Sex: Female
Age: 1.5 years old

Dogs: Yes - selective
Kids: Untested
Hello. My name is Ashoka, and I am a gorgeous Husky mix with icy blue eyes. I have a very soft white coat with brown markings. I was originally found as a stray in downtown Dallas and adopted. So, my birthday is unknown, but I am definitely young. Like my breed is known to be, I can be outgoing, smart, friendly, and I am high energy. I am untested with cats and given my breed it would not be recommended, unless with a very dog savvy cat. I am untested with kids but I could be good with older children given my energy level. My current family doesn’t have the time available to meet my attention needs, so I would like to find a confident and experienced owner. Someone I know I can trust and can continue with 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.
I would really appreciate a fenced in yard and maybe other high energy dogs to play with. I am better with dogs with a similar energy level to me. 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 and listen better. If I do not get my energy out, then I have some bad habits you might see. I can be destructive. I am very affectionate, and I love to play fetch. I also love a good belly rub. I am very athletic too, so some dog specific activities or sports would be fun too.
What else can I tell you about me? I have one reported bite, but no details have been provided. It is something to be aware of. True to my breed I like to communicate. I am a great talker. I bark and howl and tell you I want attention. With work and enough of your time I will likely be able to be quieter when you would like me to be. However, this means that a detached house would probably be better for me. I am used to being an indoor pet too.
My current family is hoping that I can find a foster or adopter by March 2023. They have some changes coming and really want me to be cared for properly and provided with lots of time. I should also tell you that I am potty trained, and crate trained. I am scheduled for to go in to be spayed in January. I am also not even an escape artist; I know I am a pretty great catch.
I am up to date on my vaccinations and my spay is booked for January. 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. I am ready to go!

Name: Juneau
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female

Cats: Unknown
Dogs: Yes - MANDATORY
Kids: No
Hey, my name is Juneau, and I am searching for an experienced forever home to call my own. I’m the sweetest thing, but I haven’t had the easiest life. I have spent most of it in an outdoor kennel and have not been around too many humans. My forever home needs to have experience in fearful, timid and scared dogs. I need an experienced owner who will be patient with me and help me build confidence in myself and learn to trust. I also need at least one other dog in my home.
My new home will have to have a minimum 5-foot-high fence, and be quiet with no kids and have implementations in place to prevent door barging. Attached housing like apartments or condos would also be great! I don’t mind being petted, but please approach slowly as I don’t trust you yet. It’s imperative that I remain leashed indoors and out for at least the first month, possibly longer until I am settled in as I am a flight risk. I will hide in my house if something scares me, and I do try to back out of my collar if I am panicking. Crate training is underway. I love to swallow toys and small objects, so pet insurance is recommended in case peroxide doesn’t bring up what I consume.
Although I am a lot more social than the rest of the dogs from my batch, I have more to learn! Once I start to trust you though, I am going to form a strong bond! I am a tiny bit of a bite risk if scared, but a lot less than the others! I have not bitten, and was even rescued from a bad leash tangle shortly after arriving at the kennel without incident. I am screaming with potential! I am quiet until I see you, and then I talk to you in excitement and the prospect of going outside!
I’m good with other dogs and would need a friendly dog in my new home to help me adjust, gain confidence, and to learn from. Right now, I don’t know any commands, but hopefully when I’m confident enough and can trust, I will. I am very treat/food motivated, so should train up quickly. Watch your finger though! I like to snatch treats and have not learned to be gentle. I have not been around cats, but after seeing the one here at the kennel, I don’t think that would be a good idea. I have not been around children, and due to the treat snatching, my love for swallowing inappropriate objects, and my bite risk when in a panic, although minimal, I should not be in a home with children.
I am spayed, up to date on my vaccinations and I have been microchipped. I am ready to go!

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.

