BANDIT
Available for Adoption/Foster
Name: Bandit
Breed: Alaskan Malamute mix
Sex: Male
Age: 1.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective
Kids: No
Hi, I’m the super handsome and furry playful Bandit! I’m originally from Quebec, where I had 2 previous owners in my short life already. I have been in a foster house with a certificated dog trainer for almost 2 months now and I’m starting to understand what family life all is about. I come with trainer support, so don’t let when I am about to tell you about me steer you too far away from me. I am looking for an experienced owner however. I’m great with all my commands. I love to give paw!
I am nervous around humans when I first meet them, especially men. It is suspected that I was mistreated by my leash/collar in my past, so this would explain it. I need to be approached slowly, and it will take some trust building before you will be able to touch my neck. It has taken my foster family a few months to gain my trust but we’ve been all working together. You might be asking why you see me with a muzzle on in some of my photos. Because of my past, I can still be reactive. My foster family understands my triggers but wants to make sure I get the best success here. I am currently living with 3 other dogs and an 18 month old – I have to be on my best behaviour!
Once I’ve learned to trust you, you will get to see my goofy and playful personality start to shine through. I am pretty highly treat motivated but I am also food reactive. My foster mom continues to work on this with me and we are getting success. I have my own bedroom at my foster house, so I eat away from everyone and everything. If there is food and another dog – I will react. I made the decision that I am no longer crate trained after I escaped the crate for a third time. I have not been destructive inside my bedroom, as long as you leave the window open so the cool air can come in at night. Did I mention I also LOVE to be outside? I like to lay on the deck all day in the sun. I even like to lay out in the rain. I yell at my foster mom until she lets me outside.
I do enjoy playing with the one foster dog I’m living with. We only ever play with my muzzle on, as I am learning what it means to socialize with other dogs. Every interaction I have had with my foster dogs has been positive. My foster mom says I’m a good boy! If I am uncomfortable, I will let you know. Please understand dog body language and warning symbols. I do not have a bite history since being in Ontario but I will scrunch my nose as a warning – especially when you try to grab the leash or my collar. I have a bite history in Quebec but the severity and circumstances are unknown. Please leave my leash on me for at least the first month both inside and out. It is part of the adoption contract anyway, but it’s crucial for me.
A meet and greet will be required prior to my adoption to ensure my new fur-sibling and my new human understand my style and to ensure we will be a good match. I am not good with cats. Even though I live with a child, I am NOT kid friendly due to my bite history and neck sensitivity. I will not be adopted to a home with young children.
I am neutered and up to date on all of my vaccinations. My adopter will be provided with an already registered microchip to have inserted by their veterinarian upon my adoption as I am not yet microchipped. Please note that I am in the care and guidance of 3 rescues collaborating together, so the adoption process may be delayed as all 3 rescues review all applications and come to a joint decision.

ECHO
Available for Adoption
Name: Echo
Breed: Alaskan Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 3 years
Cats: Maybe
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes
Hi, I'm Echo and my age is estimated around 3-5 years, though more likely closer to 3. I am seeking a very special type of home, so please read carefully. The first requirement in my forever home, is at least one other dog full-time in my home. I also need a quiet environment without a lot of people coming and going, at least in the beginning until I open up.
I am a very shy girl, and my motto in life is “Ew, people”. I have not been well-socialized with people, and I tend to stay away from humans at all costs. I have a leash on me at ALL times both inside and outside here in my foster home as that is the only way I can be kept safe due to my fear and very high flight risk. In the house, I have a 6ft leash on me, and would much rather spend all of my time hiding in a corner or in my crate, but my foster people are forcing me to stay within 6ft of them using my leash so that I will learn to be near people. Outside in the yard, I am more lively and will come within about 10ft of people.
I am a quiet girl unless I am in my element playing with other dogs. I love other dogs, big and small! I like to bark when I am playing, but it is not a loud bark. I am very fast running and playing in the yard with the other dogs and would love a home with a large fenced yard! As I am quiet, I could live in attached housing as well, though it wouldn’t be ideal. I have not been around cats, but I may be ok since everything is so scary and foreign to me. Cats would be at own risk if I were to live with them.
I will be slow to warm up and settle into my new home, so I am seeking a quiet, patient home. I lay down on the ground when someone tries to pet me, but have not attempted to nip or bite, so I may be ok with quiet, respectful kids, though would prefer not to live with them full time. I have been in foster for 2 weeks now, and just started opening up a few days ago. There is much still to learn about me, but we do know that I had a litter recently before I was surrendered to a shelter. I am not a fan of eye contact, however, I do like ATV’s, so I think I have been an outside dog my whole life until recently. I am house trained and excellent in my crate.
I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am ready to go home with you and learn to love life!

