Story
Hello! My name is Taylor!I`m a loving girl who can be timid meeting new people but since being at GHS I`ve come out of my shell beautifully and seem to be less timid with strangers. I am a petite little thing, not even 60 pounds! My new family should know that I work as a part-time digger and will help with any gardening needs you have or even snow removal. I like to dig holes for my toys and then cover them up by shoveling dirt over it with my nose. I may sometimes bark at dogs on leash if they are too close. But with a bit of space and some positive reinforcement with treats, I have made really nice progress so far! I am a snuggly and affectionate girl and at the end of the day I`m just looking for a loving home that will show me what a good girl I am.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers may be ok but no young children given my timid nature.OTHER DOGS: Potentially, I have lived with dogs before but I can be very selective and often don`t make a good first impression. If you have questions or would like more information about how I am with other dogs before applying, please email adoptions@guelphhumane.caCATS: Potentially, with a cat experienced with and comfortable living with dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with yard preferred. Rural would also be great!SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Story
Hello! My name is Essen!I`ve been waiting for my family to come along since February. My Christmas wish is that my new family will adopt me before the end of the year and I can ring in the new year in my new home. I`m a big sweetheart and always start my day with snuggles in bed with foster mom! I`m a very friendly girl and enjoy meeting new humans. I prefer humans over dogs and would be a great family dog for a home with older kids. I am so smart and have learned so many new skills because of my awesome foster mom. I`ve also recently discovered that I am an excellent cottage buddy and love to swim!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Yes, older and mature children!OTHER DOGS: Other dogs cause me stress, so I`m looking to be the only dog.CATS: Since I like to chase little critters, I shouldn`t live with kitties.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best in a home that has dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Homes with yard preferred.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: I do well home alone!SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Story
Billie / Male / 5 Months / Northern Mix / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: Yes / Location: Stayner 📍 Meet Billie! 🐾 Billie is a super sweet pup from Attawapiskat with a whole lot of love to give. This adorable boy is affectionate and cuddly, with just a touch of shyness that makes him even more charming. Snuggles are his favorite! Billie loves being outside, playing fetch, tossing around his stuffies, and hanging out with the other dogs in his foster home. He’s very food-motivated (a true foodie at heart!) and a smart little guy. He’s the perfect mix of active and chill, calm, gentle, quiet, and good natured, with the occasional puppy zoomies to keep things fun. Billie enjoys being around people and other pets but is also wonderfully independent and happy entertaining himself. He’s doing amazing with crate training and chooses to use his crate on his own throughout the day. Billie is great with people, kids, dogs, and other puppies, and he did wonderfully with cats in his first foster home, even patiently watching them eat out of his bowl while he waited his turn for his own food. Car rides? No problem! Billie either naps on longer trips or calmly looks around on shorter ones. Billie is truly a special boy and is patiently waiting for his perfect forever home. 💙 Apply to adopt Billie! https://forms.gle/Q2r2kvpgMCFUtNaF8

Story
Bambi / Spayed Female / 1.5 years / 55lbs / Shepherd Mix / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Untested / Kids: Yes / Location: New Hamburg Meet Bambi! Bambi came to us from Attawapiskat during our large November transport. This sweet girl had a rough start to life and needed some extra time to decompress. In Atta, she was being chased and fought over by males for breeding, so we brought her south as soon as possible to have her spayed and safe. She’s fully recovered now and absolutely thriving Bambi loves the outdoors, especially playing in the snow! She enjoys running around and playing with her foster siblings, then settling in close to her people. She’s a very affectionate girl who just wants to be near you, whether that’s lounging on the couch while you work or relaxing during TV time. If you’re nearby, she’s happy. She’s an active pup who loves her daily walks (and prefers to do her business on them!), so an active family is a must. Bonus: she also enjoys car rides Bambi is a gentle, sweet soul who is eager to please. She’s house trained, lets you know when she needs outside, and has no interest in making messes indoors. She’s just learning how to play with her foster dog and is discovering the joy of a good game of “chase me if you dare!” Bambi truly is an amazing girl and deserves an equally amazing home to match.

Story
Laika Looking for someone who loves walks on the beach, adventure, and is gorgeous and loyal? If yes, swipe left to meet Laika. She is just an adorable 11 week old German Shepherd mix who is a treasure to have around. She currently weighs 15lbs but she will be a big girl at about 80 pounds when full grown. After a rough start in life in northern Manitoba, her challenges continued when she was diagnosed with parvovirus. She's a fighter though and survived after 2 days in ICU. Laika is happy, curious and full of energy. She enjoys playing with her foster brother and sister, her squeaky toys and taking long naps, snacks, loves ice cubes and the snow. She's a smarty pants, quick learner, good with new people and already figured out the sit and stay. She can sit and stay and will wait (for the most part) until the food is placed on the floor. She is great when it comes to sharing her toys and has shown no concerning behaviours when the other dogs are around while she’s eating. A home with an active family or a home with another dog would be great if possible. Laika is a high energy pup who is blossoming after surviving parvo. The foster parents have 2 dogs, and they have been excellent ambassadors to Laika. The foster parents do not have cats. She is crate trained and can be left in there for a few hours at a time. Her housetraining is a work in progress like most pups her age, but she does use pee pads reliably. For riding in the car, she needs a crate or seat belt due to her age as she tries to jump into your lap while driving. She is fed 3x’s per day puppy food December 24, 2025, 4:44 pm
