Story
My name is Bandit. I am a very sweet boy who loves lots of petting. I`m up for adoption because my human sibling is a toddler and she causes me lots of anxiety. I need a home without any young children. I love other dogs! I would thrive in a home with another dog for me to play with every day. I love to go for long walks. I am house trained. I don`t jump on the furniture. I`m just great! I need a home with lots of love, attention and pets. I am neutered, flea treated, dewormed, microchipped, and needles up to date. Please just love and pet me.

Story
Apollo was brought into our home to be a help to a teen with ADHD and emotional struggles. Unfortunately the teen has not been able to offer the care and upkeep needed for the dog to be properly looked after, leaving this to myself who for health reasons is not able to care for the pup. We are looking for a good home for Apollo. He is loving, gets along well with other dogs, and his humans as well.

For Adoption: Tiffany! 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/. So Adorable! This pretty girl is Tiffany she was one out of three puppies that were found roaming alone in a remote area in northern Manitoba defending for themselves for shelter and food. Since she has been in our care she has been on a high quality diet and is filling out to a healthy weight with a beautiful soft blond and white coat. This little angel will steal your heart when her eyes pierce your soul and she smothers you with kisses. Tiffany will be a medium to large dog, sturdy, very high energy. She is an approximately 12 weeks old Lab/Husky mix. With her breed mixes we expect her to be a smart, loyal, affectionate and a best buddy. She will be capable of doing anything you wish to participate in, she is already showing signs that she will be interested in everything you’re doing, a sassy nosey body really. She will make a great family pet, she is so attentive already at this early age. Tiffany is a great mix of breeds for a family dog gentle, friendly natured, fun and super active. Of course, you have to get through the crazy puppy stage, but the dog she will become, when trained and socialized properly, will be a fantastic dog! We will only consider a home for where someone is home or has the capability to come home throughout the day. She will need to be taken outside for bathroom breaks very regularly, will not be able to hold it for an 8hr work day. 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 expedite the house-training stage, which is coming along well 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. Most naps are in her crate and she has no problems being in there, however we have to also have our cuddle time. She loves cuddling up and sleeping on your lap for one on one time. We will consider a home for Tiffany with children over 6yrs of age. Puppies have their terrible nippy/jumpy/bitey stage coming up and will be too much for younger children. If there will be young children in the home (6-11) 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. Her family needs to take obedience training and socialization seriously and have the time to dedicate in the 1st year of Tiffany's life. The more that is done in the 1st year, the better dog she will be! She is so treat motivated, she will be putty in your hands when it comes to training. Right now we mostly use her food ‘kibble’ and she thinks it’s like the best thing ever. Her recall is fantastic, she can’t run fast enough to you. Can just imagine the great ‘behaved’ dog she will become. A home with or without other dogs is just fine, she does have her two siblings with her plus two older foster sibling in the home now. If there is another dog in the home it will need to be a neutered male dog that is tolerant of puppies and willing to play. A home with a female dog won’t be suited for her in her forever home, A home with a cat would be fine as we’ll keeping in mind the proper training and supervision is key around a cat. Tiffany won’t be suitable for high rise apartment/condo living. She is going to thrive if someone is at home majority of the days, she will be that excellent companion girl close all the time. She would love her people to be active and outdoorsy, she will need a couple walks a day in all weather. She will be suited for higher energy activities so very active people would be a great fit. She will require more than just simple walks around the block though. A home with a good sized fenced in yard would be ideal for her to burn some energy between walks, and convenient for puppy training. Tiffany is too little to be spayed/neutered before adoption so potential adopters must live with in a reasonable distance (within an hour) of Cambridge as she must be returned to our vet at a later date to be spayed (included in adoption cost). Adopters must be able to drop her off in the morning and pickup later that day for this surgery. Adopters will be responsible for the continuation of puppy vaccinations and all other required vet care at their veterinarian of choice. She will have had everything medically that puppies their age should have and has been 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 adopt families to attend puppy socialization class with Tiffany immediately upon adoption, along with, at minimum, level 1 obedient school