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

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
At just 4 months old, Romeo is a handsome young pup with so much potential waiting to bloom! This sweet boy came to us as an unclaimed stray, and while we don’t know much about his early life, we’re excited to help him find the loving home he deserves. Romeo is currently a fairly neutral, easygoing puppy. He’s quiet in his kennel, enjoys his meals (very much!), and hasn’t shown the typical over-the-top puppy zoomies just yet. We suspect that once he settles into a home environment and has time to decompress, his playful and affectionate personality will truly come to life. Let’s Talk About Food Romeo has a great appetite and is very enthusiastic about food. We’ve seen some early signs of possible food and toy resource insecurity, which is not uncommon for puppies who have experienced uncertainty. The good news? At this young age, these behaviors can absolutely be reshaped with the right guidance and consistency. His new family will need to: Incorporate hand feeding and food-based training games Practice “trade up” exercises (trading low-value items for high-value rewards) Use meals as opportunities for training and patience-building Reinforce that good things happen when people (and other pets) are near his food, toys, and treats These exercises should become part of everyday life—not just feeding time—to help Romeo learn that resources are safe and plentiful. With consistency from day one, we are confident he can grow into a secure and well-mannered companion. Home Life & Training Romeo will need: Potty training Crate training (highly recommended, as he may be tempted to counter or garbage surf) Immediate enrollment in obedience classes to help him build strong manners and confidence He is expected to be a large dog when fully grown, making early training and structure especially important. We believe Romeo may thrive in a home with a confident, well-adjusted dog companion who can help show him the ropes. Due to his strong interest in food, homes with very small children (who may have snacks within reach) may not be the best fit. The Bottom Line Romeo is a young pup with a blank slate and so much promise. With patience, structure, and positive reinforcement, he has all the makings of a loyal, loving, and well-mannered big boy. He just needs a family committed to guiding him as he learns that the world is safe, food is plentiful, and he never has to worry again. If you’re ready to invest in a smart, food-motivated pup who will grow into an incredible companion, Romeo is ready to meet you!

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?