FEZ
Available for Adoption/Foster
Name: Fez
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 10.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Maybe - see description
Kids: Yes, older
Hi, I'm Fez. I'm a rescue dog so I don't know when I was born, though my vet records have a birthdate of November 24 2009, so we can keep using that if you like. Until recently I lived with a grandmother and was very fond of her. I need a new home because she had to move into a retirement home. Don’t go by my age as you will be surprised how active I am during my really long walks. After my early morning walk, I like to sleep mostly during the day. I don’t like to play fetch. I will fetch once or twice and rest you can play by yourself. I'm looking for a forever home where I can get some attention.
I know commands like sit and shake but I will follow them only when I smell some treats. I haven’t had a single accident in my foster’s home. I am a smart boy and I will tell you when I have to do my business. I'm okay on a leash but I need a firm hand as I love to meet other dogs. Currently, I don’t live with any other pets, but I have made many fur friends during my walks. At my previous home, I was mostly calm around other dogs, but they don't seem to like me. I haven’t been around children since I entered rescue care, but would likely be fine. My previous home stated that I have a bite history over resources, but none of my caregivers with the rescue have noted any guarding. I like to stick around with my primary caregiver in the home as well so an experienced home is likely best. I bond fairly quickly and have developed a case of separation anxiety, so attached housing isn’t ideal for me. My fosters allow me to sleep in their bedroom but on my bed as I get very anxious when left alone. I am a very friendly dog but I don’t like hugs and please don’t try to lift me.
My favorite past-time is digging! My new home would be best if it had dig prevention around the edge of the fence in order to prevent my accidental escape due to my digging. I don’t intend to escape, but I may due to digging. I am not crate trained and with my good behaviour in the house, I may not be required to be crate trained. I was overweight initially and need to lose weight in order to be healthy. Because of this, I am being fed less than what I initially used to get. I may become super hungry at times which is why I start table begging. However, if you don’t pay attention to me, I will be fine. If you don’t protect your food from me, I may even end up eating your food. But I promise, it happened only once.
I am neutered, up to date on my vaccinations and microchipped. I recently had a surgery for a mass on my toe and I am recovering pretty fast, but am otherwise ready to go home with you! As soon as I am healed and cleared by the vet, I can be adopted outside of Toronto. For right now though, I have to stay in Toronto for my bandage changes.

KAIN
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Kain
Breed: Siberian Husky x German Shepherd
Sex: Male
Age: 4.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Very Selective
Kids: No
Hey, I’m Kain and I am searching for an experienced forever home of my own. My forever home needs to have experience with resource guarding, separation anxiety, and no children due to my bite history surrounding resource guarding. I would be better in a single-gender or single-owner household as well, but if my owners are experienced enough with guarding, it’s not mandatory.
I am protective of things that I find, food, bones, toys, treats, and also my human mom when she is on her monthly cycle. I also have a fabric fetish, and will swallow any fabric that I find, like socks, so my forever home needs to be diligent to keep not just myself safe from surgery, but everyone safe from my guarding. I have 2 blankets that are fabric that I enjoy and do not eat. I don’t like to be left alone in a room, or really at all, so someone should always be with me to keep my comfortable. In typical husky fashion, fetch is not a favorite game - you will need to go and get the ball.
I am very observant of my surroundings and know when something of mine, or that I believe to be mine, has been moved. I will let you brush me to a point, but when I have had enough, I will bare teeth and growl. I am not a fan of the bath, but I love to play in water. I also love to drink from moving water sources, so make sure the moving water source is clean water. I will drink from my water bowl as well though. I am house and crate trained, but lately have been getting a temper about being put in my crate. Although I live indoors, I love the smell of fresh cut grass and chasing bugs and going on hikes outdoors, or simply just lazing around in the sun.
I usually get 3 walks per day, so an active home is best for me. I have my own kennel area and like to hoard my toys or bones there (but like any kid, I will leave my toys out to be stepped on).
My training is basic to moderate and I walk well on leash with my training collar.
I greet my people at the door with howls of joy when they return from being out. I am happy and carefree most of the time, but will nip/bite when in protective mode of my personal area and things. I am terrified of fireworks, car engine noises, and am not comfortable during car rides. I will hide under the table, but pulling my out by my collar is not something I am a fan of.
Socially, I have been to dog parks, but not often. I did well in these situations with few social altercations. I like to chase cats, so let’s not go there. With humans, I do well also as long as I am not guarding. I am loving, curious, respectful and cautious when around young/small children and dogs/puppies, but with my guarding, I should not live in a home with children and should be heavily supervised in the company of children. I am also sympathetic around humans and animals who are ill injured, making me a very loyal companion with a few workable quirks for the right person.
I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am ready to go home with you immediately!

