Name: Fathom Breed: GSD x Farm Dog Mix DOB/Sex: Dec 22, 2023/FS Known Health Issues: Fathom had her hips xrayed at her spay Nov 2025. She needs a double hip replacement. THIS IS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH HER ADOPTION. Good With: Cats! Dogs! Kids! Fathom needs another dog in the home as she thrives with a well matched canine companion 😊 NO DOG PARKS. Fathom is a very sweet, active young girl, who is eager to find her forever family! Fathom loves the outdoors; hiking, running, and playing in the water! She is happy to go out in all weather, and thrives with regular outdoor adventures. Fathom and her siblings are slower to mature, and soft in temperament. They take time to form bonds, and trust. But once comfortable, they truly shine! Though she has just turned 2, she is much more 8 monthish in mental maturity. She has recently been discovering herself, and is enjoying a new level of confidence. Her drive is starting to come out, and she would benefit from a home that would continue to give her confidence building opportunities. She is full of potential, and with the right guidance, will be a very fun activity dog! At her recent spay, we did a routine hip xray. Unfortunately her hips aren't very good, and a bilateral hip replacement will be her best option to live a long, pain-free life. She is currently very comfortable, so my hope is that we can get her settled into her forever home, before starting her first surgery. This way she has a chance to adjust, build bonds, and be very comfortable with her new family. Otherwise this could potentially significantly delay her finding a family, as it would not be fair to her to move during recovery and rehab. As she is very comfortable at this time, there is no urgency in that sense. But a younger dog has an easier time healing and recovering than an older dog, so the benefit of doing the surgery now would allow her to move forward pain free and with the smoothest recovery. The rescue will 100% be there to support you during the process, and both hip surgeries are completely covered with her adoption. The surgeries will be performed by our wonderful orthopedic surgeon, Dr. John, at Caledon Mountain Veterinary Hospital. Fathom is a dog that very much enjoys the company of other dogs in a safe and structured environment. It helps her open up and feel a lot more comfortable, to the point where she requires another dog in the home to be considered for adoption. She does well with all ages, breeds, and both sexes. Although I always recommend not placing with the same sex close in age. As she is slow to mature, there's always a chance she develops a little less tolerance down the road, but so far she has been very social with proper boundaries and structure in place. Fathom is available to go to a home with children. As she is a soft dog, a calm home, with a lot of rules and boundaries in place is key. A loud, rambunctious home, would not be suitable for her. This is especially important for her upcoming recovery, post surgery. Fathom has the strongest prey-drive of her siblings. With her personality, she very much can still live with cats as long as the appropriate training is put in place. However if the appropriate training is not put in place, she absolutely will want to chase and that prey-drive will kick in. Please do not apply if you're not willing to actually put the training in. This is not a one and done situation. She has genetic instinct that will need to be properly managed. Fathom loves her toys, and is often found with a ball in her mouth! She takes great satisfaction in stuffy destruction, and loves a good nylabone chew. She is very goofy, playful, and makes me laugh all the time! Fathom has been a true joy, and is honestly the absolute sweetest girl. She bonds very hard, and very much wants your approval. The bond of a softer dog is like no other. You are their light, their world, and their everything. If you are ready to be her guiding light, enjoy regular training activities, and will give her continued life skills in order to succeed, build confidence, and enjoy the world, then please reach out. She deserves only the best! A few words from Adventure Team Member Nic who recently took her for a foster vacation: "Fathom is such a sweet girl! I got to hang with her for about two weeks and she was a wonderful houseguest. She started off timid, but every day there was substantial progress. While I wouldn’t let her off leash, we grew quite comfortable with each other over the 2 weeks and she would happily seek attention from me. She’s also a very clean girl- not a single accident! She also loves her crate, it’s her safe space. She is very well crate trained! She truly shines in the presence of other dogs. She loved playing with my dogs and other dogs at my work. She plays well, can take a correction, and is generally very submissive. She would do super well with any pup that wants to play! She’s also very respectful of boundaries, and didn’t bother my senior small breed dog. She was very happy to be wherever we are. She’s neutral in public and enjoyed our long trail walks! She’d love an active family, with a fur sibling to play with, and a comfy bed to lay on :) " If Fathom might be the one missing from your life, please apply here: https://form.jotform.com/233466598767073 **All Adopters are required to attend formal obedience classes upon adoption.** **All Adopters are required to obtain, and maintain pet insurance for their newly adopted companion.** ________________________________ Adoption through Inugoya includes: - the dog - All vaccinations & required boosters; DA2PPv, Bordetella, Lyme, Leptospirosis, and Rabies - 4DX Blood Test (Heartworm, Lyme Disease, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis) - Age appropriate wellness blood screen - Fecal test - Deworming & Flea/Tick/Heartworm prevention - Spay/Neuter - Microchip - Hip xray for all dogs that undergo anesthesia - All medical needs assessed and concluded.

