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.

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 1wks

Story
Bella is a 2.5+year old female long haired German Shepherd. Bella was a surrender when her family could no longer take care off her. She is very sweet but often excited and jumpy to see people she knows and loves. Bella is best suited in a quiet home, with children 16+ and a home with a fenced yard to give her space to explore. Bella is quiet, clean and calm in her kennel. Bella has met some dogs and she is great friends with Ollie our Bullmastiff. She seems to do well with male dogs. She barks at the cats so no cats as well. Bella will do well in a home who understands German Shepherd dogs and with some basic training this girl will make an excellent companion. Bella is vaccinated, microchipped and is will be spayed prior to adoption. If interested, please send us an application https://form.jotform.com/201994848495070 or email- havenoftheheart1@gmail.com

Story
Jack has won the hearts of our staff with his loving, warm personality. He greets us with affectionate hugs every time we enter his room, making him an absolute favorite! Jack is a laid-back guy who enjoys attention but also appreciates having his personal space when needed. He proudly shows off his new tricks and loves to strut his stuff on walks. Jack would make an excellent sidekick for car rides and adventures, always ready for a new experience by your side. Jack requires a calm, adult-only home with no other dogs or cats, as he can be reactive and aggressive towards other animals. While he is loving, he may become uncomfortable if someone invades his space when he is feeling uneasy, and this could lead to a defensive reaction. For this reason, Jack will thrive in an environment where he can have the space and time he needs to relax and feel secure. Jack is highly food motivated and has been clicker-trained, making walks a smooth and enjoyable experience. Jack has been diagnosed with a slowly progressive mobility issue as well as arthritis, he takes daily medication to manage both conditions and attends weekly rehabilitation sessions to help build strength and maintain mobility. To keep him comfortable and prevent muscle soreness, Jack should ideally live in a single-level home, where he doesn’t need to navigate stairs.
