Rogan is a sweetheart. He loves to play with toys, with people, with other dogs, and on his own. He can keep himself amused for hours. He does not play favourites, and will divide his attention fairly between each of his many toys. Rogan is not a barker, but he is a communicator. On occasion, he will “talk” to you explaining his thoughts. He is very adept at training humans to give tummy rubs, ear rubs and back scritches. He is a golden/husky/poodle mix. We estimate he is 10-12 months old and guess he will be about mid-fifty pounds when fully grown. He has lots of energy to play, run and explore, and lots of stamina too. His personality is dominant – definitely alpha. He is crate trained.
Unfortunately, Rogan did not have a good start in life. He had a restricted and stressful puppy hood. He came to us with a long-term ear infection in both ears, his ribs showing, and hyperactive. The ear infection has been treated, but he may require ongoing ear care to ensure the infection does not return. He is learning to leash walk, is eating normally now (but on a high calorie premium diet), is back to a normal weight, and has calmed down noticeably. His toilet training is progressing. We believe the stress during puppyhood triggered PICA. Since his PICA has improved somewhat, we hope that it is not a permanent condition. His owner did not take him to a vet, so we have started his first set of 3 puppy inoculations.
He will require an experienced owner - someone who can gently, quietly, and firmly manage a very alpha dog. Rogan’s happy enthusiasm is infectious. But his speed and exuberance would be overwhelming for small dogs or young children, and probably cats. His new home will require a fully fenced yard. Our strong preference is a home with a female dog who is older than Rogan, and of a similar high energy, and high stamina breeding. He would greatly benefit from a dog companion to run and play with him, and guide him.
If you can also guide him through the remnants of his initial bad experiences, you will be rewarded with a kind-hearted, dedicated, adventurous, and joyful companion.
Please note we only accept adopters who live in the GTA - Greater Toronto Area.

More about this rescue
We try to find the best possible home for each of our foster dogs. Applications are therefore not considered by sequence of arrival in our inbox. We are a small, registered non-profit in Ontario. All our staff are volunteers. All dogs are fostered in private homes. Adopters must live in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). Over the years we have collected sufficient dog items (e.g. crates, blankets, toys) that we do not request donations of these items. If you wish to help us, a financial donation to offset our ongoing costs (e.g medical) would be appreciated.
