Adoptable Dogs

Suds

Suds is a 3 year neutered male Bichon-Poodle mix with a white curly coat reminiscent of a frothy confection or a bubbly brew. His bubbly personality seems to match his appearance now that he has got over his initial shyness and is becoming more comfortable in his new surroundings. The adorable Suds is showing us a different facet of his sweet nature each day as we gain his trust and provide him with the opportunity to express himself. He has quickly produced his favourite - and perhaps most productive - trick, which is to sit up and beg quite vigorously until he gets the required attention, walk or treat. Well, who could resist the entreaty of such an appealing little fellow, especially when his gratitude knows no bounds in terms of doggy devotion. We find that Suds is good with other dogs as well as cats and he could happily coexist with either or both. Since he is inclined to be shy in new surroundings or with new people at first a fairly quiet home would be ideal. Once he bonds to a new person or family it will be with the tenacity of a loyal and faithful friend. For more information on Suds please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. No young children due to his smaller size and vulnerability. .Suds is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Butler - COURTESY POSTING

Meet Butler - an absolutely gorgeous boy who is about 1 1/2 years old. Butler came to HART from the pound -- he was a stray who had been lost while his family was camping in the area. His family were later located, but refused to drive back to claim him, instead leaving him in the pound. His exact breed is unknown but he appears to be a GSD mix, with perhaps collie ? He weighs 50 lbs, but is in need of muscle mass. Butler will probably top out under 60 lbs once he fills out. He is neutered, vet checked and vaccinated. Butler is social with people and is a very lovable and calm boy. He's a gentle boy who watches your every move and wants to be with you at all times. Butler is house trained, understands a lot of commands, and enjoys going for walks. He finds crating to be stressful, but has given no indication of any behaviours that would suggest that he would need to be crated when left alone. When left alone, he is fine, but very excited upon the return of his foster guardians! Butler is getting to know the other dogs in his foster home and thoroughly enjoying playing with them and enjoys their company. He does have some food guarding issues with other dogs, which is quite manageable by feeding him in a separate area. He is fine with people taking food away from him. He's a charming boy and will make a great companion for the right family. His ideal family will have the time and energy to exercise an active young dog. He loves to play fetch and the run and play and will require opportunities for daily exercise. He is not suited to a home with young children as he is still in need of further training to learn to respect children and not try to mount them and be pushy with them. A safely fenced yard is required. His adoption donation is $275. HART's process to adopt begins with submission of the adoption application found at www.hartanimalrelief.ca .Butler is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered. .My Contact InfoHART - Highland Animal Relief Team Bancroft, ON 613-338-3333 Email HART - Highland Animal Relief Team See more pets from HART - Highland Animal Relief Team THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING. .Butler is up-to-date with routine shots and spayed/neutered.

Dandy and Blossom

Dandy and Blossom are 7 month neutered/spayed Shih-Tzu/Terrier mixes, with the emphasis on the Shih-Tzu which seems to be the predominant breed. These darling little dogs range from the 8 lb Dandy to his slightly larger sister who weigh in at about 12 lbs. They did come to us as a litter of 5 but three lucky pups are already in wonderful homes where their lives as treasured family pets are now beginning. Dandy is the extrovert and little Blossom is still somewhat shy but is comfortable taking the lead from her sibling. Either of these puppies would do well with sharing a home with another dog or cat but would especially love to find a family who have the time to enjoy their puppy-hood. This adorable girl and her handsome brother are sweet natured and show no inclination toward nipping or any type of dominant Behaviour. They are ready to join their new families for a life time of love and sweet devotion. Please call: (905) 939 - 2692. No young children due to their smaller size and vulnerability. .Dandy and Blossom is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Toby

