King Shepherd, black tan and fawn coloured. He is a friendly energetic 4year old with lots of personality. He loves long walks and lots of playtime and cuddles. I am no longer able to keep him. He was dropped off by a family member and we were asked to care for him for six months. It has now been a year and the family member is not in a position to take him back. He is in need of a forever home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.ROUGE is one of the “Fab Four” we saved from being euthanized at the Pound. The only reason that was going to happen to her was because they needed the space to bring in more unwanted or dumped dogs. She’s spayed, microchipped and was just vaccinated including rabies with her annual ones for this year. She is a beautiful girl with lots of energy and she’s looking for an experienced Shepherd owner.  ROUGE has both beauty and brains and is a very smart, loving girl who loves attention. Her favourite place to be is right beside you on the couch so she can get snuggles and belly rubs. She does need lots of exercise to help burn off that young dog energy so she’s definitely looking for an active family who can give her the exercise she desires, take her on trail hikes and lots of adventures. She travels well in a vehicle and gets excited when she knows she’s going in it as it usually leads to a nice long walk in the woods for her. She loves to play fetch and when you throw the ball for her, she’ll chase after it and retrieve it back to you and drop it out your feet. A fenced-in yard is required for her as she loves to run around in one and chase out the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and well, let’s just say any creature that dares to land in her yard. She hasn’t met a cat but we’re advising no cats in the home as she’s never met one and also due to her high prey drive. She has a dog savvy 6yr old child in her foster home and they get along great and the young boy will play fetch with her and walk her around on her leash. She takes it all in her stride and just follows behind him like his little shadow. She’ll do great with children aged 6 plus in her new home as long as they’re calm, loving and considerate to animals. ROUGE is crate trained and will sleep soundly in it at night. She’ll also go in it during the day and nap while left alone. She’s housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside for a bathroom break. She’s a very social girl and loves to chase and run around with the other 2 dogs in her foster home, there’s a female dog around her size and a small male Chihuahua. They’re both calm and that’s the type of dog that would suit her best in her new home. Saying that though she would do equally as well as an only dog too. She’s regularly taken to the off-leash dog park and does extremely well there with all the other dogs. A video has been added to show just how well she does there too. ROUGE recently completed a 3-week board and train programme at Sunnidale Kennels in Angus and she did amazing well there. Her biggest improvement was her leash walking skills. She’s always been good on her leash mind but would just get a bit reactive when she saw another dog, especially if it was an energetic dog like her. She’ll now walk calmly by those other dogs and is rewarded with a couple of treats each time for being a good girl. Sunnidale is offering some free sessions with a trainer for Rouge and her new owner and tbis will help them to bond. This is also so they can fully understand the commands she knows and the best way for them to communicate with her. She was also trained on an e-collar and she responds very well to it and on a low setting. We have a full assessment report on her behaviour and training at the kennel to share with her adoptive family. She had really good manners and waits quietly for her meals and loves it when there’s berries, carrots or other tasty vegetables or fruits topping it.  ROUGE is a very special girl who has been in care since she was just a pup of 5 months old. What she endured in those first few months of her life we’ll never know but we do know it wasn’t good. She has now been with us in foster care for over a year and we’re really not sure why no one has come forward to adopt her. She does need an experienced dog owner and one with Shepherd experience and a good overall knowledge of dogs.  ROUGE sadly does have a couple of nipping incidents that happened at her foster home when she first arrived there but her foster says she completely blames herself for the incidents and feels they could’ve been avoided. Nothing at all has happened since then and she’s now proven herself to be a good girl who loves her humans.  If you’re interested in meeting the lovely ROUGE then please put in an adoption application to do so.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 29, 2024, 12:14 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.MOLASSES hails from Moose Lake in Northern Manitoba and came down south to find her forever family. She’s spayed, vaccinated including rabies and microchipped. We have no knowledge of her parents so the breeds we have her listed as are merely a guess based on the breeds she looks like. She’s just the sweetest little lady and she loves to cuddle up with you and will try and sit on your lap too. She’s pretty laid back and has a low energy level so would definitely suit a quiet home with a retired couple or one with someone who works from home.  