Hi I'm Paxton! I'm being fostered right here in Ontario and I'd love to meet you. Where do I begin, well it all started when I was abandoned at an apartment complex. I spent countless weeks alone, in the dark and in the heat. I was not feeling well, I was hungry, and I was tired as I didn’t have a place to call home to feel safe. UNTIL... that wonderful day when I was rescued, and I was on my way to recovery. I have received a clean bill of health from the vet and I am ready to live the rest of my life wagging my tail to the right family! I am crate trained. I am house trained. Super friendly! I like other dogs! I am very loving and happy. I have lots of love and energy. I am doing well walking on a leash. Shall I go on? Okay so I will be honest here, I am not saying I don’t like cats, but it may take a bit of time to warm up to them, so if you have the time and patience to help me get along with your cat, I will try my best. Did I mention how handsome I am now that I have cleaned up? You know the saying; oh, you clean up nicely… that’s ME! Here's the link to put in an application for me: https://sites.google.com/view/friendsfurlife/adoption-application I hope to hear from you!

🖤ADOPT PANDORA🖤 F | 5Y | 23 KG | Mixed breed | Spayed | UTD on shots | Housebroken | Crate Trained | Good with dogs | Cat tested | Not kid tested | Fostered in London Pandora's name tells you it all—just like in Greek mythology, she is a gorgeous maiden who is seen as a gift to everyone. This doggo melts hearts like ice cream on a hot summer day! With tons of affection to share, she is eagerly looking for her forever home to shower in cuddles. This active girl loves to go for walks and learn neat tricks. She enjoys being mentally stimulated, whether with fun toys or a day of play. A bit introverted, Pandora needs some time to warm up to others (furry friends and humans alike). She is curious to meet other dogs but needs the right support and introductions to truly befriend them. Similar to people, Pandora would prefer you introduce her to your human friends outside the home to calm her nerves. Pandora still struggles with her fear of noises, this is something to be mindful of while you work together to help her become comfortable with her new life. She is also a flight risk within the first couple of weeks, meaning even in a fully enclosed yard and in the house - it's important to keep that leash on until she's fully decompressed and settled in. Playful Pandora needs a family to help her navigate this crazy world and give her the patience and training she needs to thrive. With proper structure and boundary setting, she will surely shine!

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.

This little god of love is active, full of life, and very ready to meet his forever family. Eros is a cuddle bug who is sweet, playful, and will be sure to bring a smile to your face. Eros has a big personality and a big heart. He is game for just about anything, whether it is heading out for a sniffy walk, pets and belly rubs, rolling and playing on the grass, or just chilling out on his bed. Eros is an active guy and loves walks and indoor enrichment like a snuffle mat or peanut butter kong. He is medium energy. When getting ready for his walks, Eros will give full body wiggles to show his enthusiasm. He loves to cuddle and has little respect for personal space (in a very cute and endearing way!). He likes to snuggle under your arm and give you hugs and kisses. He is an entertaining companion and sure to bring lots of laughs. Eros may take a moment to meet and warm up to new people but once he does he is nothing but loving and attentive. Eros currently gets two walks between 30-45 minutes each, plus play time in the backyard, potty breaks, and indoor and outdoor enrichment such as treat puzzles, frozen lick mats, or foraging games. He can pull on leash when he finds something very interesting but can be redirected. He may react to other dogs he sees on leash by crying or barking and may react to strangers by becoming tense and growling or barking, especially if strange men approach him. Sometimes he has no problem passing people on the street. His fosters are working on this will him by giving him space from strangers and redirecting his attention to them or blocking his view until he calms down. In the house, Eros wants to be close to his people. He has been left both in and out of the crate and while he is not destructive, he is vocal and will cry and bark for up to 20 minutes. His fosters are working on this with him but his adoptive family should be prepared to continue helping him cope with this anxiety. Eros sleeps through the night on his bed in his fosters' room. Eros is working on basic training and knows sit, down, and is working on stay and recall (has not been tested off-leash). He is potty trained. His adoptive family will need to continue working on basic obedience with him. Eros previously lived with another dog and did well with him but sometimes he can't take a hint and got in the other dog's face. He really wants to play and can't always take cues from other dogs. He would likely do very well with a playful, patient dog who can tolerate his puppy antics and show him the ropes, but would also be fine as the only dog in the home. Eros hasn't been exposed to cats and is looking for a cat-free home. Eros' perfect family will be active and patient as he gets comfortable and builds his confidence. He would do great in a house with a backyard to run around and burn some energy. He would do well with older, dog-savvy kids (10+) but his enthusiastic style of play might be too much for smaller children. He needs a committed family who can work with him on basic obedience, and boosting his confidence. Eros has all the makings of an exceptional family pet and we can't wait for this very good boy to find his special family. Eros is a flight risk and our top priority in his furever home is safety. His forever family must take precautions to keep him safe and secure, including the purchase of a GPS tracker which will be required for adoption. If you're interested in fostering with the intention of adopting, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form Eros' adoption has been sponsored by F+R.