Name: Clipper Breed: German Shepherd Dog x Farm Dog Mix Sex: Male (Will be neutered by rescue) DOB/Age: Dec 22, 2023 Weight/Height: Known Health Issues: Grade 1 heart murmur. 2 Echos have been performed. No surgery or medication required at this time. Yearly echo's recommended for monitoring, but likely will not cause any issues. Bite History: No. Dogs: Clipper enjoys the company of well-mannered dogs, with proper introductions. He gets picked on easily in certain groups. Cats: With proper training, he should be fine with cats. Kids: Patient kids, with boundaries, are welcome. He is a softer, shy dog, so a loud, rambunctious home would not be a good match. Owner Experience Level: Not for a completely green owner, but suitable for a novice, with training/dog behaviour enthusiasm. Ideal home: Quiet family or single person home, that will enjoy building up a soft dog. Energy Level/Drive: Moderate energy, and low drive. He enjoys toys, and is good at about 2hrs for his hikes. Sports/Activities he'd enjoy: Hiking, swimming, camping, scentwork, backyard games, trick training. He is not a dog looking for a career, but enjoys keeping busy. Swimmer: Learning! Enjoys wading in. All our adoptable dogs are: House trained, Crate Trained, travel well in vehicles, and well started on basic obedience. Please read bio for further individual details. ** NO DOG PARKS ** ________________________________ All Adopters are required to attend post-adoption training. All Adopters are required to obtain, and maintain pet insurance for their newly adopted companion. ________________________________ Clipper is a very handsome, chill, go-with-the-flow boy, who's looking for a family that matches his lifestyle! He's the perfect mix of affectionate, and independent. Always with you, and loves a good cuddle, but not underfoot. He'd rather be with you, than on you, and loves to just hang! Clipper is your typical teenager, figuring out what he loves in life, and where he fits in. He enjoys routine, and structure, and patterning. He is super easy to live with, never an instigator, and likes his personal space. He enjoys the right canine companion, but would be just as happy solo. He tends to get picked on in groups, and would be best with a female canine companion. Most of his adopted siblings live successfully with cats, and with proper training, I see no reason that he wouldn't also. He is a very soft dog, and doesn't enjoy strangers, so a quiet home, with few visitors is best. He's the kind of dog that would prefer to be in his crate, with something tasty if company is over. He will alert bark, but you'll be on your own to defend! Clipper enjoys a decent walk/hike, 1-2hrs on the daily, and loves just existing in nature. He can be a bit more independent off leash, so putting him through an eCollar class (and passing!), or staying in a fenced area is best, once you have built that level of trust in your training journey. He isn't super enthusiastic about training, but with the right motivation, picks up and patterns really quickly. He is a softer, shier dog, so needs patience and repetition to succeed. If you are easily frustrated, and tend to think, "he's just not listening/being stubborn" easily, he will not be a good match for your home. He is very smart, quite intuitive, and will revert back to what he knows if he is unsure. Simple task or trick training, and/or scentwork would be a great way to help build his confidence and your working relationship with him. He is not a dog I would recommend for someone looking to compete with. Clipper would fit in well with an active family, that enjoys living life with a dog. He's not overly demanding, and with proper knowledge of canine body language, a pretty easy guy to read. He will run through the creek, chase a ball, and watch the fireflies with you at days end. He does still struggle a bit with carsickness, but gets better with more exposure/frequent rides. Cerenia works great for that longer drive to the cottage! He is the sweetest boy, and would love a chance to get to know you. ________________________________ Adoption includes: - The dog! - All vaccinations & required boosters; DA2PPv, Bordetella, Lyme, Leptospirosis, and Rabies - 4DX Blood Test (Heartworm, Lyme Disease, Ehrlichia, Anaplasmosis) - Age appropriate wellness blood screen - Fecal test - Deworming & Flea/Tick/Heartworm prevention - Spay/Neuter - Microchip - Hip xray for all dogs that undergo anesthesia - All medical needs assessed and concluded.