MOLASSES is house trained and also crate trained and will sleep in her crate all night without a peep. She was originally fostered with an older cat who would just lay around or sit in his chair and she really took no notice of him. However she then went to another home and seemed to have a prey drive for the cat who lived there. So it’s hard to say whether or not she would get along with the next cat she meets and at this point in time, we’re not recommending she be with one even if they’re dog savvy. She’s really good with other dogs but she doesn’t appreciate rude dogs who’ll get into het face and bark at her as she’ll just bark right back. We are only letting her be adopted to an adults only home and one that doesn’t have children coming to visit. A fenced yard would be great for her as she does enjoy being outside.  A little bit of background history on MOLASSES: she was in her Northern community when one of the networks we work with had volunteers there to do a spay/neuter/Clinic and fell in love with the wonderful nature she has. She needed to have a spay but no one came forward to claim her afterwards so they decided she was too great of a dog to leave behind so brought her back with them. They then posted her for a rescue to take and this rescue stepped up to take her in. That little tidbit is important to point out on how they felt about her and it’s relevant to this next part about her. Molasses was adopted out into a home for 9 months with young teenagers in it and there ended up being an incident and we now have to say she has a bite history. We’re a full disclosure rescue and this incident will be discussed in full with a potential adopter. It should be noted that as soon as we received her back into the rescue she went straight to a board and train programme for 4 weeks with a Behaviourist/trainer for a full assessment and she wrote up a very detailed report on her and it is also available to a potential adopter.  It is important that the adopter of MOLASSES be prepared to take her for basic training as it not only benefits her but will help to form a bond between her and her new owner. If you feel MOLASSES would be suitable for your home and lifestyle plus you have somewhat of an understanding about her then please fill out an application to meet her. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 4, 2024, 1:30 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.BLISSFUL came into rescue from a backyard breeder along with her sisters (Grateful and Thankful. She’s had her first two sets of vaccines, a microchip and been deemed a healthy girl by her vet and ready to find her loving family. We were told her parents are Collie/Mastiff mixes of around 55-60lbs but it’s just a guess on the weight she’ll grow to be. This playful, loveable and happy girl loves people and gets very excited when she meets new ones and especially so with people she already knows.  BLISSFUL is crate trained and sleeps soundly in it at night and will also nap in it quietly during the day. She loves to play with a variety of toys and especially likes the ones that squeak and the ones she can chase around. Tug-of-war with a rope toy is one of her favourite things to do but of course she does likes to win. Housetraining is going well and she hasn’t had an accident in the home for a couple of weeks now but she is taken outside often so it’s still a work in progress.  BLISSFUL is now fostered with our puppy trainer to build on the basic training she received from her fosters and she’s doing really well with it. The trainer has said she’s a very quick learner and one of the reasons being is that she’s highly food motivated. She does recommend that she be fed in her crate if other dogs are in the home until she learns to slow down when eating and not figure that once she’s finished hers, she can then go and eat theirs. She’s well socialized with a lot of dogs and they’re all sizes, breeds and temperament. She would definitely  suit a home with another dog but if she wax to be an only child she would need some home with her for a portion of the day. BLISSFUL’s ideal family is an active one who will take her on lots of walks and hikes on the trails to help her burn off that puppy energy. She’s adventurous so would always be up for one especially seeing as she travels so well in a vehicle. She hasn’t met a cat but if the dog is cat savvy and a slow monitored introduction is done while she’s leashed  then It’s quite possible they could live in harmony. She requires a fenced-in yard as she loves to run around and play outside (under supervision) and it will also keep her safe.  