Toby is an 8 month neutered male Yorkshire Terrier weighing 8 lbs. He has come into our care because of his previous care-giver's health issues and it is with great sadness that he was given up to be re-homed. This adorable little boy with his silvery coat and winsome ways has been a cherished and well cared for companion. His youthful optimism has kept him from being too traumatized by his change of circumstances but, understandably, he is somewhat confused and missing his special person. We are committed to finding Toby another home where he will once again be treasured and pampered. He is not one to take advantage of being spoiled and is extremely well behaved considering his tender age. Toby is both house and crate-trained and knows the boundaries of acceptable puppy play, both with people and other dogs. Because he is a puppy Toby will need a home where someone has lots of time to enjoy his wonderful personality and generous nature, providing him with love and companionship in return. Please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692 to arrange to meet this awesome little guy. No young children due to his smaller size and vulnerability. .Toby is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Cricket

Cricket is a tiny 5 lb, six year neutered male Yorkshire Terrier who's zest for life is somewhat contagious. His sparkling personality and bright eyed optimism elevates this little boy to the heady spheres of all round canine companion. He doesn't consider his small stature to be an obstacle nor does he shrink from lighting up his own small corner of the universe with the brightness of his love. Cricket is searching for someone for whom the devotion of a small dog would be appreciated and reciprocated. Young retirees would find Cricket to be the perfect pet to take for a stroll in the park, to entertain them and to enhance their lives with his sweet presence.

Coffee

Coffee is a 5 year spayed female Wheaten Terrier with a teddy bear temperament, a heart of gold and enough love to sustain an entire family for many years to come. This beautiful girl with the soft golden coat offers a mature dog's outlook on the world with the wisdom, dependability and grace that only maturity can confer. Coffee exhibits many of the best loved Terrier characteristics and seems not to be burdened with the less admirable traits such as prey drive or excessive barking. Because her lovely coat was somewhat neglected it was shaved down by a volunteer who does not profess to be a groomer. Coffee is happy just to be cool and is pleased with her temporary urchin cut. She a quiet, gentle little lady who yearns both affection and approval from the people in her life and possibly she has missed out on both so far. Perhaps her patience will be rewarded and Coffee will find love just around the corner. If you meet her you will become addicted, in a good way - she will be your morning dose of good cheer and a comfortable presence throughout the day. Please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Coffee will be waiting. .Coffee is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Ebony

Ebony is a 10 month spayed female Newfoundland as far as we can ascertain. She is fairly small in stature for a Newf but it is not unusual for the females to be quite a lot smaller than the males. Of course, being a rescue dog she has not come to us with breed papers so it is possible that there could be the influence of another breed in her family tree. We were privileged to be owned by a large male Newfie for many years and certainly recognize many of his wonderful traits and mannerisms in Ebony. Our boy had the huge advantage of being loved and wanted from puppy-hood and thus was a well mannered family member. Ebony, at her young age has the potential to be a wonderful addition to any Newfie loving family. Although she is lacking any formal training, with a little structure and a whole lot of love in her life her gentle nature and desire to please would ensure an easy transition from exuberant puppy to a more tranquil adult,. Ebony is excellent with other dogs and would be thrilled to share her home with a new brother or sister - access to a body of water would be a bunus! For additional info on this awesome girl please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. .Ebony is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Cagney and Lacey

Cagney and Lacey are 3-4 year spayed female Pugs who's somewhat pugilistic appearance belie their disarmingly delightful personalities. These babes soak up affection like soft little sponges and give back as good as they get with snuffling kisses and gyrations of their curled tails. They are currently enjoying the good life in foster care, a far cry from their previous existence as breeding dogs. They are quite a bonded pair and although their curiosity takes them on mini adventures in the yard they are always looking out for each other for support and assurance. Perhaps their mutual affection has been the only light in their otherwise joyless lives. Cagney and Lacey have not, however, been deprived of ample nourishment and perhaps food has been a source of comfort to them. A weight reduction plan coupled with a healthy exercise regime would restore them to proper Pug proportions - although Pug people know that slim-line Pugs are not the norm. We would love to see these little girls adopted together but separate excellent homes would be considered. Please call us for more details at: (905) 939 - 2692. No young children due to their smaller size and vulnerability. Cagney and Lacey is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Ruby

