Rescue Story: Owner Surrender

Hi there! The name is Buster! I'm a 6-year old, 100 lb Chesapeake Retriever looking to find my forever family. I was previously an acreage dog but now I'm a city slicker that enjoys walks around the neighbour, playing fetch and destroying all the stuffies available. I didn't get walked very much by my previous family but I am good on leash and know how to stay, sit and heel. Because I didn't get much interaction with other dogs growing up I want to ignore them on walks and don't go out of my way to say hi. My foster family has muzzle trained me so that if a dog unexpectedly approaches me on a walk everyone is safe. I currently live in a town house with no backyard, but because I am on a consistent schedule I don't have accidents in the house and gladly wait for my foster parents to return from this thing called "work." Although I'm a big guy I am a HUGE  cuddle bug and will gladly take up 75% of the bed and allow you to sleep around me. The retriever instinct in me is strong - so if you are relaxing on the couch I will be bringing you offerings of stuffed toys begging for you to 'Netflix and Fetch' with me. If I sound like the perfect guy for you please don't hesitate to ask about me!

** Enrollment with a force free trainer will be mandatory with my adoption! I also have slight arthritis starting and will require supplements in the future. I also need to stay on the same diet**

Salter-Accepting Applications

​Name: Salter
Gender: Female
Age: 1 year in December 2018
Breed: Pyrenees X
Size: large (90 lbs)
Energy level: high

Rescue story: I was born into care 4 days after my mom was surrendered from a rural where other dogs were attacking her.

Kids: No!
Dogs: Yes!
Cats: unknown

Hi! My name is Salter -
My mom, Sandy, had 12 puppies, but only 10 of us survived. I was adopted and then returned because my new owners felt like they could not handle me. I am a super sweet girl who has done training and knows basic commands. I am a very cuddly girl who thinks 90lbs is a good lap dog weight! I love my tummy rubs! I do like people but new humans tend to take me more time to warm up with. I also love my toys! I am tall so please keep counter areas free of accessible foods. I am house trained and kennel trained but am so big I need a large x pen. I am good on car rides, but can drool as the motion makes me sick. I am currently on medication for my anxiety issues. I do have some resource guarding issues and walking issues where I can become reactive. I am learning to be balanced but need more time in this area. 

**Salter will require force free training upon adoption**

echo-accepting applications

Name: Echo
Sex: Male
Breed: Husky, Border Collie X
Age: 2 years (approx)
Energy level: VERY HIGH
Size: Medium (50 lbs)

Rescue Story: I was an owner surrender.

Good with Kids? Yes!
Good with Cats?: Yes!
Good with Dogs?: Yes but I need slow introductions with new dog friends. I am best suited for bigger dogs as I play rough and can be too rough for little ones!
​
Hello I am Echo. I came to paws in need a few months ago as my owners could not handle my energy anymore. I have had several homes in my life already and none of them put the time into training me.

I am a very picky eater, I love raw food and wet food but I am very selective about my kibble. I am currently about 10 lbs under weight and we have chatted to the vet about my weight loss but we don't know it is. I for sure could bulk up a bit.

I am a good boy who is learning how to be an even better boy! I know sit, lay down, stay and shake a paw for commands. My foster pawrents are still working on getting me to give them enough space while they are eating.

I am house trained and like to watch from the window to see when you come home. I might destroy the odd shoe or slipper as I just miss you so much! I will tell you I have to pee by staring deep into your eyes and putting a paw on you, if you don't respond I will be vocal and let you know it's time! I am good with cats but I can annoy them sometimes so a tolerant cat or one who likes dogs would be best. I love people and children too! I love to give kisses. I like to have chew toys as I can get bored easily when left home. I am a pretty quiet boy but do whine when I see a rabbit or squirrel pass by! I am a VERY high energy boy and a runner! I can run off easily and will not stop until I am ready to be caught, So a leash is a must or a fenced yard. Actually I need a yard that is at least 4 feet high in my new home. A dog park is no place for me as I have bad manners with small dogs and puppies on or off leash and if you take me off leash, good luck getting me to leave. You will never catch me! lol. I can take time to warm up to new dogs but once I know them I love them. I get the zoomies all the time and love dogs to chase me! I will even jump right over them if I am hyped up! I would make a great agility dog! My foster pawrents have taken me ski joring and I can pull for hours and cry when we stop. I am working on my leash skills and can still pull quite a bit. I would do best with a medium to large breed playmate. Looking for a handsome guy? that is me but I need an active, committed family!

**Force free training enrollment will be part of my adoption clause as I need manners training & I will not be adopted to a home without a 4 foot fence in place. I also need to be ran daily**

Age: 7.5 years (approx)
Energy level: Medium/High
Size: Large

Rescue Story: Owner Surrender

Good with Kids? Yes!
Good with Cats?: Yes! as long as they give me space
Good with Dogs?: I can be selective with my doggy friends. I prefer calm dogs.

