I'm Abbey, and I'm sweet as pie! I'm approximately 1 year old and looking for a family to call my own. Ideally someone who is home often and who can continue working on my training, and has another dog for me to live with. A detached home with a fenced yard would be ideal for me, but as long as I get leashed walks, I will be content as well!
I'm a very sweet, gentle, girl who loves to be outside, but can happily lounge away indoors for hours at a time - as long as I'm within eyesight of my people. You'll often catch me resting near my foster mom while she does the dishes. For moral support purposes of course. Currently we are working hard on my housetraining. I've had a few accidents but mainly because foster mom wasn't paying attention. Once I'm outside I like to go potty quick so I can get all the praise and treats.
I'm a very nervous and timid girl when first meeting people but I open up with a little time and love. It's important to be very gentle and patient with me when we first meet as I startle easy. I will likely try to slip out my collar if I'm scared or nervous about going somewhere with you. This nervousness seems to be more intense around men. Once I get to know you though, I will happily follow you everywhere!
I really do love spending time around my humans! Maybe a little too much because when they leave, it makes me very upset. Because of my separation anxiety, I'm crated when alone in the house. I really don't like the crate and will yell and scream - settle - then yell and scream some more. For this reason, detached housing only please. Someone who could be home more often to continue my crate training would be ideal.
I'm currently sharing a home with another dog and we get along very well.I would do well in a home with other dogs. Cats are unknown at the moment and have not been tested. My mom seems to think I would do okay with them since I'm so timid. A dog savvy cat would probably be best. I have not met any children yet, but with more time in my foster home, I'm sure I'll meet some!
If I'm to go to a home with other animals, which I would prefer, it's important to know that I've displayed some resource guarding tendencies. Never toward my foster parents (they feed me too well) but my foster bother can get a little too close sometimes. I like to give a warning growl to say "Hey! This is mine". Separating each of us during mealtimes or with any high value treats/toys will set me up for success!
I am scheduled to be spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped on June 30 at a clinic in Hamilton, ON at the appropriate time after my heat cycle ends. I am currently in heat.

Name: Kiska
Breed: Husky x Malamute
Sex: Female
Age: 7 years old
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Well, hello! My name is Kiska, and I am a gorgeous Husky Malamute mix. I was born on March 11, 2015. Like my breeds are known to be, I can be assertive and stubborn. I would like to find a confident and experienced owner; someone I know I can trust and follow. I need someone who can work with my breed mix. I need a home with no other pets please! I am visually impaired, which is a major contributing factor to my undesirable behaviours.
I need an adult only home, with someone who can take me for walks a couple of times a day. I am used to being an inside pet and having access to a fenced yard. In the summer, I prefer to hang out indoors where it is cooler. I am used to being left alone for up to 8 hours a day. I am crate trained and house trained. I enjoy taking over your couch and I do not like to move, so we need to work on this. Building a good relationship where I learn to respect you will help a lot.
I can also be standoffish. It can take me some time to get comfortable, and I don’t like to be crowded or have people go in for pets. Once we have a connection, I can be very loving. I will tell you when I need to go outside and when I would like back in. I am very chatty and can hold a conversation with you! I also love squeaky toys. I do enjoy walking, and have learned how to walk well on leash. I will need to be muzzle-trained and a basket muzzle used for walks due to my displeasure of other dogs approaching me and invading my space. Remember, I cannot see them well. I have bitten 2 dogs due to this
I do have a reported bite history on a toddler; and I do growl as a warning. I have been said to have bitten a handful of times throughout the last 7 years (unreported). Let me come to you and please respect my need for space. I do know some commands like, sit, paw, and lay down. I could probably learn more too. A great routine would be very helpful for me too. I haven’t met a cat before and but given my breed mix, it is probably best to avoid them completely. I am not good with other dogs, and I will not be placed in a home with children.
Due to being vision impaired, my other senses are heightened. I am always on high alert with my ears, and I will startle and react to the slightest noise. I will run to the fence when the mailman or utility guys come to the house in an effort to scare them off. I will need to be put away when there is a stranger coming into the home to prevent any incidents. Be prepared to listen to my singing while I am away though. I do not like to be closed away from my humans or behind doors.
I am up to date on all of my vaccinations. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding contract given my age. My adopter will be provided with an already registered microchip to have inserted by their veterinarian upon my adoption.

