German Shepherd Dog puppies and dogs in Simcoe, Ontario

-

-

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.

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Natalie! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. Isn’t she just adorable? This is Natalie, she was born Sept 19, 2025 and weighs 24lbs (and growing) She is a super unique mix of German Shepherd/Boston terrier. She is mostly black with tan coloured legs and a white blaze on her chest and gorgeous upright ears. Natalie is a compact and solid little girl. Her fur is short, smooth and shiny. We expect she will be about 40lbs, a mid-sized dog, when grown. She is a very lively, happy and active puppy. Natalie was part of a litter of puppies discarded by a puppy mill as unsold. Since Natalie is a young puppy she has not had any of the negative influences often seen in puppy mill dogs. So she acts like a typical 4 months old puppy. She is full of beans and likes to annoy her foster brothers who for the most part tolerate her antics. They will however put her in her place if she gets too crazy. This however rarely stops her completely and a couple minutes later she is back at it. She has more of a Boston Terrier temperament…fun, active, focused and determined. For this reason it is important that her new family has experience with dogs and knows how to work with them to redirect unwanted behaviours. Natalie would not be suitable for first time dog owners. Natalie will need a home with access to a yard since she will grow into an active medium sized dog, who needs room to run and play. Natalie goes up and down stairs like a champ. Natalie can be a vocal dog especially when playing or in situations where she is unsure. We are working on her leash skills and she is improving daily. Natalie will require at least two good walks daily of 45 minutes or three 30 minute walks or a walk and some vigorous backyard play. She will grow into an active adult dog that will need to be challenged both mentally and physically in order to become and remain a well-rounded dog. Natalie is very affectionate and will give little kisses. Her tail is always wagging and she is a mischievous little girl. She will make you laugh with her antics. Natalie loves all her toys and will play with stuffed toys while supervised because she will rip them apart given the chance. She also loves to play fetch with her ball or a Kong. She is already learning to retrieve it and return it to you. We are teaching her to drop it once she has brought it back. To date Natalie has had her nails trimmed and handled it with minimal fuss. Overall Natalie’s grooming needs will be minimal. Natalie is basically house trained and has not had an accident for a while. She will signal when she needs out by going to the back door and staring at the door knob. Natalie is crate trained so that when you cannot supervise her 100% she is in her crate to keep her out of mischief and not allow her to have accidents in the home or get into things she shouldn’t. Natalie eats all her meals in her crate. When she is put in her crate she may fuss for a couple minutes but will then settle and go to sleep or quietly play with her toys. Natalie sleeps in her crate at night and does not need to go out during the night. She is quiet in her crate at night and only whines when she needs to go out in the morning. She generally sleeps about 8.5 hours. Natalie rides seat-belted in the back seat when travelling in the car and she is quiet and falls asleep for the trip. She shows no signs of car sickness. Natalie has had numerous car rides of about 1 hour each. Natalie currently lives with three other dogs who are all smaller breed neutered male dogs, two dog-savvy cats and a couple parrots. She has shown no interest in the parrots. She likes to run at the cats and try and play with them albeit being a bit rough at times. She could live with a dog savvy cat. She would just need further training on proper behaviour with a cat. I am sure Natalie could live with a neutered male dog but it would need to be tolerant of puppy antics and of similar size to what she will grow into. A dog that loves to run, wrestle and play would be a great companion for her. She could be the only dog in the home as well, as long as her people are active, busy, outdoorsy types who have the time to devote to a puppy. Puppies are a wonderful addition to any family but they are a big commitment and will need considerable work to develop them into the well balanced adult they deserve to be. Natalie would be fine with older children (over 12). Natalie is a bit jumpy and is at the nippy stage in her development. This would be too much for young children. Older children could help with Natalie’s training and help her burn off excess energy, which would be good for helping to forge a bond. Natalie would also be fine with an active couple looking to spend time doing activities with Natalie. As Natalie is a puppy she will need to go to a home where someone is home during the day or is able to come home throughout the day to let her out and take her for a little walk and play. Natalie would not be able to hold it for an 8 hour work day. Puppies are a lot of work and require dedication and time. Natalie is currently attending level 1 training class with her foster family to help with her socialization and learning of basic skills. Her forever family will need to continue with her training. Natalie is a very bright puppy and has already learned the sit and down command. She is working on come and out (command to drop what she has in her mouth) as well as wait and stay. She is picking up very quickly. This makes her an ideal candidate for more advanced training. To date Natalie has had all age appropriate vaccinations and has been spayed. She has also been tested and treated for worms and been micro chipped. She is a very healthy puppy with no health issues. Are you ready to add this wonderful little girl to your family? Do you have the time and energy to help Natalie achieve her full potential? If so you will be rewarded with a wonderful canine companion who will give you years of love, enjoyment and memories. Natalie has such a bright personality and sharp mind that you can’t help but fall in love with her.

You: - Have a quite, calm home environment. - Enjoy working with shy dogs, and have the patience to build a relationship over many months. - Love the outdoors and adventuring! - Enjoy a dog that wants to be with you always, but respect they don't necessarily want physically restrictive embracing/hugs. - Enjoy building up a dog, and bringing out their inner spark. - live more rurally/in a quiet neighborhood.

I shine the brightest when my needs are respected. She hopes I will find someone willing to continue to give me a safe space in which to grow.
