They call me : Solar
Predicted Breed: Shepherd/husky mix.
Sex: neutered male
Approximate Age: 12 months
Weight: 35 Lbs.
Rescued from: local surrender
Likes: Solar loves everything but can be a bit impatient if you make his food too slowly. He loves to be outside on his own or with you in the home. He loves playing with other dogs and is up for just about any adventure you want to take him on.
Dislikes: Being alone.
Ideal Home: Solar is a high energy pup so an active family would be best for him. He does great with kids and other dogs. He would do best in a home with a yard for him to run around and play in.
Detached home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: High
Experience with Kids: Yes
Experience with cats: unknown
Medical Needs: Solar is a parvo survivor and because of this he does require a specific food (Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Stomach). Solar has been going to physio and they are treating him for mild hip disfunction which is common in younger dogs. We have seen great improvements with him attending physio and would ensure adopters are able to attend a physio session with Solar so they can understand the exercises that are helpful to keeping him happy and healthy
Training Needs: Solar is such a good pup and is eager and ready to learn new things every day. Solar is lacking in confidence when meeting new dogs and will bark when he sees them however if you practice a slow and proper introduction with him he becomes playful and submissive. The more you work on introducing him to new dogs the more confident he will become and likely this behavior will start to subside. Solar is house trained having very little to no accidents in the home.
Knows sit, Knows stay, House trained, Crate trained, Barks outdoors, Prey drive, Walks on leash
From solar's Foster:
My name is Solar, I have been in the rescue since I was 5 weeks old and have been very patiently waiting for my forever home now for nearly a year. I know there is a family out there that wants to adopt me.... .right?
I am a happy dog with so much love to give. I really enjoy playing with my foster siblings and new dogs when I meet them. I looooooovve food so I am easy to train! I do get a bit nervous on walks when I see another dog but I am told if I am a good boy and practice meeting new dogs properly I will get better at this. My foster family is amazing but I would really love to be in my forever home and starting my new life with them. Are you my forever family???

Ideal Home: Arnoldo is a quiet pup that is needing to work on his confidence. He needs another confident friendly dog in the home to help him with this. He can go to an attached home.

From Arnoldo's Foster:
Arnoldo is a very sweet boy. He is very quiet and loves to relax at home and be close to his person! He will take some time to warm up but once he does he will always want to be beside you. He loves his treats and kibbles and a comfy spot on the couch. He should be with someone that wants to just relax and let him have his space

She is exceptional at agility and can do almost every obstacle. She has met some children and was a bit shy at first but did well. She is very easy going and can be left at home while you are at work. She can be a bit mischievous and steal shoes or sometimes chew things she shouldn’t. She has improved a lot in this respect and we rarely have issues anymore. She is potty trained. Chikis is an amazing dog who will bring so much joy to your family!

We have never tested him around cats but we think he would be ok.

Cosmo will require basic training but is very food motivated!
Cosmo needs time to come out of his shell and to start to bond with you but once he does he will follow you around and maybe even be brave enough to cuddle with you. He loves his puzzle games and is very smart. With the right family he will become a very loving and loyal companion!
Knows other commands, Pee pad trained, Needs basic training, Shy, Fearful
From Cosmos's Foster:
Cosmo is a really sweet boy. He will take time to come around to his new family but is playful and curious despite his fear. He loves other dogs and will be clingy to them. Cosmo is very food motivated which is helpful with training. He has made huge progress with us and I am optimistic he will eventually be going outside and walking on leash. He is pee pad trained and never misses. He loves toys and doing doggy puzzles. He will be fine in any home that has a friend for him and can allow him the space to come out of his shell.

Jax is a sweet and patient pup who absolutely LOVES playing with his ball or squeaky toys. He enjoys the company of older kids and keeps up with their energy while on walks. Jax will play fetch for hours! If you are busy, he will play fetch with himself by flinging his toys around to catch! While he can keep up with high energy, he is also a very calm and relaxed dog at home. He can be found resting in his kennel or calmly lounging about while you watch TV.
Jax is highly food motivated and enjoys performing tricks for a yummy reward. He will focus on you while on walks if a tasty treat is involved. Jax is a snuggle bug and, when invited, will join you on the couch or bed for a snuggle session. He loves when he is with his people.
Jax lights up when he is at an off-leash park! Although Jax has a mostly calm demeanour at home, he can be one fast pup when he is free to roam! If you bring a ball on a walk, Jax will zip off to fetch it every time it is thrown.
Jax is a perfect mix of energy! When you are looking for an adventure, he will be right by your side, happy to accompany you. When you are needing some down time, he is happy to entertain himself and relax alongside you. He's truly a gem!

Adopters will need to work on this with her as well.

From Lulu's Foster:
Lulu’s greatest desire is for someone to love her and cuddle her and give her food. She would love to have someone that is home more than away.

With proper introductions, she is okay with other dogs but she wouldn’t mind having all the love from her family! She has so much love to give and just wants someone to love her as much as she loves them.