Name: Lady
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 3 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: No
Hey everyone, I’m Lady and I’m an approximately 3 year old female looking for my forever home. I am seeking a very experienced, hands-off home that can take the time needed to train me to be the best girl I know I can be with time. My forever home must not have children as I have a bite history and many handling sensitivities that I will go over below.
Due to the situation I was in, I am a fearful girl and startle at every noise or motion. I do also bite in fear, particularly when I am approached, cornered or restrained. I am not a fan at all of having any petting performed, so my forever home must be very understanding and willing to work with me on this long-term, or at least manage me as safely as possible. I cannot stress enough that I will, and have, bitten and cannot be with children. I am not house trained, so will need more work in this area as well. I have not been crated, however I would likely love a plastic crate I can run into and hide away from people.
Due to having almost no human contact, introductions to new people will take time and patience. I am still very timid and skittish when greeting people and can still be that way with my foster mom. I will need someone patient and able to work with me to get me to come out of my shell. I do warm up to my fosters in time, but will need more socialization with strangers once settled in. I don’t exhibit any food aggression or resource guarding with humans or dogs, and I love other dogs! Please, no cats. Other dogs help to draw me closer to you, so I really would be best in a home with other dogs to help you work with me.
I was raised in a kennel environment and I need to be taught basic obedience manners and leash walking skills since I was not walked. I am still fearful of humans and tend to run when they want me to do things I don’t want to do, and I will back up on the leash when I want to protest moving forward. These things are all so foreign to me! It is absolutely imperative that I be kept on my leash both inside and outside the home for at least a month, maybe even longer until I am settled in and comfortable as I am a flight risk and a bite risk. I have chewed through a fence here in foster in my state of fear and panic, so I need somewhere very secure, experienced, and patient.
I am up to date on my DHPP and bordatella vaccinations and I have been microchipped. I have a tentative spay appointment in Kitchener on July 2.

Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 6 years
Cats:No
Dogs: No
Kids: Yes
Hi there, my name is Lady2, and I am around 6 years old at best guess. I am almost done being a momma dog, so am here putting myself on the market for a forever home! My ideal forever home would have no other pets in the home and will have a securely fenced yard or be willing to use a tether for safe confinement!
I am a very sweet girl and pretty mellow, so I should fit into just about any home environment that has no other pets. I have been raising puppies most of my life, so I am pretty selective around other dogs for fear they may get near my puppies or try to breed me again. I am ready to retire and learn most about pet life!
Currently, have discovered the beauty of a sofa and just love to climb up on the couch or the chair for a snooze, or even just watch the day go by and take a break from my puppies. I could snuggle with you on the couch, or I could be up there by myself. I am pretty easy going! I am gentle and good with children of all ages, so I will do well in a home with children.
I am highly treat motivated and will do anything for a treat, so training me to be the best pet for you should be a breeze. We should definitely take advantage of my treat motivation to train some recall into me since I am quite the building quality inspector! I will find any hole in your fence, whether you knew it was there or not, so training me to come when called is a good idea so I am easier to get back if I find a quality fault in your fence and go for a stroll.
I am very quiet in my kennel here at boarding and also very tidy, so we can assume I am decently house trained and crate trained, though we cannot guarantee this. Since I am content just chewing on a bone or watching tv on the couch with or without a human nearby, we can assume I will be ok alone while you’re at work, but we cannot guarantee that. I am a devine addition to a home where I am the only pet, so get your application in now to take me home in a couple of weeks when my puppies are ready to go as well!
I am microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay contract to be completed at the appropriate time after my next heat cycle after I gain weight. I am ready to go home with you!

