Story
Meet Taffy!🥎🐕‍🦺 This Shepherd mix is as smart as he is handsome. Taffy is a quick learner who loves using his big brain - whether he's practicing new cues, figuring out how to fetch, or proudly carrying around his favorite jolly ball toys. Walks are another highlight of his day, where he shines on leash and enjoys taking in the world around him. Because Taffy is still building his confidence and can show some fear-based reactivity, he's looking for a patient, understanding adopter who can continue his training and help him feel secure. He'd thrive in a home that not only keeps up with regular training but also adds something extra - like scent work, agility, or other fun enrichment activities to challenge his mind and body.Taffy also likes to have his people all to himself, so he's searching for a home where he'll be the only furry friend - and the center of your world. With consistency, love, and a dash of adventure, Taffy is ready to blossom into the loyal, superstar companion of your dreams.If you would like to meet Taffy, he is staying at 91 Patterson Rd in Barrie. Our adoption hours are 11 am - 5 pm, or you can give us a call at (705) 728-7311 ex.6 To fill out an adoption profile in advance, visit https://ontariospca.ca/adopt/adoption-process-and-fees/ . Our dog adoption fee is $585, which includes their spay/neuter, vaccinations, dewormer, microchip, and much more! Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 34.005 Age: 1yrs 10mths 4wks

Story
Vida is a striking, soulful senior German Shepherd who is ready for a fresh start with someone who truly understands her. At approx. 6 years old, she carries herself with the quiet dignity of a dog who has seen a lot of life and is now looking for stability, comfort, and a person she can call her own. She is not a dog who gives her trust instantly, but when she does, it is deep, loyal, and incredibly meaningful. There are so many wonderful things about Vida. She is fully housetrained, crate trained, and has a solid obedience foundation. She knows sit, stay, down, come, and leave it, and she clearly takes pride in working with her person. She travels well in the car and has made noticeable progress since coming into foster care, showing that she is capable of growth when given time and consistency. Like many German Shepherds, she is intelligent, observant, and deeply bonded to the people she trusts. Her foster family has seen that while she may initially gravitate more toward men, she is absolutely capable of forming strong, affectionate bonds with women as well, once she feels safe. Vida is currently on daily medication that will need to be continued by her future family. She received Gabapentin and Onsior to prevent pain/discomfort from her arthritis and she is also on anti-anxiety medication (Fluoxetine). A 30 day supply of all of her medications will be sent with her into an adoptive home and an adopter will need to be vigilant about veterinary care and continuing these prescriptions. Vida prefers having her people to herself and thrives best when she does not have to share space, attention, or resources with other pets, so she would be best suited to a home where she is the only pet. Due to her sensitivities and need for a calm, predictable environment, Vida would do best in an adult-only home without children. She is also naturally protective of her space and can be wary of strangers in her home, which is very true to her breed.The ideal home for Vida is one with an experienced dog owner (ideally someone familiar with German Shepherds) and someone who is comfortable working on reactivity through trust-building, routine, and continued training. A person or couple who values loyalty over instant affection and who finds joy in earning a dogs trust will truly appreciate who Vida is. Vida is not looking for just any home. She is looking for the right one. In return, she offers steady companionship, intelligence, devotion, and the kind of bond that only comes from patience and understanding. For the right person, Vida will be a deeply rewarding companion and a loyal presence. Our adoption fees cover all up to date veterinary needs, including but not limited to: full veterinary examination, age appropriate vaccinations, fecal test and parasite prevention, wellness bloodwork, spay or neuter, and microchip. All dogs will be started on a 6 week trial of pet insurance after adoption. Local adopters can take advantage of 50% off a training course at Ruff Haus in Barrie (www.ruffhaus.ca) and all adopters will also be signed up for Petcademy to offer 30 days of free text-based behavioural support. Please visit our website www.preciouspawsrescue.ca to submit an adoption application.

Story
Meet Sterling: A Loyal Shepherd Mix for an Experienced HomeSterling is a 2-year-old Shepherd mix who is looking for an experienced and patient home. He does not trust people easily at first, but once he forms a bond, he becomes a deeply loyal and devoted companion. Building trust with Sterling takes time, consistency, and respect for his boundaries.Sterling does not enjoy being restrained and would benefit from structured crate training to help him feel safe and secure. He is food motivated, though he can be a bit of a picky eater, which will require some patience during training. On walks, Sterling does fairly well but may pull at times and would benefit from continued leash guidance.Sterling will do best as the only pet in the home, with no other dogs or cats. With the right guidance, routine, and understanding, Sterling has the potential to thrive and become an incredible companion for the right person.Sterling is looking for someone who sees his potential and is willing to put in the time to earn his trust and help him succeed
