Baxter

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Male, 1 yr 1 mo

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Heyoooo, potential humans! My name is Baxter — part shepherd, part husky, and 100% dramatic main character. That’s right — I rooo, I narrate my life, I offer commentary on things only I can see, and occasionally I perform full Shakespearean monologues when my food bowl is empty. I am also extremely handsome, which I feel is important for you to know right away. I’m only a year old, so I’m still figuring out this whole “life” thing. I’m sweet, friendly, and will happily sit for treats like the polite little gentleman I am. At first I can be nervous — especially when my Emotional Support Human steps out of view — but once I warm up, I will shove my head directly into your hand like “hello yes pet me immediately.” On walks, I pull a little (I have things to investigate, okay?), but I’m not wild about it. I can be redirected ok, but will definitely need some help in this department. I LOVE treats (freeze-dried soft ones, please — I am a man of refined taste) and I LOVE attention. Toys? Eh. Maybe later, when I’m less nervous and more confident in my career as a household comedian. I’ve met strangers — cautiously at first — and dogs too! I bark a bit (I mean… I am part husky), sometimes for attention or because I have Important Thoughts. But once I settle, I’m soft-bodied, polite, and totally chill with a respectful dog friend. I do need a human who will help me learn how to be more of an inside dog, because I spent a lot of time outside in my past home. I want to learn! I just need someone patient who will show me that being indoors is safe and cozy and filled with snacks. I would prefer no apartment life (hallways are spooky, don’t ask), but a home with a yard? A calm dog friend? Respectful kids? Treats? Car rides??Oh baby. Now we’re talking. If you’re looking for: A talkative, sweet, slightly dramatic buddy…then hiiii, it’s me — Baxter, your future rooo-ing roommate.

Max

Labrador Retriever

Male, 4 yrs 2 mos

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Hi… I’m Max.I’m a gentle-hearted guy who’s still learning that the world isn’t as scary as it sometimes feels. I’m the kind of dog who watches first, thinks second, and maybe comes over third—especially in new places. I try my best, but new faces, new rooms, and new routines take me a little time to understand.When I’m nervous, I might hesitate, step back, or hide for a moment… but if you speak softly and give me space, I start to melt. Once I know you’re safe, I’ll slowly lean in, sit by your side, and even nudge my head under your arm to ask for more affection. I may look unsure on the outside, but inside I’m hoping for someone kind and patient who sees the sweet dog trying his best.I’m still working on feeling confident out in the world—sometimes I pull or get a little panicked on walks—but I listen well and redirect easily. I’ve met calm dogs and gentle people and done just fine once I’ve had a moment to settle. I warm up to men too, I just need them to go slow and let me approach on my terms.What I want most is a quiet, understanding home where I can decompress, take things one step at a time, and bond at my own pace. Give me patience, reassurance, and a little time, and I’ll give you all the love I’ve been holding onto. I really do want to trust—I just need the right person to help me get there.

Vegas (bonded with Charlie)

Labrador Retriever

Male, 5 yrs

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

I’m a 5-year-old Lab boy with a big heart, a big smile, and a whole lot of love to give. Life has been a little confusing lately—I came to the shelter after my owner couldn`t care for me anymore, but I know he loved me so so much and told me `Vegas, you`re a good boy and deserve a good life. I want to give you that chance, even if things might be confusing at first`. And so I ended up here, a bit out of sorts, but feeling better as I get to spend more time with people. I used to live with another senior dog named Charlie. He was a bit stressed here without me around, so the humans felt it best to keep us together. I know it`s harder for people to consider adopting 2 larger dogs, but we will keep each other busy and it will be double the love in your home!! What`s better than that??I love people. Like… a lot. I’m the kind of dog who will lean into you, melt into cuddles, and stay there for hours if you let me.When I’m excited (which is often), I might jump up or get a little mouthy—but I’m just trying to say hi!Being alone can make me worried, and sometimes I chew things to help myself feel better. But I can settle after a while—I think I just don`t want to be alone for the whole entire day you know? I`m an active dog and need lots of adventure and fun!The shelter has me doing a lot of marking (oops). I’m not neutered yet and everything here smells different, so I just need some patience and a refresher on house-training.What I’m really hoping for is someone who’s home more often, someone active who wants a fun, adventurous Lab to join them on life’s outings. If you want a loyal friend who will cuddle, play, and love you endlessly—I’m your guy, and I`d make such an excellent family dog!If you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, affectionate companion, come meet me. I can’t wait to finally find my person.

