Yorkie puppies and dogs in Ontario

For Adoption: Newton! 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/. ATTENTION terrier lovers! This dapper little man is Newton, an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier. Newton weighs about 11lbs and has a soft black coat with tan markings. He has beautiful brown eyes and tail that won’t quit to go along with his happy outlook on life! Newton was surrendered to a shelter when his elderly owners could no longer care for him and there was no family to step in to help. After 8 years with his people, the shelter experience and moving to his new foster home have been a shock for Newton but he continues to try his best every day and is just looking for a new family to devote himself to. Newton is pure love! When Newton joined us at Pound Dog Rescue he was suffering from a leg injury that meant he was barely able to use one of his back legs. After consultation with a surgeon it was determined that he had a ruptured ACL so he received the necessary surgery to repair that injury. Newton is still in recovery mode from that surgery but he is doing well and now walks normally. All of his pain is gone and he just needs a bit more time healing before he’s back to full strength. He is ready to be adopted though as all he needs is rest and a gradual increase in his exercise to build back strength in that leg. He is already doing short walks now and can put his weight on his leg which he was never able to do when we first got him Because of his previous life and all of the upheaval he has gone through, Newton struggles with anxiety. It has caused him enough stress that he has been taking medication to calm him down and keep him safe. He tolerates this medication well and it has allowed him to be calm enough to start to adjust to his new life. It is expected that once he has a home of this own and more constant company he will no longer need the assistance of this medication. He can be quite vocal like a typical Yorkie, and although his bark is not particularly loud he would be best suited to a house and not an apartment or townhome. He would also thrive in a home where he has company most of the time. He was clearly the center of the universe in his last home and he would LOVE to bask in that kind of attention and company again! Newton loves to get outside for his walks but he’s not a dog who needs endless hours of exercise. A couple of good walks a day with additional potty breaks will do him just fine. He’s learning to walk nicely on the leash and pay attention to his handler and he hardly notices anyone else. He entertains the thought of chasing a squirrel or two but so far, he’s not been committed to the idea! Maybe once he’s fully healed from his surgery. He is unaffected by other dogs as long as they keep their distance, he does not wish to meet dogs out on a walk, and he also has no real interest in meeting strangers at this time. Newton is an insecure dog who, coupled with a his lack of socialization prior, needs to be given proper time and space when meeting new people. I don’t believe he had much exposure to anything outside his home in his last life so he will need to continue working and training to build up some confidence. Newton’s new family needs to be committed to showing him that he is safe in the world by exposing him to training and setting boundaries for him in the home. I promise that he is up to the task and will blossom with clear expectations and a fun routine. From the information we have on him we believe he was coddled in his past home, not walked or taken outside of the immediate home, and not given any training or structure. We are slowly integrating this all back into his life to build his confidence. He is doing well but definitely needs his forever person or people to fully embrace confident leadership, obedience training and rules so that he can be a well-rounded dog. Newton loves his comfy dog beds and will flop and burrow to find just the right position. He is also a big fan of couch cuddles and will happily curl up beside you or in your lap for a cozy movie night. He fancies himself quite the sous chef and can be found critiquing my cooking methods from his comfy spot between me and cabinets nightly. He didn’t have the best manners for these things when he joined us but he’s made great strides and is starting to understand how to listen and learn. Newton is a true terrier and possesses a strong mind and a healthy dose of stubbornness! He will continue to be a work in progress here but where he doesn’t need any help is his ability and desire to love on his people. He adores his person/people and just wants to be with you and be a part of all you are doing. Since he’s been with me I’ve had occasion to give him several baths and some basic fur grooming which he was largely cooperative for. He was not a fan of having his feet touched, nails trimmed or fur tended around his toes so this will be something his new owners will need to remember when finding him a groomer. Newton has a coat that will require regular maintenance so his new family will need to plan for regular grooming to keep him clean and comfortable. Newton was house trained when he arrived and any accidents have been a matter of timing, gastro upset or stress. He does not yet know how to ask to go outside but if kept on a regular schedule he should be able to figure this out in his new home. Crate training was new to Newton and he has made great strides here. He is crated when I am out or unable to keep a close eye on him and he is handling it well although he would much rather a home where he doesn’t need to be crated as much. His separation anxiety is heightened at night so he sleeps in a crate in my bedroom with little to no fuss so his new family should be prepared for this same approach. Newton travels well in the car in a crate or belted into a seat for his safety. At this time, we are looking for a home where Newton will be the only animal. Other dogs make him insecure and cause him stress and he is untested with cats. His natural terrier prey drive makes him unsuitable for homes with smaller pets as well. We are also looking for an adult only home for Newton as the quick movements and loud noises of children would make him anxious. He is looking for a quiet home, without a lot of visitors, where he can be his persons one and only and get all of the cuddles. Aside from the surgery Newton received, he came into rescue a healthy dog who had already been neutered. He was a cooperative patient at the vet and has been microchipped and vaccinated. His adoptive home should expect him to require a dental in the future, as is common with the breed but there was nothing serious enough to warrant any work at this time. If Newton is adopted before his last follow-up at the surgeon then his new family will need to take him to that appointment in Paris – this is already paid for. Handsome Newton is looking for a home where he can retire feeling loved and treasured. He needs a home that understands his insecurities and will advocate for him, ensuring his medical needs will always be met so he never again has to suffer in pain. He needs some training and some patience but he will pay it all back with cuddles and kisses. Newton needs a family who will love him exactly as he is while helping him learn how to be calm and confident. Are you looking for a cuddly buddy to oversee your every move?

