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 and NO OTHER DOGS!! He is a puggle, so he does shed 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

Story
Gus / Male / 14 Weeks / Shepherd x Elkhound / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: Yes / Location: Oakville River’s brother is also ready to find his forever family… meet Gus Another one of our brave parvo survivors, Gus is truly a little fighter with the sweetest soul. He’s come through so much and hasn’t let any of it dull his joyful, loving spirit. Gus is obsessed with his stuffies and chew toys, and he’ll happily play fetch with them over and over again. He loves to eat (no surprise there) and is highly food motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding. He’s a smart little guy who enjoys learning and engaging with his people. He loves to play, whether that’s romping around with other dogs, having a playful wrestle session, or watching the world go by from the window. He’s curious, happy, and always ready for the next adventure. Most of all, Gus is affectionate and full of love. He adores dogs, does wonderfully with children, and would make an incredible addition to just about any family ready for puppy fun. This super cute, playful boy is more than ready to start his next chapter. Could Gus be the one you’ve been waiting for? https://forms.gle/exiY3qp6pvFxzPqP6

Orbit / Male / 14 Weeks / Aussie x Elkhound / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: Yes / Location: Oakville Meet Orbit Another incredible parvo survivor with the sweetest soul. Orbit is an absolute ball of floof with a personality just as adorable. He is incredibly gentle and loving, with so much heart packed into his tiny body. Though he can be a little shy at first, once he feels safe he blossoms into the happiest, most affectionate boy. He’s playful and loves his toys and balls, and he is very food motivated (which makes training a dream!). Orbit is doing amazing with his house training and is already very good in his crate. This sweet boy loves his meals and loves his people even more. His favourite place to be? Snuggled right into your neck, soaking up all the closeness and comfort he can get. He has so much love to give and just wants a family to call his own. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this little fighter, please apply today.

Story
Dak / Neutered Male / 2 Years / 76lbs /Coonhound x Bulldog / Dogs: Yes / Cats: No / Kids: 16+ / Location: Port Colborne Reintroducing… DAK! Formerly known as Yamper, this handsome boy was adopted as a puppy but became “too much” for a busy family with young kids. Once back in our care, it was clear he hadn’t been given the consistency and structure he truly needed. He arrived in rough shape, but we got him healthy, confident, and ready for a fresh start. Dak spent time in foster and then moved to a wonderful boarding program where he’s been brushing up on his manners and learning all the “good boy rules.” And he’s been THRIVING. He plays with lots of different dogs every day He’s super well socialized He’d LOVE a playful canine buddy at home Dak is food motivated, affectionate, loves a good sniffari, and is always excited for new adventures. He’s incredibly sweet and sensitive, he wants to please, but he can get overstimulated without clear guidance. Dak needs a confident, committed human who will give him structure, enrichment, and leadership. In return? The biggest cuddles, a loyal companion, and a dog who will blossom with the right person. Here he’s become a well adjusted, happy boy. He can play or quietly entertain himself with a stick, or just take in the world around him. He’s ready for someone who will take the time to truly know him. We are currently looking for a foster, a foster-to-adopt home, or an adoptive home for Dak. He deserves his person, someone who will help him continue to grow and thrive. Could that be you? Apply to adopt/foster to adopt below, or reach out for more info on becoming a foster home for this swell guy. https://forms.gle/HNH8mmiKGfQXfuGr9

Story
River / Male / 14 Weeks / Shepherd x Elkhound / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: Yes / Location: St Catharines 📍 Another one of our incredible parvo survivors… meet River 💙🐾 River has the biggest heart and an even bigger personality. This sweet, rambunctious boy is the perfect balance of adventure buddy and cuddle bug. River loves other dogs. Playing is his absolute favourite thing, and he would thrive in a home with another playful pup to romp around with. He reads social cues beautifully for such a young puppy and is wonderfully respectful when other dogs set boundaries, something we love to see. He’s incredibly eager to please and very food motivated, which makes training an absolute dream. River already knows sit, lay down, shake paw, spin, leave it, and has a fantastic recall. He genuinely loves working his brain just as much as he loves his treats. We’ve been using his kibble for training instead of bowl feeding, and he’s soaking up new skills so quickly. When he’s not showing off his smarts, you can find him playing ball, enjoying a good game of tug, exploring outside, or living his absolute best life in the snow. ❄️ River is active, confident, endlessly curious, and full of love. When playtime winds down, he’s happiest snuggled up close with his people. This playful, confident love bug truly is the whole package. He would thrive in an active home that will continue his training, include him in adventures, and give him all the love he deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will grow into your very best friend, River is ready to meet his forever family. 💙 https://forms.gle/fRYfGMd2rNmhLTvF6

Story
Pongo / Neutered Male / 6 Months / Lab mix? / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: 13+ / Location: East Garafraxa Meet Pongo (again!) This handsome boy was adopted earlier this year but sadly returned just a month later. Pongo is a truly special pup who needs an equally special home to match. At just 6 months old and 45 lbs, Pongo is full of energy, smarts, and heart. While we were told he might be a Border Collie/Lab mix, we aren’t entirely sure, what we do know is that he won’t get too much bigger and that he’s 100% adorable. Pongo can be nervous in new situations or around unfamiliar people, but he’s been working so hard to overcome this. He even spent several weeks with our friends at stylek9dogtraining, where he learned amazing skills that will set him up for success. His future family will continue his journey with a few follow up classes, already covered in his adoption fee, because consistency is key for this sensitive boy. What makes Pongo amazing: Walks beautifully on leash, calmly and politely (even sitting at stops!) Crate trained & fully housebroken Snuggle king who always wants to be near his people Playful, smart, and food motivated, he learns fast! Loves doggy friends, is good with cats, and would thrive with or without another dog in the home Because of his nervous nature, Pongo would do best with older, dog savvy kids. A yard to run, play, and chase squirrels would be a dream for him. To help him settle in, Pongo will even come with his special “place bed” included in his adoption fee, we want to give him every chance to succeed. Pongo is sweet, loving, and so ready for a family who will understand his past and nurture his bright future. Could that be you? https://forms.gle/gMSrMCVFqQ3fb5gN8