Children should be aged 6 and up plus be caring, gentle and loving towards animals. They also need to understand that puppies will chase, nibble on toes and generally be very playful. BLISSFUL’s spay is included in the adoption fee and as per our rescue agreement must be performed by the rescue by the time she hits 6 months of age. If preferred, the adopter can use their own vet and we’ll reimburse what we would’ve paid for it if it was performed at the Barrie SPCA as we use them for our spay/neuters. We just need a copy of the invoice and a picture of the pet (preferably in a cone or onesie) to do so. The reimbursement will only happen if the spay is done within the agreed upon age. We also need her adopter to be in agreement to continue her training so she can be the best trained dog possible. Our trainer is obviously willing to continue her training with you but you can take her to whichever trainer you choose.  If you’re interested in BLISSFUL and would like to meet her then please submit an adoption application to do so. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 30, 2024, 7:16 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.ABRACADABRA hails from Deer Lake and came south to find her forever family. She recently had puppies but they didn’t come into our rescue with her. She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated including rabies and been deemed a healthy girl by the vet. If you’re looking for a loyal and loving companion then look no further than this beautiful girl. She loves spending time with her foster family and seeks attention from them any chance she gets. ABRACADABRA is crate trained and has been sleeping quietly in it at night and will also take her naps in it during the day. She is housetrained and she’s had zero accidents in her foster home. She’s been working on her leash skills and has come a long way with them since coming into foster care. She has good manners and will sit for her meals and does know the basic commands. She’s fostered with 2 dogs and gets along very well with them. She’s well socialized with both people and dogs and that’s mainly due to being on the hiking trails every day near her foster home and meeting lots of them there. To our knowledge she hasn’t met a cat so we’re not recommending she go to one at this time. However, if you have a cat savvy dog and are prepared to do a slow monitored introduction with them then they could possibly live in harmony. Children should be aged 6 and up and be loving, gentle and caring towards animals.  ABRACADABRA would love an active family who will give her lots of walks and hikes. She travels well in a vehicle so would be a great companion on those camping trips and adventures. She loves to play with all the different dog toys in her home and especially likes to chase a ball around. She requires a fenced yard so she can run around and play plus be kept safe.  If ABRACADABRA sounds like the right fit for you then please submit an adoption application to meet her.   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 28, 2024, 5:53 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.TWEED hails from the White Sands Community in Northern Ontario and he came south with his brother (Tartan) to find a loving family. He’s had his first 2 sets of vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and has been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. We have no knowledge on his parents so we don’t know what other breeds are mixed in him but there’s definitely something other than a Shepherd. We also have no idea on the size he’ll grow to be as the weight we have noted is just a guess. He’s a loving, gentle boy who’s curious about everything around him. He’s laid back and very easy going and the more reserved one of the two brothers.  TWEED’s crate trained and sleeps quietly in it at night and will also take naps in it during the day. He’s an energetic guy who loves to run around and chase his brother especially if has a toy in his mouth. He’ll play for hours with his toys and chase balls around the floor. He loves his treats and has been easy to do some training with them too. He should do well with another dog in the home as he has met a few and got along with them all.  TWEED would like an active family who’ll take him on big walks, hikes and seeing as he travels well in a car, he’d always be up for an adventure or two. He hasn’t met a cat but if there’s a cat savvy dog in the home then he should do well with them provided a slow, monitored introduction is done and while the dog is leashed. Children should be aged 6 and up and be loving, gentle and caring towards animals. He has to have fenced yard to keep him safe and he can safely run around and play.  Puppies are fun and cute but also require a lot of work, patience and dedication to training. We need his adopter to be in agreement to sign him up for obedience/puppy training.  His neuter is included in the adoption fee and as per our rescue agreement, it has to be done before he’s 9 months of age or 60lbs, whichever comes first. The neuter can be done at your own vets office but it still has to be within our age/weight requirements. If TWEED sounds like he’d fit into your home then please submit an adoption application to meet him.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 15, 2024, 7:27 pm