File #24-220Current Foster Location: Kinburn, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Hi, Im Karlie a small but mighty diva who believes mornings are totally overrated. Sure, Ill get up for breakfast and a quick potty break, but then its straight back to bed, thank you very much. I spend my days roaming the house like I own the place, checking things out and keeping my space. Lets get one thing straight: Im a fan of calm vibes only. If the big dogs get too nosy, Ill flash a little sass and make my exit. I'm still a little fearful of people ... unless theres food involved, then I might grace you with my presence but approach too fast, and Im back in my cozy crate. No worries about noisy barking here, though, I was de-barked prior to coming to this village. If you want a low-key, high-sass buddy who loves her personal space (and doesnt do mornings), Im the girl for you!

File #24-225Current Foster Location: Brockville, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* I'm Piccolo, the ultimate homebody! I don't just love my comfort zoneI live in it. I'm a pretty chill dude. I don't bother much with other dogs or playing with toys and I'm still learning that humans can be pretty okay. Im totally fine as your one-and-only, but since I can be a bit of a shy guy, having a confident dog around might help me come out of my shell and show me the ropes! I wouldnt mind a buddy to help me feel a little braver, you know? A quiet, predictable environment sounds right up my alley, but maybe beneath my shy surface, there's a social butterfly in there! With the right family, I might just be the life of the party. Right now, I've got one paw in and one paw out of the Trust Zone, so a little patience is required while I size you up. But once youre in my circle, congratsyoure in the VIP section of my heart!

Fifi came to us when her owner passed away.  She is quite overweight and is now on a responsible weight loss plan from our vet. A combo of lower calorie food and good exercise.   When Fifi first arrived at her foster home she was extremely anxious and spent most of her days hiding under the bed.  As the weeks have gone on, she has become much less anxious and more interested in being with her foster family and engaged in spending time in the living room, or wherever the humans are.   If she does become frightened or overwhelmed (which is much less often) she will go into the bedroom and find her safe space under the bed (but not often now) Fifi lives with a couple of other dogs and ignores them for the most part.  If they come near her treats or food she may growl or snark at them to tell them to buzz off and leave her goodies alone.  She could live with another dog, but needs to eat separately and if she has a treat, the other dogs will need to give her space.  Now that she has woven into daily life and knows the other dogs better, she doesn't snark or growl much anymore. She is not an overly demonstrative dog but does lay by the foster mom and enjoys being pet under the chin and behind her ears.  She does not seem comfortable getting cuddled or snuggled.  If people come to visit she barks at them and may follow them from behind and nip at their pant legs but will stop now when redirected and has never made contact or bitten anyone.  She loves going for walks and is easy to walk; it seems she was taken for walks with a previous owner and she has nice manners and good experience with harness and leash and waits for you to put it on.  When getting ready for walks she is most demonstrative.  She would be fine for an apartment as she's not a vocal dog - only barks when people first come into the house and is quiet again  Fifi is housetrained, good when left alone and not a big barker.  She snores while sleeping and sleeps on a large donut bed. She is a lovely little dog, a bit quirky but once she trusts you she will follow and wag her tail for you.  She was good at the vet and did not show any signs of aggression while being examined and not even when her anal glands had to be emptied She is approximately 5 years old and weighs 13 pounds which is overweight as noted.  No medical issues November 12, 2024, 3:50 pm