Name: Louna
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 5 years
Cats: Maybe
Dogs: Yes - selective
Kids: Yes, older
Hi, I'm Louna! I'm a beautiful 5 year old girl looking for a new loving family! I'm very quiet and respectful in the home, but have started finding my voice to talk to my human when I'm feeling chatty! I would do well in attached or detached housing with a fenced in yard, but I do bark when the doorbell rings.
I am fully house trained and know many tricks - including speak and whisper! I love to show them off to you for treats. My first language is French but I'm working really hard at learning my tricks in English. You won’t believe how smart and eager to learn and please I am! If you are looking for a dog to teach new, fun things to, look no further! I'm very smart and sweet, and need humans that will be patient with me and work with me to feel better about meeting new dogs. I learned how to use "word buttons" and use the "hungry" and "treat" buttons effortlessly. This could be a fun learning activity for us! We could become Instagram and TikTok famous if we work on this trick!
I love attention and affection. When I snuggle, I love to push my head onto you and really get up close and personal! I also like to hold your arm when you pet me. I love to play fetch with you and am so great at bringing back the ball. Playing tug is really fun too! I'm gentle with my stuffed animal toys and not a big chewer. I walk well on leash and love to go on walks, but prefer staying away from other dogs. I am comfortable wearing a muzzle as a precaution and to let other dog owners know to give me space. I do need an experienced owner as I am reactive to other dogs on walks and will lunge at them. We could benefit from attending training classes together to help us work on this behaviour.
I've been around a few kids when on walks and was curious about them, but haven't played with any yet so I'm not sure how I feel about them. I am very comfortable in my crate and settle in nicely for the night or when my human goes to work, but prefer to relax on the couch when my human is home. A fully fenced yard would be best for me as I really love to play fetch, but my recall isn't perfect yet. I am not your typical husky - I will play fetch and return the ball more than 3 times! However, I am a typical husky in that I am not an off-leash dog.
I haven't shown any resource guarding, but I'm still unsure about meeting dogs so a slow and calm meeting is important. I need some time to warm up to other dogs but love humans! The vacuum is scary for me but I'm slowly getting more comfortable around it. I am best with calm dogs if I am to live with another dog please! No energetic, pushy, or dominant dogs in my home please.
I am spayed, up to date on my DHPP and bordetalla 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.

Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 4 years old
Cats: Maybe - see description
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes
Hello. My name is Luna, and I am a gorgeous girl if I do say so myself! My birthday is said to be January 25, 2019, so I am 4 years old. I am ideally searching a home with a fenced in yard, another dog as a companion in the home, and someone that is almost always home to keep me company!
Like my breed is known to be, I can be outgoing, smart, friendly, and I am described as being medium energy. I am mostly untested with cats, but have met one. I was very quick and scared the cat, but I did not chase it and only wanted to play. I would need a dog-savvy cat and experienced owner if I am to try living with a cat. I am said to be good with kids and I am good with dogs too. My current family feels I would do well living with another dog too. I would also benefit from someone who has the time to continue my training.
I would really appreciate a fenced in yard too. It would also be great if I had someone who was home most of the time or working from home. I am good about 80% of the time when I am left alone, but there is that other 20%. During that 20% I can sometimes be a typical husky and chew on legs of tables and chairs etc. I can also get distracted sometimes, so there is room for learning and growing. I am told that i have a tendency to mark, but I am spayed, so perhaps I also need a little more work on my potty training. My family has done a lot of work on this already and I am a good girl.
What else can I tell you about me? I am a very loving girl and come for some love when I want. I currently live with humans of all ages and love them! However, sometimes, especially in the evenings, I prefer to be left alone when I am tired and just relaxed. My current family is hoping that I can find a foster or adopter in the next six months. They really want me to be in a home that can care for me properly and provide me with what I need to succeed. I know that I sound like I am a pretty great catch, and for the right family, I definitely am. I do not have a bite history as far as is known. I am from China originally, and I grew up in a shelter there, so I am still fairly new to this house thing.
I am spayed, up to date on all of my vaccinations and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you now!

Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 8 months
Cats: Unknown
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes, older
Well, hello! My name is Mahekan, which is Cree for “Wolf”. Aren’t I just the cutest thing? Don’t you just love how my ears flop over and my beautiful blue eyes? I was born on March 24 2022. I’m looking for an active home that can take the time to train and shape me into the very best girl I can be. I am looking for a home where someone will love me and smother me in attention!
I’m an outgoing, fun-loving, wiggly, sweet, exuberant girl with a lot of energy and as such, I need to have regular exercise and monitoring to ensure I am not destructive, as puppies can be. I love to be loved and petted, sometimes I am vocal so you never forget I am there. I am a goofy puppy and love to play with other dogs. I like to play with toys, balls and tug rope and I love to sleep on comfy floor mats and in my crate, although I do make some noise in the crate. I do better when the crate is covered. I will also let you know that’s its wake up time in the morning. I love to run around the yard and l enjoy going for walks. I am strong, agile and quick and I have tons of energy to burn. When I’m done, I rest easy. I’ll be a great hiking companion. I am house trained. I am best in detached housing with a fenced in yard please. Please understand that I am a puppy and still learning many things. I am good in my crate for long hours, so working outside of the home is fine for me even though I am a puppy!
I love people and food, I do eat rather quickly, so a slow feeding dish may be beneficial, I have been caught counter surfing, so my new family will have to watch for that. Sometimes I lay in front of the water dish, so resource guarding may need to be addressed. In foster, I met a 10 yr old who understands the correct way to introduce themselves to new dogs and I did well meeting her, although as a puppy I can be quite rambunctious and jump on people which is something I know I have to work on. Older kids would likely be best. I play fairly rough with other larger dogs in the yard, though I respond very well to correction. I haven’t been introduced to small dogs or cats as far as foster mom knows, so that is still an unknown and a meet and greet would be best. As I have not met cats, it is preferred that I not live with cats.
I am up to date on my vaccinations and microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay contract to be completed when I am of the proper age. My spay will be booked at the rescue clinic in Kitchener or Hamilton, or a partial rebate can be issued if booked at your vet. I am currently in heat.

Sex: Female

Dogs: Yes (bonded with Pola)
Kids: Yes
Hi there! My name is Meeshka. I am part of a bonded pair. I am bonded with Pola. We are originally from a Northern Reserve community and spent two years in Honduras. So, we are well traveled. Unfortunately, my family can’t commit to our care anymore and just want what is best for us. Our family is working long hours and knows we need more attention than we are able to be given now. So, what can I tell you about me and my dog-sister, Pola?
I know I am a very pretty girl and I am playful too. I am said to be good with other dogs and I am good with kids, I currently live with some. I am crate trained but not always crated these days. I am used to being tethered and in fenced areas. I am said to be a bit of an escape artist, so you may need to keep an eye on me. I have been spending 10 to 12 hours alone, and would love it if someone was around more often. When left alone for periods of time I can be destructive. I am used to being reassured over a webcam and respond well. I would do well with someone who understands these behaviours and can work with me on this.
Like Pola, I love to run and swim and play. I can even dock dive! I can be a bit of a couch potato in the house, but when I am outdoors, I love to run. I can be affectionate and loving too. I also love playing with Pola, we have a great time together and help to entertain each other. I enjoy playing with other dogs and am said to be well socialized.
I am looking for someone who would love to welcome me and my bonded dog-sister, Pola, into their home. Someone who wants to continue working with us, having fun and adventures. Lots of play and lots of love. Is that you? My family is hoping to have us rehomed as soon as they can so that we can have the wonderful lives they want us to have. Unfortunately, sometimes life circumstances come up that make it better for us canines to find new owners. We are loved, but our owner is going through some stuff and is looking to rehome us for our own benefit. Please help us find a new owner!
I am spayed 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 adoption as I am not yet microchipped .

