Story
Jagger is an 8 year old border collie / husky cross. He is 60 lbs of short creamy white fur with a striking dappled red nose & ears. He has a truly goofy grin when he’s happy and his expressive toffee brown eyes make it hard to stay mad at him for any length of time. He is house trained and absolutely adores his crate. He often puts himself to bed in it if if his people are up past his bedtime. He also likes to nap on the couch. Jagger loves playtime, his absolute favourite toy is his tug rope. He’ll amaze you at how fast plush toys can be taken apart. However, he is very gentle with his rubber toys. He tends to get bored, so rotating his toys is a good idea. Outside he plays with a large rubber ball but has the typical husky attitude after a few throws of “if you lose it again it’s not my problem “. Jagger has never truly played with a Frisbee, but given the space would astound you at how high he can jump. He is very smart and learns quickly. He’s food motivated and knows sit, down, wait, look at me, with me, turn, and of course high five. Jagger leans more towards his husky side. He walks well on his gentle leader but still has a tendency to pull when distracted. He likes nothing better than to see new places, he occasionally gets car sick but this is solved by timing his meals accordingly. Jagger is fascinated by water but doesn’t want to be in it, he will avoid puddles at all costs and take you home if it starts to rain on a walk. He loves being around it and will bring you right to the water’s edge, just don’t try to make him go in. Jagger is dog reactive, and will bark and lunge when he sees other dogs. This is behaviour can lead to him redirecting on whoever is near. When unable to escape he does have some leash aggression, interpreting any movement towards him as a threat. He has been making great strides towards correcting this, and rarely reacts to neighboring dogs. He would benefit greatly from a course specializing in reactive dogs. Jagger is an absolute sweetheart. He’s a cuddly fun boy that would do well in a dog savvy home with a well fenced yard with people willing to provide the training that the high energy and northern breeds need. He needs a quiet adult home with no other pets and experienced owners. Jagger is available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue. The adoption donation is $400. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application. You can also reach us by email at GrandRiverRescue@hotmail.com.

Story
Millie has been our loyal and loving companion for over 6 years. Sadly, she no longer gets along with our other dog, and we now face the difficult task of finding her a new forever home. We acquired Millie from a Kijiji listing when she was just 6 weeks old. She’s a high-energy dog who would thrive on a property with a sizeable yard where she can roam and play freely. Being part Collie, Millie needs purpose. She thrives with daily long walks (at least 20 minutes) and engaging play sessions with her new owner—whether it’s fetch, tug, or using a flirt pole. Millie’s journey hasn’t been easy, and she’s faced some challenges, but she’s also made incredible progress. Her recent 7-week board and train program helped her learn how to regulate her nervous system, build confidence, and stay calm in public. Millie is the kind of dog who changes your life for the better. She’s an exceptionally loyal companion who loves with all her heart.

Great with Kids: Millie is incredibly loyal, especially with family. She's wonderful with children and loves being part of an active household. Anxiety and Special Needs: Millie has some anxiety and a high prey drive, which means she would do best either as the only pet in the home or with another dog that is calm, stable, and grounded.
