Story
Nacho is a sweet and attention-loving, 8 year old bull mastiff mix. She is well trained, walks well, and listens to basic sit/stay commands. She regretfully is being re homed due to her incompatibility with children. There are a few things that make Nacho nervous, however she thrives in a calm home with lot's of love and attention. She needs reassurance often when near children, other pets, loud strangers. She enjoys short, slow walks where she can take time to "smell the roses". She loves snuggling and having her belly rubbed. She communicates well when nervous, and tends to retreat to a quieter area when things get overwhelming. The ideal home for Nacho would be a small quiet household consisting of older teens and adults. She appreciates routine and is an excellent companion for folks who enjoy home-based hobbies such as gardening, reading, crafting, etc.

Story
Meet Your New Best Friend! Jayce is a 3-year-old Brittnay Mix who is looking for his forever home. While he might be a little shy when you first meet him, give him a moment to come out of his shell, and you'll find a funny, bouncy, and deeply loving companion. Jayce is a "paws-on" kind of dog! He is famous for his hugs and will spend his time trying to wrap his paws around you if he isn't already trying to curl up in your lap. He is the perfect blend of a lounge partner and a playmate. Because of his cautious temperament, Jayce has some specific needs to help him feel safe and successful: No Other Dogs: He prefers being the "only child" and can be reactive toward strange dogs. Quiet Environment: He would not enjoy the high-stress environment of a dog park. Patient Humans: He needs an owner who understands he needs to approach new things at his own pace. No Strangers (at first): He can be vocal with people he doesn't know, but his loyalty to his inner circle is unmatched. If you have the patience to let him blossom, you will be rewarded with a level of love and loyalty that only a dog like Jayce can give. He is ready to be your most devoted friend. Jayce's adoption fee is $325 to offset the cost of vetting and help other rescues in need. He is currently located in Georgia and can be transported up to 1400 miles via our Canine Railroad.

Story
Hello? Are you looking for me?My name is Paisley and I`m a giant lovebug, weighing in at about 105lbs! I`m looking for a family with Dane experience, preferably without young kids in the home. I love my people so much, and dogs are okay I guess, if I have to I could live with one but I`d be even happier to be the only dog in the home. I`ve been passed through a few homes now and I really want to settle down forever.. I`m tired of being moved around :( If you think you could love me for the rest of my years, please come meet me! I can`t wait to come home!Paisley.

Story
Hi friends!My name is Gunner, I`m a 60lbs ball of fun and energy! I love to meet new people, play and go for nice long walks. I like playing with other dogs, but I can get a little *ahem* `excited` and they don`t always appreciate my enthusiasm, so I will need a few more corrections before the lesson sticks. I am a super friendly dude, I`m obedient and very clever- all I`m missing is a family to call my own! If you think you might be a good match for me, call my friends at 519-685-1330 to set up an appointment to meet me. <3Gunner.

Story
Good day everyone! The name`s Aruba, like the island I am beautiful and full of life. I`m also 49lbs of active fun! I love to walk, run, you name it. Some describe me as very energetic, I would say I am friendly and playful. I enjoy playing with my toys and love affection, giving and receiving. With other dogs, I think a calm submissive type would be ideal for me. I`m a more assertive kind of dog.I keep my run exceptionally clean and I am also excellent on walks. Some say I can be a bit picky when it comes to treats. Honestly I just like the best of the best is all. If I sound like a companion that`s a match for you and your fam, come down to London Animal Care Centre. Lets go for a walk together!Aruba.

Story
Hi, I`m Shiraz! I am a wonderful, friendly, affectionate girl with a big voice. I don`t think an apartment would be the best for me, since I am quite loud and boisterious. I try to keep my run clean most of the time, so it seems like I may be house trained! However, I could use some work on my leash manners, sometimes I forget there`s someone on the other end of the leash.. I do love rolling in the grass and taking in the sunshine though! I`m big and strong, weighing in at 86 lbs. If you`re looking for a loving sweet girl come down to London Animal Care Centre and lets meet. I am here!Shiraz.
