Story
Hello everyone. We are looking to rehome our dog. Henry has been with us for 3 years. We adopted him from Providence he has been a great dog. He’s around 11 years old and is very calm. I don’t believe he can hear anymore. We recently had our second child and Henry is very unaware of his surroundings. So with our 1 year old baby he has ran into her a few times. Which is making it a danger situation in the house. We want him to have a good home no fee and whatever dog food we have with go with him. Thanks!

Story
Cash is 8 years old and in need of a forever home. Looking for a new family with another dog for companionship if possible but not necessary. Previous hound breed experience preferred. Cash is a nose driven, food seeking boy who sleeps all day. When he’s on a scent he will stay on it until satisfied. His need for exercise or attention is low, but left to the mercy of his nose and he will get into trouble.

Story
Bailey is a perfect and playful 6 month old puppy who deserves more time and space then I can give her. She loves running as fast as she can at the park and also snuggling on the couch.This is the most difficult decision I've had to make but I believe her forever home will have a nice yard and a family to grow with and have much more space then an apartment.She is intelligent and learns fast, I wish I had the time and space to dedicate to her that she deserves. Please let me know if you are interested in meeting us, she might look big but snuggles like a baby.

Story
Skylar had a rough past. She was kept in a cage the first two years of her life prior to adopting her at the SPCA. She is a very sweet and loving dog. She never barks and it’s good with cats and kids. Unfortunately we do not believe she is good with other dogs. She does have allergies that require medication for her ears.

Story
Odin is a big cuddle bug that enjoys lounging around most of the day. He loves one on one time with snuggles, and chasing his favourite toys around the house. Odin is very dog reactive and will thrive best in a single pet, adult only home. After years of managing two dogs that have to be completely separated, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for me to provide Odin with the fulfilling life he deserves. I hope to find the perfect fit for Odin to finally live his best life.

Story
Daphne is a playful, opinionated, 6 year old Blue Heeler. She's all smiles and play, spry, clever, and is excited to be with her most loved persons. She gets into mischief and is high energy - she needs a home with a lot of stimulation, and a carer with a sense of adventure happy to wear her out. She currently lives in a fenced yard, is crate trained and is housebroken. We are not aware of any health issues, she was examined and vaccinated in June of this year. We are looking to surrender Daphne because Daphne's prey drive is incompatible with living with our cat. We have attempted a slow introduction, and chase and capture became the natural outcome. We understand this is a trait related to her breed, and regrettably it's not sustainable for us to keep her. Daphne was also my mother and father's dog, and both passed in a three-year period, which is understandably a lot for Daphne's short life. She is beloved, and we want to honor the wishes of our parents in ensuring her happiness.
