Winston, an 8-month-old All-Canadian mixed breed, is believed to be a mix of Shepherd and Husky. Winston's endearing nature makes him incredibly difficult to resist. He exhibits a fondness for other dogs and would benefit from having a playmate in his new home. As a young dog, he enjoys outdoor activities and playtime with his canine companions. It is not uncommon to find him napping alongside other dogs after an active session of play. According to his foster caregiver, Winston displays characteristics of a "Velcro Dog," as he prefers to remain close to his human. Whether he is lying next to her while she works or simply watching television in the evening, Winston consistently seeks companionship. A household where someone is frequently present would be ideal for his overall well-being. Winston has a love food and displays excitement during feeding times. Due to the presence of other dogs in the foster environment, he is usually fed in his crate to teach him  good doggie manners for feeding time. He demonstrates good manners when receiving treats, patiently sitting and waiting for his turn. His toys should be the "indestructible" type, as he has a tendency to dismantle them into smaller pieces, occasionally consuming these fragments. Winston has been vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He has also received monthly preventatives. Winston's adoption fee is $950.00, which includes health records and microchip registration.

Story
Nora Fostered in London, On Vaccinated, Spayed & Microchipped Adoption Fee: $700 Good with dogs & older kids Not cat tested German Shepherd Nora is an 11-month-old sweetheart with a gentle soul and a story that makes her extra special. She came to us having only ever lived outdoors and is missing the tips of her ears (likely from frostbite), but she hasn’t let that stop her from learning what it means to be a loved, indoor pup. At first, Nora can be very shy and fearful of new people and situations. But once she feels safe and learns to trust you, her true personality shines —she’s affectionate, loyal, and full of adorable quirks. She has made amazing progress in foster care! She quickly learned how to use stairs, loves to play with other dogs, and enjoys her toys (though they don’t always survive long). She is crate trained and about 95% house trained, and will let you know if she needs out. She also sleeps well through the night. Nora walks nicely on leash most of the time but can still be nervous around strangers and reactive to other dogs, so she’ll need continued guidance and patience. She knows “sit,” is learning “down,” and is getting better with “wait.” She has no resource guarding and is eager to please. Her funniest little quirk? Nora LOVES to tip over her water bowl, carry it around, and make a splash It’s a bit messy—but totally endearing! Nora would do best in a home with a fenced yard and a family willing to continue building her confidence. She may be okay with kids, but calmer interactions are best as she can be a bit mouthy during play. Nora still needs a bit more training, but she is incredibly smart and devoted. She truly bonds with her people—she’ll even check on you if you fall 🥹 If you’re patient and ready to help her continue to grow, Nora will reward you with a lifetime of love, loyalty, and laughs.

Story
Howdy! My name is Lincoln. I am a distinguished young gentleman, well maybe not so gentle. I love to play and I can be a little rough out of excitement. Hey... what can I say. I am basically a puppy. Size wise I`m not too big, almost 50 lbs but still growing. Not bad for an apartment. You might need a vacuum though, currently I seem to be shedding a fair amount these days.Definitely great for training, I am a fast learner and very treat motivated. Not to mention good with other dogs. And when it is all said and done, I love to be loved. Pet me, its great! Do I sound like a dog you would like to meet? Then come here to London Animal Care Centre, we can hang out or take a walk together. It would be nice to see you!Lincoln.

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.

Story
Meet Romy! Romy is a handsome boy with a gentle soul and wonderful manners. He’s the kind of dog who brings a calm, steady presence into a home — easygoing, affectionate, and happiest just being near his people.Romy has some hind-end conformation and mobility challenges, so he’s looking for a family that understands his need for a little extra support and a slower-paced lifestyle. While he may not be up for long hikes, he absolutely loves getting outside to explore at his own pace, taking his time to sniff and enjoy all the interesting smells around him.He still has a playful side too and enjoys a good game of ball, happily engaging in short bursts of fun before settling in to relax. Romy knows how to listen to his body and strikes a lovely balance between activity and rest.With his sweet nature and well-mannered personality, Romy would thrive in a calm, loving home that can offer him comfort, patience, and understanding. In return, he’ll be a loyal, gentle companion who will fill your days with quiet joy and unconditional love.If you’re looking for a kind-hearted, low-key best friend, Romy might just be the perfect match.IN-SHELTER NOTES & IDEAL HOMESIZE:85 lbs.HOME TYPE:House.