Sex: Female
Age: 3 years
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Hi there, my name is Mya and I am in need of a forever home please! I was born on December 14 2020. I have been in rescue care for 1.5 years now and would really like to get out of boarding and into a home again to further my training! I need a very active home without a fenced yard that will use a tether when I am outside please!
I am in need of structure and training for sure, but I want to be a good girl. Please help me! I am not house trained unfortunately. I am ok in a crate in your absence, but need to be pushed into it. I really like to be with a human and would so much prefer to be in a home environment. I am working on my leash walking manners with a training collar and have become a lot less reactive to other dogs when on a leash, but I still have a ways to go! I know how to sit and have been working on waiting before diving into my food. You see, I am highly food motivated.
I am extremely energetic and jumpy, and I HATE water, so bathing and grooming my fluffy long coat is a challenge. An experienced groomer can manage me, but don’t try it in your bath tub. It will not go well at all. I need to work on “four-on-the-floor” and general manners. I am also extremely prey-driven and will pull on the leash and scream hysterically when I see a cat, squirrel, etc. On a walk. Please, no cats in my home! I also need a home with no kids as I have a bit of resource guarding and wouldn’t want to hurt anyone and be rehomed yet again :( I might be able to live with another dog with an experienced dog and experienced person, but I am ideally seeking a pet-free home as my anxiety gets me pretty worked up on greetings and doesn’t set the stage well for positive interactions with dog-friends.
As I am young, wild, and free, I am also a bit of an escape artist. I like to dig, particularly if it is out of the yard. A 5-foot fence also means nothing to me and I am out over the top in about 5 seconds. I need a home that will tether me when I am outside to keep me safe please! I do well on a tether. I also need a tonne of exercise, and have enjoyed running on a dog-sled team a few times last season to burn my energy. I am told I did well with that and was a good girl!
I know I will be a lot of work, but for the right person with the energy and experience needed, I can be shaped into the best girl I know that I can be! Please, if you can offer what I need, apply to bring me home so we can start the training and bonding needed.
I am spayed and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you now!

Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Age: 2.5 years
Sex: Female
Cats: Maybe - See Description
Dogs: Selective - See Description
Kids: Yes, Older
Hi, my name is Nova (Pumpkin on my paperwork though), and I am around 2.5 years old. I am here seeking an active forever home please as
I am a very high energy and hyper young girl who loves to run. My forever home would ideally have a fenced yard to help me burn off my excess amount of energy!
I don't like to sit still for long. I am a toy destroyer and love to shake them around. My favourites are squeaky toys that are stuffies. I also like to chase balls/attempt to play fetch. I am still learning manners as I have no training and can be extremely pushy and rude and will jump up on people and on counters. I really love people and kids and get really excited when I see them (jumping). I really like to be close to you and be able to see you. I love the attention from humans! I am a sweet young girl; I just need help from someone willing to put in the time and work to make me the good girl I know I can be. I love kids, but it is recommended I be around older kids due to my jumping as this can scare or injure small kids. I am also a door barger, so it is a risk with small kids leaving doors open or me barrelling through them to get outside.
I can be very vocal when outside in terms of my barking and whining, so please no attached housing. I am a high energy girl so I need someone who is fairly active and is able to take me for long runs or walks every day and play with me to burn my energy as I will be naughty when I am bored. I do pull on leash a lot, and do not like any halti's or harnesses on me at all. I don't like restraint of any kind and will panic, and sometimes nip. I am also not a fan of my paws being touched. I am crate trained, but I cannot have any blankets inside or over my crate as I will be destructive with them when bored/confined. I settle in the crate rather quickly now without much fuss and have never made messes inside the crate. I only ever had two messes inside my foster home due to foster mom not noticing I needed outside quick enough.
I have seen and been around the cat in my foster home for brief periods and seem to be fine with them. But due to my breeds high prey drive, If I am to live with a cat it needs to be a dog savvy cat as I will chase small animals, like I chase any animals outside. As for dogs, I am very selective and it really depends on the dog. I am a dominant girl and typically don't immediately get along with a new dog. I will usually growl and seem unfriendly for the first few interactions so I need very slow interactions and patience. I have three other adult dogs in my foster home and I have had multiple scuffles with them in the first week that I have been here. I am usually the one to start these arguments. I am an extreme resource guarder with other dogs when it comes to food, treats, toys, and water and cannot share. If I am to live in a home with another dog there must be a meet and greet and slow introductions with each other and patience as I do not typically get along for the first while. It has been over a week in my home and I am okay with the dogs in the home now (foster mom manages the resource guarding). It might just be better for everyone's sake if I was the only pet in the household though, to make it easier.
I am up to date on all of my vaccinations and microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay contract to be completed at the appropriate time after my next heat cycle. I am ready to go home with you!

