Hello! I'm Carly!
Adoption Status:   TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Spayed Female | Yellow Lab X | Size: Medium (45 lbs)
Rescue Story:
​I had tick paralysis and a kind vet took me under her wing to help me get better and then helped me get into rescue!
Date of Birth: August 2011
Good with Dogs? Yes, I am fostered with other dogs.
Good with Cats? Yes
​Good with Kids?  Yes
About my Personality:
​I am a sweet and gentle soul, who has great house manners.  I am also crate trained too.  I am fostered on an acreage and I stick close by without fuss.  I can get a bit possessive of my food bowl & would be best fed separately.
How’s my Health?  I tested positive for Lyme disease a little while ago and I have recently developed some arthritis with some bouts of periodic lameness.  I also had tick paralysis, but I am back on my feet but I do walk with a bit of an unusual gait.

Neutered Male | Yellow Lab X | Size: Large (50 lbs)
Date of Birth:  April 2014
Good with Dogs? Yes!
Good with Cats? Unknown
Good with Kids?  Yes, I even sleep with them, if you let me!
About my Personality:
​I am a happy, fun-loving dog who loves people and other animals alike.  I love all people but I love my own people even more!  I think hanging out with people is just the best thing ever.  I love to cuddle and I like to try my best to fit on your lap!  There are so many things that I love, being brushed, going for car rides, walks, chasing squirrels & rabbits.  I did spend some time on an acreage but this proved to be a bad fit as my sociable nature caused me to go and visit.  I am a well-behaved dog in my foster home, & people who meet me can't believe I haven't been snapped up yet.  I am crate-trained & well-mannered in the house, I can even be left loose.  I am a smart boy, and eager to learn new things.  My foster family has even done some clicker training with me.  I have a great smile...check out my pictures and see for yourself! 
How’s my Health?  I tested positive for Lyme disease but show no symptoms.  I had an old injury to my back leg, but it doesn't bother me at all right now.  I have bouts of excessive licking, and the rescue has experimented with allergies and anxieties solutions and it turns out, all I might really need is a friend!  I am currently medication free and feel that a home with another dog would be best!

  Spayed Female | Malinois X | Size: Large (50 lbs)
Date of Birth: September 2009
Good with Dogs? Yes, but not another dominant dog like me
Good with Cats?  Yes
Good with Kids?  Yes, older kids, please
About my Personality:
​I am a smart, well-mannered girl, with great house manners & can even be trusted loose.  But I will also use a crate if needed.  I like to be queen when it comes to other dogs, so I will butt heads with another strong personality like mine.  I'd do just fine being an only dog too.  I had a little trouble adjusting to being back in rescue (I was adopted as a puppy) but I am doing much better now!  You should read up on the Malinois breed before meeting me, I can be protective of my people & show a lot of my breed's traits.  I would flourish best under the care of an experienced dog handler.  I'm good if you want to stay in and watch TV or go for a long hike!
How’s my Health?   I have recently been diagnosed with Stage 2 kidney disease (my creatine levels are still in the normal range but have increased slightly).  I am still very athletic and active....a real zest for life!

Date of Birth: April 2015
Good with Dogs? Yes
Good with Cats? No
Good with Kids? ​Yes, but I might knock smaller ones down
About my Personality:
​I am a happy, active boy with a sunny disposition.  I love to get out and do things, so I would love to find an active home where I can really stretch my legs.  I do have an off-switch, so I'm also up for a night on the couch watching Netflix.  I am not the best off-leash as my recall isn't the best.  I am currently in a foster home with a Malamute, who I think is the bestest friend ever!  I do very well having a dog that I like being around, this makes me want to stay close to home.  I would do best in a home with another dog that I can be a BFF to.  I am left loose in my foster home, and I do get into a little mischief every now and then (one time I cleaned the dirty dishes left in the sink, personally, I think I did a good job!)  I do not like to be crated, and I will find a way to get out of them.  I need some help to learn that my people will come back and that waiting in my crate isn't such a bad thing. 
How’s my Health? I am healthy.  I was recently diagnosed with Lyme disease by have no symptoms.

About my Personality:
​Can we be friends?  I love making new friends, I am a sweet girl who just wants to get to know you.  I just need a little time to warm up and then we'll be off and running!  I am fostered on an acreage, and I stay close by especially with my canine friends.  Sometimes, I don't want to go inside so you may need to bribe me with treats!  I have good manners inside, I am crate-trained but can also be left loose.  I walk well on leash and I am an excellent passenger in the car!  Do you have the patience to let me get to know you?  I will give  you lots of love in return!

