Check out our Tulip is 3 years old and a chunky 13 lb. She loves dogs,cats and kids. Tulip is needy and loves attention. She does not have separation anxiety to the point that she ruins things, however she is a whiner and is always following you and pawing at your legs for attention. She needs a family that is home often and can give her all the attention she so much craves. Tulip is very social and great on a leash and harness. She says hi to everyone she meets and will be bff’s with every dog at the park and anyone willing to give her pets. She will quickly become the star of the show and a huge part of your family.

Story
Hi, I'm MaddyThe GHS Family thinks I'm the sweetest girl ever because I walk up and just lean against them- just so you know I'm there and wanting some pets. I can have a shy side, but once I get to know you I'll be your most loyal gal-pal ever. I have beautiful, expressive eyes and my slow tail wag will just melt your heart.My future family should know that while I did live with other dogs and cats in my previous home, I really like my food and don't like it when other pets come too close. I did get into a fight with my dog-friend over this, and so a home familiar with resource guarding and methods to positively manage this in a multi-pet household would be recommended (or that I be the only pet). I can sometimes be nervous of strangers, and in the previous home would bark if a stranger came in the front door. I've lived with kids before but due to my sensitive nature, the shelter would prefer to see me go to a home with mature children who are understanding that they'll need to be gentle, patient and respectful of me. The shelter is presently closed due to COVID, however if you are interested in me please send an email to adoptions@guelphhumane.ca. Thank you for considering me in your home!

Story
Little 1 year old 5.5 , spindly Ellie. This little girl is like a sour patch kid, first she’s sweet then she’s sour lol. Ellie has a bit of bipolar disorder but has never bitten. She is full of love and cuddles,kisses and tail wags until she is getting her nails or ears done or you are trying to put a harness and leash on her, or basically making Ellie do anything that little miss priss is not in the mood to partake in. She may get a little growls or snap at the air in warning you she is not happy. Ellie is the type of dog that is like a toddler child and if you let her get her ya, she has your number and she way smarter than you may think. If you have a stern voice when she is throwing one of her epic Ellie temper tantrums and tell her NO be Nice. She will stop. If you give into her she is going to be a drama queen for everything. Ellie is very loving. She tends to be the dominant one with other female dogs but still gets along fine with them. She does best with the boys. Ellie likes to play but mostly likes to be held and coddled. She has long spider legs and she often picks her paws up high while walking, predominantly on her right side. We thought something was wrong with her at first but after a vet check, Ellie has no breaks or issues with her legs, she is just weird and holds her paws up at times like she does not like grass or dirt on her paw. She may have had a previous injury that healed and she had gotten into a habit of holding up, not really sure. Ellie plays and runs,jumps on furniture and has no issue mobility wise. She is ready to be spoiled and available in. Amanda only.

Texas Chihuahua Rescue - Canada 4 hrs · Dusty is a Beautiful little soul. 2 years old and 9 lb. Dusty is a submissive shy little gem that does well with all the dogs, cats and well mannered children. He wants so much to be loved and to love his human as well. He gets nervous in new situations but is not overly timid. He is doing well on his leash/harness manners and potty training but is still a work in progress as he is a shy boy. Dusty is just such a gem and he adores attention,cuddles and exploring the yard but is very low key and not very hyper. He is a lap baby for sure. Available in Canada only.

Story
Our sweetest little Polliwog. She is 10 years young and a wee 3.5 pounds big. She has birth defects in front limbs and possibly a bit in her rear limbs as well. She is a special girl and has zero problems with mobility. She walks in the grass and up and down the dog stairs to get in the human bed or sleep in the sun spot on the couch. Polliwog does have a bit of arthritis which is to be expected at her age and with her limbs already have a deformation. She does not ever appear to be in pain and although she walks like she has socks on that are ten sizes too big, she walks all over and does just as well as any other tiny dog her age. Polliwog is basically perfect. She is great with other animals, cats and dogs and older children. Because of her size and age we ask no small children please. Polliwog is not potty trained in the slightest, so that will be a work in progress however she will not go potty on the furniture and she does sleep in bed through the night.
