Moxie
Moxie is a bright eyed, bushy tailed three year old Lab Husky mix
who weights
about 60 pounds. She is spayed and her shots are up to date.
Moxie is a high energy dog who does not want to be confined in a
crate. She knocked over
my large metal crate and squeezed through the top of the door to spend
her first day alone
lounging on the sofa and greeting me at the door when I returned from
work. She will need
an owner who is able to provide lots of exercise to release all her
pent up energy. When
she goes out into my fenced yard, she tears around leaping up onto
the deck without
using the four steps, running around up there and leaping back down
again
before doing several circuits of the yard.
Moxie likes to play with her small foster sister but needs to be
monitored as she can
play a little rough. She was surrendered by her owner who tells me
Moxie has not had
formal training but she sits on command and will shake a paw to get
her reward. She needs
some more training on leash walking as she likes to walk at the full
extent of my six foot
leash. She appears to be submissive when approached from behind by
other large dogs
at Bruce Pit. She walked happily all around the pit but would love
to be off leash to run. She
would be a great running partner as she trots beside me when I do
short jogs around the
neighbourhood. She likes to sit on the sofa or lay on the floor at
your feet and has developed
the habit of sleeping on the bed. She would do well with older children
as she does not
seem to know how big she is and could easily knock over younger, smaller
children.

Bobby
This little guy is a three year old Chinese Crested (Powder-Puff),
weighing about 11 pounds. Bobby is neutered and his shots are up to
date. Once he knows you, Bobby is a very sweet, affectionate boy.
He shares a house with three resident and one other foster dog, but
has no interest in playing with the other dogs. I have been told that
he is fine with cats. Bobby’s two favourite things are going
for walks and cuddling on mine or my husband’s lap. He will
happily “talk“ while being given a good rub down. He is
also very funny with shoes and will rub his face in them, never chewing,
but just totally loving the wonderful odours! Bobby will do best as
the only dog (cat OK) in a home where there are no young children,
and where someone is home most of the time. Because of his nervous
nature, Bobby does bark when excited, scared or when someone new comes
into the house. Bobby knows some commands, “sit”, “down”,
“outside”, “off”, “treat”, and
we are working on “come“ and “quiet“. He would
benefit from obedience training in a setting where he is exposed frequently
to other new dogs and people. All this sweet little guy wants is to
be someone’s best friend forever. With the proper guidance he
will make a wonderful companion.

Turtles
Turtles is a happy energetic puppy that wants to be part of the family.
He learns very quickly
and adapts to new situations easily. A bit wary of new places and
dogs when he meets
them he quickly gets over that and will soon be playing and enjoying
the new friends. Turtles
is working on his housebreaking and coming along quite nicely. He
knows sit and come and is
working on 'stay out of the kitchen'. Turtles is crate trained and
sleeps through the night. This
is a lovely puppy that will easily fit into any household. He would
do well on his own but
would also be happy with another dog to play with. Turtles is respectful
of other dogs and
loves kids. I am certain that he would easily adapt to living with
a dog savvy cat.

Blizzard
This blonde blue-eyed beauty is looking for a home of her own. Blizz
is confident and outgoing
in familiar environments but becomes shy and reserved when taken off
home turf. This pup
needs a kind and understanding owner who is willing to put the work
into getting her out
and letting her learn that the world is not a big scary place. This
pup wants to be your best
friend and companion and in return she asks that you be her guardian
and protector. Blizz
gets along well with other dogs that she knows. She is crate trained
and working on her
house training. Blizz wants a fenced yard to rule over and a warm
home to keep her cozy.
She will do well on her own or with a canine companion.

Toblerone
Lindor
Ovation
This gorgeous blue-eyed Husky boy is Ovation, born December 12, 2009.
Ovation is a happy,
good natured little guy, who loves to run and play. He learned his
place in the pack of three
resident dogs and one other foster quickly. He sometimes forgets that
the elderly Maltese is
not a playmate, but listens when she reminds him in no uncertain terms!
He is shy when
meeting new people but comes around fairly quickly. Ovation is very
affectionate and loves
to be cuddled on your lap. He learned “sit”, “away”,
“off” very quickly and we are working on “come”
and leash walking. He is eager to please (especially for a tasty treat)
and listens
quite well when corrected. Ovation will need a home with a fenced
yard and owners who
will give him lots of exercise. This sweet, affectionate boy will
make
some lucky family very happy.

Flurry
Flurry is a three month old female husky. She is UTD on shots and
will be spayed by BARK
when old enough (6 months). She is a happy, energetic puppy who loves
the company
of other dogs and people too … she’s happy to follow you
around the house and
sit on your feet everytime she gets a chance! Flurry is being crate-trained
in her foster
home. However, she does not like to be left alone and can be quite
vocal about it. For
this reason, she will not be placed in an apartment. She would do
better in a home with
another dog to keep her company. She is also working on her housebreaking
and making progress.
Flurry is really food motivated which makes her easy to train. She
knows sit and come
already. An obedience class would be a great way for her and her new
familly to bond .
Flurry will definitely need an active familly as huskies need a lot
of exercise. She will also
need a secure fenced-in yard to rule over!