Breed: Siberian Husky Mix
Sex: Female
Age: 1.5 years
Cats: Yes - with caution
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes
Hi! My name is Nova2 and I am looking for someone who is always home and lives an active lifestyle! I was born on December 21 2021. I would ideally love a detached home with a fenced yard for me to run around in, but I am also used to being on a long tether to get my energy out.
I am a very loving and affectionate girl, so you can have no fear having me around your kids I like humans of all shapes and sizes, the more the merrier! As I do not like being left alone at all, a household with multiple members and/or working opposite shifts would be absolutely ideal if I do say so myself! I know my basic commands, but we could bond even more by doing additional training to help me work my brain and rest more contently. One area we could really work on together is my leash walking skills - I need a lot of work in this area!
I am house trained, but I am not crate trained. I am also very destructive via diging, scratching and chewing things when I am alone. I think I would do well with humans that work from home as well! My current family has gone to work for longer hours now, and it is not working so well for me anymore, so I need to find a new loving home ASAP please!
I was raised with a senior pug as a companion, and am said to be good with other dogs when properly introduced, so perhaps having a dog-friend at home would help alleviate my boredom and destructive tendencies. I was also raised with cats, but I have not been with cats for a bit since they have passed away, and am not good with chickens, so cats would need to be with caution and already dog-savvy.
I am up to date on all of my vaccinations. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay agreement to be completed at the apporopriate time following my next heat cycle. My adopter will be provided with an already registered microchip to have inserted by a veterinarian upon my adoption as I am not yet microchipped.

Name: Penny
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 9 years
Cats: Yes - see description
Dogs: No - see description
Kids: Yes, older
Hi everyone, my name is Penny! I was found as a stray by the SPCA, so my age is an estimate. I am definitely an older gal though. I am seeking a quiet home where I can be the center of attention as the only dog within the home. I would love a lower energy home and someone who is always around as being alone causes me quite a bit of anxiety. I am such a gentle and sweet girl though!! There has to be a home for me somewhere after searching for one for over a year now :(
Let me tell you about a few of my favourite things – I love to nap, I love to snuggle at night and I love following my humans around wherever they go! I really love taking my naps on my new dog bedor the sofa. I am a pretty chill girl, I like being outside, and would do well with a fenced yard and doggie door so I can come and go as I please without bothering you to let me in and out multiple times a day. I am often outside for several hours just laying and watching the world go by. I would be a great addition to a home where one of my new forever humans either worked from home every day, can take me with them to their office or with someone who was retired.
I am housetrained and I am starting to learn sit, stay and come. I am not crate trained, and do not like to be left alone in the house at all. I am the best cuddle buddy you could ever wish for and when you are working from home, I like to sleep by your feet, or close by. I absolutely adore being with people! I like meeting new human friends and I love it when they scratch behind my ears! I can be extremely vocal, especially when I’m afraid, anxious or I want to come in from the yard! It would be best if I went to someone who had a detached home so I could enjoy the outside and not really bother my neighbours if I got loud. I LOVE to howl/whine loudly for no apparent reason, at random times. VERY LOUDLY. I sometimes need to take trazodone to calm me down and decrease my volume. I love car-rides and just being with my people all the time!
I'm a very good walker and don’t pull on leash. I don't bark or growl at any dogs when I walk. As long as I am the one and only princess in the home, I am content. I can socialize with dogs outside of my home, but do not do well sharing my home with dogs. I like to resource guard my belongings, including my water bowl, from other pets in the home. I am currently in foster with a cat, however, I get jealous of the attention she receives and have had her in my mouth a couple of times. If I am to live with a cat, it would need to be a more independent cat than the one in my foster home - she thinks she is a dog!
One other note is that I have had idiopathic head tremors about once a month for a few months following my vaccinations, so I need to not have any more of those please. The tremors come back very occasionally after stress, but they pass on their own without intervention needed. I also have a mid-grade heart murmur. I am spayed and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

