***URGENT****
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FOSTER WHO CAN TAKE HIM.
WE TOOK SIRIUS FROM A SHELTER TO SAVE HIM FROM EUTHANASIA BUT WE DON'T HAVE A FOSTER RIGHT NOW.
Location: Kitchener, Ontario (transport possible with David Johnston )
Meet Sirius,
This active 1yr old boy is looking for his forever home 🏠
Sirius was found running as a stray in Quebec. When he first came to us he showed signs that he had only known a life living outside. He is now fully crate trained and potty trained.
Sirius loves to play fetch with a ball and loves a good game of tug!
Sirius is a project dog looking for an active breed experienced home to meet his high energy exercise needs, and someone to continue working his brain in obedience. He currently knows the basics of sit, down, place, and is working on his leash manners and is walked in a prong collar. He needs a person who understands that he is still learning how to be a house dog, and that he doesn't need to do everything in full energy and drive.
Sirius has shown high prey drive with small animals and cats, so a home without these is required. He has high ball drive, and low food drive. He has been tested in protection and showed potential in defense drive.
Sirius prefers to only play with female dogs, and when he does he needs to be paired with someone who likes to play rambunctious and rough like he does.
Sirius has some mild leash reactvity when he sees dogs on walks, predominantly if they are reactive to him first, and has show some reactivity in the dark on walks when seeing people in big coats or with a hood/hat on, but corrects easily and stops. We believe this is just due to lack of exposure/socialization and will go away with time.
When Sirius has had his needs met, he is a very sweet boy who loves being pet and enjoys chewing his bone/toy on the couch beside you, but does benefit from crate time during the day to settle.
He will continue training every day in his foster home, but would love a family to call his own. At this time we reccomend no kids as he is high energy and rambunctious and can still be a mouthy puppy.
