My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Winter
~1.5 year old male
In foster care since: May 24th, 2024
Fostered in Dutton, Ontario
Adoption fee: 700
Meet Winter! Now one of our longest term residents, in foster care now for over 200 days. Winter is a young husky mix that will need a home that is understanding and willing to continue with his at home training.
Winter is a high energy dog seeking a high energy home. He would be a wonderful partner for an active person who is searching for a loyal dog. He would make an absolutely fantastic walking or running companion.
We rescued Winter from a shelter days before it was too late. Winter was excessive when we brought him in. It was evident that he had been given no boundaries as a puppy and probably had minimal training. Winter entered a board and train program shortly after his arrival. Training helped him so much and he was eager to learn. (BONUS: Winter’s adoption fee includes a 1-on-1 training session at Doggy Discovery Zone for his new family to learn how to best help Winter continue to be successful!)
Winter is a very smart boy. He will excel with someone that is committed to continuing work on his training. He has a great foundation, but will need some finessing to make him the perfect dog. He still has his days of destruction and will need to have someone that can give him rules and a routine. He is known to counter surf, so his home will need to understand that while he is learning his new routine, things will need to be kept out of the way.
He gets along with dogs, cats & children, having been fostered in a home with all of them. Winter loves to play with the daycare children who come through his home. He is still young and likes to play like a husky, so smaller dogs might not be his best friend. Because of his activity levels, we’d suggest a home with older or dog-savvy children only, as he may knock infants and toddlers over in his excitement.
Winter is house trained and crate trained. He goes into his crate every night at the end of the day. He will also go in on his own occasionally during the day when he needs a break. At night and when you are out of the house or can’t keep your eye on Winter, he will need to be crated because he still wants to get up to mischief.
He likes to chew and use his brain, so enjoys having a bone or playing with interactive toys. Give Winter a puzzle treat mat or a kong and watch his brain work out how to get his prize!
Winter has a lot of love to give to the right person. He loves to curl up on the couch with his people or his doggy foster siblings whenever he gets the chance. He’s known around here as being just a little bit quirky, and we just know the right person is out there looking for a dog just like him.
Winter is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