Diamond

German Shepherd Dog Labrador Retriever

Female, 9 yrs

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Hi, I’m Diamond!I’m a 9-year-old girl with a big heart, a waggy tail, and a soft spot for anyone willing to give me a good head scratch. I came to the shelter with some skin issues, so I can be a little sensitive when people touch certain spots—but I’m still an outgoing lovebug who can’t resist attention. If you’re gentle with me, I’ll lean right in for more.A Little About Me:I’m looking for a home where I can be the only dog, since things got tough between me and the other dog I lived with. But don’t worry—I’m great with kids and cats, and I’m happiest when I’m included in family life.What I’m Hoping For:I may be a grown-up girl, but I still need someone who can help me with basic training and keep building up my confidence with positive socialization. I learn fast and I love making my people happy, so I think we’ll do great together.Why You’ll Love Me:I’m affectionate, loyal, and full of sweetness. I just want a cozy home, gentle hands, and someone who sees the sparkle in me. If you’re looking for a devoted friend who will shower you with love every day, I’d love to meet you.Come say hi—I think we could be something special.A generous donator from `Oma`s Foundation` paid for Diamond`s adoption fee so the adopter only has to pay her $30 admin fee!

Levi

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, 3 yrs 1 mo

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Hi, I’m Levi — three years old, Labrador by birth, professional Nervous Nellie by personality.I’ll be honest with you right away: I’m a bit of a shy guy when I first meet people. New humans—especially the ones wearing hats (seriously, what are those things?)—can make me a little unsure, so I might bark to let you know I’m thinking about things. I just need a little time, patience, and kindness to warm up. Once I do? I’m loyal, loving, goofy, and yours forever.I’m known to use my voice… uh… often. With people, with animals, with suspicious objects that definitely moved when I wasn’t looking. But that’s just because I’m still learning how to feel confident in the world. With good socialization and someone who understands nervous pups like me, I believe I can shine, with your help. What I don’t love? Loud, unpredictable, chaotic homes. Tiny, boisterous kiddos are a bit too much for my sensitive heart. I’d much rather live with calm, respectful teens or adults who get that I need structure and predictability.But here’s the good stuff:I’m smart.I’m playful.I’m super food-motivated (snacks = instant life improvement).And once I feel safe, I’m incredibly sweet, wiggly, and affectionate.I’ve also got plenty of energy to burn, so I’m hoping my future human is ready for walks, adventures, training, and fun. Apartment living isn’t for me—I need room, routine, and someone dedicated to helping me be the confident, successful boy I know I can be.If you’re patient, understanding, and ready for a loving companion who just needs a chance, I promise I’ll make it worth your while.Love, Levi

Story

Well hello there, young whippersnapper. Name’s Charlie, and I’ve been around the block a few times—literally and figuratively. I’m a wise ol` yellow lab with a heart full of stories, a back touched by the years, and a spirit that still perks up at the sound of a friendly knock on the door. Life’s been a bit unsettled lately, so I can be anxious at first. But speak kindly, offer a gentle hand, and you’ll find I’m quick to soften. I walk just fine—with a little enthusiastic pulling here and there—and I know my sit and down. As for treats, I’ll only accept Benny’s Bullys. At my age, I’ve earned the right to be particular. When folks come to say hello, I’ll give one dignified bark, then shuffle over with a wiggle to greet them properly. Dogs get me awfully excited—sometimes too excited—so I’ll need patient, understanding canine friends. I came to the shelter through no fault of my own, and now I’m hoping for a quiet home with a yard where an old boy like me can stretch, sniff the breeze, and enjoy the simple things again. If you’re seeking a loyal companion with a gentle spirit and a wise old heart, I’d be honored to spend my sunset years by your side.A generous donator from `Oma`s Foundation` paid for Charlie`s adoption fee so the adopter only has to pay his $30 admin fee!
