Story
PHOEBE / 6 yrs / FEMALE / MIXED BREED / WEIGHT: 62lbs-28kgs) / Rescued from HAS / Currently fostered in Toronto Good with dogs and kids / Untested with cats / House and crate-trained Major medical concerns: recently had successful surgery on low-hanging mammary glands and is currently on the mend Hello! I'm Phoebe the happy, low-maintenance, outdoor-loving dog you've been looking for. I love going on walks and exploring the area and while I don't love too much puppy energy, I'm always excited to meet new people and their dogs! Did I mention I'm pretty easygoing? I'm happy to adjust my schedule to match yours and I'm pretty good at entertaining myself if you're busy or gone out. I can happily spend my time going between tearing up my stuffed toys to napping in my crate until you're ready to hang out. As a bonus, I'm completely house-trained, crate-trained, and not destructive in the least. You can leave me home alone in or out of the crate and not have to worry at all! I spent a lot of my life being pregnant and becoming a momma and thus have a very nurturing and a little overprotective nature. Sometimes it takes me a bit longer to accept a new person until I feel safe around them, but if you give me some time and lots of treats, we'll soon be friends forever! Fortunately, in my previous life, I was very well-trained. I have great recall and I know all my basic commands including sit, paw, and even go to bed. I love showing off my skills or learning new ones if it means I get treats! More importantly, since I'm pretty calm and don't tend to jump, I'm known to be great around children of all ages. I would just prefer a slow controlled introduction at the beginning to make sure our energy levels match. Oh, one more thing I need to tell you is that I LOVE car rides! I'm pretty great when it comes to getting in the car but you should probably seatbelt me, or I'll find my way into the front seat to hang out with you while you're driving. I currently live in downtown Toronto. I don't mind the noise or city life and fortunately, there aren't too many things that scare me. I am hoping, however, to find a home with a backyard or access to a green space very close to home. I would be okay as an only dog or in a home with another low or medium-energy dog. I don't mind if you have to go to work every day and leave me home or if you prefer I sleep in my crate while you're gone, as long as you're willing to go outside with me a few times a day and once in a while invite me to snuggle up and nap or watch a movie with you. In return, I promise to love you unconditionally, always and forever! I hope we're a match because I can't wait to meet you!

Meet Toast the hunk: On hug duty and squirrel patrol! Toast / 1 yr 7 mo / Male / Mixed breed / 25 kg / Rescued from Tennessee  / Currently fostered in MississaugaGood with dogs | House and crate-trained Toast’s charming, affectionate and playful personality lights up any room. His stoic face and beautiful brown eyes might make him seem serious, but don’t be fooled—Toast is all about fun, naps and hugs. This 55-pound lovebug enjoys hosting parties, chewy toys, outdoor sniffaris, car rides, and lounging with his humans. Toast is a big-time hugger and thrives on human interaction - saying hi to every person and dog he meets. He’s quickly learned obedience commands and is a hard worker. Although sometimes he gets distracted. He has learned to settle in his crate but might tell you “I’m being a good boy, but I don’t like this” in his native dog language. Although Toast hasn’t been tested with children, he has shown no concern when walking by them. He has shown some guarding behaviour with his foster dog sibling and prefers to be the center of attention at home. His initial excitement around cats has calmed, but because of his prey drive, a cat-free home would be ideal. As for squirrels, they’re his sworn nemesis, and he loves nothing more than watching and hoping to chase them.  Toast would thrive in a house with a fenced yard where he could lounge, play, and watch squirrels in peace. He would thrive with a family that would take him on adventures, and is ready to give and receive lots of affection. His vocal personality might not be ideal for apartments or close neighbours. Toast’s loving nature and fun personality make him an excellent family dog. If you’re ready to give Toast a home where he can continue to thrive apply today at: www.caninehaven.org/dog-application Neutered / Microchipped / Vaccinations up to date **PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED -  https://caninehaven.org/dog-application/* For inquiries please do not use Adoptapet/Petfinder inquiry button - send an email directly to hello@caninehaven.org

Story
TEDDY 🖤 This adorable guy is Teddy. Located in BRANTFORD, ON Weight: He is approximately 50 lbs. Good with dogs: Teddy ignores small dogs and likes to wrestle with bigger dogs. Teddy does best with submissive dogs or dogs that can recognize when he has had enough of playing. He would do best as an only pet. Good with cats: No Good with kids: Teddy would do best in a home without children. Housetrained: In progress. Crate Trained: Yes Leash Trained: Teddy is great on the leash. He requires the occasional reminder not to pull but responds very quickly to corrections. He knows basic commands like sit and down. He knows to stay until he is told “free”. As well he knows “place”. Energy level: High Health Concerns: None HW status: Negative Spay/neutered?: Yes Tell us about this dog: Teddy is a great dog but he is not for first time dog owners. He is extremely lovable and is always happy to see you. He has a few quirks worth noting. First off, he has springs as feet! This boy can jump. He would make an excellent agility or watersport competitor. Secondly, when he wags has tail his entire backend moves - he has a wiggly butt. It is absolutely adorable. Finally, Teddy has anxiety and reactivity. Teddy's foster parents have attended private training lessons and report that he is learning appropriate means of dealing with his anxiety and reactivity. He wants to please and is a quick learner. On going training would be extremely beneficial to both Teddy and his future adopters to help them both bond and understand each other's needs and expectations.

