She loves belly rubs, snuggles and to lick her family. She is being fostered in Markham. Note that she is a rescue and therefore a mix. I am a foster for Gone Rogue Rescue.

Story
🐾 Meet Ricky! 🐾 Hello, hoomans! I’m Ricky, a lovable 5-year-old Retriever mix with a beautiful brown coat! 🐶 Weighing 28 kg, I’m a big, affectionate boy looking for my forever home. Here’s a bit about me: 💖 I’m very affectionate and love to rub against people, whether I know you or not. I’m all about the pets and cuddles! 🐾 You can lift me by putting your arm under my belly. Once we become friends, I’ll happily show my belly for some rubs, and I’ll even show my belly to new friends. 🐕 I greet strange dogs but don’t really play with them. I need a bit of caution around new dogs because I might get defensive if provoked, especially with toys or snacks involved. 😺 When I see a cat during walks, I stay focused on my human friend. I’m quite jealous of other dogs and might need to be your one and only pup. 🌳 I have a high energy level and need plenty of outdoor activities. After a fun time outside, I love to rest quietly at home. 🚶‍♂️ I have plenty of walking experience and follow people well without pulling on the leash. I’m calm when put in a kennel and don’t guard my food against people or other dogs. 🚗 I know how to get in and out of a car by myself, and I generally do my business outside. I have a strong Retriever personality—very affectionate and not wary of strangers. I was abandoned as a puppy and spent a long time in a shelter, so I didn’t learn how to play with other dogs. I started training when I was 5 years old, but I still try to bite other dogs when saying hi. My trainer says I’m not aggressive; I just want all the attention for myself. So, it’s best to walk me a lot and give me lots of love instead of introducing me to other dogs. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal, and active companion, I’m your guy! Let’s meet and start our journey together. 🏡💕 With love and wags, Ricky 🐾

Story
Meet Indy: 6-Year-Old Golden Retriever Indy is a fun, high-energy dog who loves playing tug-of-war and chasing balls. He’s well-trained, food-driven, and knows basic commands. However, Indy has some behavioral challenges. He’s leash reactive and can become aggressive toward other dogs, cats, and animals outside. He also resource guards food and toys and is defensive about his personal space, especially when resting or sleeping. Indy may snap if he feels insecure or is touched unexpectedly. Indy needs an experienced, patient owner who can help him manage his reactivity and teach him boundaries. He would thrive in a calm, structured home, ideally as the only pet. An active, understanding family with dog experience would be best suited for him. With time, patience, and consistency, Indy has the potential to be a loving and loyal companion. If you have the time, commitment, and experience to give Indy the love, training, and stability he deserves, please reach out!