LEXIE
Available for Adoption/Foster
Name: Lexie
Breed: Siberian Husky
Sex: Female
Age: 3.5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes - see description
Kids: No
Hey my name is Lexie, and I’m searching for an experienced hands-off home that wants a fun-loving, highly treat motivated girl! I am looking for a fun and active home where I am not physically handed much! If this is you or could be you, I’d love to follow your treats! Treats are amazing and I’ll do anything for them!
I’m a girl that needs a fenced yard, with a fence minimally 5ft high. I am not a fan of being leashed up due to not liking having my collar/neck handled or touched. I am crated trained, but only for a wire crate, however I will try to escape the crate so you’ll need several clips for the door to keep me contained. Once the weak points are secured, I make no attempt at escape. I am very much a counter-surfer, and will need to be crated in your absence. I am house trained and I am very loyal and obedient to my human once we establish a connection.
I am very prey-driven, and my trial with cats was not good. Please no cats for me. I am good with other dogs, however it is better if they do not live with me and we only have supervised playdates. You see, I am food and toy possessive with other dogs and people. I LOVE to play with other dogs, but I am a heavy player and do not know when to stop, even with other dogs telling me when to stop. This can lead to fights. I love to play with my humans too!
I cannot live with or be around children due to the food and toy aggression as well as my displeasure towards collar handling. I am not a fan of being hugged, picked up, held for vetting, or being crowded in. I need to be muzzled for vet visits or even anything done at home like wound inspections, nail trims, grooming, etc. If you respect my wishes and pet me when I ask and don’t push my limits, then we can get along just fine! I do have a bite history - once due to collar restraint, and the other is unknown as it was before I entered the shelter.
I am spayed and microchipped, and ready to go home with you!

MILO
Available for Adoption
Name: Milo
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 6 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes - see description
Kids: No
Hey, I’m Milo and I’m approximately 6 years old. I first met the nice people here at SMART when they helped move me from Ontario to Alberta to be with my previous owner a couple of years ago when we moved provinces! Unfortunately, and regrettably, I am looking for my third and final, forever home due to an overseas move.
I was adopted by my last human when I was 1.5 years old. Before being with my previous owner, I was around children, but I haven’t been around any in the last 4 years. I am also a large husky mix and I will guard high-value resources, but not my food. I like to jump up to say hello, and need to work on this. Despite the fact that I am a snuggler, I am best in a home without children due to the reasons outlined above. I haven’t been around cats ever, so I will not be adopted to a home with cats. As far as my interactions with other dogs, I need a proper introduction and then I am fine with dogs similar to my size. I am not good with little dogs. I do very well with female dogs and can live with male dogs if properly introduced.
I am house trained, non-destructive and am also crate trained. I will require a 5ft high fence minimally as I am apt to climb/jump fences to escape, but I don’t dig to escape. I would also be ok in an apartment where there is no fence to escape and I am kept on a leash at all times. Ideally, I would have an experienced owner to help work on my stubbornness when it comes to training. I would also like a quiet home without a tonne of people living in the home.
I am not a fan of the vet at all and need to be muzzled when I visit the vet. A good, patient, and experienced vet is really important for me. Keeping vet visits positive and to a minimum will help with this as well. Keep me used to the muzzle at home in a positive way as well to minimize anticipation of muzzling leading to the vet.
I am up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am not yet neutered and will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and neuter contract to be completed once I am more settled in. My adopter will be provided with a registered microchip to have inserted by their veterinarian upon my adoption as I am not yet microchipped.

