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

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.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
`It`s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood…` to give our North Shelter Region a call and find out more about this handsome boy - Mr. Rogers! Mr. Rogers came to us about 1 month ago as a stray. Unfortunately his previous owners did not claim him, but that means you`re in luck to bring him home!Mr. Rogers is a 5 year old, male neutered Alaskan Malamute. He`s got the most dazzling eyes and a wonderful personality to match. He`s a pretty laid-back guy when it comes to most things, but tends to pick and choose his dog friends carefully. Don`t get us wrong - this boy may love to snuggle up on the couch with you but he certainly isn`t afraid to show you how cool his Zoomies look in the snow! Being a long-haired breed, you can expect your house and clothes to be adorned in lots of fluff (Mr. Rogers thinks it adds character!) so regular brushing and grooming of his coat is recommended. Mr. Rogers does have some medical needs that our shelter team is happy to discuss more in depth with his potential adopters. If you think Mr. Rogers is the right dog for you, please give our North Shelter a call at (416) 338-8723 from 10:30am - 6:30pm to find out how to bring this cutie home.Thank you for your interest!