Name: Pola
Breed: Golden-Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 3 years old
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes (bonded with Meeshka)
Kids: Yes
Hi there! My name is Pola. I am part of a bonded pair. I am bonded with Meeshka. We are originally from a Northern Reserve community and spent two years in Honduras. So, we are well traveled. Unfortunately, my family can’t commit to our care anymore and just want what is best for us. Our family is working long hours and knows we need more attention than we are able to be given now. So, what can I tell you about me and my dog-sister, Meeshka?
So, I know I look like a Golden, but I come from a litter that is a Husky-Golden mix. I am said to be good with other dogs and I am good with kids, I currently live with some. I am crate trained but not always crated these days. I am used to being tethered and in fenced areas. I have been spending 10 to 12 hours alone, and would love it if someone was around more often. When left alone for periods of time I can be destructive. I am used to being reassured over a webcam and respond well. I would do well with someone who understands these behaviours and can work with me on this.
Like Meeshka, I love to run and swim and play. I can even dock dive! I am said to be very affectionate and loving. I even enjoy holding paws. A good cuddle is always nice once we have that kind of a relationship. I also love playing with Meeshka, we have a great time together and help to entertain each other. I enjoy playing with other dogs and am said to be well socialized.
I am looking for someone who would love to welcome me and my bonded dog-sister, Meeshka, into their home. Someone who wants to continue working with us, having fun and adventures. Lots of play and lots of love. Is that you? My family is hoping to have us rehomed as soon as they can so that we can have the wonderful lives they want us to have. Unfortunately, sometimes life circumstances come up that make it better for us canines to find new owners. We are loved, but our owner is going through some stuff and is looking to rehome us for our own benefit. Please help us find a new owner!
I am spayed 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 adoption as I am not yet microchipped.

Name: Rico
Breed: Alaskan Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 2 years old
Cats: Untested
Dogs: Yes - selective
Kids: No
Hello. My name is Rico, and I am a gorgeous Husky mix. I recently turned two years old. My birthday is December 13, 2020. My current family is struggling to meet my attention needs and really want what is best for me. I would like to find a confident and experienced owner. Someone I know I can trust and can continue with on my training and socialization. I have a lot of energy, given my young age, someone who can work with this energy level is a must. Like my breed is known to be, I am outgoing, smart, friendly, and high energy.
I do best with submissive dogs if I have a playmate because of my high energy level. I can also be a bit more dominate. I need a home with someone who can take me for long walks a couple of times a day and play with me. Lots of exercise will be important for me. If I get good exercise, I will be more relaxed. I am a very curious pup, and I can be startled by random noises and sounds like emergency vehicles going by. I also love playing in the snow, but what husky pup doesn’t, right? I am untested with cats and given my breed it would not be recommended. I have not lived with kids, but because I am nippy, I am best without children.
What else can I tell you about me? It has been noted that I can be a bit nippy, but I do not have a bite history and I would like to keep it that way. So, this is something to be aware of. I love playing with humans, but need to work on my dog manners to play appropriately. I have some quirks and can be picky. I can be picky with my toys, food, and treats. However, if I am hungry enough, I am suddenly not so picky. I also can be nippy during play. I need to learn that this is not usually appropriate behaviour, but I am still young so I can definitely learn. I know some commands and I am smart girl so I will continue to learn quickly if worked with.
I have been working on crate training and though I have had the occasional accident, I am getting better. I do have typical husky drama when first crated, and yes can be very melodramatic, but I settle fairly quickly. This would likely be worked out better if I could live somewhere with a more predicable schedule. I would do very well with a solid structured routine. There is so much more that could be shared about me, but why not fill out an application and meet me instead? I promise you will love me immediately.
I am spayed, up to date on my vaccinations, and microchipped. I am ready to go home!

