Story
A young shy dog! She is looking for an experienced calm quiet home with an active structured lifestyle. She needs to build up her confidence in her world so will require a basic manners class or private training class to help her build confidence and bonding with her new family. She will need a fenced backyard and daily leash walks. We do not recommend off-leash parks until she has learned a recall, bonded with her new family and built some confidence.

Story
Age: 2 yearsWeight: 33.5 kg / 73.9 lbA bit about Ginger:- had lived with kids; limited information; kids okay but all interactions should be supervised- unknown history with cats; introductions should be slow and supervised- select dogs okay pending successful introductionGinger is a sweet young lady whose favourite things in life include sitting in laps and really loud squeaky toys! She loves to make new friends, although it can take her some time to fully trust! Once she trusts you, watch out! Ginger loves to through herself into your personal space for cuddles, and doesn`t seem to realize how much she weighs! Ginger has lived happily with another dog before, and may do well with your pup. She has also lived with kids, and would love some new buddies as long as they are big enough that she won`t knock them over!

Story
Age: 3 yearsWeight: 19.3 kg / 42.5 lbA bit about Emory:- unknown history with kids; all interactions should be supervised- limited history with cats; introductions should be slow and supervised- dogs okay pending successful introEmory`s foster family tells us that he is 1/2 adventure buddy and 1/2 couch potato! He`s up for anything, whether that be a hiking or skiing adventure, or a lazy day cuddling on the couch! This cuddle bug is comfortable in a crate and working hard on his skills like sit, down, shake and wait. If you have a dog friendly office, Emory wouldn`t mind hanging out with you at work too! Best of all, Emory`s foster family reports that he did well with their resident cat, and may do well with other dogs too! Sadly for Emory, he`s not too comfortable with the shelter life, so he hopes you`ll come meet him soon and bring this angel boy home!