Story
Kody Breed: Pointer/ Cattle Dog mix Gender: Male Weights: 46 lbs Age: 2 yrs Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: yes Good with kids: Yes older kids Housetrained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Leash Trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Health Concerns: None HW status: Negative Spay/neutered?: Yes Tell us about this dog: Kody was saved from euthanization at a high kill shelter in San Antonio, Tx. It is believed that at some point Kody was physically abused and would get defensive when he felt threatened. Kody has come a long ways and his trust in people has grew more and more everyday. He is an active fun boy who loves kids, getting belly rubs, and playing with toys. Kody is very treat motivated and is eager to learn new things. He enjoys car rides. Kody loves going for walks, hiking, and/or jogging. Kody had been through behavioral training prior to coming into our rescue. These are notes from the trainer. Kody knows multiple commands. Below are the commands he knows and notes from his trainer: - look at me/pay attention Sit Come here- recall Touch- nose to hand target command Wait- pause in action- ESPECIALLY at doors!! Settle- relax Leave it- back away and leave that alone (barking/fixation/food/ leash excitement) Place- go to k-bed (point) Let’s go- change in direction/follow me Kennel- go into kennel or crate “Uh-uh”(buzzer type sound) or firm NO SIR for verbal correction. “Ok” for release WITH FOOD- - ANY resource guarding must be corrected verbally and redirected with obedience. As soon as he trusts you he is fine, but with new people He will test. ANY physical threat or punishment will overwhelm and escalate him- his behavior demonstrated that someone tried to punish the growling out of him and he gets defensive- you must redirect him into the bed and release him to eat when friendly and calm. He is calmer and eats better in a home environment- crate, hand feeding or bowl by your feet in a house he does well with. In a kennel he tends to be more defensive, so work outside the kennel barrier, then move inside and get him comfortable with you being in there with him while he eats before touching him while he eats.

Story
Jazz Female / 12 years / spayed Cairn Terrier x mini Schnauzer cross Meet Jazz the senior dog dumped at a shelter & who deserves a great home to live out the rest of her life. She’s 19 lbs & has a beautiful Smokey coloured coat! She will need regular grooming & brushing. She was severely matted when we rescued her, with feces cemented into her coat :( We don’t know a whole lot about her past but she has lived in a home & was housetrained. Accidents should be expected as she adjusts to her new home! She does not belong in a shelter & should have a warm comfy dog bed to lounge in :) Health notes: - cataracts on eyes from old age (no treatment needed right now) - can nip when stressed out (kids are not advised) - a very patient, kind owner is needed - has some stomach sensitivities and seems to be quite picky with food, eating very little if not encouraged - we therefore need an owner who’s home most of the time (retired or works from home) & who is extremely patient to allow Jazzy to open up and feel safe If you’d like to foster to adopt Jazz apply now: You can find my form " Rescue Dog Adoption Application" at: https://form.jotform.com/211694512438255 Currently in Hamilton, ON Adoption fee is $500

Story
Troy Male / 52 lbs / American Bulldog x Shar pei x Dogo mix (best guess) Neutered Vaccinated Chipped HW negative This beauty is only a year old & has so much life left in him!!! He’s definitely a loving playful dog and would benefit from lots of activities outdoors. He needs an active person or family to keep him busy. He has not been tested around cats or young children. So in his new home he will need teenagers or older as he loves to jump up and can be super goofy so would definitely knock over young kids. He currently has some hot spots and thus, has some sensitive skin. No known food allergies. He would love a Kong stuffed with treats or peanut butter that he has to work on :) a slow feeder bowl would also stimulate this boy! He’s good with other dogs and he is strong so a halti or gentle leader would definitely aid in his leash skills. He is house trained. Troy is looking for a foster home or a foster to adopt home. To foster: You can find my form "Foster Application Form for Cats, Dogs & Rabbits" at: https://form.jotform.com/211614455997263 To foster to adopt: You can find my form " Rescue Dog Adoption Application" at: https://form.jotform.com/211694512438255 Adoption fee is $750