OBIE
Available for Adoption/Foster
Name: Obie
Breed: Husky mix
Sex: Male
Age: 2 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes, older
Hi, I'm Obie and I was born on August 31 2018. I am here seeking a new home that is stable, experienced, able to train, and has a fenced yard for me to run in. Due to COVID restrictions, will need to stay in the USA as well. My current family is willing to drive me within reasonable distance of my current location as well. I was born in a small village in the Alaskan tundra, and I am a husky cross who’s mother and litter-mates were killed when I was just a week or two old.
I was rescued by a visiting animal welfare team, and fostered and bottle-fed from that time. I am missing an eye and have been since I was originally rescued. I grew up for a year in an apartment in Anchorage, AK, and have been fostered for the last year in a family home in Massachusetts with a very small yard. I run in the yard and do not dig under, nor jump the 5’ fence. I am a big boy weighing nearly 100 lbs and I have boundless energy. It is this energy and lack of doggie mom that are the root causes of my needing to be rehomed.
You see, doggie-mom’s teach puppies all about socialization, manners, etc. As a result of not having one, I have not learned how to appropriately interact with strangers and have bitten twice. Strangers need to be kept from trying to pet me while I am walking on leash or in my crate. With my family, I am super affectionate, playful, and goofy. I love my family/people, just not strangers. I anjoy ear and belly rubs from my family and want to sleep alongside my people. I am leash trained, house trained, and know my basic obedience commands.
I think I would do best in a rural environment without young children around and not a lot of stranger interaction. I do also have resource guarding sometime, which is why I am best without small children. I am good with other dogs, but not good with cats, so let’s not go there please. I have a lot of potential to show you, if you just give me the chance to go home with you and finally have a forever home after 2 years!
I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

SESI
Available for Adoption
Name: Sesi
Breed: Alaskan Malamute mix
Sex: Female
Age: 2 years
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Hello, my name is Sesi (which means “Snow” in Inuit) and I really do ove the snow . I was born December 25th , 2018 and I weigh approximately 70lbs. I am a beautiful big girl, with a big heart (hence the heart on my face). My forever home needs to have experience and understanding of the malamute breed. I am highly treat motivated and know my basic commands like sit, down, wait, stay, heal and off. I can shake my paws and also do high fives for treats.
I am from a broken home and I am being cared for by loving grandparents, who have been spending lots of time working with me. I am loving and affectionate in my current home and love to follow my people around the house unless I am really tired. I can be aloof when my mind is interested in other things but can be persuaded with high value treats. Unfortunately, I missed out on learning some socialization skills when I was a puppy and COVID hasn’t helped, so I am uncomfortable in some social situations. I am nervous around some humans when I first meet them and will growl when I am uncomfortable. My grandparents and a trainer are working with me to help me build my confidence and trust. I am beginning to trust more social interactions with some strangers and other dogs on my walks. I have noticed I do not care for small yappy dogs and am beginning to ignore them.
Because I have not been exposed to many social situations, I would prefer a quiet home with adults only and not too many as I am not socialized with lots of people. More than one meet and greet with my new people will be required to ensure I am a fit with them and comfortable with them. As a result my new home must be within 2 hours of Ottawa, ON. This is because I have growled and shown some aggression towards selective strangers when introduced too quickly and I feel insecure and anxious with new situations.
My nature and age requires exercise so I do not become bored and destructive. I love to go for a couple of longer walks and a shorter walk is a bonus as well. Ideally, I would have a large fenced yard with a fence at least 5ft high. Also, I have noticed that I do like to dig in the ground so a dig guard would be a bonus. When on my walks I am friendly and love to meet people and play with most dogs. We always ask permission first and my grandparents are very good at knowing my triggers should I need to walk away. I like to smell people first and prefer that they do not get all touchy-feely with me as it makes me uncomfortable.
Given my nature to roam it is best that I be kept on leash while outside. I am prey driven when I see cats, birds, squirrels and rabbit, but am beginning to ignore some of them on my walks. I am well behaved in the house. I still have my puppy curiosity so I like to follow you around the house. I am house trained. I was crate trained but I have not used it since COVID.
I am spayed, up to date on my vaccinations and am microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