Hi there, I’m Shadow! I’m a black lab, great Dane X. I do know I’m super amazing, at pretty much everything! I love kids, I’m good with cats, as long as they’re not aggressive and in my face.  I LOVE, LOVE people. Dogs, well I’m a what you’d call a selective kinda girl. I’m really not good with anything in my face, especially if it’s aggressive in any way. I walk on leash great too and don’t bother with drama with other dogs while walking. 

I’m not overly high energy but I do like to be kind of busy. I like tug of war and to chase my ball 2 or 3 times. I love when my foster mom hides treats around the house, or in the treat puzzles! I love stuffies with those squeakers, oh those squeakers! I’m not a hiker, not a biker and not a runner. I’m great off leash… have amazing recall—unless there’s a rabbit.

I love peanut butter and treats in the kong…raw bones, oh and the mega dog beef and chicken variety frozen meat patties!
Well, that kinda sums me up. 

**Force free training enrollment will be part of my adoption clause as I can be dog selective**

Ginger & Lucy (bonded pair)-Accepting Applications

Name: Ginger (copper) + Lucy (grey) 
Gender: Females 
Breed: Miniature Poodles X 
Age: 4yrs + 7yrs 
Size: XS + S 
Energy Level: Med + Low 

Rescue Story: Owner surrender

Good with Dogs?: We like other calm dogs that respect our space
Good with Kids?: Ages 10 and up and dog savvy only please
Good with Cats?: Yes! 

Hi there! We are a sweet little bonded pair of miniature poodles up for adoption. We are house trained but have had an accident or two once it gets too cold outside. We are good with other dogs as long as they are not high energy and we are fine with cats at adoption events.

Ginger is the spicy one in the duo 🌶 She is either bouncing around for pets and treats or she will be snoozing in her bed watching you with one eye open. Lucy is the old soul of the duo. She helps keep her little sister in check with her calm temperament, but will also follow you around to make sure you don’t get lost in your own home. Both of us are huge cuddle bugs and will jump up on the couch to join you for some Netflix, studying or reading. Although we like to be lazy we will run run run in the backyard and love to go for walks (weather permitting). Together we work full-time as the “snack finders-keepers brigade” - so your kitchen will be spotless.  Currently we live in a very calm household with no other pets or children and we settled in very quickly. Our foster parents usually leave us to guard the house between 8-4pm and we do very well. We also double as an alarm 🚨 in the face of danger so a home that doesn’t mind that security feature is important. 

Stay tuned as our foster parents gets to know us better!

Orbit-accepting applications

Name: Orbit
Sex: Male
Breed: Collie  X
Age: DOB: January 19, 2019
Energy Level: Medium-High
Size: Medium

Rescue Story: Owner Surrender 

Good with Kids?: Yes, but older kids as I can be jumpy
Good with dogs?: Yes!
Good with cats?: No, as I'm too excited around them and chase them

 Hello I'm Orbit! You look fun! My name is Orbit, want to play?? I am a young collie who LOVES making friends! I am so sweet, and always eager to please! I was surrendered because my owner didn’t have time for me anymore, so I am on the hunt for the forever home I deserve because I’m SUCH a good boy. I am a perfect gentleman in the car, I am totally housetrained, and I am independent enough that my foster parents can go to this thing called “work”. I think those kiddo things are fun, but sometimes they just aren’t on my level – the ones who are a bit older can usually handle my zest for life a bit better. I am a HUGE fan of other dogs, but those feline things are suspicious in my books… can’t trust anyone who does their business in a sand box! 

Ok, where was I? Oh yeah, I was telling you how wonderful I am. I even speak human! I know what “sit”, “down”, “find your toy”, and “shake a paw” mean. One human word I’m still learning is “come” – it’s a bit hard for me to focus on that one when there’s so many interesting things to sniff! Even though I never really learned leash skills, my foster mom will still sometimes take me on runs in my harness, and she says I’m actually not too shabby at this running thing – if you take the time to teach me what you want me to do on the leash (which wouldn’t take long, because c’mon, I’m crazy smart) she says I would make an amazing running partner. I also think agility looks a ton of fun, and I just know I would be a superstar if you were to teach me some crowd-pleasing tricks… Making people happy AND getting tasty treats??!! That is my dream. Well, gotta go, time to curl up on the couch for some cuddles, my favorite! It was so nice to meet you, I hope we can hang out soon! I am also great at doggy daycare! I was told I was kennel trained when coming into care but my foster says it's a work in progress!

**Enrollment with a force free trainer will be part of my adoption clause as I need work on my manners meeting people**

Hi! My name is Dakota and I’m a playful and happy pup hoping to find my furever family soon! I came all the way from the NWT and am currently being fostered in a grade 3 classroom. I am still a young pup so I am learning new things everyday. I am very energetic and like to speak my mind and have full conversations with you. I love to play and run around with stuffed toys. Once I’m done playing I like to have a power nap to recharge. I’m getting pretty good with my house training skills and I know how to sit for treats. Since I’m around a lot of kids all day I am very good with them and love to go up and greet every new person I meet. I also live in a foster home with other dogs and cats so I am good with other animals of all sizes. I love to greet everyone with kisses and tail wags and everyone says I’m quite adorable!
