Story

Jagger is an 8 year old border collie / husky cross. He is 60 lbs of short creamy white fur with a striking dappled red nose & ears. He has a truly goofy grin when he’s happy and his expressive toffee brown eyes make it hard to stay mad at him for any length of time. He is house trained and absolutely adores his crate. He often puts himself to bed in it if if his people are up past his bedtime. He also likes to nap on the couch. Jagger loves playtime, his absolute favourite toy is his tug rope. He’ll amaze you at how fast plush toys can be taken apart. However, he is very gentle with his rubber toys. He tends to get bored, so rotating his toys is a good idea. Outside he plays with a large rubber ball but has the typical husky attitude after a few throws of “if you lose it again it’s not my problem “. Jagger has never truly played with a Frisbee, but given the space would astound you at how high he can jump. He is very smart and learns quickly. He’s food motivated and knows sit, down, wait, look at me, with me, turn, and of course high five. Jagger leans more towards his husky side. He walks well on his gentle leader but still has a tendency to pull when distracted. He likes nothing better than to see new places, he occasionally gets car sick but this is solved by timing his meals accordingly. Jagger is fascinated by water but doesn’t want to be in it, he will avoid puddles at all costs and take you home if it starts to rain on a walk. He loves being around it and will bring you right to the water’s edge, just don’t try to make him go in. Jagger is dog reactive, and will bark and lunge when he sees other dogs. This is behaviour can lead to him redirecting on whoever is near. When unable to escape he does have some leash aggression, interpreting any movement towards him as a threat. He has been making great strides towards correcting this, and rarely reacts to neighboring dogs. He would benefit greatly from a course specializing in reactive dogs. Jagger is an absolute sweetheart. He’s a cuddly fun boy that would do well in a dog savvy home with a well fenced yard with people willing to provide the training that the high energy and northern breeds need. He needs a quiet adult home with no other pets and experienced owners. Jagger is available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue. The adoption donation is $400. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application. You can also reach us by email at GrandRiverRescue@hotmail.com.

Polar | Female | 4.5 Months | Northern Mix Breed | Dogs: Yes | Cats: Yes | Kids: Yes Meet Polar! Polar, a lovable and playful pup from a remote Northern Ontario community, is ready to join your family! She has overcome a broken femoral head, and with veterinary monitoring, no surgery is currently needed. The rescue will cover future surgery costs if necessary down the road. Polar is a true love bug - an affectionate, friendly, gentle, and sweet companion who loves people and social interaction. She's highly food motivated, making training a breeze! This playful pup enjoys running around the house and yard, catching and throwing toys, and rolling and chasing balls. Ideally, Polar's family will be active, with time for play and exercise. She'll do well with families with children, provided they're gentle and patient. While not necessary, having a pet sibling for playtime would be beneficial, as Polar loves to play and stay engaged. In terms of training, Polar is crate trained, responding to the command "bed." She's mostly housebroken, with occasional accidents when we can’t get out out to potty fast enough when she wakes up in the morning. Consistency and patience will help her overcome this. At night, Polar sleeps comfortably in her crate, occasionally whining before settling. Polar is microchipped and current on age appropriate vaccinations. She is located in Oshawa, ON.

Story

Lily Lily is a shy, sweet, silly little soul. A 3 year young, 20lb, spayed, female, chiweenie mix from Texas. She is looking for a quiet, loving home that can give her the mental confidence to be the fun, curious dog that she is at heart. She does not like children or young teens and would do best in a home without as they are weird and stress her out! Young visitors are fine as long as they leave her be. She likes to play with other happy dogs/cats after a long trust building period. She is currently fostered with 2 dogs and 2 cats who she became happy to be around once she realized they were nice to her. She is young and does like to play but never quite learnt how to. She would love for you to show her. She will boop you with her nose and let you know when zoomie time is, once she is comfortable with you. It is a very special, rewarding feeling when she finally opens up! :) Lily will walk with you on a leash but is cautious of everything and walks can be very spooky when they are filled with weird noisy things that move, especially children. She has shown a lot of progression in this area, learning to trust her foster mommy rather than flee, and is only expected to continue to improve over time as she trusts her walker(s). She prefers to go potty in a backyard as stopping to do that one a walk is not her idea of comfort. This VERY loving girl and will want to sit on your lap, sleep with you at night, she’ll miss you when you are gone and be excited when you come back. She is crate trained, house broken, loves food and is a very easy keep. Laying on her dog bed or the couch most of the day, getting up once in a while to potty, say ‘hi’ (boop), then grabs a toy to sneak back out of the way.

Bee | Female Spayed | 55 Pounds | Husky Mix | Kids: Yes | Cats: No | Dogs: Preferably not Meet Bee, a 1.5-year-old spayed female Husky mix from northern Ontario. This charming girl is housebroken when kept on a routine, crate trained(other than some initial awoos!), and loves people, toys, playing, treats, and running in the yard. Bee's personality shines brightly! With traits like being smart, medium to high energy, playful, gentle, and affectionate. She's a people lover, quiet for a Husky, and very food motivated. As an ideal match, Bee needs an experienced owner who understands high energy dog breeds. She requires regular exercise, training, and mental stimulation to keep her a happy gal! While Bee is good with other dogs, she prefers being the only pet in the home. She doesn’t like dogs up in her face all the time. So while good with other dogs, she would prefer to have dog friends, not dog siblings. . Bee is a quirky girl that deserves the absolute best home. Bee is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped.
