Story
Hello! My name is Lochlan!I`m a sweet and affectionate dude. I can be a bit nervous at first and I can be skittish of loud noises or chaotic environments. But I do love to snuggle up on a cozy spot with my human and relax. I love to swim, so if you are looking for a cottage or camping dog for the summer, I`m your guy! I`m also an avid fetch player, so I would love to live with humans who wouldn`t mind throwing a ball for me.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers should be fine. No young kiddos given I can be skittish.OTHER DOGS: Potentially. Me and the dog in my previous home would sometimes get into arguments about valued resources. I otherwise do well and like to play with other dogs. So if there is a dog in my future home, it would need to be a dog who isn`t also sensitive about sharing things.CATS: Potentially, with a cat experienced living with big dogs and who won’t run from me.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: Potentially, if you have some dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Not necessarily.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium. HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes, but expect some accidents in the beginning.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Story
Hello! My name is Essen!I`ve been waiting for my family to come along since February 2025. My New Year wish is that my new family will adopt me before I reach 365 days at GHS! 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!A special thank you to my friends at Royal Canin: they`re generously providing my new adopters with one month of my food for free!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!

Story
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.

Story
Name: Breed: Age: Gender: Weight: Good with cats or Small Animals: Good with dogs: Good with Young Children: Good with Older Children: Fenced Yard Required: Crate-Trained: House Trained: Name: Winston Breed: Shepherd/Husky Age: 8 Months DOB: 06/03/2025 Gender: Male (N) Weight: 24 kgs Good with Cats: Unknown Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Children: Older Children Fenced Yard Required: Preferred Crate-Trained: Yes but will cry House Trained: Yes Location: London, Ontario Adoption Fee: $950.00 This affectionate pup is in search of a Forever home! Winston, an 8-month-old All-Canadian mixed breed, is believed to be a mix of Shepherd and Husky. Winston's endearing nature makes him incredibly difficult to resist. He exhibits a fondness for other dogs and would benefit from having a playmate in his new home. As a young dog, he enjoys outdoor activities and playtime with his canine companions. It is not uncommon to find him napping alongside other dogs after an active session of play. According to his foster caregiver, Winston displays characteristics of a "Velcro Dog," as he prefers to remain close to his human. Whether he is lying next to her while she works or simply watching television in the evening, Winston consistently seeks companionship. A household where someone is frequently present would be ideal for his overall well-being. Winston has a love food and displays excitement during feeding times. Due to the presence of other dogs in the foster environment, he is usually fed in his crate to teach him  good doggie manners for feeding time. He demonstrates good manners when receiving treats, patiently sitting and waiting for his turn. His toys should be the "indestructible" type, as he has a tendency to dismantle them into smaller pieces, occasionally consuming these fragments. Winston has been vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He has also received monthly preventatives. Winston's adoption fee is $950.00, which includes health records and microchip registration.

Story
Hey there I`m Epik, otherwise known Mr. Handsome and yes I am as friendly as I look! I`m not just friendly, I am also athletic and strong. For the big boy that I am I can jump pretty high and I weigh about 91 lbs. I could use some lessons in leash training and I am better off as the only pet in the house right now. Someone with shepherd experience would be best for me.I love to be loved and I am also a giver of love, affectionate is my middle name. If I sound like your kind of pup come down to London Animal Care Centre and meet me, maybe we can even go for a walk together.See you soon,Epik.
