar size to what she will grow into. Another energetic, playful, well mannered brother would be great for Natalie to mentor off of. She could be the only dog in the home as well, as long as her people are active, busy, outdoorsy types who have the time to devote to a puppy. Puppies are a wonderful addition to any family but they are a big commitment and will need considerable work to develop them into the well-balanced adult they deserve to be. Natalie would be fine with older children (over 10). Natalie is a bit jumpy and is at the nippy stage in her development. This would be too much for young children. Older children could help with Natalie’s training and help her burn off excess energy, which would be good for helping to forge a bond. Natalie would also be fine with an active couple looking to spend time doing activities with Natalie. As Natalie is a puppy she will need to go to a home where someone is home during the day or is able to come home throughout the day to let her out and take her for a little walk and play. Natalie would not be able to hold it for an 8 hour work day. At this time she can only be left for a couple hours max during the day so anyone interested in her needs to have a schedule that suits a young puppy. Puppies are a lot of work and require dedication and time. Any family considering adopting Natalie needs to make sure she attends puppy socialization class immediately upon adoption, along with, at minimum, level one obedience classes. Natalie is a very bright puppy and has already learned the sit command. She is working on down, come and out (command to drop what she has in her mouth). She is picking up very quickly. This makes her an ideal candidate for more advanced training. To date Natalie has had all age appropriate vaccinations. She has also been tested and treated for worms and been micro chipped. Her future family will be responsible for the continuation of her vaccines and health care. Natalie will need to be returned to PDR’s vet for spaying when she reaches six months of age. This will be mandatory, so any potential adopters need to live within about an hour of Cambridge to make this feasible. She will be adopted out on a contract that mandates her return for spay. Are you ready to add this wonderful little girl to your family? Do you have the time and energy to help Natalie achieve her full potential? If so you will be rewarded with a wonderful canine companion who will give you years of love, enjoyment and memories. Natalie has such a bright personality and sharp mind that you can’t help but fall in love with her.
