Story
Meet Kally! A three year old, energetic, hyper, golden retriever! Kally is really friendly with humans! Sometimes, a little too friendly that she forgets her manners and will jump on you. But she is the best snuggle bug. Originally, we believed that Kally was pregnant at some point due to her having a large stomach but the vet ruled out any problems. Now Kally is spayed and ready for her new home! Kally is currently in China, but available to fly to you in the coming months. Please send us an email if you are interested in learning more about Kally and our adoption process.

Not too much is known about her history, but one thing we do know - Toyota loves toys! She will happily bring her toy over to new friends, or join you in a game of fetch or tug! Toyota is still working on confidence building, so it will be important to respect her space and body language as you get to know her better!

Story
Age: 4 yearsWeight: 21.1 kg / 47 lbsA bit about Deja:- unknown history with kids; all interactions should be supervised- unknown history with cats; slow, supervised introductions required- unknown history with dogs; select dogs okay pending successful introductionDeja was found as a stray after an encounter with a porcupine! Deja is a sweet, wiggly, social and friendly girl who loves attention and she unfortunately learned the hard way that porcupines don`t want to be friends! Deja is a bit stressed here and having a hard time returning to her kennel because there are no people inside to snuggle with! Since Deja was found as a stray, her history is unknown, so her new family will need to be prepared to give her some time and patience to settle in! So far, though, Deja seems like she may do well in a variety of homes! Help Deja put her kennel days behind her; come adopt!

Story
Age: 3 yearsWeight: 18.2 kg / 40 lbsA bit about Bruno:- has lived with older kids; young children not recommended due to touch sensitivities; all interactions should be supervised- unknown history with cats; slow, supervised introductions required- unknown history with dogs; select dogs okay pending successful introduction- touch sensitive dog; adopters will need to work on building confidence surrounding vet visits (cooperative care)Bruno will receive three free post adoption consults with our behaviour team!Meet Bruno! Doesn`t he have the happiest face you`ve ever seen? He loves to meet new people with a wiggly body and wagging tail. He`s also very smart, food motivated and eager to learn. However, Bruno has a lot of discomfort with unexpected or invasive handling, particularly around his head. In shelter, we have worked hard with Bruno on cooperative care - meaning Bruno has learned to be an active participant in getting a vet exam, or putting his leash on. To keep Bruno safe and healthy, his new family will need to commit to continuing to work with Bruno on these skills. Bruno has previously lived with teenagers, and may do well will older kids. We recommend that all kids in the home be hold enough to read, understand and respect Bruno`s body language. To help Bruno thrive in his new home, you`ll receive three free training consults to attend together! If you are the family that can bring out Bruno`s confident side, and give him all the love he deserves, then reach out today!

Story
Dotty is a cutie with a great personality to match! Once introduced, she's playful and cuddly. She likes stuffed toys and going for walks. Dotty also loves making new dog friends, particularly ones who can match her high-energy play style. Dotty is not just fun, she's also super smart and already knows paw, other paw, sit pretty, spin, and touch! She's a total treat enthusiast (cheese and liver snacks are her favorites) and will happily show off her tricks for a tasty reward. If you're looking for a clever, affectionate, and sweet best friend, Dotty is your girl!https://youtu.be/yNOzrAXH9ushttps://youtu.be/5tmU-RV7kychttps://youtu.be/Fiz1yeIpvdc Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 27.2 Age: 2yrs 0mths 0wks
