Name: Fathom Breed: GSD x Farm Dog Mix DOB/Sex: Dec 22, 2023/F Known Health Issues: None at this time. Good With: Cats! Dogs! Kids! NO DOG PARKS Hi, I'm Fathom! I'm looking for my forever family. Is that you? 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. And have a secure, fenced area for me to exercise in. 6ft minimum. - Will not trap me by claiming my genetics are "an abused past", and give me the tools I need to grow everyday. - Have a well balanced dog in the home, that would pair well with a soft, shy, but sassy girl. Me: - I am shy, sweet, and like to take things slow. - Once I am comfortable though, I have a spicy side! I can be demanding and vocal for my needs, in a sassy way! - I am a flight risk, and a hard catch. I will NEVER go to a stranger. But I like routine, and minimal pressure, and will go back to my safe place if properly guided. - I love my crate, and the security it provides. I like routine and predictability. - I love to play, and run! I would prefer to go to a home with a canine friend. I take a lot of confidence and direction from their actions. I get along with most everyone, as long as they respect canine body language. - I still get car sick, so Cerenia is my friend. - I have not yet met a cat, but with proper training and guidance, should be fine. 2 of my adopted siblings live with cats! - Kids that respect boundaries, and personal space may be okay. Again, I am very shy, and don't like much physical contact. This is hard for many kids to understand. I seek coexistence. - My foster mom says I am a very special girl, with a warm light. 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.

Name: Rum Breed: GSD x Farm Dog Mix DOB/Sex: Dec 22, 2023/M Known Health Issues: Bilateral Hip Dysplasia. Will be receiving double hip replacement. Covered with adoption. Good With: Cats! Dogs! Kids! NO DOG PARKS Rum is one of 8 puppies born on a farm. He was surrendered with his mom, Bounty (small GSD), at 6 weeks of age. Occasionally there are puppies that steal part of my soul, and Rum is one such puppy. I love everything about him, and will only be placing him if everything feels right. He is sweet, kind, chill, and devoted. He loves to hike, play in the water, and is food motivated. He is a bit of a mommas boy, and is often found laying at my feet. He can be pushy/cocky with other dogs, and possesive of his ball. Proper training and pack integration is key for success! Rum, like his siblings, is idiopathically shy. He will always be a dog that can be uncertain in new situations, easily spooked, and needs calm and patient guidance. This does not mean he should be coddled! And in fact proper structured socialization is even more important for dogs that are prone to insecurities. But he is the sweetest boy, and deserves every extra moment spent with him to make sure that he is as happy and comfortable in life as possible. His successful adopter must be willing to bring him in for his neuter, to our vet in Caledon. This is included with his adoption, and will be completed after his hip surgeries. If you think you can convince me, that you are the one for him, please complete an application here: https://form.jotform.com/233466598767073 ________________________________ 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.