Name: Tessa
Breed: Siberian Husky
Sex: Female
Age: 17 years
Cats: No
Dog: No
Kids: No
Hi everyone my name is Tessa. I am mellowing out in my older age, but I still very much need an EXPERIENCED forever human. I was born on May 30 2006. I am in rescue after my previous owner sold my house and left me there for the new home owners to rehome! How rude!! I have been in rescue care for 6 years now.
I am a lot of fun, however I am very unpredictable. Please, please do not ever touch my collar area! Please don’t pester me while I am eating/having a treat. Please muzzle me for grooming as it really annoys me. I am easily adaptable and quiet for the most part and lived in an apartment successfully for a brief period of time. I’ll happily give you adorable little woofs in conversation since I love having you around.
As I am 17 years old, I am having some mobility issues, so don’t enjoy walks like I used to. I am happy just to spend all my time in the yard and come inside and outside as I see fit. I am not good with other dogs, or even passing other dogs now as my vision is nearly gone. I am too unpredictable and sensitive to handling for children and have bitten them multiple times when they tried to catch me by my collar.
My favourite toys are balls. I can play by myself with a ball for hours, but I also like playing ball with humans too. Tennis balls don’t last me long, but hard rubber balls do well. They don’t even need to squeak or make noise, but it’s definitely a bonus if they do!
I love having people around, but I am a hands-off type of dog. I’m happy to be in your life, and happy to have you in mine. I just don’t like to be touched or restrained. A leash should be left on me at all times as well since when I am loose in the yard, I do not like to come when called and you will need something to grab in order to bring me back inside.
I am no longer house trained with my older age. I am crate trained, but only to the side door of a double door wire crate. There is just something about going in the end door of a crate that I don’t like. I am also non-destructive when left loose all day.
I am spayed and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you

Name: Violet
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 4 years
Cats:No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes
Hi there, I’m Violet and I am a very sweet, beautiful girl who is seeking a forever home. My age is a guess and is unknown. I am hoping not to last long and find a forever home to settle in and show you my best girl qualities! Apply to adopt me - you won’t regret it!
I am as sweet as my name suggests and am a true cuddle bug! I would love a forever home that will allow me to come up and cuddle on the couch with you and give you soft kisses! I will do just about anything for a treat, which is why I am currently on this thing called a ‘diet’. I need to lose weight to get to my best form. In fact, the crew that rescued me thought I was very pregnant, but my recent trip to the vet confirmed that I am just a little ‘husky’!
I do well with any dog I meet and enjoy playing with every dog when I am not busy following my nose around my new surroundings and learning about all the smells here in boarding. I am very adaptable and easy going, so there isn’t a worry about me. I have not met cats however, so will not be adopted to a home with cats to be on the safe side. I have met children and do well with them, so I can fit into just about any home environment!
Since I am treat motivated, teaching me new tricks and obedience commands will be easy. I am not the best at walking on leash as I do pull, but again, I am super smart and trainable, so teaching me leash manners should be a breeze as well! Let’s go on lots of walks together to buiild our bond through training, and help me shed these excess pounds as well!
I appear to be house trained as I am tidy in my kennel. I am believed to be crate trained as all the dogs in my past life lived in crates, but I have not been tested in one in boarding as of yet. I am gentle, quiet, and non-destructive in my kennel, so I should be fine in a crate as well! I would like to be crate trained when I get to my foster or forever home so that I am used to it when it comes time to my recovery from my future spay.
I am microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay contract. I am booked to be spayed on June 16 as I am currently in heat. I am ready to go home with you!