To inquire about adopting Meadow please call
Nadine at 819-776-5090
Meadow
Her striking white fur coat and beautiful bi-coloured eyes will catch
your attention but it is her
sweet disposition and cuddly nature that will truly win you over.
This little girl spent most of her
life chained to a post in the middle of a forest, starving and never
knowing the love and comfort
of a real home. She was one of the 100 huskies rescued from a remote
location near Mont-Tremblant.
Despite her difficult start to life, she has so much love to give
and will make a loving addition
to any family willing to give her the exercise and cuddles she so
rightly deserves. Her foster family
has exposed her to cats (one of her favourite playmates is a young
Ragdoll cat) as well as other dogs
and some small animals. Although, being a husky, it is recommended
that all interactions with small
animals be strictly monitored. She even participated in a Santa Claus
parade and was hugged by
many of the excited children watching the show! Her foster family
is working very diligently on
housebreaking this little girl but she is not quite trustworthy at
this point. She is crate trained and
learning her manners.Meadow is spayed and her shots are up to date.
If you think
you are able to give this little girl a loving home
to call her own, please give us a call.

Trey
Trey is believed to be 8 years old. He is a loving, good
natured dog who is great with other
dogs and people. We have not seen him around cats or small children
so have no idea how he
will react with them. He loves to be outside and likes lots of petting.
Trey is slighly skittish due
to the circumstances he came from. He shys away from new people and
sudden movements,
opening doors, etc. initially but once he knows is allowed to take
some time to adjust, he
quickly recovers from his nervousness. He needs a good home for his
retirement. He is a very sweet older dog. Trey is neutered and his
shots are up to date.
________________________________________________________________________________
Indigo
Indigo is believed to be about 3 years old. He is a very sweet dog!
He is great with other dogs
but we have not seen him with small children or cats. He is playful,
loves to run and loves petting. He is quite
the character who always amuses us! He shows no signs of initial nervousness
but he has never been in a city environment so not sure how he would
react to the activity.
He is an amazing dog with the brightest blue eyes! Indigo is neutered
and his
shots are up to date.

Teddy
Dear Mature Dog Petfinder,
I am trying to find a home for this little dog for my friends who
can no longer look after him because of health reason. I hope that
you can help us.
Teddy is a pure bred Fox Terrier (no papers) who will be five years
old on March 23, 2010. He stands about 18 " tall and weighs 20
lbs.
He is a very high energy dog who likes people and cats but does not
like other dogs. He has been neutred but other than his injections
when he was a puppy, there have been none other given over the years.
Teddy has not been allowed out except on a leash or tied up. He has
some undefined food allergies which manifests itself with hot spots
so the vet has recommended that he eats "Neutral Balance"
brand potato and duck dry food. He is mostly house trained but seems
in his current situation to get up during the night to have a bowel
movement.
The owners are Lenoir Swain and her daughter Joanne Onyons whose phone
is 613-658 2311. They live in the Spencerville area.
I have cc'd Joanne with this email and am attaching some photos of
Teddy as well.
Thank you for any help that you may be able to give, and blessings,
Barbara Monk.

Romeo and Emmy need a good forever home. They are purebred registered
German Shepherds,
4 yrs old, male and female, both fixed and up to date on their vaccines.
The lady that owned them is ill and
cannot keep them. I would like them to go together as they have never
been apart and are already
devastated that they don't have their home anymore. Romeo takes a
little time to warm up to
strangers but is a big suck when he gets to know you. Emmy is a little
timid but very friendly. These
dogs have not had a lot of training and would need someone who is
going to take a lot of time
and teach them what they need to know. They are both housetrained
and very good in the house
but don't know the basics like sit, down and come. They also require
a fenced yard and a child
free home. If you think you can give these two the home they deserve
please
contact me at
scharfgate@sympatico.ca.

Duchess
MEET DUCHESS.
Duchess is five years old with a wonderful personality for people,
children, and even other animals....
but only inside the house. Outside, she's socially retarded and MUST
try to dominate every
non-human creature she encounters. To the eyes of another dog walker,
Duchess does not seem
friendly but she's never hurt another dog…she's just trying
to be dominant. Thus, any time Duchess
is off leash is risky. On leash is fine though she'll pull and dance
and bark at other
dogs. It's the terrier side of her personality you see.
Duchess is quite bright. She does tricks and won obedience school
and even met with
the dog psychologist. She's a sweetie but neither treats nor attention
short circuit her need to
stalk and pounce on other creatures. So, we walk Duchess on a haltie
Now, once she knows
your dog, they're great chums. Duchess is great with our 21 month
old little guy Liam and is
very affectionate. She offers the occasional alarm growl or barks
if there's a strange noise
or a knock at the door. In our opinion, the perfect spot for Duchess
is to be a house dog on
a big property that she can run around on with another dog. Of course,
that sounds
like a pretty good environment for almost any pooch! If you'd like
to meet Duchess,
we'd love to meet you to see if there's a "good fit".
