Story
Meet Ada! Estimated to be between 5 and 6 years old, this gorgeous girl found herself in a high kill pound in Quebec, with large mass on one of her legs. Since being rescued, she has had the mass removed and thankfully, it was benign. She has now recovered from her surgery and is ready to find her happily ever after. Ada is a funny, bouncy girl, who loves her walks. She would be happiest being the soul queen of her castle, as she is not comfortable with other large breed dogs, particularly those who are of a higher energy or dominant nature. She can co-exist with smaller, calm and submissive dogs, but truthfully, she prefers the company of humans over other canines. She has shared space with her feline foster sibling, but has been known to give chase when the kitty got a little too close. While Ada seems to enjoy children, she does become anxious if they are too loud or active, so we are looking for a home without young kids. Ada has impeccable manners in the home, and has not required a crate when left alone. She has zero destructive tendencies, and she does not have accidents indoors. Her leash skills are a work in progress, and she seems to walk better with a harness, but does respond well to correction. She is a dog who is motivated with affection and positive attention even more so than by treats, and she is truly eager to please. Ada does have some touch sensitivity in certain areas around her paws, legs and backside, and will give a low growl to let you know if you are making her uneasy. This could be a result of something that happened in her past, and her new family will need to be aware of her comfort level when handling her. Ada LOVES car rides, knows several commands and is mastering a few tricks. She seems to bond with one person in particular, and is a great hiking buddy who also loves snuggling up on the couch next to her favourite human.