Name: Legacy
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 2 years
Cats: Maybe
Dogs: Yes - mandatory
Kids: Yes, older
Hello! My name is Legacy, and I am about 2 years old. I am seeking a secure home where I will be kept safe from escaping. Ideally, I would love to be in an apartment or condo building where there are several doors between me and my way out, but I will consider experienced homes with securely (and tall!) fenced yards and that will follow my double/triple leash protocol.
I know some of you have been following my journey. It seems as though my early years in life weren’t the best. When I was rescued I was so nervous, but I have never shown any signs of aggression, I am just nervous. I’m in my foster home now and my foster parents are trying their best to get me used to being a dog and showing me not all things in life are scary. I come out of my shell a little when they want to cuddle or give me a treat.
I love going outside with my foster siblings; they make me feel more safe and comfortable, but when they get loud and bark, it scares me a little. I need a family with another low/medium energy dog to help boost my confidence and humans that will be very patient with me; all I need is patience from my forever family. I have not met any cats, so lets not go there please. I have not met children, but may be ok with older once that understand to always always always watch surroundings and close the door behind them.
I am a couch potato and love sleeping and being cozy on the couch, I feel the most safe there. Luckily for you I am crate trained and quiet as a mouse - I eat my food in my crate and sleep in there all night;, it’s a safe space for me. I do know how to give a paw, but I am a bit nervous to do so, so again this is where patience is my best friend! I don’t have much interest in toys right now because I am so nervous but I am getting curious about objects in the home.
I will let out a quiet whine when I am thirsty or have to use the bathroom, because I’m a little nervous to go to the door or the bowl myself. I have had accidents when first rescued, but that has improved. My foster mom keeps my leash on me inside because I am a flight risk and she will help me over to the bowl to show me it is okay to do myself! I am getting more confident and slowly learning to do little things like that on my own. When I’m outside I must be double leashed and ACCOMPANIED AT ALL TIMES but don’t let that fool you, I still love to chase a ball and do my jumps because I’m excited, especially after I’ve gone potty I get a little frisky and want to play! If I am left outside by myself and no one is holding my long 30’ leash, I go into flight mode and will do anything in my power to escape. I do not want to be on the loose for a month (or more) again, please! Security is imperative.
I am spayed, up to date on all of my vaccinations, dewormed and microchipped. 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.

Dogs: Yes

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.

Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 1 year old
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Hi there, the name s Maui and I am about to turn 1 year old. I was born on May 10 2021. I am here seeking a home with no other pets quickly please. My humans love me, however my behaviour towards other animals has the trainier recommending my rehoming. I need an active, experienced and dedicated home. Ideally, my home with have a fenced yard.
I am not an escape artist, and I am house trained. I have been crated in the past, but will likely need a refresher if I am to be crated. I am a playful and cuddly girl, however I am a resource guarder. I will guard people, food, beds, etc., which makes living in a home with other pets a big issue. I am seeking an adopter that is experienced with resource guarding, and that is willing to hire a trainer to help me with this while I am the only pet in the home.
I am great with humans, but I am energetic. I need a home that will help me burn off my energy and further my obedience knowledge. I already know how to sit, shake a paw, lay down and give kisses. It is a start, but there is so much more I can learn! Let’s go outside together and bond over training in my favorite environment.
I have not been raised with children. Given that I am energetic and a resource guarder, it is best that I not live with children. Young guests would likely be fine however; as long as my human is observant and is willing to monitor both myself and children together while we get to learn each other. I need to reiterate again that I am not good with other dogs! And please, no cats either.
If you can offer me a home and work with me, I promise to be your friend forever. You won’t regret welcoming me into your home! I am not used to being left alone at all, so it would likely be an adjust period there, but I am willing to give it a try if you are! Please consider giving me a home to improve my mental health by removing me from a home with too much stimulation.
I am up to date on all of my vaccinations. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay agreement to be done at the appropriate time as determined by SMART. My adopter will be provided with an already registered microchip to have inserted by their veterinarian upon my adoption if not done before adoption. I am otherwise ready to go home immediately!

Age: 3.5 years
Cats:No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes, older
Hey there! I am the very adorable Maya! I am just the sweetest girl and hope I will not be here too long! I am energetic since I am still young, so an active home is best for me please. I would prefer a home with another dog. I can be adopted with or without my son, Ace. I am a pretty typical Siberian Husky.
I am good with other dogs, although I am dominant when I play. Younger, similar size dogs and more tolerant dogs would be best for me - ideally another husky! I grew up in a household with a male husky and then my son, so I am dominant and will push other dogs away from my son. I do get anxious when my son leaves without me, but we are also ok separated after the initial anxiety. You could think of me as the schoolyard bully. I have not been around cats, but given my breed, I am likely best without cats please.
I LOVE all humans. I do have manners, but keep in mind that I am young and energetic, so I might accidentally knock little ones down. I do not mean harm - only love! I show no aggression towards anyone. I would need to meet my new family, including resident dogs to ensure a good fit.
I am in a boarding environment, so my assessment is as accurate as possible for that environment. I appear to be house trained and never make a mess in my kennel. I have not yet been in a crate, but should be crate trained for your absences from home. If Ace and I are adopted together, and Ace needs to leave home without me, then I would definitely be best being crate trained. I have been a proper lady while here at the kennel, but I may be different in a home environment.
I would be best in a home with a fenced in yard to help me have the space and security needed to play with my friends and burn off this energy I have being a young husky! If my son and I are adopted together, we don’t need existing dogs within the home, but if I am adopted by myself, I need another tolerant dog in my home please.
I am spayed, up to date on all of my vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