after. The guidance and lessons learned in puppy classes are very important to getting your pup off to a good start. We take our responsibilities very seriously and only want the best for her. We adore Tiffany and will settle for nothing less than a dedicate, loving family that is well aware of the breed requirements and the needs of a puppy. We also are looking for families that want the dog she will grow to be become, not just the little bundle of curry cuteness. If you have been thinking about adding a medium/large breed puppy to your family and have the time and patience to properly train a pup then Tiffany may just be perfect for you. We know you will fall in love with her as deeply as we have when you meet. Tiffany is simply adorable. #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #rescuedog #adoptdontshop #pounddogs #pdr14years #pounddogrescue14yearsstrong Name: Tiffany ID # PDR1526 Age: 3mths Gender: female Spayed: will be done UTD vaccines: yes Breed: Lab/Husky Colours: cream Coat length: short House trained: in progress Special needs: no OK with kids: older OK with cats: yes Ok with dogs: yes, males Status: adoptable Microchip: yes Size: med/large Location: Waterloo Adoption fee: $900

**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: Charm! 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/. Charm is a 2 year old beagle. She is a medium size dog, weighing 30lbs, with a classic brown, black and white coat. She has floppy ears which have some bumpiness to them from previously untreated ear infections, but she is all good now. Charm is her personality; she is eager to please and to be loved by her people. The name Charm came from my daughter who liked the name from something she watched as a child. Charm also responded to it when we used it with her. Charm was a stray so we really do not know much about her history. She has a sweet personality and a need for attention and closeness, she also demonstrates resilience in manner reminding us that you “catch more flies with honey…”. She is a bit of a velcro dog and follows the teens and foster mother around the house needing to be within sight all the time. A family who has lots of time to give her attention in the form of pets, walks and daily chats would be very welcome in her life. A calm yet active family environment with children old enough to be dog savvy would be a great place for Charm to live. Children in the home will need to be over the age of 8yrs as Beagles will take any advantage to head out and go searching for a scent to track…so doors and gates need to always be firmly shut right away and the children in the home need to be aware of this and responsible enough to always shut the doors behind them. She enjoys the attention that she gets from the teens living in her foster home and follows them around when they are home. Charm enjoys a quiet home environment and gets nervous with a lot of noise or activity. We noticed that when the neighbours were having a boisterous “party” and the voices were loud that she was intimidated and did not want to venture outside to pee even though there was a fence dividing the 2 properties. She herself is a quiet beagle. She has only demonstrated her classic beagle bray a handful of times and quickly quieted herself when nothing came of it and/or a “quiet” from her foster was given. She gets a walk in the morning and another in the evening but would certainly go out more often. Beagles are outdoorsy, active dogs so her forever family will need to embrace this and ensure that she is getting the exercise she needs to be happy. Her leash skills are a work in progress, but she does well when the leash is kept a little shorter as she will get underfoot following her nose otherwise. . She will pull towards other dogs and wildlife, we are actively working on this so she can continue to be a good walker. She is less motivated by food when she is on a walk. Charm welcomes her foster family home and looks for scratches and attention by sitting on her back legs with her front paws up. She is curious and wants to be a part of everything. Be careful when you go to sit down as she will often get behind or underneath you! She knows “off” as she can sometimes get demanding by climbing up on her foster mom with her front paws. When “off” is said, she will remove her paws and lean in with her head for a scratch. It is such a sweet and lovely cuddle. When done scratching her, she will usually find her own space, within reach, to take a snooze. Charm house trained well and seemed to do her business outside but initially was able to take such a quick pee if you turned for one second away but once caught in the act, and “nuh unh” was used and she was brought outside, this incident was not repeated. When she begins to frantically sniff around (and there is no food available) we know she needs to get outside. We are using bells to show her how to ask to go outside with some success. She is definitely not left alone in the house unsupervised as we need to be able to capture her attention to go outside quickly and we use positive reinforcement/food for doing so, especially when bells have been rung. Charm allowed her foster mom to trim her nails and give her a bath within a week of taking her in and before her spay. While she did not find it the most enjoyable