Story
Zara is currently living at a kennel enjoying her time playing and training. Zara is the sweetest and adored by all people who meet her.  Zara came into care after she was not doing well with strangers and the other pets in her previous home, and is looking for a furever home who can advocate for her and provide structure so she can be the best version of herself. She is good with strangers once she has had a slow and proper introduction - no forced touching or pressure! She does pick up on people being nervous, which makes her more nervous.  Zara is house and crate trained. She is lower energy and can get tired easily on hot days, but walks well on leash. She loves toys and her favorite game is fetch! At 130 pounds, Zara is tall and quite strong, and can be pushy about thresholds so she needs a confident handler who can teach her its polite to wait at doorways.  ​Zara is good with well-balanced dogs at the kennel and has several friends she socializes with regularly, however she does need proper introductions and structure when meeting new dogs. Zara can be uneasy around fast movement and can be jealous for attention. Zara would do best in a home with lots of structure and boundaries during the transition period. Zara came to us after killing a cat, and an altercation between her and a small dog that she had lived with for a few years.  She can also be skittish of unexpected movement or loud noises with a new handler. While Danes are bred to be more reserved with strangers and be protective, it is not uncommon for them to be insecure. With relationship focused training and advocating for her, Zara can be a perfect companion and an easy pup. Zara has met confident kids with proper introductions and done well, but she could easily knock them over as well, as she is 130lbs.  Zara's grooming needs are minimal, but she can be drooly after drinking and when she's had a lot of exercise. She is good when being groomed and not picky about her feet being touched.  Zara is a pretty easy low maintenance girl. She gets easily tired on walks in the heat, and enjoys fetch in the yard. She is quiet in the house and would do well living in an apartment or a detached home.  Zara is looking for a home who can advocate for her when she is nervous and build up her confidence. She would do best in a home that could continue her training and provide lots of structure and boundaries.  Here's what Zara's foster parents have to say about her:  "She has such a beautiful personality. So lovable, gentle and calm. For a big dog the only space she occupies is your heart. Everyone that meets her loves her and doesn’t want to leave without saying bye. If you are looking for a low energy companion who will follow you around or be independent when you need space and respects the boundaries you set, Zara is the family member for you." ​

Meet Callie – the ultimate gentle giant who is as loving as she is stunning! Callie is a big, affectionate sweetheart who thrives on love and companionship. For her size, she is incredibly chill and has the perfect balance of relaxed and playful energy. She adores her humans and will happily curl up on the couch for a nap, but she’s always excited to get outside for a nice walk or some fun in the snow—one of her absolute favorite things! This lovable girl is fantastic with kids, making her an excellent family dog. She is patient, kind, and always happy to be part of the action, whether that’s a play session with the kids, lounging with the family, or simply keeping you company throughout the day. Callie is also great with other dogs and even does well with cats, making her the perfect addition to a multi-pet household. She is making wonderful progress with her leash training and enjoys getting out for walks, but she’s equally content spending time relaxing at home. Her love for belly rubs and snuggles is unmatched, and she’ll quickly become your most loyal and affectionate companion. Callie is looking for a loving family who will cherish her gentle spirit, give her all the love she deserves, and let her be part of their everyday life.

Story
Meet Marmaduke – a gentle giant looking for a second chance! Marmaduke’s story isn’t an easy one. This five-year-old Great Dane X Husky mix was found abandoned in a house without food or water for a couple of days, left to fend for himself with no one to care for him. At 80 lbs, Marmaduke is absolutely breathtaking. His mesmerizing heterochromatic eyes – one piercing blue, one warm brown – will stop you in your tracks. But it’s his calm, soulful nature that will steal your heart. He carries himself with quiet confidence. He’s independent but will curl up beside you on the couch for a bit before stretching out on his own, perfectly content in his space. Given his past, he’s still learning to feel comfortable being left alone. In the shelter, his anxiety was apparent, especially in a crate. But in his foster home, he’s been doing much better – left alone for short periods with no signs of destruction. He just needs a patient adopter who understands that after being abandoned once, it takes time to trust that someone will always come back for him. Outside Marmaduke comes alive. He loves to run, stretch his long legs, and chase after a ball – fetch might be his favourite thing in the world. A home with a yard where he can burn off some energy before settling in for a nap would be a dream come true. While he is a quiet dog, he gets excited when he sees other dogs and people on walks. His leash manners are a work in progress, but with his love for food – he’s eager to learn with a treat. Marmaduke has been nothing but a gentleman with the cat in his foster home. He gets along with dogs, but doesn’t always realize how big he is. He also isn’t shy about setting boundaries, so proper introductions are important. He hasn’t been around kids while in foster care, but at the shelter, he was friendly with everyone, happily approaching adults and children. Given his size, he’d likely do best with dog-savvy kids who understand how to interact with a big dog. The perfect home for Marmaduke would be in quieter neighbourhood with a yard and a family that works from home. If you’re ready to welcome a gentle, loyal companion into your life, Marmaduke is ready to meet you.
