From Chiko's Foster:
Chiko has come such a long way in the year that we have had him. He has gone from fearful and scared to become an outgoing dog who wants to play with other dogs and people. He is full of love, but is also independent and happy to spend time on his own. We have no doubt that once Chiko finds the right home, he will share his love for you too.
I like big mutts and I cannot lie
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???
I labradore you
They call me : Bruno
Predicted Breed: Lab mix.
Sex: soon to be Neutered male.
Approximate Age: 1 year
Weight: 75 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Playing and sleeping and constant cuddling.
Dislikes: Bruno prefers to be with his humans. He will whine and scratch the door when he is first left, but quickly settles down.
Ideal Home: The best home for Bruno will be an active home that can ensure he gets lots of exercise and play time. He enjoys cuddles as well but is a young guy still that wants to have some fun. Because of Bruno's size we will only consider adoption applications from homes with back yards.
Detached home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: Medium
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: Yes
Medical Needs: Bruno has a neuter appointment booked on August 31, 2023
Training Needs: Bruno is still a puppy and would benefit from puppy training classes. In his classes he will learn to drop things he picks up which are not meant to be played with and will learn continue to learn how to be the very best boy. Bruno is a strong pup so he will need to work on his loose leash walking. We have not socialized Bruno yet so a slow and proper introduction to other dogs would be best.
Knows sit, Knows stay, Knows other commands, Needs basic training, Barks indoors, Barks outdoors, Chews, Walks on leash, Excitement Reactivity
From Bruno's Foster:
Bruno is an amazingly beautiful, loving, cuddly and empathetic boy. He plays well with anyone, kids and adults (however given he is a puppy and doesn't know his size, we would recommend he is only around older children). This wonderful boy has so much potential and is curious about everything. He would love to have a playmate and an active home that will keep him from getting bored. We think Bruno will be the perfect addition to most households.
Fur-real Cape Crusader!
They call me : Batman
Predicted Breed: Chihuahua mix.
Sex: Neutered male.
Approximate Age: 6 year
Weight: 10 Lbs.
Rescued from: California
Likes: Batman like to chewing sticks, dashie digging in blankets, cuddling and being with his perso
Dislikes: Being separated from people when he knows their around. Being in a kennel.
Ideal Home: Batman is a bit of a nervous pup so he will require a home with another confident dog to help him with his confidence. He would be best fit in a quiet patient home to help him to grow his confidence. He does not enjoy being left alone for long periods of time so a family home more than away would be best for him. Batman requires a detached home with a fenced yard.
Detached home, Condo, Quiet home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: Low-medium.
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: yes
Medical Needs: Batman has a grade 1 heart murmur
Training Needs: Batman can be nervous with new people or when in a new situation. He will initially run or hide away from people so adopters will need to work on slow and proper introductions with him. He will walk on a leash however he is nervous around loud noises so he will need a patient adopter willing to work with him on his confidence. Batman will do well with another confident dog to help him gain his confidence.
