Story
Milo arrived with us at the shelter November 9th, 2023- as an unruly pup 10 months old. The family did not have the time for him, and unfortunately it shows. He had no prior training in manners, or boundaries and can be a lot when over stimulated. Milo did very well in the shelter environment, getting the structure and routine from the staff and volunteers. There were no red flags. Milo got adopted out Dec 11th brought back to the shelter Dec 16th because of over stimulate redirection. It sounds scary but this can be managed with proper outlets and a good dog trainer. He is incredibly smart and needs proper stimulation/ mental and physical stimulation. He needs a "Nothing in life is free kind of concept in any situation. Meaning he needs to work for what he wants to get; he cannot just have it. So, for example: sitting before going through doors, crossing roads, getting food. Just getting him to do tricks or commands for any task helps get him stimulated in a positive way. Some other Great outlets that work WELL for him are: PLAYING BALL: This benefits him by being interactive with him in a positive way. This teaches and keeps him interested at the same time learning to work with you. FIND IT GAMES: Hiding treats in a room or outside in a fenced area and just letting him use nose to find things, giving him positive feedback. Doing this daily would benefit him as positive stimulation for him. SNUFFLE MATTS are more ideas for "find it games." Find it games helps to focus his energy so that you can encourage, and reward positive behavior. KONGS and DOG PUZZELS, more ideas for excellent "find it" games. These are what he enjoys doing in his down time or in his crate. LOOK AT ME: To do this, do not say his name or make a noise, just wait him out. When you see Milo's eyes look at your face for even a quarter second, say your marker "yes!!" or use clicker. Give him a treat, move a couple of feet away and repeat. Doing this daily will benefit him in simple training ENRICHMENT: This is very important for any dog and be creative!! This is a good way to make milo want to take you seriously and work with you- it helps to get over that adjustment "bump" of Milo getting into a new environment and become overstimulated with no outlets to go to. Milo is muzzled trained and learning to be crate trained. Milo is house broken and enjoys cuddles and belly rubs! Milo will not do well in a condo or apartment setting; he will need a house with a fenced area to play. Using these tools, Milo has completely turned around and has become a lovely dog! He will be a project but has so much potential! He has won over the hearts of many staff and volunteers, who just want to see Milo go to an amazing loving home! If you would like to get to know Milo or have any other questions, please contact the shelter info@uppercredit.com or 519.833.2287

Story
Hello! My name is George!I have been staying at the Guelph Humane Society since November 2023. I'm excitedly waiting for my new family to come along and take me home. I am a fun boy who loves training. When I get excited, I can be jumpy. But I'm doing well with training. I know how to sit without even being asked! And I'm learning lots of other cool tricks. I am pretty good at fetch and I love to go for long walks. I would make a fantastic hiking partner!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: Teenagers could be ok. No small children.OTHER DOGS: Potentially, depending on the dog. I seem to be scared of dogs upon first meeting. Once I warm up, I can be playful but I'm a bit awkward. My GHS friends think I haven't had much experience socializing with other dogs. So it would have to be a very well-socialized and tolerant dog buddy for me.CATS: No, I would likely be too much for a cat.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I'm looking for someone that has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended, unless you live on a country property.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily, however I may not be the best match for a home where I will be alone a full work day.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-high.I'M ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET: No.HOUSE-TRAINED: Almost!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the "adopt me" button to apply!

Story
Hello, my name is Valentina!I'm a ball-dog - I love chasing and fetching balls. It's my favorite hobby, followed by pets from my people. I was a stray, so my GHS friends don't know anything about my history. I don't enjoy handling such as nail trims or vet exams. I am looking for a home that will work with me to help that be a more comfortable experience. MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES...CHILDREN: No young children. Teenagers should be ok.OTHER DOGS: Potentially, a dog of a herding breed might be a good match. I don't seem to be super interested in playing with other dogs.CATS: Potentially, with a cat confident around dogs and who has lived with dogs before. FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has dog experience. FENCED-IN YARD: Highly recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any, ideally with a yard, however I may not be ideal for apartment life given I do like to bark. SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarilySOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME...ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium-high.I'M ON A PRESCRIPTION DIET: No.HOUSE-TRAINED: So far so good!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the "adopt me" button to apply!