Name: Molly
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 11.5 months
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes, older
Hi there! I’m Molly, but my foster mom calls me Miss Molly or Molly Dolly. I was born on December 30 2021. I am looking for a home that is patient and will give me time to settle in and adapt to new people. I would be best in either a home with a fenced in yard or an apartment building where escape is less likely.
Once I am settled in and comfortable, I’m a sweet girl that just loves to snuggle on the couch with you. If having a dog on the furniture is not your thing, I also enjoy a nice comfy dog bed and since I’ve been crate trained, I will sometimes just relax in my crate with the door open since it is a safe place. I love to be loved and petted; sometimes I am vocal so you never forget I am there. I am a little skittish at first, especially with new people and sometimes startle easily and sometimes I bark at the wind. I need to have a long lead on when I am outside until I am comfortable as with my fears, I am hard to catch to bring inside.
I am a very sweet puppy and love to play with other dogs. I do well sleeping in my crate and am quiet unless startled. 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 love people and food; I do eat rather quickly, so a slow feeding dish may be beneficial. In my foster home, I met a 10 yr old child 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 I know which is something I know I have to work on. Older kids would likely be best.
I play fairly rough with other large dogs in the yard. I haven’t been introduced to small dogs or cats as far as foster mom knows, so a meet and greet would be best if I am to live with other dogs. Please, no cats. I don’t always signal my fosters that I need to go out to do my business, but we have a good routine and I am doing so very well! Adequate exercise and time for doing my business outside before bedtime is a must. As I am only a young pup, I am learning my manners every day. Foster mom says I am such a good girl already! I can be left long hours in my crate, so working away from home is perfectly fine!
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.

Hi there, my name is Mya and I am in need of a forever home please! I was born on December 14 2020, and have already been in 3 homes and 2 foster homes, so I really need a home that understands my breed and energy level please so that I am not shuffled yet again! I am in need of structure and training for sure, but I want to be a good girl. Please help me! My first owner was 73 years old, so did not train me, and then my other homes were not experienced, but took me in to save my life. The same as my foster homes! I thank these last 4 homes, but it is time I land permanently somewhere!
I am not house trained unfortunately, and I always pee indoors no matter how long you walk me. One of my previous homes thought it was a good idea to cave into my behaviour and provide potty pads, so I haven’t learned that outside is for potty. I am not fully crate trained, but crating me did work to stop my peeing in one of me previous homes. Let’s continue this, please.
I am a young gal with no structured home or training as of yet, so I only know basic commands like sit; and only when treats are involved. I have also not been properly socialized around other dogs, so I do not know how to act accordingly and thus need a dog-free environment. I need a home without cats as I have been cat-tested for a couple of weeks and it is not getting any better. I need a child-free home as well as I am very jumpy and use my mouth to greet new people. I have no manners afterall.
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. I will need a secured fence and an attentive owner please. I am also a bit of a resource guarder and will guard high value items - particularly objects that I find and think belong to me. I have not bitten as a result, yet, but the potential to do so is definitely there. Please be mindful of this and don’t give up on me while I learn what is and is not appropriate.
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. Being bounced around again is not an option - serious, forever homes only apply!
I am spayed and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you now!