Ruby is a 4 year smaller sized spayed female Beagle who's love of people is apparent on first acquaintance. Her ability to offer affection to all and sundry without thought of reward is both touching and essentially Beagle-like. This special little girl is in our programme due to family illness and has been a much doted on family member who's joyful presence is very much missed. Naturally Ruby is well versed in house manners and doggy decorum so she will be sure to bring those skills to her new home. She would be thrilled to be part of a family where her Beagle charm and sweet nature will be fully appreciated. She is, of course, wonderful with respectful children and would thrive on as much attention as she could muster. She is also fine with the other dogs here so she could well share a home harmoniously with another dog as long as her offers of love and devotion to people were reciprocated. If you feel there is something missing from your life, perhaps it is the love of a Beagle. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend but Ruby may be yours. For more info on this little gem, please call: (905) 939 - 2692. .Ruby is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Georgie

Georgie is an 4 year old tiny neutered male Jack Russell Terrier who's zest for life and wonderful up-beat personality endears him to everyone he meets. He has certainly won us over with his flair for making the most of each and every day and accepting the bad with the good. Well, the bad news for Georgie is that he is without a home, the good news is that we have made it our mission to find him a family or individual deserving of his abundant love. He certainly does not look or act his age and, typically, smaller dogs remain active well into their later teen years so little Georgie has many more years of a happy life ahead of him. Jack Russell's are know to be very smart and quite active and although Georgie is by no means a hyper-active dog he does enjoy walks, and also play time to satisfy his need for mental stimulation. He is awesome with other dogs of all sizes and both genders, which is not always the case with his breed. He would do exceptionally well in a home with a canine brother or sister or someone with time to cater to his need for companionship . Can you offer this pint sized pet the perfect home? If so please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. .Georgie is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Emma

Emma is an 18 month spayed female Husky/Shepherd mix who wins hearts wherever she goes. She is a very timid girl, and prefers quiet low key environments. This lovely girl has clearly been through a lot. Though she was scared at first and it took her a while to come around, once we got her to wag her tail there was nothing else like it. She came to us afraid of new people, places and adventures. She has since pushed her way into our hearts and home. She follows the lead of the resident beagle dog in the house and would do best in a home with other dogs (who can teach her it's okay to be a goof around humans). She was scared of men and cats but has managed to charm both in her new home. She would do great in a home that is not strict with obedience training and has a gentle touch. It does not take much to make her behave so yelling and being rough is not what she needs. She will be timid in her new home the first few days, and needs tons of love, along with space and reassurance. But once she comes around get ready for tons of kisses and hugs. She is allowed to "jump up" and hug humans as it comes from such a loving place; this habit has not been discouraged by us as it gives her so much joy. She has definitely been the most gentle and delicate dog we've had a pleasure to live with and she loves to love you after she gains a little confidence. She requires patience and love so she can start to trust again. She is an absolute joy and ready for a permanent loving home. Emma is being fostered for us in Toronto. For more info on this lovely girl please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Emma is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

Mitch

Mitch is a 2 year neutered male Border Collie/Australian Shepherd with the striking markings of the Border Collie and also some characteristics of the Aussi, most noticeable being the short tail. He is proving to be an extremely smart and easily motivated dog who already has a firm grasp on basic training as well as additional skills such as going down on command, shaking paws for a treat and, undoubtedly, he has more tricks in his repertoire as yet to be discovered. This unique and attractive boy has a lot to offer his new family in the form of companionship, loyalty and fidelity. His enquiring mind, keen intellect and excellent conformation will enable him to fulfill many roles including formal obedience, agility, doggy sports and activities as well as walks, hikes and camping with his human friends. He is also fond of travelling and is well behaved and quiet in a vehicle. Mitch is good with other dogs and would happily share his new home with a canine play-mate, male or female. He has been formally introduced to Opus the resident cat, who's tolerance of cavorting canines is minimal at best, and showed little interest in asserting himself - meeting grudging approval from his nibs. If you are a fan of the herding breeds and can offer this gorgeous boy the home he so richly deserves, please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Mitch is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered
