Bridgette

Labrador Retriever

Story
Bridgette is a 3-year-old, medium-sized mixed breed (possibly a Lab cross) with a sweet soul and an easygoing nature. She came to the shelter as an unclaimed stray, but it’s clear she’s ready to leave her past behind and start a new chapter with a loving family. This lovely girl is well-mannered in her kennel, truly enjoys human company, and greets everyone she meets with enthusiasm and affection. Bridgette has also enjoyed a playful romp with a male dog and may do well in a home with another friendly canine companion. Overall, she seems to be a fairly even-keeled, well-tempered dog who could fit nicely into many different home environments. Because her history is largely unknown, especially around young children, a home with older kids or adults may be the best match for her. Bridgette appears to have had a litter in the past, and now it’s her turn to be doted on and cared for. Bridgette would benefit from obedience classes to help her build new skills and polish her manners. She’s very food-motivated, making positive reinforcement training a great and fun way for her to learn. She would love daily neighborhood walks or weekend hikes—especially fitting, since she was found near the beautiful Albion Falls! If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate, and adaptable companion, Bridgette might just be your perfect match. She’s patiently waiting to find a forever family to share her happy, balanced spirit with for the rest of her life. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Bridgette has an appointment to be spayed on January 8th. She will be ready for her forever home after she has recovered from this surgery. Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Story
🖤ADOPT PANDORA🖤 F | 6Y | 23 KG | Mixed breed | Spayed | UTD on shots | Housebroken | Crate Trained | Good with dogs | Cat tested | Not kid tested | Fostered in London A gift from the Gods themselves. The jewel that lights up every room she is in. Our Pandora will open your world up with newfound joy, adventure and tons of cuddles! You know what they say, girls just wanna have fun and Pandora is no exception! So take her on walks or show her some cool tricks, she is here for a good time! She may seem a little reserved when you first meet her, but after some time, she can come out of her shell and make new furry and human friends! Her sweet curiousity leads her to want to make doggie friends, and with the right support and introductions, she can develop great canine companions. With new humans, Pandora would love it if you introduced her to your friends so she can warm up to them and make them her friends too! Noises can be a bit scary for Pandora, so it is something to be mindful of as you guys work together to help her adjust to her new life. She is also a flight risk within the first couple of weeks, meaning even in a fully enclosed yard and in the house - it's important to keep that leash on until she's fully decompressed and settled in. As with any dog, Pandora would greatly benefit from proper structure, boundary setting, and lots of love and patience. She is an absolute gem and is looking for the right family to help her sparkle to the max!

Story
AGE: 5 Years SEX: Female BREED: Lab Mix ENERGY LEVEL: Medium DOG FRIENDLY?: Maybe - slow intros CAT FRIENDLY?: Untested KID FRIENDLY?: Yep! Meet Marlene! This sweet, quiet girl is a gentle soul who truly blossoms with kindness and care. She’s smart and already knows a few tricks, and she enjoys learning - especially when tasty rewards like cheese (her favourite!), dried liver, or dried beef are involved. Marlene loves being snuggled, giving kisses, and soaking up ear scratches, and she’ll happily seek out pets and affection from her people. She gets excited for her walks and enjoys taking her time sniffing and observing everything around her. She walks very well on leash and is a joy to explore with. Marlene is house trained and crate trained, doing wonderfully in her crate and often choosing to go in on her own to nap. She’s very quiet indoors and enjoys spending time in the backyard, where she can relax and play at her own pace. She’s friendly when meeting new people and has met a few kids, all of whom she’s liked. She does tend to warm up more quickly to women and can be a bit slower with men, but given time, she builds trust and shows her loving nature. Watching her adapt to new environments and meet new people is incredibly rewarding. On walks, Marlene does have a prey drive toward small animals and can be nervous around traffic and loud sounds, so she would do best in a quieter, suburban environment. She currently lives with another dog, though they don’t yet share space as she’s taking her time adjusting to a new canine companion. She’s said hello nicely to another dog in the neighbourhood and watches dogs with interest on walks, but she isn’t a fan of dogs running at her or getting in her face. With slow, thoughtful introductions, she could live with another dog, though she would also be perfectly happy as a solo pup. Marlene would thrive in a loving home that can help build her confidence and allow her to truly blossom. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion with a heart full of love, Marlene may be the perfect match. Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Marlene?

Story
Pongo / Neutered Male / 6 Months / Lab mix? / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: 13+ / Location: East Garafraxa Meet Pongo (again!) This handsome boy was adopted earlier this year but sadly returned just a month later. Pongo is a truly special pup who needs an equally special home to match. At just 6 months old and 45 lbs, Pongo is full of energy, smarts, and heart. While we were told he might be a Border Collie/Lab mix, we aren’t entirely sure, what we do know is that he won’t get too much bigger and that he’s 100% adorable. Pongo can be nervous in new situations or around unfamiliar people, but he’s been working so hard to overcome this. He even spent several weeks with our friends at stylek9dogtraining, where he learned amazing skills that will set him up for success. His future family will continue his journey with a few follow up classes, already covered in his adoption fee, because consistency is key for this sensitive boy. What makes Pongo amazing: Walks beautifully on leash, calmly and politely (even sitting at stops!) Crate trained & fully housebroken Snuggle king who always wants to be near his people Playful, smart, and food motivated, he learns fast! Loves doggy friends, is good with cats, and would thrive with or without another dog in the home Because of his nervous nature, Pongo would do best with older, dog savvy kids. A yard to run, play, and chase squirrels would be a dream for him. To help him settle in, Pongo will even come with his special “place bed” included in his adoption fee, we want to give him every chance to succeed. Pongo is sweet, loving, and so ready for a family who will understand his past and nurture his bright future. Could that be you? https://forms.gle/gMSrMCVFqQ3fb5gN8

Cash | 7 mos | Male | 47 lbs | Lab Mix | Good with Dogs, Cats & Kids | Neutered | Medium Energy | Cratetrained - Yes | house and leash - in progress | Microchipped Meet Cash❣️ Cash is a sweet, lovable 7 month old Lab mix with a gentle heart and a bright future ahead. He’s already showing what an amazing companion he’ll be as he continues to grow and gain confidence in a safe, loving environment. Cash can be a little shy when he’s first getting used to new situations, but it doesn’t take long for his affectionate, friendly personality to shine through. Once comfortable, he enjoys being close to his people, relaxing on soft beds, and soaking up attention. He does wonderfully with other dogs, cats, and kids, making him a great fit for many types of families. True to his Lab mix roots, Cash is people-oriented, eager to bond, and enjoys both playtime and downtime. He has a medium energy level and will thrive with regular walks, play sessions, and mental enrichment. Cash is crate trained and continuing to learn house training and leash skills. He’s a smart boy who responds well to gentle guidance, routine, and positive reinforcement, and he’ll do best with an adopter committed to helping him continue learning and building confidence. Cash will need a home with a yard where he can safely explore and play. He’s not suited for apartment living and will do best in a home ready for the joys and responsibilities of raising a growing puppy. If you’re looking for a loving, gentle puppy who will reward your time and patience with loyalty and affection, Cash is ready to meet you. Please complete the application.
