Although she is still quite timid, she is gradually making progress in overcoming her fears. This sweet girl can flinch at the faintest sounds and unexpected movements, highlighting her sensitive nature after living in a puppy mill for the first years of her life Winnie's vocalizations are delightful, but potential adopters should keep in mind that she may not be suited for apartment living due to her expressive personality. In her foster home, Winnie has developed a lovely rapport with other dogs, often displaying a fun-loving and mischievous spirit that brings joy to her surroundings. To thrive, she would benefit from a home with another dog(s) and a human companion who can spend plenty of time with her. Winnie is puppy pee-trained, but she requires regular trips outside since she doesn’t always indicate when she needs to go.  Her new home must have direct access to a securely fenced yard where she can frolic freely! When it comes to leash walks, Winnie can be a little evasive, often darting away as she adjusts to new experiences, so patience and gentle guidance will be key. This charming girl loves to snuggle up at night, finding comfort sleeping on the bed alongside her human and furry friends. With time and love, Winnie is sure to blossom into a cherished companion. Winnie has been spayed, vaccinated, dental cleaning, microchipped and has received monthly preventatives.  Winnie’s adoption fee will $750.00 and will include her health records.   If you wish to submit an application for Winnie, please click on this link https://www.animalert.ca/apply/dog-adoption If you wish to learn more about Animalert, please visit our website at     https://www.animalert.ca/ Due to the volume of emails, phone calls and messages Animalert receives, it is not always possible to respond to every application.

Story
Meet Pepsi 🐶✨ Pepsi is a 5-year-old Shih Tzu mix weighing approximately 25 lbs and currently working hard on her weight-loss journey! Currently being fostered in Brantford ON Through no fault of her own, Pepsi found herself in foster care—and she settled in immediately. She’s a wonderfully adaptable girl who has even spent the holidays travelling with her foster family. While she does experience some mild car anxiety, she does beautifully when she can sit with a trusted human by her side. Pepsi has been exposed to children as young as 3, dogs of all sizes (from tiny 2 kg pups to extra-large 60 kg friends), and even cats—and she’s done fantastic with everyone! She is a loving, social sweetheart with excellent people skills. Pepsi is very respectful and clear about her boundaries and communicates beautifully with other dogs when she’s had enough—always in the kindest way. She has never shown any aggressive or mean behaviour toward people or animals. She’ll happily run around with other dogs but is still learning how to play. Toys aren’t really her thing yet, but belly rubs? Those are her absolute favourite! Pepsi is both house-trained and pee-pad trained when needed. She’s flexible with sleeping arrangements—free-range in the living room at home, or happily curled up on her own bed while travelling. Best of all, she’s not destructive. Medically, Pepsi has been diagnosed with luxating patellas and mild dry, flaky skin. When she was spayed, she also had her umbilical hernia repaired. She is fully healed and up to date on all vaccinations. Overall, Pepsi is an incredible cuddle-bug with nothing but positive vibes to offer. She would thrive in almost any loving home and is ready to find her forever family. 💕 Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.