Spayed Female | Pyrenees X | Size: Large (50 lbs)
Date of Birth: December 28, 2015
Good with Dogs? Yes, as long as they are willing to tell me when I am being too bossy
Good with Cats? Yes
​Good with Kids?  Yes
About my Personality:
I am a laid back young girl that still has some maturing to do.  I really enjoy watching the world around me and love sitting on the back step at my foster home.  But if I’m bored, I tend to get myself into trouble by digging in my yard.  I think it’s great fun but my foster Mom doesn’t think it’s fun at all!  I like all humans and I like playing with most of the dogs that I’ve met and I adjust my play when playing with smaller dogs.  I would do great in an only dog home or with another confident canine.  I’ve been told not to be so bossy by my foster mom and it’s usually with less confident dogs and only when my humans are close by.  I tend to be a self thinker at times and my family is patient with me with training until I dial in to what they are wanting from me.  I hear everything but just takes a few seconds to process what you’re saying into my language.  And I’m still at an age where I sometimes try to get away with not listening but my darn foster Mom doesn’t forget what she’s asked me to do.  I’m house trained and crate trained and am easy to have around.  I like walks and tolerate the long walks that my foster brother likes but I really could be happy with just a half hour walk or a quick romp in my yard.   I have some of the Great Pyrenees traits and have back double dew claws.  I don’t mind them but it does make for longer pedicures!

Hey! I'm Rocco!
Adoption Status:  AVAILABLE
  Neutered Male | German Shepherd X | Size: Large (50 lbs *underweight at the moment)
Date of Birth:  March 2016
Good with Dogs? Yes
Good with Cats? Unknown, but I did seem very interested in them when I saw one at the pound.
Good with Kids? Yes, school aged children
About my Personality:
Hey, I’m Rocco!  I’m brand new to this rescue thing but I am so happy to be in a great foster home who is showing me the ropes.  I am learning so much with their help, and I am happy to say that I am a fast learner!  My house manners are coming along very nicely.  I sleep in my kennel at night without a peep.  I love being outside!  I am fostered on an acreage and I stay close by when my people are outside with me but I also enjoy hanging outside on leash when they can’t be with me.  I have a few things to work out when it comes to food….I was too much of a pushover before and I would get left out when it came to feeding time.  I lost a lot of weight because I couldn’t compete with the other dogs to get enough to eat.  So, I sometimes can’t stop thinking about food and will look very hard to find some.  You have to make sure you put food away (I managed to almost eat my way through a bag of dog food in my foster home!).  I am fostered with another dog and I’ve tried to play with him but my lack of confidence sometimes makes me shy away.  I have no idea what to do with toys, stuffies or balls.  My favourite thing to do at the moment?  Sleep at your feet.  All in all, I am a big friendly guy with a happy nature who gets along with other dogs and people alike. 
How’s my Health?  I am healthy, but need to put on some weight.  I have a funny nose, and the initial vet assessment said it was "cosmetic".  The rescue people can't say how it happened, but I think it adds character!

Adoption Status:  AVAILABLE
Neutered Male | Labrador X | Size: Large (50 lbs)
Rescue Story:
​I was accidentally run over by a vehicle backing up and I was surrendered by my family to a rescue.
Date of Birth: October 19, 2016
Good with Dogs?  Yes, with proper introduction
Good with Cats? Yes, as long as they want to be my friend!
Good with Kids? Yes
About my Personality:
​Wow, have I ever come a long way since the day of my accident!  I only have one more surgery (please see How's My Health for details) but I am more than ready to find myself a forever home!  I am a bit of a happy goofball, who only wants to make friends with everyone.  I may give you a “woof” when we first meet but it doesn’t take long for me to dissolve into a puddle of wiggles and kisses!  That's only because I am discovering lots of new things and it sometimes takes me back for a second until I realize all is good...no need to be worried!  I have explored lots since coming into rescue, I even got to go camping!  Check me out in the water!  I would love to discover everything the world has to offer with you by my side....what do you say?  I promise to be your friend forever!
How’s my Health?  I had some serious pelvic and leg fractures after my accident.  I underwent surgery to have things pinned in place and have recovered fully from that surgery.  I am currently a busy pup!  Due to my accident, I have one leg that is about an inch shorter than the other, this may require surgery in the future to correct.  I also have a permanent kink in my tail from an old injury that wasn’t tended to.

