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**

Energy level: VERY HIGH
Size: Medium (50 lbs)

Rescue Story: I was an owner surrender.

Good with Kids? Yes!

​
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**

shadow-accepting applications

​Name: Shadow
Sex: Female
Breed: Great Dane, Lab X
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**

​Name: Ziva
Sex: Female
Breed: Chi X
Age: 3 years old (approx)
Energy Level: High
Size: Small

Rescue Story: Came from a high kill shelter in California

Good with Kids?: Yes!
Good with dogs?: Yes, but I only like dogs my own size please, no large breeds for me
Good with cats?: Yes, but I can chase them

Hi there! My name is Ziva and boy am I happy you are reading my bio! Do you like someone who is spunky, playful, cuddly and super duper cute and dainty. Well look no further! I am originally from California but came to Canada a few months ago. I love it, although I keep hearing about this winter thing... All I can say is I hope they make winter jackets and sweaters for dogs because I am not dealing with this snow stuff without them! But hey, if you promise to cuddle close to me and keep me warm, I will be one happy pooch. I really love people. If you are my people I will make sure I love you tons. I will cuddle up close every chance I get and of course if you have squeaky toys OH BOY I love those. I am an excellent walker too. I don't pull on my leash, I just like to walk next to you while we go on leisurely jaunts through the neighborhood. What else should you know about me. Hmm well I really like having a dog friend to play with because I am a play master! Someone similar in size though because large breed dogs scare me and I can be a bit snarly with them, mostly because I am a tiny nugget and they intimidate me. I am a fast runner too so bonus if you have a yard for me to have my zoomiez in! I have pretty good recall and I do know how to sit. However I do beg a bit because HOOMAN FOOD SMELLS SO GOOD! So I will need some basic training to work on my manners. I also sometimes try and protect my humans from other dogs so I have a teeny weeny bit of lap guarding issues but as long as you are consistent I will learn. Otherwise I am pretty awesome. I live with cats right now and we get along great. I mean sometimes I will chase but it's mostly because I want to play, I am not aggressive but I just have to remember my boundaries! I do well playing with other dogs and get along great with everyone I meet, especially if they are my size, but like alot of dogs sometimes I just need you to introduce me kindly and show me that they are my friends, with lots of treats. And no I'm not making that up just So you feed me more treats even though that sounds alot like me! Treats are a really easy way to get my attention so if another dog and I don't jive right off the bat which does happen with some dogs that are bigger or that aren't my speed, you just gotta show me that they are friends, easy peasy. Then I will be BFFs with them. Occasionally I have accidents in the house, but I am getting so much better. Just figured I'd slip that in there but I hope it doesn't turn you away, I am a fast learner! Honestly, I am told I am a perfect little angel, and I just really would love to find a home to settle down into. I've had a lot of change in my life and although I am adaptable, come on, what's a dog gotta do to find a family to love her furever? Please consider adopting me. I promise to be your best friend. Love Ziva.