Name: Nymeria
Breed: Alaskan Malamute mix
Sex: Female
Age: 2 years
Cats: No
Dogs: No
Kids: No
Hey my name is Nymeria. A big name with a personality to match. I’m searching for an experienced home that wants a fun-loving, highly treat motivated girl! I am looking for an active home that I accept and has malamute experience. A home that won’t give up on me as I have now had 4 failed adoptions I am seeking a home with a single person please.
I’m a girl that would love a yard with a fence minimally 5ft high. I LOVE the snow and LOVE to run and play. I will dive in the snow head first and will try to catch snowflakes in the air. I also really enjoy running after a ball and will even throw it around myself. I am not good with other dogs, so I need to be the only pet please. I have met a cat and it didn’t go well with my prey-drive, so let’s not go there please!
I am a smart girl with a strong mind. Someone with experience and who knows how to give me respect is a must. Please no first-time owners. It is also recommended that a few meet and greets occur before I go home with you since I can be selective of my humans. Slow progress and not trying to force me into situations too fast is key.
When I trust you, I will show equal respect back, will listen to direction and will not show food/toy possession. It takes me a bit to warm up, for that trust to build, and I prefer not to be handled when I am grumpy. When I do not trust you; I will challenge you and there will be growling and the probability of nipping/biting. I give lots of warning so you should pay attention. It is mainly a lack of socializing and trust issue so I need someone who will meet me halfway after understanding who I am. Once we figure out how to mesh well, I am playful, will make you laugh as I am a goofball and will stick close to you to feel safe. I have lots of energy - I come with husky-level zoomies! I do severely guard my resources, and even the room or area I am in, if I do not trust you. I have bitten several times over this.
Treats are my favourite. And I listen instantly when I notice one. I am smarter than most know: I am house trained, I know how to sit, down, come, stay, paw, and how to walk nice. I like my crate when you are home, but a not a fan of being in the crate when you’re not home… yet. I need someone who will be consistent with my leash manners and general obedience, as I will test my boundaries and your determination daily. I am highly treat motivated and will do ANYTHING for food.
I was raised in a home with several children. However, I will not be placed in a home with children. A child in the home grabbed me while I was trying to exit an opening in the fence, and I bit the child. I have also bitten several more times surrounding resources in the last several months. I have bitten in my stubborn-ness as well. In my last foster home, I have shown no aggression/possession. However, around new people I do not know/trust, I have shown guarding behaviour and my warning signs. I need a very experienced and dedicated person that I accept.
I am spayed, up to date on my rabies vaccination, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

Name: Panda
Breed: Siberian Husky x Karelian Bear Dog
Sex: Female
Age: 9 months
Cats: Unknown
Dogs: Yes - see description
Kids: Yes, older
Hey there! I am the very adorable Panda! I am not sure of my exact breed mix or age, but I am believed to be a Karelian Bear Dog and Siberian Husky mix! I exhibit traits and characteristics as well as appearance of both breeds. Please do your research! I am able to go home in mid-August as I am currently in my first heat cycle, but am accepting applications now!
I am an amazing girl overall, but I do have a couple of quirks and behaviour traits that require an experienced adopter. I am shy at first when I meet new people and other dogs, but I do warm up quickly. Please don’t be alarmed if I am not my typical cuddly self for the first few days while I get my bearings. I am cuddly when I am comfortable - I promise! I love to snuggle up on the couch with you and watch a movie. I would be best in a home with other dogs to continue building up my confidence and get my socialization. However, the other dogs need to be tolerant of resource guarding as I like to guard my toys, treats and bones from other dogs. Other dogs in the home need to know how to teach me not to do this. I have not yet met a cat, but given my breed mix it is not recommended.
I am crate trained, but would rather snuggle on the couch. I am house trained and have not had a single accident in my foster home! Although I am shy, I do warm up to people quickly and show my energetic, fun-loving AND my cuddly sides! I am just a doll once I trust you! I do need to keep a leash on both inside and outside, especially for the first month or so while I adapt as I have a tendency to run and also not come inside when I am supposed to due to my fear. I like to mouth you when I am excited, but I do not have a bite history. I would be best with no children or older children and a meeting is required. I will also lift my lip and show my teeth in fear initially before I warm up to you, so older children that understand dog cues are best if I have to live with children. Also, with my fear, I can be a door barger, so humans need to be mindful around doors to keep me safe!
I am up to date on my DHPP and bordetalla vaccinations and microchipped. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay agreement to be completed when I am of a more appropriate age and settled into my home.

Name: Penny
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 9 years
Cats: No
Dogs: Selective - see desciption
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 home where I can be the center of attention as the only pet 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.
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 bed but if you don’t mind me sharing the sofa, I will love to nap and snuggle there too. I am a pretty chill girl, I like going for a longer walk once a day, or a couple of shorter ones. I’m not picky, as long as I get outside for a bit and can smell my way around the neighbourhood, I’m happy. 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 think I’m learning my commands a bit better now because I am also starting to respond to my name! I am not crate trained but my foster family is trying again with me because I’m so calm around the house, they think that maybe I might be ready because I feel safe. 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 vocal, especially when I’m afraid, anxious or I want to come in from the yard! I have been speaking more to my foster family, especially when it’s breakfast or dinner time – we have quite the conversation! 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. (Did I mention that I really enjoy napping and resting during the day?)
I love my daily walks and get excited, but overall I'm a very good walker. I don't bark or growl at any dogs when I walk, and my foster family are very impressed. 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 would be fine frequenting the dog park, and since I am non-reactive to other dogs on walks, I am not a challenge in a city environment as I walk well on leash but until my anxiousness is gone, I will howl. Once I know that you won’t leave me, I’m so chill! I have not been around cats, but have seen one a couple of times and was pretty driven towards getting to the cat.
One other note is that I have idiopathic head tremors about once a month. As of yet, they do not require medication, and there is no known cause other than my extreme anxiety. I was taking medication for the anxiety in hopes of stopping the tremors. The tremors are minor and don’t affect my life other than for a few minutes when they occur. On a positive note, my foster family has weaned me off the anxiety medication and hasn’t seen any negative side effects from doing so – they have only seen good things! They keep telling their friends that my personality is coming through, that I’m a good girl and that I haven’t had any tremors! I think being the only dog in the house, and being around bigger kids has helped me feel calm and my anxiety is almost all gone.
I am spayed, up to date on my dhpp and bordatella vaccinations and have been dewormed. I am ready to go home with you!

