Story
Hello! My name is Taylor!I`m a loving girl who can be timid meeting new people but since being at GHS I`ve come out of my shell beautifully and seem to be less timid with strangers. I am a petite little thing, not even 60 pounds! My new family should know that I work as a part-time digger and will help with any gardening needs you have or even snow removal when the time comes. I like to dig holes for my toys and then cover them up by shoveling dirt over it with my nose. I may sometimes bark at dogs on leash if they are too close. But with a bit of space and some positive reinforcement with treats, I have made really nice progress so far! I am a snuggly and affectionate girl and at the end of the day I`m just looking for a loving home that will show me what a good girl I am.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers may be ok but no young children given my timid nature.OTHER DOGS: Yes, with a friendly, playful dog who won`t be off-put by my initial barking.CATS: Potentially, with a cat experienced with and comfortable living with dogs. FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with yard preferred. Rural would also be great!SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium. HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

My Christmas wish is that my new family will adopt me before the end of the year and I can ring in the new year in my new home. 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 prefer humans over dogs 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!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Story
Hello! My name is Kelsey!I`m a kind girl who can be anxious in unfamiliar situations. I can be a bit timid of new people but warm up with time if they have some yummy treats and let me give them a few sniff-overs. Once I warm up, I am affectionate. I do also have a playful side and even though I`m not a young pup, I still like to romp around in the snow and tear up my stuffy toys! I do bark when I see unfamiliar dogs on leash. Gotta make sure you see them too, ya know? I am a smart girl, I respond well to positive training methods and I would love to join a home that will help me feel safe and secure.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: I would do best in an adult-only home given my sensitive nature.OTHER DOGS: I would be most comfy as the only dog in the home.CATS: Potentially, with a cat who has lived with and is confident around dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Recommended.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with yard preferred.

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 but she most definitely wants to be the only dog. 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
Laika Looking for someone who loves walks on the beach, adventure, and is gorgeous and loyal? If yes, swipe left to meet Laika. She is just an adorable 11 week old German Shepherd mix who is a treasure to have around. She currently weighs 15lbs but she will be a big girl at about 80 pounds when full grown. After a rough start in life in northern Manitoba, her challenges continued when she was diagnosed with parvovirus. She's a fighter though and survived after 2 days in ICU. Laika is happy, curious and full of energy. She enjoys playing with her foster brother and sister, her squeaky toys and taking long naps, snacks, loves ice cubes and the snow. She's a smarty pants, quick learner, good with new people and already figured out the sit and stay. She can sit and stay and will wait (for the most part) until the food is placed on the floor. She is great when it comes to sharing her toys and has shown no concerning behaviours when the other dogs are around while she’s eating. A home with an active family or a home with another dog would be great if possible. Laika is a high energy pup who is blossoming after surviving parvo. The foster parents have 2 dogs, and they have been excellent ambassadors to Laika. The foster parents do not have cats. She is crate trained and can be left in there for a few hours at a time. Her housetraining is a work in progress like most pups her age, but she does use pee pads reliably. For riding in the car, she needs a crate or seat belt due to her age as she tries to jump into your lap while driving. She is fed 3x’s per day puppy food December 16, 2025, 9:31 am