Name: Orange Breed: German Shepherd Mix Sex/DOB: FS 10/25/21 Known Health Issues: Bilateral hip dysplasia. Both hips need replacing, and will be completed by Inugoya. Included with adoption. Good With: Confident, male dogs. Cats unlikely to be a good fit, strong prey drive. NO DOG PARKS. NO PERSONS UNDER 18. *Bite history* Will be discussed with approved applicants. Orange is a fun loving girl, who lives for adventure! She is active, athletic, and always down to enjoy an activity. She enjoys hiking, running, and playing in the water! Orange was born at our facility in 2021, and enjoyed a few years with an adoptive family. Unfortunately that family did not put the training in that she needed to succeed, and she was returned summer 2025. She has had the winter "off" to reset, be a dog, and get some manners back on board. She is ready for her summer adventures! Orange is very much a one person type dog. She is also a softer, more insecure dog, and needs clear rules, structure, and boundaries so she doesn't make poor choices. She is NOT a match for homes with a lot of people coming and going, and should be crated when guests, or service persons are on the property. Orange loves to train! She needs someone experienced with Shepherds, that enjoys daily training activities, and building confidence through that bond. She does not need heavy handed, authoritarian, compulsion based training, and works best with balanced, cooperative care. She is not a dog that will be your best friend at first meeting, nor does she want or need to be babied. She's looking for someone that understands the breed, and their true heart, who would enjoy a moderate drive girl. Orange needs both her hips replaced. This will be scheduled for 2026. She is not a dog that will adapt to moving during recovery, so depending on the timing of your application, we will schedule meetings and visits based on her progression. Recovery is typically 8 to 12 weeks, so depending on how the first one goes, whether or not the second one will also be done this year, or if it will be done the following year. Both hip replacements are covered with her adoption. Orange is a very special girl, and I will be taking great care that she ends up with the right match is time. She's a wonderful girl, with a lot of love to give, who absolutely enjoys life! She would do well with another male canine companion in the home, and typically matches best with more confident dogs that tolerate a more rough style of play. She however doesn't tolerate rudeness, or any extremely over the top play. She's extremely selective with female dogs, so it would be unlikely a female dog in the home would be a safe match. I would be hesitant on cats, as she does have very strong prey drive. It could potentially be discussed in the right training environment. No persons under 18 will be considered due to previous bite history. Bite history will not be discussed without an application in hand. If you love a dog that only had eyes for you, enjoy dog training as part of your daily lifestyle, and spend most of your time outdoors, she could be your girl!

Name: Atlas Breed: German Shepherd Dog Sex/DOB: MN 2/22/22 Known Health Issues: None at this time. Good With: Confident, calm dogs, he is a hard dog to match energies with. Patient Teenagers, that can actively participate in his training, may be okay. Dog savvy cats and 110% commitment to training if he is to live with cats. He is very determined/grabby in his play. NO DOG PARKS. Hi, I'm Atlas! I'm looking for my forever home, is that you? You: - Are a very German Shepherd experienced owner, who has worked with working line style GSD's. - Are committed to and enjoy daily training and activities. You live the working dog lifestyle. - Are confident, calm, and patient with your handling skills. No alpha crap wanted, thank you. - Are a single person, or a small family that understands I am a one person dog, and will ensure everyone respects those boundaries. I would like to be put away for visitors, so a home without frequent guests is best. - Understand I am a fearful dog, and will struggle to be comfortable around you at first. You will be willing to meet me many times before I can go home with you. - You love the outdoors, and adventuring! Me: - I will only have eyes for you! I don't want or need other people in my life. - I want to do something with you always! If you work long hours, we won't be a match, but a regular work day is fine. As long as you have the time and energy for me once you get home! A walk around the block is NOT enough. - I want to play, and swim, and hike, and train! I have LOTS of energy. - I enjoy select dogs, but I have a hard time with impulse control and overarousal. I would be fine as an only dog as I really just want my person! - I love to use my mouth, as most GSD's do, but struggle with handler conflict/pressure. I'm working on it! - I am very athletic, and would love a home that would teach me canine sport activities. We don't have to compete, I just want to have fun with you! (I am not a bite sport candidate). - I want to play with everything, and enjoy eliciting squeals, so cats would be hard unless you are REALLY committed to training. I should NEVER be lose/unsupervised around them, or other small animals. - I am goofy, vocal, and get really excited when I see my mom! - Once I trust you, I am excellent for all handling, grooming, nails, the vet etc. - I am great in my crate, and the car! - I am very handsome! - I am very affectionate with my person! - I am pretty good with environmentals, and foster mom can take me everywhere!