THOR

Age: 5 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Very Selective
Kids: No
Hey, I’m Thor and I am searching for an experienced forever home of my own. My forever home need to have experience with resource guarding and no children due to my bite history surrounding resource guarding.
I am playful and affectionate with my immediate family, so please give me a chance to warm up to your family. I know my basic commands and some tricks like sit, paw, shake, roll over, and stay. I am not familiar with leash skills and will need work in this area. In typical husky fashion, I will play fetch 3 times and then you can go get the ball!
I am used to spending all day outside in my large fenced yard and sleeping inside at night. I am not crate trained, and I spend the day outside while my people are at work. I am searching for a home with space for me and not attached housing. I can also be possessive of my property, so a quite home without a lot of company coming around would be ideal! I am good with the kids in my home, but with my resource guarding, I cannot remain in the home. I am not good with cats and have only been good with older female dogs that frequent my current home. I will need socialization with other dogs, or a dog-free home. Please no cats.
I am not crate trained, but I am house trained and non-destructive as long as I am not left indoors home alone for long periods of time. If I am left indoors with a bone or stuffed kong, I am ok for slightly longer durations. But, with my resource guarding, you will need to be careful upon returning home.
I am neutered, microchipped and up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am ready to go home with you immediately!

TOBA
Available for Foster/Adoption
Name: Toba
Breed: Siberian Husky x Alaskan Malamute
Sex: Male
Age: 2.5 years
Cats: Yes, mature dog savvy cats
Dogs: Yes - selective
Kids: No
Hi there, I’m Toba and I was born on February 16, 2018. I am seeking a new home without children urgently as I’m a fearful boy, and need an owner experienced in dealing with such behaviour. I do have a bite history and I do lunge at people I do not know. I also need a strict routine, and ideally someone always home. I am a picky eater and have some dietary restrictions as well, so someone comfortable with this is a must. I eat a salmon-based diet as chicken and pork upset my tummy.
I’m looking for a home without kids, and I am selective of my doggie friends, so a meet/greet will be required to ensure we all get along. With that said however, I would likely do best in a home with an established, mature dog that I get along with to teach me the ropes and give me companionship. A meet/greet is also required with my new people because I am wary of strangers; especially men. I do not like direct confrontation or eye contact, petting, intimidation from strangers. Once I am comfortable with you, I like to wrestle and play tag. Give me the patience needed, and let me open up to you! I am good with cats that know how to live with dogs.
I’m a very smart boy and love mental challenges, so it’s also recommended that you and I attend obedience classes together to help with my fear aggression and building our bond as well as basic obedience and socialization. I’m an escape artist as well, so please make sure you have researched both breeds before taking me home. A minimum 6ft fence is required and perimeter dig deterrent or daily inspection is strongly recommended. I have separation anxiety as well, which may be more manageable with the proper routine, exercise, and training. I am house trained, but am not crate trained. I like to sleep on a dog bed next to my human’s bed. I have worked with numerous trainers and have my basic obedience skills. Clicker and distraction training has shown some success with my fear aggression, but more training is needed.
I am up to date on all of my vaccinations, and my adopter will be supplied with a pre-registered microchip to have inserted by their veterinarian upon adoption. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and neuter agreement.

TYSON
Available for Adoption/Foster
Name: Tyson
Breed: Malamute x Australian Shepherd
Sex: Male
Age: 6 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes - see bio
Kids: Yes, older
Hi, my name is Tyson and I am a big, goofy, lovable fuzz-ball waiting patiently to go home with you! My age is an estimate, and my energy level is mostly low, but I do get zoomies on occasion. With my size, it’s best to put me outside in the fenced yard to let me get the zoomies done in order to save your furniture in the house.
I am house trained, crate trained, and I don’t seem to get on the furniture. I am not good with cats. I am good with dogs of all sizes, but only when they are within my own yard and there is no stimulus on the other side of the fence. When I am in the yard, I am territorial over my yard, and dogs on the other side of the fence. This can cause me to fight with my fur-siblings. I am best in a yard without adjacent yards to avoid this. I think this is the herding breed part of me causing this little quirk of mine.
I am good left loose in the house without getting into too much trouble, and I am quiet for the most part. I like to nibble in excitement and affection, which can be mistaken for a bite - I have a “bite” history as result, even though skin was never broken. I also have a reported history of resource guarding, though my foster, nor the boarding kennels I have been in have observed any guarding behaviour; aside from the yard protection. I will also protect my humans when I am on a leash and an off-leash dog approaches us, so this is something to be mindful of.
I have some basic training, and walk well on leash for the most part. Sometimes, I can pull strongly on the leash when I see something I want to sniff, so I will need more work on my leash manners. My basic manners like sit are very good and I come when called most of the time. I will only fetch about 6 times before I am bored of that game, but playing with my human is fun in more of a touch-tag way. Overall, I am just a fantastic boy exhibiting herding protection traits due to my breed composition. I won’t last long!
I am neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all of my vaccinations. I am ready to go home with you!