I HAVE SPECIAL NEEDS, WILL YOU BE MY HERO?
Adoption Status:  AVAILABLE
Spayed Female | German Shepherd X | Size: Med. (Should be 45 lbs, currently overweight at 55 lbs)
Date of Birth:  July 12, 2013
Good with Dogs? Yes, with proper introduction.  I can be funny meeting new canine friends.
Good with Cats? Yes, with dog savvy cats
Good with Kids? Yes, school aged children.  I am a bit clumsy around toddlers!
About my Personality:
I am a gorgeous girl, don’t you think?  I have recently returned to rescue as my previous home could not accommodate my need for a home with few to no stairs.  I have troubles maneuvering down long flights of stairs.  See my health concerns below.  I am a bright and happy girl otherwise!  I do get along with other dogs, mostly dogs my own size, but I need a proper introduction and I seem to prefer going for a walk together rather than a simple nose-to-nose greeting.  I have been in a home with cats and do well with cats who have been around dogs before.  I have been in a home with kids, but sometimes I can be a bit clumsy around little ones and trip over them or knock them over.  I have good house manners and I am also crate trained. 
How’s my Health?  I am healthy but I have issues with my gait, likely due to poor conformation or an old injury that hasn’t healed.  The rescue has been exploring different causes for my funny gait.  I have had x-rays that didn’t show anything wrong with my hips.  I very much need to lose some weight (only 10 more lbs to go!) as being overweight does not help my condition.  I also may have some problems with my depth perception, and combined with my gait, I have difficulty making it down longer flights of stairs and sometimes this causes me to fall/trip my way down.

Good with Cats?  Kinda, I do like to chase them sometimes
Good with Kids?  13+ only
About my Personality: 
Hello, I’m Scuppers!  I am a mature fellow who is, for the most part, a pretty sweet little guy.  I am crate trained, and ride well in the car.  I enjoy going for walks!  I get along really well with all my new canine friends, and I think they really like me too.  The cats, well, the cats are a different story.  I have tried barking and chasing them but so far, they either ignore me or they run away, come back and rub up against me, and they’re also bigger than me so they don’t really take me seriously.  I would do best with cats similar in personality or no cats at all.  I have come along way since my dental surgery, I think I wasn't feeling too great before.  My foster mom has taking me out visiting lots and I've been doing great making new friends!  I think sleeping on the bed rocks!  And arms of chairs, but will spend the night in my kennel when asked.  
How’s my Health? UPDATE:  Scuppers dental resulted in all of his remaining teeth being removed.

Good with Dogs? Yes, will need proper intro & supervision until she’s comfortable
Good with Cats? Unknown
Good with Kids?  Older kids, please
About my Personality:
Hello.  I’m Selby.  I have a very submissive approach to meeting new people, and find myself somewhat unsure of how to be around men.  I will come to you, wagging my tail, rolling over to get a belly rub in the hopes that we can be friends.  In my previous home, I just couldn’t allow myself to be relaxed around the man of the house, but the rescue says they will expose me to new situations and new people.  I’m young and smart so they tell me that it’s okay, that I will get a boost in my confidence and that I can stop being so worried.  I have quite the spring in my step, and can hop out of a yard with a four-foot fence.  That’s why I need to find a new foster home.   I am just getting settled into the rescue and will update my profile soon!

Hello, I'm Domino
Adoption Status:  AVAILABLE
Neutered Male | Black Lab X | Size: Large (72 lbs)
Date of Birth: February 2016
Good with Dogs?  I can be picky about my canine friends.  Sometimes I am reactive, sometimes I am best buddies with another dog!
Good with Cats? With careful intro, should be okay
Good with Kids? Yes, but keep in mind, I might knock over the smaller ones!
About my Personality:
​I have come so far in such a short time here in rescue!  I came in quite confused and a little sad, but that's not me anymore!  I am an affectionate goofball who adores people of all ages.  My face always lights up when I see someone who wants to come and pet me.  I am leash trained and crate trained, and have learned basic obedience, like "sit" and "stay".  I am very smart and have so much potential!  I have a bit of a thing for chewing, so make sure I have appropriate things to chew and be patient when redirecting me.  Like I said, I'm very smart and I'm eager to make my people happy.  I am being "reactive" around other dogs in close proximity to me at the moment.  I did come in with two other dogs that I was living with, and met a new one at the pound and did okay.  Maybe with the right handler, someone who understands my reactions, and a slow, careful intro, I could live with another dog again.  So, if you are searching for a smart, happy, goofball....I'm your dog!

Hello, My Name is Greta!
Adoption Status:  AVAILABLE
Spayed Female | Terrier X | Size: Small (24 lbs)
Date of Birth: July 2014
Good with Dogs? Yes, but I tend to ignore them 
Good with Cats? Unknown
Good with Kids? Older, calmer kids please
About my Personality:
Hi, I’m Greta!  Walks?!  Did someone say walks?  I LOVE walks.  So much fun and I get to smell so many new things.  My foster mom lets me have free reign on the leash for awhile and then does that ‘heel’ and sit thing.  I’m getting better at it but I have a way to go yet.  She is teaching me cue commands to do my business too.  I haven’t quite mastered that yet either.  I prefer not to mess up my yard but go fairly quickly on my walks.   Once I get to know my family, I dote on them with many hugs, kisses and snuggles.  I get so excited when they come home. They are my world! I love to play too!  My foster family taught me how to play fetch!  I didn’t know how much fun it could be.  I enjoy car rides too.  The smell of the fresh air is wonderful.  If we go too fast, I curl up and go to sleep. Even though I get excited I have learned how to sit, stay, wait and come.  They even trust me not to run away when I’m off the leash in the yard. I had a bath!  That was a new experience but it sure felt good.  They don’t call me Goofy Greta for nothing!  I get so silly when I am clean.  Since I’m only three years old, I have lots of energy and need to walk and play.  I ‘m pretty good with other dogs I meet but for the most part, I ignore them.  I am still quite timid around new people but with all the ventures my foster folks have had me on, I’m slowly improving.  I’m shy and it takes me awhile to warm up to new people.  Little ones scare me.  I like older kids as they don’t make me nervous and they are great at playing with me! I want to find a forever home where I can share my love and attention, and get lots of play and attention in return.

Adoption Status:  
I FOUND MY FUR-EVER HOME!
Neutered Male | Shepherd X | Size: Medium (40 lbs)
Date of Birth: July 2016
Good with Dogs? Yes
Good with Cats? Unknown, I saw one briefly at the pound, and did okay
Good with Kids?  Yes, I haven’t met many kids in my foster home, but I seem to like all humans!
About my Personality:
​I came into rescue loaded with pesky ticks and quite underweight.  The ticks are gone and I’m all healed up from that experience and I’m working on getting a healthy waistline.  I’m sooooo happy now and love this rescue thing that happened to me!  I get to play with dogs ALL THE TIME and have been good with all the dogs that I’ve met.   I’m house broken although I did have the urge to mark my territory in the house when a new dog came over for a play, but that was the only bathroom accident that I’ve had.  My foster Mom says that I’m pretty easy to have around….I love following her around and seeing what we are going to do next!  I like going for walks too and now that I have this leash thing figured out, I’m pretty easy to take for a walk.  I’m just such a happy guy so I’m still working on not jumping up so much.  But in my defense, I’m super light on my feet and forget the four on the floor rule a lot cause I just love giving hugs!  Oh and I nailed the crate training in one week and I still have lots of learning to do but I’m eager to please.

​I FOUND MY FUR-EVER HOME!
Female | JRT X Beagle | Size: Small (24 lbs)
Date of Birth: February 19, 2015
Good with Dogs? Yes
Good with Cats? Yes
Good with Kids? ​Yes
About my Personality:
​Yoohoo!  I’m Macy!  I am friends with everyone I meet!  I made fast friends with the dog in my foster home, I used to live with cats and I love, love people of all sizes.  I have quite the bounce in my step, so I may be a bit much for toddlers as I may knock them down accidentally.  The rescue says I came into rescue as a “victim of non-pet friendly housing”, but I don’t know what that means.  I am learning to relax and trust my foster family as I was a little out of sorts initially.   Now the stuff you really need to know about me.  I have no recall.  I will follow my nose and wherever it takes me, and I will go…fast!  I just need a handler who takes the little extra bit of time needed to make sure I am safe and secure when out on walks and when people are going in and out of doors.  My foster home has a big fenced yard, and I am more than happy to run around and play fetch or chase the butterflies!  One more thing you should know about me….I don’t have great leash manners.  I will need someone who can work with me and teach me not to pull.  I have been clean in the house, no accidents!  The rescue was told that I was good loose in the house and not kenneled as I don’t like to be confined.  But they will test that and see if I can be crate trained safely in the very near future.

Female | Norwegian Elkhound X | Size: Medium (60lbs*)
Date of Birth:  August 2009
Good with Dogs? Yes, I might grumble a bit when we first meet just until I realize they are not a threat to me
Good with Cats? Dog savvy cats, I might like to chase them if they run
Good with Kids?  Unknown.  I haven't met any yet in rescue, but I am a gentle older girl, so likely would be happier around older kids
About my Personality:
Boy, do I have a story to tell!  I lived way up north where some kind nurses were caring for me.  They mistakenly assumed that I was pregnant and my “pups” and me were in danger.  Many rescue people came together and I flew down to Winnipeg, where I was then transported to my waiting foster momma.  Then they found out I wasn’t pregnant!  Oh well, they are very happy to have me here and as much as they love puppies, they are also very happy that I will never have another litter of pups.   That’s just fine by me, I’m ready to retire and enjoy a soft, comfortable forever home.  I may not have spent a lot of time indoors before but I have discovered that I sure do love the couch!  And I am a wannabe lapdog, that is until I get too warm.  I have excellent off leash recall and I do enjoy going for walks with my people.  There's still lots to learn about me, but so far, I am a sweet gentle companion to my people.
How’s my Health?  I am a senior girl and my foster momma says I have some stiffness in my bones and that maybe my vision isn't what it used to be when I was a young’n.   I still need to be spayed as well and it will be done as soon as I am ready for the surgery.

Good with Kids?  Older, calmer kids, please
About my Personality:
I am a sweet, happy boy!  I had a bit of a rough start in life and recently had a bad encounter with a porcupine.  That's when I was rescued!  And boy, my life has become full of adventures ever since!  I can be a little nervous at first, but once you show me I have nothing to fear, I'm good to go.  I can also be a bit shy of new people, but once I get to know you, my goofy side shines through.  I have experienced lots of new things lately!  I had never been in a car but now I love car rides and have already been on a few long trips.  I am calm and quiet and just like to sit still and take it all in.   I have also been in a boat and guess what?  I am a really good swimmer too!  My foster mom says I am not only good looking, but that I am really smart too.  I have learned a few tricks and have good recall and come when I am called.  I can be trusted off leash in a safe place and not wander off.  I have good manners in the house.  I sleep in my own bed and don't get into any mischief!  I had not been on a leash before so I may pull a bit but I absolutely love going for walks!  My favorite thing is to be with my people and am happiest when I am included  in all you do!
How’s my Health?  I am healthy.  I came into rescue shortly after I had been quilled by a porcupine.  Ouch!  But I am doing really well…no side effects!

Date of Birth: October 18, 2014
Good with Dogs? Yes
Good with Cats? Unknown
Good with Kids?  Yes
About my Personality:
My family had to move far away and couldn’t take me with them, but they made sure I was safe with FFFF before they had to go.  I was sad for the first day or so, but now, I’m getting more settled in at my foster home.  Wanna hear something funny?  My vetwork says I am a lab x shepherd…..but it’s kinda obvious that I am a terrier mix!  I have that lovely scruffy face and wiry terrier fur.  I’m a pretty good boy!  I am kennel trained and you’ll likely find me napping in mine.  I am in a foster home with little kids and my family had little kids, and I do just fine with them around.  I’ve never met a cat so if you have one, we’d have to take it slow and easy to see if I like them or not.  I get along with other dogs, but seem to simply like hanging out with one as opposed to being a playmate.  So, I don’t think I’d enjoy a canine friend who might bug me to play, play, play.  I kinda get a little put off if the other dog comes on too strongly.  You’ll often find me playing by myself or with any lucky human who wants to play with me!  I do love my human friends with all my heart and sometimes I get a bit jealous if the other dog is getting to much attention.  Oh, and I am a cuddler!  So, I’m still pretty new so watch for updates on me to come!
How’s my Health?  I am healthy.