experience, sometimes pulling her paws back or moving out of arms reach in the bath, she enjoyed the liver treats being given at regular intervals and allowed for the grooming to be done. She is a very tolerant dog and will acquiesce to most things if food is involved. She settles in her crate quickly with a little peanut butter as a reinforcement but will initially resist entering it. At night, she has a crate in the bedroom and willingly, without demand, will “go to bed” into her crate for the night. She typically sleeps all night (6-8hours) before becoming restless. The crate prevents her from getting into things and making messes while we are away or busy. She has not yet had an accident in her crate. She is crated in the day when we are not home and does well. The crate is used for car rides as well. She will whine a bit but eventually settles down for the ride. Charm has a feline foster brother, Rusty who she merely takes a quick sniff of from time to time. She heeds the hiss of the cat when he has had enough. They share a water bowl but the cat food is put where Charm cannot access it as she would eat that too! Charm would do well as the only dog in the home but could also do well with a quiet natured male dog. Charm is slowly but surely learning her manners. Charm usually responds to “come” especially if it sounds exciting. She knows “sit” and does not receive reward until all four paws are on the floor. She knows “off” and will remove whatever her front paws are on when it is said firmly. She is learning to ring her bells and has demonstrated this more each day but still requires reminders. By helping her ring them each time she goes outside, the connection is being made. When eating at the kitchen table and her begging is ignored, she defaults to the couch and takes a snooze or watches her family eat. She is a bit of a menace when her foster mom wants to bring tea or a snack to have in front of the TV by pawing at her and trying to climb onto the table where the tea is placed. “Off” is more difficult to obey when food is involved. Putting her leash on at this time can be helpful. She will eventually settle, but only after she realizes that her foster is not going to give her anything. She will also need more training such as “leave it”, “drop it” to keep herself safe in the event she tries or succeeds in getting hold of something that she shouldn’t have, like the bunny she caught the day of her spay… If Charm were tall enough, she would counter surf so we have avoided putting human food within her reach. Basic obedience training will teach Charm and her new family together how to manage her manners. A calm and active family would be a great forever home for Charm. She will thrive with lots of attention and togetherness of trusted people in her life. Ultimately, she is a loving soul who craves and deserves attention and love in return. With the right training and investment of time, she will be a treasured family member. She is a Charm.

**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: Apricot! 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/. Meet Apricot a 6 year old mid-size 20 lbs cocker spaniel who was recently rescued from puppy mill life and who is cautiously exuberant to explore this new found freedom. Her name reflects her colouring which is soft, warm and inviting and matches perfectly with her personality. With her foster family she is known as Happy Appie because she welcomes all humans with a wagging tail. We love this dog very much and want to share with you how great she is! Like many mill dogs she is working through learning about life in the big, wide world as she learns to say goodbye to her old life and attempts to comprehend what it means to become a much loved pet. She tries very hard to understand what is now required of her and always does her best to please. Initially she would cower when first approached by humans and would maintain a rigid posture hoping for the best, evidence of the negativity of previous handlings. A slow, gentle, quiet approach allowing her to make the first move towards you proved to somewhat calm her fears. She is looking for a home with someone around frequently who is patient and committed to helping her build some newly required skills. She is easily startled and reacts to loud noise by moving away to seek shelter elsewhere. Initially reluctant to move beyond the safety of her humans Apricot can now be seen willingly exploring every facet of her backyard. She loves the freedom of running wild back there. She is thrilled when she spots a squirrel scampering along the fence line and enjoys the challenge of this make believe play. She walks on leash and eagerly takes in every scent along the way. A short leash is preferable as she is still learning this skill and does have a tendency to go from side to side. For only 20lbs she can be strong and she has a desire to chase squirrels and bunnies so her person needs to be able to confidently control her on leash when she wishes to pull. She was recently introduced to pack dog walks and this proved to be a very successful learning experience for her. Walking on leash remains a new learning experience for her and so obedience classes will be very beneficial to mastering this particular skill and also allow much needed confidence building