Story
Meet Chance. He's a great guy who didn't get the best start in life. He was born in a barn and didn't get to have a family of his own until he was almost 6 mths old. When he arrived at his new home he was in really rough shape. His coat looked terrible and he was just generally unhealthy. After many tests and some trial and error sleuthing, his family discovered that he had allergies. They switched his food to pork and his health quickly improved. Change is loving and playful and super smart.

Story
Kody Breed: Pointer/ Cattle Dog mix Gender: Male Weights: 46 lbs Age: 2 yrs Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: yes Good with kids: Yes older kids Housetrained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Leash Trained: Yes Energy level: Medium Health Concerns: None HW status: Negative Spay/neutered?: Yes Tell us about this dog: Kody was saved from euthanization at a high kill shelter in San Antonio, Tx. It is believed that at some point Kody was physically abused and would get defensive when he felt threatened. Kody has come a long ways and his trust in people has grew more and more everyday. He is an active fun boy who loves kids, getting belly rubs, and playing with toys. Kody is very treat motivated and is eager to learn new things. He enjoys car rides. Kody loves going for walks, hiking, and/or jogging. Kody had been through behavioral training prior to coming into our rescue. These are notes from the trainer. Kody knows multiple commands. Below are the commands he knows and notes from his trainer: - look at me/pay attention Sit Come here- recall Touch- nose to hand target command Wait- pause in action- ESPECIALLY at doors!! Settle- relax Leave it- back away and leave that alone (barking/fixation/food/ leash excitement) Place- go to k-bed (point) Let’s go- change in direction/follow me Kennel- go into kennel or crate “Uh-uh”(buzzer type sound) or firm NO SIR for verbal correction. “Ok” for release WITH FOOD- - ANY resource guarding must be corrected verbally and redirected with obedience. As soon as he trusts you he is fine, but with new people He will test. ANY physical threat or punishment will overwhelm and escalate him- his behavior demonstrated that someone tried to punish the growling out of him and he gets defensive- you must redirect him into the bed and release him to eat when friendly and calm. He is calmer and eats better in a home environment- crate, hand feeding or bowl by your feet in a house he does well with. In a kennel he tends to be more defensive, so work outside the kennel barrier, then move inside and get him comfortable with you being in there with him while he eats before touching him while he eats.

Story
Troy Male / 52 lbs / American Bulldog x Shar pei x Dogo mix (best guess) Neutered Vaccinated Chipped HW negative This beauty is only a year old & has so much life left in him!!! He’s definitely a loving playful dog and would benefit from lots of activities outdoors. He needs an active person or family to keep him busy. He has not been tested around cats or young children. So in his new home he will need teenagers or older as he loves to jump up and can be super goofy so would definitely knock over young kids. He currently has some hot spots and thus, has some sensitive skin. No known food allergies. He would love a Kong stuffed with treats or peanut butter that he has to work on :) a slow feeder bowl would also stimulate this boy! He’s good with other dogs and he is strong so a halti or gentle leader would definitely aid in his leash skills. He is house trained. Troy is looking for a foster home or a foster to adopt home. To foster: You can find my form "Foster Application Form for Cats, Dogs & Rabbits" at: https://form.jotform.com/211614455997263 To foster to adopt: You can find my form " Rescue Dog Adoption Application" at: https://form.jotform.com/211694512438255 Adoption fee is $750

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Hi, my name is Timber,Neutered MaleHusky x German Shepherd Mixapprox. 4 years, 8 months oldI'm a very charming boy full of love. On a quest to find my forever home, my heart is brimming with love, and I thrive on companionship and adventure! I love to have something engaging to do, whether it's exploring new places or enjoying active play. After a day filled with excitement and activity, there's nothing more I appreciate than the comfort of a good snooze!Along with a strong love for human companionship, affection and adventure, I have displayed signs of Resource Guarding. Given this, I would benefit in a home with knowledge of Resource Guarding and a willingness to continue training. My reactions to:Cats - I've lived in a home with cats though as I can be nervous and unsure of new things I would benefit with a slow calm introductionDogs - I can be anxious, nervous and potential territorial around other dogs, for the time being I'd prefer being the only canine in the homeMeeting new people - I adore meeting everyone, give me a good butt scratch or yummy treat, we'll be the best of friends Children - As I can be overly excited and bouncy, I may benefit from a home with older children or a slow introduction to smaller childrenObedience training - I'm still learning and would benefit some extra time though I've shown great improvement during my time at the shelterLeash walking - I can display excitement and eagerness on my leash. I would benefit from some extra attention, but like everyone says practice makes perfect!Crates/My kennel - I am still adjusting to my kennel though I've shown great improvement entering/exiting with ease. Though I'd much rather be out doing my own thingHouse trained - I do my best to hold my business until I am able to relieve myself outsidePlaytime - I absolutely love being outside! Whether it is basking in the sun or playing a good game of fetch, I'll be there! Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 25.036 Age: 4yrs 8mths 2wks

Harley

King City, ON
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Harley was a local surrender who had been isolated and was not socialized, which makes him very nervous of meeting new people. Once given a chance he is very loveable and super wiggly. He loves getting pets and attention from the people he knows! Harley is quite active and enjoys long walks, playing with his ball, and running around in our yard. He is selective with other dogs; he has met friends he is compatible with, but he doesn't get along with some male dogs and can be reactive towards them.

Story
Avery senses energy. And is drawn to the kind, calm type. That makes sense! Being blind and deaf, Avery relies mostly on touch and scent to find safety in her world. The kennel environment is busy and Avery is keenly tuned into the stress of the other dogs, which just isn’t great for her system. And yet … Once Avery recognizes you and your energy meets her standard … lookout! Then you’ve got the most playful, goofy, cuddly, high steppin’ girl ever! She’s a staff favourite because she’s such a sweet snuggler and treat lover! We’re looking for a family with no children to take the time to connect with Avery so that she can learn to trust their energy. Can you imagine the purity of the love that can be experienced in this relationship? She can’t see you or hear you … but will still love you. She was surrendered to us by her family when they moved to a house with stairs which were a hazard for her orthopedic issues. A home with no stairs is required. She loves to walk and return to the comfort of long naps. She likes other dogs but can be reactive at first, understandably. Another steady dog in the home would be a possibility, provided lots of visits to Dog Tales come first. Due to her visual and hearing impairment she can be reactive and lunge when meeting new people or dogs. It’s important her adopter takes things slow for introductions. Avery needs consistency and to feel safe in these situations. Dog Tales will provide her family with training before and after she is adopted to ensure a smooth transition. Her family would need to visit frequently to get to know each other.