**IF THIS LISTING IS STILL POSTED THIS DOG IS STILL AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION. NO NEED TO EMAIL ASKING IF THE DOG IS AVAILABLE. PLEASE READ THROUGH THIS BIO THOROUGHLY AS INFORMATION ON HOW TO APPLY IS CONTAINED IN THIS LISTING** For Adoption: Caleb! Please read our dog bios carefully to be sure that the dog you are applying for suits your family and lifestyle. We at PDR believe in the benefits of post-adoption training for our dogs and their families. This allows for continued socialization, learning and helps to create a well-mannered and balanced dog. Post-adoption training is a requirement in our adoption process. To apply for adoption and for more information on our process and requirements, visit our website at https://pounddog.ca/adoption-info/. I am delighted to introduce Caleb, a 7 month old Hound and Lab mix. Caleb came to our rescue from a local pound with a leg injury which is now healed. He weighed in for his neuter surgery at 44 pounds. Caleb is still a puppy with lots of growing left to do. He is a high energy pup who requires a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. He is looking for an outdoorsy and active person or family who can take him on many adventures and get out with him daily for long walks and hikes before a good evening couch cuddle. He currently goes on 4 or 5 walks daily with a minimum total of 7 km daily. Several times a week we go to the local conservation areas for a 5 km hike and on those days we may reach a total of 9 or 10 km. I believe Caleb would be a good candidate for agility training later on after he does his basic obedience training classes as he is highly trainable and loves to learn and work. Best advice I was given is that a well behaved puppy is a tired puppy. We have taken this to heart and because he gets his energy needs met, Caleb is a very laid back gentle boy who has done no typical puppy mischief in the house …although he recently thought it was fun to steal my slippers and hide them in one of his beds. At home Caleb is quite content to curl up on one of his beds and either nap or chew on his many toys both soft and hard. He delights in going to the toy box and taking out several toys to play with each day and leave them all over the house. He enjoys chasing toys down the hall but hasn’t quite got the idea of returning them to me. Caleb no longer follows me as my shadow and is happy to relax on his own in another room, mostly the living room where he has taken over the couch as his favourite go to place. . Caleb quickly learned the command “sit” and automatically sits to have his lead put on for walks and also when he returns home. We have an after walk routine; Caleb goes to the couch and wiggles himself silly until I come over and give him tummy rubs which he loves. My neighbour has nicknamed him the love bug. In the house Caleb is pretty good on the recall command. We often go to a nearby green space on a 50 foot long line so he can run. His recall can be comical as he comes running full speed and doesn’t always stop and I have to side step so he doesn’t run into me. It’s a work in progress. Caleb loves being outdoors and he spends time on a 30 foot long line in the yard with me since I don’t have a fenced in yard. He would love a home with a fenced in back yard where he could run and play, but this won’t be a replacement for his daily walks. He will do just fine without a fenced yard too as long as he gets his energy needs met like he does in his foster home. In the morning when I open his crate Caleb does a big stretch and then waits for an all over body rub before heading to his favourite couch waiting for me to get my shoes on for our first walk of the day. He is very patient and once he knows I’m ready he comes over to get his lead put on. At the writing of this bio he has been with me just over a month and has made amazing progress. Caleb is a very intelligent puppy who is quick to learn. He walks well on lead and rarely pulls. I have trained him on the gentle leader head halter but I haven’t found he really needs it. I was expecting him to pull when he saw bunnies, chipmunks and squirrels on our walks but he just stops and watches them until they disappear and then continues our walk. One evening Caleb spotted a baby toad on the road and was fascinated. He gently nudged it with his nose and it did a little hop forward. Caleb continued this sweet gentle play for several minutes before we resumed our walk. Caleb is a highly social puppy who loves to meet and greet new people and dogs. He is very gentle with these encounters and is a bit upset with me when I won’t let him meet everyone. Caleb recently met my neighbours 2 cats in a friendly manner. He has no problems with cars going by but large trucks and the back-up noise made by the garbage truck frightened him. Caleb is being fostered in a small rural community with nearby green spaces for his walks. He is not a candidate for a busy urban area as some traffic noises can be startling for him, but a quieter subdivision, a town, or a rural area would suit him well. Caleb is highly food motivated. Unless he’s being rewarded for obedience training sessions Caleb has to work for his treats. He was quick to solve simple treat puzzles and I have gone up to higher level ones. Caleb can be a counter surfer so all food needs to be kept out of his reach. He is a bottomless pit with a hearty appetite just like any growing puppy. During the day when it’s getting near meal time he will sometimes sit and look longingly at the counter area where his treat and food containers are kept hoping I’ll give in. Caleb has issues with separation anxiety that are being worked on. He rarely barks or whines unless I leave the house and then he will whine/howl until I come home. Because of this Caleb should not be in an apartment or condo home. We have been working together on this. We have found that a sturdy crate, and a frozen stuffed Kong or marrow bone to keep him busy when I’m gone seems to do the trick for him. When he has a food treat that lasts for a few hours he’s quiet in his crate. Caleb goes into his crate willingly with a treat and quietly sleeps through the night. Caleb is a wonderful pup, full of love and a sweet gentle nature. He is looking for a home preferably with a fenced in yard where he can free play and run to work off his high energy. His family needs to be outdoor oriented regardless of the season, already active walkers/runners/hikers, and willing to spend the time walking and hiking that this dog needs. He would be fine with older children who would enjoy teaching him how to play fetch. Caleb shouldn’t be left on his own for long periods of time and would be best with someone who works from home, or is otherwise home more than away. Caleb is looking for a family with the time and energy to bring out his full potential and who enjoy couch cuddles with a very affectionate, loveable dog.

