Story
Billie / Male / 5 Months / Northern Mix / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: Yes / Location: Stayner 📍 Meet Billie! 🐾 Billie is a super sweet pup from Attawapiskat with a whole lot of love to give. This adorable boy is affectionate and cuddly, with just a touch of shyness that makes him even more charming. Snuggles are his favorite! Billie loves being outside, playing fetch, tossing around his stuffies, and hanging out with the other dogs in his foster home. He’s very food-motivated (a true foodie at heart!) and a smart little guy. He’s the perfect mix of active and chill, calm, gentle, quiet, and good natured, with the occasional puppy zoomies to keep things fun. Billie enjoys being around people and other pets but is also wonderfully independent and happy entertaining himself. He’s doing amazing with crate training and chooses to use his crate on his own throughout the day. Billie is great with people, kids, dogs, and other puppies, and he did wonderfully with cats in his first foster home, even patiently watching them eat out of his bowl while he waited his turn for his own food. Car rides? No problem! Billie either naps on longer trips or calmly looks around on shorter ones. Billie is truly a special boy and is patiently waiting for his perfect forever home. 💙 Apply to adopt Billie! https://forms.gle/Q2r2kvpgMCFUtNaF8

Story
Bambi / Spayed Female / 1.5 years / 55lbs / Shepherd Mix / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Untested / Kids: Yes / Location: New Hamburg Meet Bambi! Bambi came to us from Attawapiskat during our large November transport. This sweet girl had a rough start to life and needed some extra time to decompress. In Atta, she was being chased and fought over by males for breeding, so we brought her south as soon as possible to have her spayed and safe. She’s fully recovered now and absolutely thriving Bambi loves the outdoors, especially playing in the snow! She enjoys running around and playing with her foster siblings, then settling in close to her people. She’s a very affectionate girl who just wants to be near you, whether that’s lounging on the couch while you work or relaxing during TV time. If you’re nearby, she’s happy. She’s an active pup who loves her daily walks (and prefers to do her business on them!), so an active family is a must. Bonus: she also enjoys car rides Bambi is a gentle, sweet soul who is eager to please. She’s house trained, lets you know when she needs outside, and has no interest in making messes indoors. She’s just learning how to play with her foster dog and is discovering the joy of a good game of “chase me if you dare!” Bambi truly is an amazing girl and deserves an equally amazing home to match. Could that be you? Apply to Adopt! https://forms.gle/FoFUgdtFm5yrDDux5

**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 currently weighs 11lb (and growing) and she is a super unique German Shepherd/Boston terrier mix. She is mostly black with tan coloured legs and a white blaze on her chest. Natalie is a compact and solid little girl. Her fur is short and smooth. She is built more like the Boston terrier than Shepherd. 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 very young puppy she has not had any of the negative influences often seen in puppy mill dogs so she acts like a typical 10 week 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. 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. Any dogs in the home need to be puppy friendly and happy to engage with a joyful, busy spitfire of a sister. 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 has started going up stairs but not down stairs, however she will pick this up quickly as she gets older. Natalie will bark when she is playing but is not a barker for no reason. She has not mastered leash skills yet but this is something we are working on with her. As she grows 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. She loves to wrestle with a stuffed dog that is as big as she is right now. She also loves to play fetch with her tennis ball. 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. Natalie is energetic and very playful and has the Boston Terrier energy and enthusiasm for all things fun. To date Natalie has had her nails trimmed and handled it without fuss. Overall Natalie’s grooming needs will be minimal. Natalie is progressing with her house training but it is a work in progress. 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. 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 our quietly play with her toys. Natalie sleeps in her crate at night and right now she usually needs out about once during the night. Although she has had the odd night where she will sleep for about 7.5 to 8 hours. We take her out and she quickly does her business and then back to bed. She is quiet in her crate at night and only whines when she needs to go out. Natalie rides in her crate when travelling in the car and she is quiet in her crate and falls asleep for the trip. She shows no signs of car sickness. Natalie has had several car rides of about 1 hour each. Natalie currently lives with three other dogs who are all smaller breed 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. So as long as the cats are dog savvy and have a place to escape to, she could live with a 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. Another energetic, playful, well mannered brother would be great for Natalie to mentor off of. 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 10). 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. At this time she can only be left for a couple hours max during the day so anyone interested in her needs to have a schedule that suits a young puppy. Puppies are a lot of work and require dedication and time. Any family considering adopting Natalie needs to make sure she attends puppy socialization class immediately upon adoption, along with, at minimum, level one obedience classes. Natalie is a very bright puppy and has already learned the sit command. She is working on down, come and out (command to drop what she has in her mouth). 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. She has also been tested and treated for worms and been micro chipped. Her future family will be responsible for the continuation of her vaccines and health care. Natalie will need to be returned to PDR’s vet for spaying when she reaches six months of age. This will be mandatory, so any potential adopters need to live within about an hour of Cambridge to make this feasible. She will be adopted out on a contract that mandates her return for spay. 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.

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. 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: Potentially, I have lived with dogs before but I can be very selective and often don`t make a good first impression. If you have questions or would like more information about how I am with other dogs before applying, please email adoptions@guelphhumane.caCATS: 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!
