Story

M | 3 | Formosan Mountain Dog (FMD) | Neutered |UTD | Fostered in Barrie, ON Hi my name is Danny and I am 3 years old. I’m known as a FMD, Formosan Mountain Dog, who came all the way from Taiwan to be your new best friend. Foster mom says I am a special boy who needs lots of time and affection to feel safe in my new home. Upon meeting me, I come across as shy and occasionally aggressive, but I mean you no harm I’m just scared of strangers and new things. Once I bond with you, I will be by your side constantly and love to snuggle close to you on the couch or in bed. In my home there are lots of dog beds, but I prefer to be with you. I have lived with an older child previously and eventually I got used to him and loved him, but it is not recommended they be young due to my fears with loud noises and quick movements. If you have older, considerate children I`ll eventually grow to love them too. I love going for walks, I get so excited it`s hard for foster mom to get my harness on, which is recommended due to what they call a “flight risk”. Speaking of “flight risk”, I would like a fenced yard because I love to run, play and fetch the ball for you, oh how I love my ball, so a fence keeps me safe. I have lived with other dogs older than me and they didn`t really play with me too much. In my current foster home I have 3 fur siblings, 1 older and smaller, and 2 my age and size and like to play with them. I am ok to be an only dog, so I can have all your attention. When I do meet another dog, I need to be introduced to them slowly. I like dogs my size 35-40 lbs, it takes me longer to warm up to dogs bigger than me. I’m not sure how I feel about cats… My previous foster mother did not keep me crated and free fed me and I liked that. However, she did put me in a room of my own with chew toys, my Kong, and snuffle mat when she left the house. My current foster mom crates me during the day when she’s at work, and schedule feeds me and I’m learning to be ok with it. I reluctantly go in crate and don’t kick up any fuss. She leaves me a frozen peanut butter filled Kong and a tough chew toy and I just rest waiting for her to return. When she lets me out, I get so excited and jump all over her, another reason I probably shouldn’t have young human siblings, but I’m working on keeping my feet on ground. If you think I would make a good fit to your family, make sure to apply for me here: Adoption Information (hankshaven.ca) * Danny is being fostered in Barrie *Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 12, 2025, 4:21 pm

Story

FOSTER OR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT M | 4 | American Bully mix | Neutered | UTD | 74 lbs | Fostered in Burlington, ON If you want a dog that will love you from an inch away, he’s your guy. If you love walks, he’s your guy. If you want a dog who loves food as much as you do, he’s definitely your guy. Everybody comments on how handsome he is, and they are right! Griffin is a typical bully, loves his people, and is strong, smart & stubborn. Griffin currently lives with two cats and though he doesn’t bother with the one but will chase the other on occasion and is always closely monitored. He doesn’t know his size and is likely to knock over small children, so older children would be best. Griffin likes to protect his people and will bark and growl at strangers if they approach his person while he’s on leash. Allowing him to maintain his personal space and redirecting works well. Griffin is very dog selective and is leash reactive. Slow introductions are absolutely necessary with all dogs and he typically does better with female dogs and does not like unfixed males. When Griffin has decided he likes another dog he LOVES to play, he is like the energizer bunny and can play forever. Griffin is loyal to his pack, once he’s decided you’re in, you’ll be in forever. He is incredibly powerful and if you give him an inch he will take a mile. He needs a strong handler and someone who is willing and able to continue with his training and who can be consistent, he’s a very smart boy and highly food motivated! Griffin is currently working on impulse control and furthering his obedience. In his new home Griffin will need an outlet for his physical AND mental energy to keep him calm and happy. If interested in having Griffin join your family as either a foster or potentially a permanent resident, please apply here: Adoption Information (hankshaven.ca) Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 13, 2025, 12:45 pm

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

M | 7 | American Bulldog mix | Neutered | UTD | Fostered in North York, ON I am a cuddle bug who just wants to be with his people, a stage 5 clinger and follows foster mom everywhere all day and just wants to be wherever she is. I love to chill on the couch but when someone comes in the door, I get super excited and will jump up to greet you. I love all toys, especially balls, car rides, food and going for walks, though I am very strong and will pull. I am crate trained, though am so well behaved that my fosters don’t put me in it, but I do still need a crate as I use it as my safe place and somewhere to go when I need a break. I lost my first home when my human suddenly died, and the second home didn’t work out so this time I am looking for my furever home where I can retire and live happily ever after. Though I currently live with kids, I think a home without them or have older and respectful ones who know when to give me alone time is best. A human who is home often would be great and if there is another dog, a big one that likes to play hard and keep up is ideal, but I am fine without one as well. I need a quiet home with a strong handler who understand bullies and isn’t intimated by my personality. I need someone to snuggle and love me and to make me their whole world, is that too much to ask for?