Lady is fostered in Hamilton Ontario. Apply to adopt at rebeldogrescue.com*All adoptions with Rebel Dog Rescue have a 15 day probation period. Read about our adoption process on our website. Lady came to us from the City of Houston animal shelter. We met her at our rescue ranch after she was pulled from the shelter. We could tell she was well spirited, but it was clear that she had been neglected. She played well with other dogs and enjoyed a medicated bath to sooth her skin . Which was irritated when she was first rescued. Since then, she has been on preventatives for the fleas and skin is looking so much better (fur is almost all grown back in). She really loves to play with balls and other toys, and she knows the command drop. We would classify her as having medium-high energy once she comes out of her shell, but with sufficient exercise and play she becomes a great relaxed dog. She is looking for a family to help her gain self-confidence and take her on lots of adventures. She is a bit vocal if left unattended in the kennel, so we are looking for a single or detached home, just to be safe. She is good with kids, however she does have a bad habit of jumping on people, so this is something that will need to be worked on. Overall, this black beauty will make a wonderful companion!Name: LadyBreed: Lab mixAge: ~2 years Weight: ~45lbSex: Female, spayedColour: Black with whiteMedical: sore/irritated skin at rescue treated and almost fully recoveredGood with men: YesGood with women: YesGood with kids 0-6: Yes, however due to strength and jumping suitable for older children Good with kids 6+: Yes Good with dogs: Yes Good with cats: Unknown, no exposure.
