Story
Zara is a sweet loving girl. Zara currently lives with 2 other dogs and 4 cats. She plays well with dogs her size and energy level. She like to instigate playtime and can be very persistent which other dogs might find to be annoying. With cats for the most part she is good but when in play mood sometimes she needs correcting with leave it. Zara is great with children over 9 years old but we would not recommend her with very small children or first time pet owners. Zara needs a strong handler who won't back down to her as she sometimes tries to get her way and can be very vocal about it. With correction and persistence she follows commands. Commands Zara knows are leave it, paw, other paw, sit, wait, kennel, go, back up, come, here and down. On leash Zara is good with a harness but she still pulls and we are working on that. Zara requires a yard with a fence that is over 5 ft tall as she can clear a 4 ft one no problem. In regards to food she doesn't have any issues with people or children touching her food although sometimes with other animals she can guard her food. She sometimes needs to be reminded to take treats nice. Zara is still kenneled when left at home which is only an hour or two a day. When kenneled for long periods she will become destructive to show her disappointment with being locked up. She has done well at night not being kenneled.

German Shepherd Dog Husky

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We don't know a lot about young Kovu's life before his rescue. His past history has caused him to be nervous and unsure in certain situations. It has taken some time, but when he starts to relax, he really enjoys a good cuddle and some one on one attention. Kovu is smart and has learned quickly that being on a leash and going for a walk is a positive and enjoyable experience. His foster mom has been working daily on his leash training (all training in general) and because of her, he has made great strides and continues to make daily progress.When Kovu is very excited or gets over stimulated, he can play rough with other dogs and so he will need an experienced handler. Kovu is not submissive and will not run away. He plays nicely with dogs that he feels comfortable with both big and small, but his foster mom always monitors play time. He has very good recall. Kovu really wants to be respectful, but trust is hard for him and he struggles with being told what to do at times. Kovu will need somebody with large breed Shepherd/Husky experience who will not put him in a situation where he's going to feel threatened and be on the defensive. Someone that knows how to handle a dog with an unknown past. No cats. According to Kovu, cats are meant for chasing.It is very important for Kovu to have structure in his environment and daily exercise filled with plenty of fun activities. We think he needs a job because he is not a typical family/house dog. The more active he has during the day, the more content and relaxed he will feel in the evening.Kovu has definitely come a long way with training, but if allowed, he pushes boundaries and so on-going training is a must. He is a beautiful deserving dog, and although he wasn't treated the way he should have been as a puppy/young adult, he is worth the effort and time it takes to find him a wonderful home.

Story
Primrose is not only beautiful but she has a lovely temperament. She is curious about everything around her and loves to make you happy by learning new things. Prim is also surprisingly empathetic. To give an example, her foster mom has chronic health issues and Prim has faithfully stayed by her side on the down days, despite preferring to walk many kilometers each day. Primrose would be an ideal dog for almost any household, from a single person to a family with kids, but that's not to say she'll be an easy dog. Her intelligence and curiosity mean she will need to be mentally engaged and walked at least a couple times each day. She's likely to act out from boredom if just put in the yard to pee. As well, she gets very bonded so you may have some separation anxiety issues at the beginning. Yet it's the smartness and loyalty that make Prim one of those special dogs you never forget.

Story
Name: Beauty Gender: Female Age: Born Aug 24 2016 Approx.size/weight when full grown: 62 lbs Large height Breed: Shephard Mix History: She came into care early 2018 from Manitoba with a litter of pups. Shortly we found out that she had Heartworm. The treatment was hard but Beauty did great and in Dec 2018 finished her treatment successfully. Beauty is a energetic dog who loves to go out on adventures. It doesnt matter where you want to take her, if you want to leave the house she is up for it. She does also enjoy cuddling up to you on the couch or in bed for naps. Beauty gets along with everyone although can get a bit excited meeting new people and tries to give everyone kisses on the face but as she is introduced to more people she is learning to stay calm. One of Beautys favourite things is to receive belly rubs! She would love to lay there all day as long as you rub her belly. Beauty is good with cats as long as they do not try and run away from her constantly as she thinks they are playing with her and will chase them. She is dog selective so is ideally looking for a home with no other dogs, however she has been going to class to work on this and has already made major progress impressing her teachers. She would do best with someone who is willing to continue taking her to classes to help her continue to learn how to be around other dogs. Due to Beauty’s battle with heartworm she does have a heart murmur. Which isn’t surprising, infestations of heartworm can cause permanent damage to the heart even once fully cleared. As of now it is not at a point that our vets feel we can medicate as she’s not currently showing signs of heart failure. However it is something that her new home will need to understand and watch for. Follow her on Instagram @Synthias_Foster_Animals
