Name: Whiskey Breed: German Shepherd mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 70lbs Gender: Male Good with cats: Mostly Good with dogs: Small Good with children: Unknown Fenced yard required: Preferred House trained: Yes Location: St.Thomas, Ontario Hi! I’m Whiskey and I’m 1! I’m a total suck once you get to know me. At first I’m a bit standoffish and shy, but that’s just fear. I had a rough first few months until someone came along and took me from the man that kept hurting and scaring me. I am such a good boy! I am super smart and curious and learn things quickly. I love my crate, sleep all night in it, and I love love my kong. I carry it around like a soother. I can sit and lay down, I’m working on learning to stay but it’s just so hard! Unfortunately, my owner’s older dog does NOT like having an annoying puppy with lots of energy around. He picks on me and now I’m scared of him. I don’t think I like big dogs. Little ones might be ok but I’m not very good with social cues. I am in home with 4 cats so they’re ok. Sometimes I try to get them to play, but can quickly be redirected. I would do best in a home with a yard to run and burn off my energy. Because I am so fearful, I should probably not be in a home with children under 12. https://www.animalert.ca/apply/dog-adoption A re-homing fee of $150 will be paid to Animalert at the time of adoption.

Story

Name: Breed: Age: Gender: Weight: Good with cats or Small Animals: Good with dogs: Good with Young Children: Good with Older Children: Fenced Yard Required: Crate-Trained: House Trained: Name: Myrtle Breed: Shih Ztu Age: 8 years DOB: 9/25/2016 Gender: 8 years Weight: 13 lbs Good with cats: Unknown Good with dogs: Yes Good with Children: Older children due to her previous life Fenced Yard Required: Yes Crate-Trained: Yes House Trained: Will use pee pads Location: London, Ontario You must complete an adoption application to be considered for adopting Myrtle: https://www.animalert.ca/apply/dog-adoption Since arriving in our care, Myrtle has taken some time to adjust, but she is now much more trusting. She will come when called and will show that she wants to be picked up to sit with you. Despite her eight years in captivity, Myrtle is a happy girl. However, she remains wary of new experiences. Myrtle does okay in the car but she still may have accidents in the house when she feels anxious; typically, she will use a pee pad when needed. Myrtle would love the company of another dog, although she could also thrive with just the right person. Myrtle is still getting used to walks and isn't quite sure if she enjoys them yet. She would do best with someone who is home often. She is likely good with cats, as she is gentle, but this has not been tested. Due to her nervousness, she would do better in a home with older children or no kids at all. Many times, when we post about new intakes from breeder surrenders, we note that they require specific conditions to be adopted safely into a "forever" home. These dogs are often born into breeding situations and do not have experience going outside to the bathroom. They spend their lives in a confined space, seeing only walls, ceilings, and floors. As a result, they do not understand house training nor are they familiar with leashes and collars. These dogs are typically unaware of everyday sounds, movements, or tasks. They need a secure yard to ensure they don’t bolt or slip out of their collars, leashes, or harnesses and get lost or injured. We do not make decisions for these animals on a whim; our choices are based on years of experience with dogs and careful observation of each individual animal’s preferences. Myrtle has been vaccinated, spayed, microchipped, and had dental cleaning. Myrtle has also received monthly preventatives. Her adoption fee will be $650.00 and will include her health records. If you think you can provide the loving home she deserves please complete our on line adoption application at https://www.animalert.ca/apply/dog-adoption If you wish to learn more about Animalert, please visit our website at https://www.animalert.ca/ Due to the volume of emails, phone calls and messages Animalert receives, it is not always possible to respond to every application.

Zip and Rocky are two bonded brothers who are looking for their forever home. They are both approximately 3.5 years old and have spent their entire lives together, so they must be adopted as a pair. Both dogs enjoy going on walks, but they would really prefer a fenced yard where they can play freely. While walks are enjoyable, having the freedom to run around in a yard is even better! Like typical siblings, they may squabble occasionally during playtime, but their love for each other is unmistakable. It's important to note that Zip and Rocky will not do well in a home with cats or other dogs, so we are seeking a household that does not have any other pets. They are both house-trained and crate-trained, making them great companions for the right family. The adoption fee for Zip and Rocky is $1,000.00, which includes their health records. Both dogs have been vaccinated, heartworm tested, neutered, microchipped, and have had dental cleanings.
