Story
Hi, I’m Bella, and my journey has been quite a ride. In July 2022, I was found in pretty rough shape—neglected, abused, and beaten. Thanks to the incredible response from EARS and my foster home, I started to heal and even thought I’d found my forever home shortly after. Unfortunately, after I was adopted, I was moved from place to place and ended up abandoned, injured and in need of rescue once again. Mid-April 2024, I was saved by EARS and returned to a foster home. With the love and care I’ve received, I’m making great strides in my physical and mental health. Under the gentle care of my current temporary foster, I’ve blossomed into a vibrant and playful 2 year-old pup. At a lean 65 pounds, I’m energetic and love long walks and runs. I’m starting to show my true colours, engaging warmly with my foster family and displaying a strong sense of loyalty. While I may still be hesitant around new people, especially the veterinary staff, I’m slowly gaining confidence and learning to trust. Unfortunately my time with my temporary foster family came to an end and I find myself at a boarding kennel. I’m now looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt family who can offer a nurturing environment where I can acclimate to new experiences and people at my own pace. If you have a loving home and the patience to help me continue my transformation, I’d love to meet you and show you just how special I can be.

Story
Greetings! I'm Whiskey, a strong-willed 4-year-old canine who values personal space, particularly near food. However, I have an affection for children and enjoy playing with small stuffed toys. After a year of boarding with K-9 Outcomes, I am ready for a new home. My recall is exceptional, and while I am not bothered by other dogs during outings, I prefer to keep them at a distance from my pen and food. As a potential watchdog, I would excel in an acreage setting. If you seek a loyal companion, I may greet you with a stuffed toy in my mouth 🧸🐾💙

Story
Hi, I’m Roo, a 2.5-year-old bundle of energy with a big heart and even bigger athletic abilities! I’m a spirited girl who’s mastered the art of jumping 8-foot fences—don’t worry, though, I never stray far from home. With the right leash training and socialization, I know I can channel my enthusiasm into being an amazing companion. I’m playful and affectionate with my people, especially when they’re patient and kind (I’ve got a soft spot for female handlers). Small animals aren’t really my thing, but if you’ve got an acreage where I can stretch my legs and learn to perfect my recall skills, I’ll be in my element. While farm life isn’t quite my style, I’d love a home where I can enjoy outdoor adventures and bond with my humans. If you’re looking for an athletic, loyal, and loving partner to share your space and your heart, I might just be your perfect match!

Story
Hi, I’m Linda! A fun, energetic, and sassy girl, a little over 2.5 years old, who’s always ready for cuddles and playtime. Whether it’s a game of fetch or just some good old belly rubs, I’m always up for some action! I’m working on not jumping or being too pushy, but I promise I’m getting better every day. I’ve also been doing great with crate training and have proven that I can handle being on my own in the house. Free range, baby! I’m housebroken and know some basic commands (though I do have a bit of selective hearing when I’m distracted – typical, right?). I’d love to join an active household where I can get all the exercise I need to burn off my energy. I get along well with other dogs, though I prefer to eat in peace, so a separate feeding area is best. I’m not too sure about cats or kids yet, but I’m open to meeting new friends. If you’re looking for a sassy, snuggly, and playful companion, I might just be the perfect match! Let’s get together and see if we’re a good fit!
