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

Story

About Elsa:Elsa is a young husky mix with bright eyes and a sensitive soul. She hasn’t been with us long, and while we don’t know everything about her past, it’s clear that the big, wide world feels a little overwhelming to her right now. Elsa is a cautious girl who takes time to trust, but once she does, she forms a deep bond and likes to stay close to the person she feels safe with. Underneath the nerves is a sweet, intelligent dog who is still learning that life can be safe and good.Ideal Home:Elsa will need a very patient, understanding home willing to take things slow and help her build confidence at her own pace. At this time, we would recommend a quiet home without children or other pets so she can focus on feeling secure. An adopter who is interested in training and positive confidence-building would be a wonderful fit for her. Elsa can be nervous around men and seems uncomfortable around female dogs, so thoughtful introductions and calm environments are important.Training and Skills:Elsa is still learning about the world and would benefit greatly from continued training to help her grow in confidence. Her crate is currently her safe space where she feels secure and able to relax. With time, patience, and consistency, Elsa has the potential to make incredible progress.Favourites:• Being close to the person she trusts• Quiet environments• Her crate, where she feels safe• Gentle, calm interactionsDislikes:• Loud or overwhelming situations• Fast introductions to new people• Living with other pets at this timeHow to Adopt:If you’re interested in adopting, please visit us at 107 McLaughlin Road, Lindsay, Tuesday to Sunday 11 am–6 pm, contact us by email info@hskl.ca or phone at 705-878-4618. You can also fill out an application by following the link https://hskl.ca/adopt/dog-application.html and we will contact you shortly.Keep in mind some of our dogs are in foster care and an appointment will need to be made for meet and greets.Elsa is the kind of dog who will need someone willing to believe in her before she fully believes in the world. Dogs like her can take time, patience, and compassion—but watching them slowly come out of their shell and learn to trust is one of the most rewarding journeys a person can take with an animal.

Story

Hello, I'm Dylyn, Female - pending spayShepherd x English Springer Spaniel MixApprox. 4 months oldLike many pups, I love to move, explore, and interact with the world around me. I'm a bundle of joy sitting on the higher end of the energy scale. I thrive on structure and having something to focus on, and I'm happiest when I'm engaged and learning.The great news is, I absolutely love training! With clear directions and small tasks to work on, I settle beautifully and show just how smart and capable I am. Training helps me regulate my excitement and provides a positive outlet for all my puppy energy.I do best when I'm not given too much freedom all at once. Large open spaces or unstructured time can be a bit overwhelming for me, so I'll flourish in a home that enjoys guiding a young dog through learning and routines. I'm both crate trained and potty trained, and I'm learning to relax with appropriate outlets like chew toys. Once I've burned off some energy, I'm happy to sit beside you and quietly work on a chew.I get along well with kids and love being around people, though sometimes my excitement comes out as jumping. Since I'm likely to grow into a decent-sized dog, continued work on polite greetings will be important as I mature.I've recently started learning how to settle on an elevated bed, which is helping me develop impulse control and teaching me to pause and think rather than reacting with pure excitement.I would thrive in an active home that enjoys working with dogs, providing structure, training, and healthy outlets for my energy. With the right guidance, I have all the ingredients to grow into an incredible companion. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 11.002 Age: 0yrs 4mths 0wks

Story

Hi! I'm Dr. Robby, the love doctor with a PhD in Cuddles! My journey to the shelter began one night when a patient needed me to stop by their house for a check-up. I followed the directions to their home, but I must have gotten lost, because instead I ended up at the shelter.I've been able to put my PhD to use here, providing love and cuddles to everyone I meet, but I'm hoping to find somewhere more long term to use my skills.I'm a bundle of fun, always ready to explore and make you laugh. Adopting me means endless adventures and cuddles. If you're looking for a loyal friend to add love to your days, I'm your pup!

Story

A large breed dog with a ton of love to give! Bella came to us very untrusting and scared of new people. After some patience and lots of treats, she has learned that new people aren`t so bad! She is a very affectionate and silly dog once she warms up to you. Bella likes to go for long walks, play with sticks, and do tricks for cookies! Her ideal home would be with someone who has experience with dogs and can continue to work on her training/ socialization so she can be the best girl possible. She likes to hangout with her dog friends and could possibly share her new home with a respectful calm dog. Bella has a high prey drive and would not like to share her home with a kitty. Please call the shelter and set up a time to meet with this special girl.
