Well, hello! My name is Clyde and I am here seeking a forever home through no fault of my own. Ideally, I need a home where someone is home more often than not and has a fenced yard for me to run around in.

I love humans! Maybe a bit too much, as I jump up rather relentlessly at the sight of one. For this reason, I would be best without young kids. I previously lived with teens, so that is ok. I love being in the company of humans so much that I do try to hop out of the yard to get to one if I am outside alone. I would prefer you to be outside with me, but I also need to learn not to keep jumping on you in excitement!

I previously lived with a female dog and did well with her. I currently have a male dog friend, but I am very pushy and dominant with other dogs. I don’t start altercations, but I push other dogs to the point that they would, and then I will retaliate. I greet on leash with grumbles, and then do ok in short intervals until my pushiness gets tensions higher. I can live alone if someone accompanies me outside, but I can also live with another dog that meshes with my personality well. A meet and greet will be required with any prospective other dogs in my future home! Please, no cats.

I can be alone for a work day, but I should be in my crate just in case my anxiety gets the better of me at times! I am mostly ok, but sometimes howl or fuss at the fencing in my kennel. It is sporadic, and since I am already crate-trained, it just makes sense to maintain that in your abscense. I am house-trained as well and very tidy (but playing in mud is fun!).

I walk decently on leash unless I see another dog. I get excited and rowdy at the prospect of a new friend. I need someone that will give me structure and training by keeping me calm in these scenarios. In the kennel, I ignore the other dogs behind fencing. I know some basic commands like sit, down, leave it. I will wait until my food is down before diving in.

It is said that I am mostly calm at home and love to laze around either with my humans or nearby. I would love a work-from-home situation so I can keep you company in the office, but with exercise and stimulation before a day at work away from home, and crating me, I should be ok as well. I am mostly good and calm in the kennel throughout the day as I go outside first turn! If you can bring me to work - even better! I love car rides, and just beign with my people any chance I get!

For an experienced and dedicated Husky owner, I will thrive in your home. If you’re not experienced, then a trainer might be a good idea to help us get off on the right foot. I have been evaluated by a couple of trainers, and those notes will accompany me as well!

I am neutered, up to date on all of my vaccinations, dewormed, and microchipped. I am ready to go home with you!

Sir Spencer is our quirkiest boy. He wants affection, but only in short duration and on his terms, with the people he chooses! He really enjoys being talked to and moving his ears up and down.

He needs someone that is willing to be patient and learn how to make spencer happy, safely! He prefers women, but will accept men after time. While we believe there is someone out there for him, if he has to live out his life with us, he will do so.

Needs:
No kids
No cats
No dogs
Very experienced female person

He is very adorable, but also lacks confidence. He tries to be dominant, but then gets submissive and defensive. He's a one-of-a-kind kind of guy! And he needs to be met to fully understand him.

Handsome Mr. Storm is also seeking an outdoor home ideally! The snow is his FAVORITE! He will spend all day burrowing and having an absolute riot in every fresh snowfall!

He grew up inside, however, he's always loved being outside! His 2 failed adoptions were indoors, and he took to guarding entire rooms, and hiding toys in furniture, then guarding that. Outside, he is just the best boy! HOWEVER, he CANNOT be muzzled. He has gotten a lot better about being held by the collar, but any restraint gets his anxiety to escalate quickly!

Needs:
No kids
No cats
No dogs
Outdoor only home
Experienced owner

Storm has been with is for several years, and working around his quirks is easy if you can read dog body-language and are confident. He needs a special kind of human! We know that human is out there somewhere!

Shadow is a quirky boy that needs to live in a 1-person home... and that person must be a female! He is a protector by nature - of things, soaces, and his person. He doesn't do well sharing with multiple people.

Needs:
No dogs
No cats
No kids
Single experienced female

Ideally, he would be in a home where he lives outside, as he has been outside most of his life as a retired sled dog from Quebec. He has virtually no behaviour problems when he's outside - his issues stem from indoor anxiety and escalate quickly.

He isn't a fan of being crowded or quickly approached by children, so absolutely no children. He had one bad experience with a child, and now he can't stand them.

Can you offer him a secure outdoor rural environment? Apply today!

Mika is such a calm girl, it's astounding she has zero interest for nearly 2 years! She has a jaded past with bite histories, but has been such a good girl the last 2 years! And, it's really not complicated - leave her be. Don't try to cuddle her and just let her exist in your home, and you'll get along just fine!

Needs:
No kids
Cats with extreme caution

She's a submissive lady with other dogs. She does resource guard with humans and a tiny bit with dogs. Her former friend used to bully her and steal her food, so she had to defend it and herself.

She is not hyper at all. She has even lived in apartment for years! She just needs someone to let her be a dog and not a fur-baby!

Dainty little Daisy is DESPERATE for a home! She's much too delicate for outdoor living. Winter is coming. At only 16kg, she can fit into just about any type of dwelling! However, her anxiety requires someone home most of the time. She'd be perfect for an active work-from-home person, or a retired person with a fenced yatd and good throwing arm! We'll even provide a ball tosser!

She's VERY ball-driven. As she is dog-reactive, and will re-direct the frustration towards a human if fixated long enough and disturbed (never bad bites - only minor punctures, and only has happened twice). She fixates on a task, activity, other dog, or thought in her head. A ball can usually distract her.

Needs:
No dogs
No cats
No kids
Fenced yard for playing ball
Someone at home

She's very soft and sweet and light enough to carry, small enough to fit in a lap. She's a homebody rather than an adventure companion as she gets over-stimulated. The right person can train her though! She's desperate before the snow falls!

Piper has been working on her extreme dog-reactivity since her return to us. While it has improved, she still needs to beba solo pet in the home. However, she should be a little easier to walk on public streets.

All she wants, is to be with her human at all times, and inside the house. She also travels very well in the car. While she is very energetic and riddled with anxiety, she is calm inside with her people. She's not interested in having a big fenced yard to run around and play in.

Needs:
No dogs
No cats
Someone home more often than not
Adventure buddy

She's good with kids of all ages and loves attention from any human!