River

Hound (Unknown Type)

Oro Medonte, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

River is a young Georgia Peach. She came to us after being rescued from a ditch, where people fed her for 3 weeks to gain her trust to be able to secure her. She is a timid but very loving girl, and has blossomed in the short time she has been in care. It turns out that River has a malformed leg, and hip dysplasia (in both hips), which may lead to her being in a wheelchair at some point in her life but for now she is happy and mobile. River's perfect home would have at least one other dog and to have humans with a lot of patience, time, love and affection for her as she takes her time to open up to them. Once she does, she is a stage 5 clinger so ideally someone who is home often would be great. Her favorite toy is a snuffle ball and favorite activity is cuddling and sleeping near her humans. Foster mom says River is the sweetest girl there is and anyone would fall in love with her. If you think you are the right home for River, make sure to apply for her here: www.hankshaven.ca/info/adoption.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 29, 2024, 9:44 am

Story

Hey there my name is Reign and I’m so excited to find my fur-ever home! I'm around 4 months old and a Manitoba mutt which means some sort of mix of Shepherd and Husky, but we will never know the exact mix! My foster parents say I’m a good boy who is eager to learn all the tricks and skills to be an amazing dog. I am still learning to go outside for my duties but am catching on very well, I just need to communicate a bit more when I want to go outside. I love to play with my foster brother Nikey and chase the kids around. But I also like to sleep and chill and play with my toys. I love ropes and hard chew toys the best. I LOVE food and will do pretty much anything for a treat. I'm a really cute fun loving guy who needs a home with parents who like to stay active and take me out for walks or even play outside. I’m pretty decent at fetch if I’m in the mood. If you think I'll be a great addition to your family, apply for me here: Adoption Information * Reign is being fostered in Coldwater.

Story

F | approx. 2 | Bulldog mix | Spayed | UTD | Dog and People friendly | Fostered in Orillia, ON Honey is pure perfection and her name suits her because of it. She is literally as sweet as Honey. She LOVES to cuddle and will try and curl as close to you/on you as possible. When she is with her people she has a permanent smile and you can’t help but smile too. She exudes pure joy in every aspect of her life now (she was pulled from the shelter not too long ago where she wasn’t thriving). She just wants to please her people - She is going to make someone very happy. Her foster mom thinks she’d excel as a sport dog. As long as she’s with us she will get to try out some sports with her foster mom. Her foster mom also had this to say about her, “If we didn’t have a cat and the cat didn’t hate her she would be staying. She is THAT perfect.” Dog friendly? Honey has had exposure to both small and big dogs. She can become reactive and mouthy so we feel she’ll do best with lower energy and balanced dogs. When playing with other dogs she should be monitored Honey IS reactive to other dogs she doesn’t know and needs proper introductions. She is unsure and that is where her reactivity comes from. We are working on her confidence building and socialization and she is becoming much better. Cat friendly? &#226&#157&#140 she has been exposed to a cat in her foster home and she displayed an intense prey drive and feel she would do best in a cat-free home Kid friendly? &#226&#157&#140 because of Honey’s prey drive and behaviour around things that move fast it is not recommended People and strangers Honey has met men and women and been fine. She is very friendly towards people and LOVES her people intensely. House trained &#226&#156&#133 Crate trained &#226&#156&#133 Honey is crate and house trained and has learned basic obedience. While she is with her foster she will continue to be exposed to other levels of training including clicker, pattern games and other confidence building games Honey loves to snuggle but will happily sleep in the crate and go in the crate when left home alone. Leash manners Honey walks well on a leash and is learning to manage her reactivity on leash quite well. Car rides? Honey is awesome in a car however due to her anxiety she does become heightened in new places. She is continually being exposed to new situations and places to help her through her anxiety. Honey is extremely food motivated and loves training. She also loves tug-of-war and de-stuffing stuffed animals (common terrier trait!) No food aggression or toy aggressive noticed Honey eats her meals and high value treats in her crate. She plays nicely with other dogs with toys Energy Level: She is a medium/high energy dog. She has a good “off” button but when she is ON she is on. She needs an experienced owner who understands the terrier breed, their needs and can ensure she stays safe and her needs are met and boundaries respected. **Honey has pretty severe allergies. When she came to us she was bald and splotchy. She is now strictly fed raw, no feathers and also receives an allergy supplement and is being weaned off of Apoquel. There is a chance she may have to stay on Apoquel, we won’t know until she is done being weaned** Honey is being fostered in Orillia - any potential adopters need to be able and willing to travel to Orillia for meet and greets https://www.hankshaven.ca/animals/browse?Status=AvailableVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 11, 2025, 4:20 pm
