My name is Andes - Stratford!

Meet Andes, a lively large mix puppy with an endless supply of energy! Andes is destined to grow into a big dog and is looking for a family committed to helping him learn and thrive.

~ Andes is looking for a home with a single person, couple, or family with teenaged children.
~Andes is currently in need of some guidance to develop good manners. He requires a family ready to work on basic obedience, leash skills, crate training, house training, and socializing. His vocal personality makes him better suited for a home without shared walls to maintain harmony with neighbors.
~ Andes needs a home that will continue to work with his unwanted behaviours. He struggles with touch sensitivity, resource guarding, and reactivity towards other animals.
~ Due to Andes' young age, we require his new family to sign up for 3 mandatory in-person positive reinforcement training sessions before he leaves the shelter. This will ensure Andes gets the best possible start in his new home. If you're ready to embark on the exciting journey of raising Andes into a wonderful companion, submit an application for him today!