Breed: Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age: 1.5 years old
Cats: No
Dogs: No (see bio)
Kids: Yes
Hello, my name is Pipe2r! I am estimated to be 1-2 years old I am an energetic, sweet little girl who loves to love! I am seeking any home where I am the center of attention as the only pet please!
I love people and go out of my way to get affection and pets from everyone around me. I’ll jump on your bed every morning, waking you up with kisses and snuggles. I also love car rides! I travel amazingly well and don’t say a peep in transit. You will only know I am there if you open a snack. I love my food! I do not, however, love other dogs or cats, so my only caveat is I need to be the only pet please.
I am also very smart! I know come, sit, stay, and paw. I love trying to learn new tricks and I am very responsive to praise and treats. I am working on my leash etiquette and learning not to jump on every new person I meet. I can’t help it, I just love people! I’m still a young pup so I need a home that will stick with me and teach me right from wrong. I love puzzles and enrichment toys that keep me entertained and my brain occupied. I will settle down to take a nap when there’s nothing to do so don’t worry about me destroying your favourite pair of shoes out of boredom.
I am fully housetrained and can be left alone at home, free to roam around without getting into trouble. However, I am still learning not to counter surf, so it’s best that all food is cleared from tables and counters when you’re not around. I love to play and will keep myself entertained as long as I have lots of toys. I do like to mouth hands and arms when playing, so I need someone who will teach me to be gentle as I’m still young and learning my own strength. Otherwise, I am a sweet and gentle girl. So far I have been great with children, I love to give them kisses and get belly rubs from them! I would do well in a home with children as I’d love their energy and attention. I am not a fan of my crate and am vocal when crated. I am otherwise quiet except the odd husky-conversation, so I am fine for attached housing!
I am up to date on my DHPP and bordatella vaccines. I will be adopted on a strict non-breeding and spay agreement to be done in 2 months as I am just coming out of heat. I hope to be microchipped before adoption, but if not, my adopter will be provided with one to have inserted by their veterinarian upon my adoption. I am ready to go home with you!

Name: Powder
Breed: Siberian Husky mix
Sex: Female
Age:5 months
Cats: No
Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes
Hello! I’m Powder, but my mom calls me Pow Pow! I am currently 5 months old and looking for a new home that could accommodate my high energy! I was born on June 18 2022 and would love a new home before the end of the year please!
If you are an active person and looking for a running buddy; that would be me! I love going for walks and runs, and ideally my new home would have a fenced in yard to let me run around or bring me out for a walk or run a few times a day. Did I mention I am also a frequent visitor to the dog park? I am good at socializing with new dogs and meeting new humans. Sometimes I do get a little too happy and forget my size, but overall I am a very gentle puppy that would give you lots of love. Being a puppy, having another dog as my sibling would be preferred to help build up and maintain my social skills. Preference will be given to applications with existing social dogs so that I can have the best start to life imaginable. There is no teacher like another dog!
I am almost house trained and am typically left alone at home up to 5 hours a day. Although I’m just a puppy, I am not destructive whatsoever and could be left free roaming in the house when I’m alone. I’m a really good girl! I have recently gone through a training program and know some basic commands like sit and lay down. I am learning how to play with buttons too!
When I am inside, I typically want attention from you. I am a kisser and a big cuddle buddy. I am not vocal and would rarely talk back to you! I might whine a little bit if I am left alone however I do calm down easily. I am currently not crate trained, though it shouldn’t be much work to teach me since I’m still a puppy and would adapt to new things fairly easily. I’m however a typical husky with prey-drive, which is another reason I’m seeking a new home. I have seen a cat before, and have displayed high prey-drive by chasing him consistently. It would be best for me to be in a home without a feline friend.
I am up to date on my vaccinations. 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, London or Hamilton, or a partial rebate can be issued if booked at your vet after I am 1 year old. My owner will be provided with an already registered microchip to have inserted by their veterinarian upon my 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!
