Story
Mowgli is a sweet and loyal canine companion who has come a long way since being rescued. When he was younger, he had trust issues, but with patience and love, he has made remarkable progress. He is reactive towards animals and humans and needs time to warm up to new people, those who take the time to earn his trust will find a devoted and loving friend. We finished his reactivity training at a great place and so far he's made some progress, and hopefully with time he can improve more over time. I am seeking a new home where he can continue to thrive and receive the attention he deserves.

Story
Milo is a 1-year-old Lab mix Milo came to us as a stray in July. Milo is a big, friendly guy with a lot of love to give, but he needs a home that can provide him with the consistency, training, and leadership he requires to thrive.Milo is an incredibly smart dog—he learns quickly and has a lot of potential—but he has not had the benefit of basic training or boundaries in his early life. As a result, he tends to jump, mouth, and get overly excited in certain situations. He’s also struggled with respecting personal space and can be a bit overwhelming if not managed properly. Milo is not a `turnkey` dog; he needs an experienced, adult-only home where he can get the structure and training he needs to succeed.Milo has been returned to the shelter twice due to behavioral issues, so we are looking for a committed adopter who understands the challenges of working with a dog who has not yet learned proper socialization and impulse control. He is not a dog for first-time owners—he needs someone who is patient, consistent, and ready to invest time and effort into his training and rehabilitation.A few important notes about Milo:High prey drive: Milo cannot live with small animals or cats.Dog selective: He has a history of being picky with other dogs, so he should be the only dog in the home.Needs strong leadership: Milo will thrive in a home where his owners are confident, experienced, and can provide clear boundaries and structure.Despite his challenges, Milo is a sweet and loving dog who has so much potential to be a loyal companion. He’s looking for a dedicated adopter who can give him the chance he deserves. If you’re an experienced dog owner who’s ready to work with a dog like Milo, he could be the perfect fit for you.If you think you could be the right match for Milo, please come meet him today. He’s waiting for a second chance—and with the right home, he could truly shine.All animals available for adoption at HSHPE have been vaccinated, microchipped and spayed/neutered, and have been treated for internal/external parasites.Adopters will receive a $25 gift certificate from Ren`s Pets and a pet care booklet from Pet Valu with coupons worth up to $300. Plus, adopters who bring the paperwork from their HSHPE adoption to PetSmart Belleville or Kingston will receive a booklet with coupons worth up to $300.For inquiries regarding adoptions or specific information on the pet you are interested

Meet Tucker, an eleven-year-old black Labrador Retriever mix who loves treats.This is one very sweet guy who will make a loyal companion.He knows a few basic commands but would benefit from reinforcing them with training. Luckily, he is a willing dog, especially when motivated by food rewards. Do not place with cats or dogs.Tucker has a history of ear infections, which are responding well to treatment. To help alleviate this condition, we have him on a special hypoallergenic food, which he will need to be on for the rest of his life.He is slated for some dental work, which will be completed before he heads to his new home. As a senior dog (8+), Tucker is eligible for our Seniors for Seniors program, which waives the adoption fee to qualified adopters 60+.All dogs and cats adoptied at HSHPE have been vaccinated, microchipped and spay/neutered, and have been treated for internal and external parasites, when needed.

He will flourish in a calm, pet-free environment where he can focus on building a strong bond with his new family.
