Story

Meet Ginn (short for Ginger) – a stunning 2.5-year-old male Husky with beautiful blue eyes and a heart full of love! Ginn's original parents had to leave the country, and I’ve been fostering him for a few months. Unfortunately, due to my travel plans, I can’t keep him but he’s a lovely boy looking for his forever home! About Ginn: ✔ Neutered, healthy, and fully up to date on vaccinations ✔ Potty trained & house trained – no accidents, no destructive behavior ✔ Crate trained – feels safe and secure in his crate ✔ Loves to play tug & is very affectionate – he’ll be your best friend in no time! ✔ Great for a home with space – A home with a fenced yard would be preferred. Ideal Home: Ginn just needs a family who loves her and wants to cuddle and play. He does not like to be crated alone and would like to lay on the couch when home alone. What Comes with Ginn: He comes with all his belongings, including his crate, toys, grooming kit, and more—everything his original parents left for him.

TOAST

Border Collie Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Male, Adult

Barrie, ON

Size

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

Details

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

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.TOAST arrived in rescue just in time for New Year’s celebrations from the Fort Hope Northern community. He previously had an owner which shows in his lovely calm personality. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and been given a clean bill of health by his vet. We have no knowledge of his parents so his breeds are just a guess based on what we figure he looks like. He’s full grown so we know that’s the size he’ll be give or take a pound or two. He’s a relatively calm dog and is very sweet with people. TOAST is house trained and crate trained. He sleeps well in his crate at night and will also take naps in there during the day. He walks well on his leash but would benefit from some training in that direction. He enjoys playing with his dog toys and also having a bone to gnaw on. He’s fostered in a home with 2 female dogs and they get along really well so would suit a home with another one. He has done well with all the dogs he’s met on his walks except that is, an unneutered male that he met. He became very vocal with him and wanted to be dominate but there were no issues seeing as both dogs were leashed. He’s not a fan of puppies and doesn’t appreciate their puppy antics around him. TOAST would love to have an active family that likes to go on adventures, long walks and hikes in the woods. He can be stubborn as he knows what he wants and he is also a counter surfer. His foster is working on this with him and she said he’s getting better and she also makes sure she doesn’t leave any food laying around for him to get his paws on. He’s in a foster home with a very dog savvy 5yr old and he’s very gentle around her so would suit a home with children but they should be aged 6 and up. He does require a fenced yard so he can play outside and run around safely. We strongly recommend that his new owner meet with a trainer to do some fine tuning with him and work on his leash skills. It will help to form a bond with him and his new owner plus turn him into an all round great dog. If TOAST sounds like a dog that will fit into your family then please submit an adoption application to meet him.

Special Needs

ZICO

Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier

Male, Adult

Barrie, ON

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

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

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.ZICO was surrendered to the rescue through no fault of his own and searching for his forever family. He’s neutered, vaccinated including his rabies shot, microchipped and been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. Don’t let his small size fool you as he loves to be active and be out and about on walks in the neighbourhood and hikes the on the trails. Although he’s a busy guy he also likes to snuggle up and be a lap pup but this will only happen if he’s been tired out from his long walk or an active day. ZICO is crate trained and housetrained. He loves to go on walks and walks well with his harness on. He hasn’t been socialized with other animals at all and will bark and carry on when he sees other dogs, he doesn’t want to go after them but is basically telling them to stay away from him. He is fostered with another dog and also a cat but he still barks at them so we’re recommending he not be in a home with either unless his adopter is prepared to have a trainer work with him to teach him they mean him no harm but rather just want to say hi. ZICO’s ideal home is one that is active but quiet. He needs his long walks and hikes to burn off his Yorkie energy and he wants to be part of a family that will take him everywhere with them including family adventures. He’s just a young guy and he knows there’s lots he wants to do and see still. He has lots of typical Yorkie behaviour so his new owner does need to be breed experienced. He’s a destructor of toys and only the toughest, hardiest ones survive his company such as Kong toys and very sturdy plastic ones including Nyla bones. Due to him not being in a home with children or ever having met any we are recommending they be 12 years of age and up. He’s also best suited to a home with a fenced yard so he can run around and play safely outside. If ZICO sounds like he’ll fit in with your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him.

BRANSTON

Golden Retriever

Male, Adult

Barrie, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.BRANSTON finds himself in rescue and looking for his new home through new fault of his own. He’s neutered, vaccinated including a rabies shot, taken Dolpac, had a 4DX blood test and a urine test results of which will be discussed in the phone interview with successful applicant. He’s a loving, wonderful boy who just loves to be with his people and will follow you around wherever you go. He has a little stuffie that’s a cow and he likes to carry it around with him and also put his chin on it when he has a nap. BRANSTON is housetrained and will cry at the door when he has to go out for the bathroom. He doesn’t use a crate due to his age but can be trusted to be left alone as he’s never gotten into anything in his foster home. He’s a strong big boy so his new owner would have to be strong enough to take him on his walks. He’s walked on a harness that has the leash hooked onto the front of it rather than on his back. It does limit his pulling and makes it a lot easier to walk him that way. Leash training is highly recommended for him though just so he’s easier to handle while walked. He’s well socialized with dogs of both sexes and all sizes. He has 2 cats in his foster home and was very curious of them at first but now they co-exist very well. Not quite at the snuggle stage though but given time, there’s a good chance that will happen. BRANSTON has good manners and will sit for his meals and take treats very gently. He doesn’t have any food aggression that his foster has noticed and he loves his meal times. He can shake a paw and knows “come on boy.” He’s very trusting and believes everyone’s his friend and they’re all greeted with a happy tail wagging boy whether they’re strangers or not. Be absolutely loves going for car rides and will happily jump in the vehicle when he knows he’s going on one. He was great when he went for a bath and seemed to really enjoy getting lathered up. He also didn’t mind the blow dryer but he’s not a fan of getting his nails cut as per the groomer. BRANSTON ideal family would be an active one who loves to go on walks, hikes and basically enjoys the outdoor life. He loves to go swimming so being campers or having a cottage life would be right up his alley. A fenced yard would be ideal to keep him safe and somewhere he can run around and play. Children should be aged 10 and up plus be respectful of his space. They should also be gentle, loving and kind to animals. If BRANSTON sounds like he would fit into your lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him.

OBI

Shepherd (Unknown Type) Husky

Male, Puppy

Barrie, ON

Size

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

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats,

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.OBI hails from the northern community of Pikangikum and was part of our Heart Litter who came south to find their forever families. He’s had his first 2 sets of vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. We have no information on either parent so the breed he is and the size he’ll grow to be is just a guess. This happy, energetic little guy is a perfect combination of snuggles and energy. He loves being around his people and playing with his many dog toys. OBI is crate trained and will sleep quietly in it at night and also take naps in there during the day. House training is still a work in progress but he is really good at using the bathroom outside and has very few accidents in the home. He loves to go on walks and like all puppies, he pulls on his leash and excitedly runs ahead of you. He’s at a chewing stage right now as he’s teething so he has several chewy toys plus Nyla bones to keep his teeth busy. He has no food aggression but does eat his food very quickly so a slow feeder would be a good investment for him. He knows most basic commands and will sit for his meals and take treats “gentle.” He’s a very smart boy and picks up very quickly on commands and seems to always know what’s expected of him. OBI’s ideal family would be an active one who loves the outdoors, going on hikes, walks and will take him on adventures with them. He’s well socialized with dogs of all sizes so would suit a home with one. He hasn’t met a cat but if the cat is dog savvy and with a slow, monitored introduction then he should be able to live in a home with one. Children should be aged 6 plus and he does require a fenced-in yard to keep him safe. Puppies are cute, playful and fun but also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We need his adopter to take him for puppy/obedience training to help him become a well mannered and good boy. His neuter is included in his adoption fee and his potential adopter must be in agreement to have his neuter performed by the time he’s 9 months of age or 60lbs (which ever comes first.) It will be at the Barrie SPCA but you can use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there, his neuter will still have to be performed in the above timeframe for the reimbursement and we just need a copy of the procedure invoice and an updated photo of him (preferably in a cone after the surgery.) The photo will be put on our fb page along with other animals that were fixed that same week. If OBI sounds like he’d suit your home and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him.