and socialization. If you are looking for a pet who is quiet, laid back and committed to pleasing you then this is the gal for you. She is perfectly happy spending the majority of her time resting, preferably close to her humans. She needs a secure fenced yard for her beloved yard roaming time, and a good walk or 2 a day, but she isnt a high energy dog and is quite happy to chill with her people most of the day as long as she gets her outside time. Upon arrival Appie quickly bonded with her foster family following them around consistently from room to room. Eventually as time progressed she would remain on her pet bed and just stretch her neck to make sure she could see you should you go to another room. Apricot does not like being left behind and initially voiced her opposition to this by barking. Spending short periods of time behind a door separating us where she could be redirected when she barked proved to be effective. As long as she felt someone was around she felt safe and would settle down for longer periods of time. At this point she can easily be left for 3 to 4 hour periods. Eager to bond Appie feels very safe in close proximity to her humans so care should always be taken to make sure that she is not underfoot when moving around even inside the home, Should she be heading towards something unacceptable a quick aah, aah, will be her clue for redirection. She has had only a few accidents in the house upon arrival but has learned to hold it and knows now that she gets regular outdoor time to relieve herself. Treat motivated training is not her thing but she does enjoy being told that she is a good girl. She is motivated by praise and affection. Apricot has a soft, flowing coat which requires some brushing to prevent matting. She tolerates being brushed and will sit somewhat quietly for short durations. She will need professional grooming every few months to stay tidy and free of mats. Apricot loves her crate. This is definitely her safe space. The crate door is usually left open and she will often wander into it throughout the day. At nighttime she will look to see that her human is close and then let herself into her crate and you never hear a peep from her until morning and even then she will let you set your own time to get up. She is a good travelling passenger. Somewhat hesitant to jump into the car, once inside she settles quickly and never makes a fuss. Apricot needs a quiet neighbourhood without a lot of hustle and bustle. She would do well in a rural setting, small town or quiet subdivision but is not suited for living on a busy road or in an urban setting. Apricot has done well in public greeting all humans with a wagging tail and submissive posturing. She is good with cats who will not run from her (dog savvy ones) and enjoys most dogs although she has been known to be cautious around larger dogs. On walks she is eager to encounter other dogs especially smaller ones. She is thrilled to see that there are squirrels everywhere and would be happy to engage in some kind of pursuit. Apricot would most likely be happiest either as an only dog basking up all the attention or with a calm, mature, smaller canine friend. Apricot treats kids much the same way she does adults. Their abruptness and noise level would most likely scare her so older children, over 10yrs of age, would be a better fit. Mill dogs are flight risks so everyone in the home needs to be very cautious around the door and make sure it is never left open for her to dart out of. Apricot is doing her best to understand this new life and although she really, really wants to please she is very new to all things dog and as noted before not treat motivated so training is delivered through slow gentle movements, soft gentle voices and quiet environments. Obedience training in this regard would be very beneficial to help her develop new skills such as walking on leash, listening to her person when distracted by dogs around her and understanding directions given by her humans. Apricot has been spayed and microchipped. She is up to date on vaccines, has tested negative for Heartworm and Tick Borne diseases and has received all her deworming. She had some mammary masses removed and we had them tested and they were benign. She also had a dental in our care and had 8 extractions. Her mouth is all clean and healthy now but it is to be expected that as she ages another dental will be required in the future, but this is the case for most smaller/med sized dogs and anyone interested in her needs to be prepared for that. The vets say that she was well behaved when in their care. Apricot has grown in many ways during her foster stay. She is a very easy keeper and doesnt ask for a lot, just some outdoor time, and lots of cuddles and snuggles inside. We absolutely love this sweet dog and know she is going to be a great companion for a Spaniel lover. She would do best in a quiet home, with someone who would enjoy leisurely walks and the company of a loyal friend. She will need time to continue coming out of her shell as she develops the skills of a family pet, and your gentleness and kindness will help guide her through this transition. Apricot will flourish with proper training. Shes left her past behind and is ready to fill your home with happy dances, wagging tails and unconditional love.
