Hello! My name is Essen!I`ve been waiting for my family to come along since February 2025. Can you believe I`ve been in the care of GHS for over 365 days?! Me neither! 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 do prefer humans over dogs though, 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!A special thank you to my friends at Royal Canin: they`re generously providing my new adopters with one month of my food for free!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Hi, my name is Fancy,I came here well dressed in my black ticked fur and rust red colours! The creator of this look is from `all natural with intention.` This is how I present myself in a nonverbal form of communication to stand out from the rest! As Fancy as I may be, deep down, I am a rough and tumble kind of girl. I will playfully challenge you into my games and test your patience, your reflexes, and your ability to say no to my puppy dog eyes. When play time is over, I am all about cozy naps and quality time with my humans! My ideal home involves...Children: No Other dogs: I get along with other dogs, but I prefer to be the only the dog.Cats: I will chase cats First time dog owners: Experienced dog people are preferredHousing environment: A house with a yard would be nice but not necessarySomeone home most of the day: She does well on her own for a normal workdaySome other things to know about me...Activity level: Medium- high House trained: YesBirth date: 07.22.21

Story
Hi my name is Sky, I am a gentle, tender-hearted girl with a soft spirit and an even softer gaze. Though I can be a bit timid at first, beneath that shy exterior is an incredibly sweet and loving girl just waiting to blossom. I am very friendly and I truly enjoy being around people—I just need a little time and reassurance to let my confidence shine.With patience, positive reinforcement, and some confidence-building training, I will grow into an amazing secure and happy dog.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate pup with a heart of gold, I may be your perfect match. **I would be a foster to adopt because I still need to get spayed** My ideal home involves: Children: No small children ( not aggressive, just shy) Other dogs: Yes, but would be best in a home as an only dog.Cat: Yes slow introductionsFirst time dog owners: Having experienced with dogs would benefit me Fenced in yard: Yes Housing environment: I would thrive in a calm, supportive home that can help me continue to come out of my shell.Some one home most of the day: A normal work day would be fine. Some other things to know about me: Activity level: medium House trained: YesBirth date: 07/27/23

Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Onyx was gifted to me in my last relationship, he was 8 weeks old. He is now 2 years old. He’s a very sweet and loving pup, loves to play and spend time with my family. He is naturally very protective being a German shepherd. He loves going on hikes and use to love the dog park as well, but I feel he has developed some anxiety since my work schedule has intensified, we haven’t been able to go out as much. My family looks after him when I travel for work. I will be relocating to BC, and my family cannot take him in full time. It’s with a heavy heart that I have no other choice but to rehome my dear pup. He deserves more consistent attention and time. Looking for the right match for Onyx.
