Story

Hello, my name is Valentina!I`ve been waiting for a new home since February! I am a playful, silly girl whose idea of a good time is tossing around a good stuffy toy or going for a long walking adventure. I am affectionate and snuggly with my humans once I warm up, which can take a couple visits. I am nervous of new people but warm up nicely with treats and toys. I sometimes like to express my feelings, with barking, when I see dogs on walks, particularly when they enter my personal bubble because how dare they enter my princess bubble? I`m doing well with training and am excited to join a family that has the time and interest in training to help me continue my progress!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: No, due to my sensitive nature around strangers, I`m looking for an adult-only home.OTHER DOGS: No, I don`t seem to enjoy the company of other dogs.CATS: Yes, I did well with the cats in my foster home.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Required unless you live on a rural property.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings or homes where I will be in tight spaces with strangers.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the `adopt me` button to apply!

Story

Hello! My name is Jake!I came into the Guelph Humane Society in June very scared and under-socialized. My GHS friends and foster parents have been working very hard to help me learn that the world isn`t so scary. Once I warm up, you will see I have the best wiggle-bum. And I enjoy neck scratches and bum scratches. I`m still working on my confidence as little things can scare me, such as noises and movements. When I feel comfortable though, I can be quite silly and playful. I`m looking for an experienced home that is patient and can dedicate time to helping me continue to come out of my shell!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers may be ok, no young children given my sensitive nature.OTHER DOGS: No, unfortunately I don`t have much experience with dogs and am not very comfortable with them.CATS: Potentially, with a cat confident around dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I am looking for a family that has lots of dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Required.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings due to my fearful nature.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the `adopt me` button to apply!
