Handsome mix King, in AZ continues to look for his forever home. King needs to be the only male. He is young (approximately 4 years old) and enjoys racing around the backyard and dog park. Please reach out if you are interested in meeting him.

Available to homes in Central/ Eastern Ontario, along the Hwy 401 & 400 corridor eg. Barrie, Trenton, Belleville, Peterborough, Kingston, Napanee, Gananoque, Brockville areas. We’ll also consider dog sports homes in upper New York state, close to his foster home.
Nitro is fostered in Kingston, Ontario

Time to Update Nitro’s Profile! This rat terrier/basenji cross is soft, silky, cuddly and sweet—moderately high energy when he’s not snoozing. He’s grown into a 37 lb bundle of joy and goofiness, but he he needs a handler willing to set and enforce limits. He’s currently expressing his teenage rebellion by literally talking back; He yields readily to authority, but not without a few sulky grunts, groans and squeaks.

At exactly 1 year old, he’s showing signs of becoming a responsible grown up: If his foster sister doesn’t want to play, he often goes out for zoomies in the (fenced) yard, preferably with a human to throw the ball; If he’s bored, he selects a toy from the bin and plays with it; He travels like a champ in the car, too!
He still has a ways to go, though—He’ll steal socks or clothes if he has access to them, and will drink your coffee or steal snacks if you turn your back! Both rat terriers and basenjis are cunning thieves!

He’ll do best with a medium—large, very playful doggy companion (he adores his foster sister) and at least one parent who’s home most of the day. While he’s crate trained, he’s so social that long hours alone aren’t really in his wheelhouse.

He likes respectful kids—more people to love on him? Yes please!—but has never encountered a cat. If they run from him, he’ll likely chase them. Confident, dog-savvy felines would probably be ok, but a meeting would be necessary.

A family who’d continue his recent start in Dog Sports would be ideal. He’s registered with the CKC for performance events, has almost earned his first Sprinter title and would excel in Nose Work or Barn Hunt events.

Nitro is neutered and UTD on shots.

Meet Nitro, a 6-month-old male Basenji/Decker terrier puppy! He is currently fostered in Kingston Ontario (Canada)

He’s about 22 lbs, neutered and fully vaxxed. He’s also *extremely* sweet and affectionate, and prefers cuddling on the sofa to almost everything—except food! He loves other dogs and has puppy energy to burn, but is smart and easily redirected to chew toys or games. He’s quickly learning to sit and behave for treats, and is on a potty schedule. He’s had only one accident in the house and kept his crate clean during his transport north.

The ideal home for him would be with semi-experienced dog parents, and he’d love a playful dog sibling. One pet parent who works from home would be best unless he has a dog sibling. He is still at the energetic, somewhat mouthy puppy stage so he might knock over or chase young children or cats who aren’t dog-wise. While he hasn’t barked yet, he is apparently capable of barking, so an apartment might not be the best choice for him.

His foster mom is open to transporting him halfway (within reason) to meet the right family—Fill out an application so we can discuss.

PSA: EMERGENCY VETTING -
Know before you go!!!

Cute pic to catch your attention.

We are all becoming too familiar with certain changes in the vetting industry like increasing costs, but some folks may notice changes in how vetting facilities are operating. What I’m about to share may only apply to our area, but it may be happening all over. Perhaps this isn’t that new and I’ve just never noticed.

We’ve had many new practices open and change around us. Most significant have been emergency services. Some emergency practices are now a bit more like human urgent care or walk-in clinics. They cannot do anything requiring presurgical bloodwork or anesthesia. If you think that your dog may need something like that, call first. You might otherwise lose valuable, critical time going to a clinic that is not able to help you.
