Likes: Being near the people he trusts and knows

Barks indoors, Shy, Fearful, Walks on leash
From Basil's Foster:
It’s amazing what a little patience, love and a safe place can bring out in a dog. In such a short time, Basil has gone from a very timid little guy to a sweet, affectionate cuddle bug who is starting to show us just how much love he has to give.
He absolutely loves being around his people and happily follows us from room to room. He’s discovering that being close to humans means comfort, cuddles and maybe even a little fun.
And this little guy is a gentleman on leash! He walks beautifully and calmly, and has been wonderfully non-reactive around other calm dogs. He’s taking in his new world with such a gentle, easygoing spirit.
Every day, we’re seeing more of Basil — more confidence, more curiosity, more affection. Watching him realize that he is safe, loved and cared for has been incredibly heartwarming.
From a frightened little soul unsure of his surroundings to a sweet boy seeking out cuddles and enjoying his walks… Basil is blossoming right before our eyes.
We can’t wait to see who he becomes when he has a family of his own.
Floppy ears, happy cheers

From Roany's Foster:
Roany is the sweetest and most humble dog you will meet. She loves to find her person to follow and sit as your shadow. She also loves finding her spot and surrounding them with soft stuffies. With big paws and a stubby tail going a mile a minute, she loves her treats and watching and following the other dogs in residence.
Teenie weenie
They call me : Winnie
Predicted Breed:Dachshund mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 4 years
Weight: 16 Lbs.
Rescued from: Los Cabos, Mexico
Likes: food and treats; chewing on stuffed animals; running around the house and backyard; hanging out on or near her favourite people and giving them lots of kisses; playing with other dogs; sleeping in the sun; and car rides.
Dislikes: Being left alone - she likes coming alone for all outings and will often try to get into the car if she thinks we are heading out.
Sharing her things with other dogs.
Ideal Home: Winnie would love an active home where she can enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, and adventures with her people and furry friends. She’s an energetic girl who truly enjoys staying busy and spending time with those she loves.
Winnie would also prefer a home where her people are around more often than not. She loves companionship and thrives when she can be part of the family’s daily life.
With her excellent hearing, Winnie is also quite the little watchdog! She’ll let you know when she hears something unusual outside, so her future family should be comfortable with a dog who likes to alert them when she thinks something is going on
Detached home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: High
Experience with Kids: Yes
Experience with cats: Unknown
Medical Needs: None
Training Needs: Winnie is an enthusiastic walker who is very excited to meet other dogs! She currently pulls quite strongly on leash and would benefit from continued training to help her develop better leash manners. When she spots another dog, she can bark and pull toward them because she is eager to say hello. Her excitement can sometimes be a little overwhelming for more reserved dogs.
Once she gets the opportunity to meet another dog appropriately, Winnie generally does very well. She enjoys sniffing and getting to know them and will often invite them to play. With continued training and positive guidance, Winnie can learn that she doesn’t need to greet every dog she sees on a walk.
Winnie has recently shown some signs of resource guarding in her foster home. She may guard her favourite people, food, and comfortable dog beds from the other dogs in the home.
She has even been known to claim two dog beds at once, leaving her foster siblings wondering where their reservations went! This is an area that her future family will need to be prepared to work on through appropriate management, consistency, and positive training.

From Winnie's Foster:
Winnie has been such a joy to foster! She is a confident, friendly, and active dog. When out on walks, she is eager to meet any and all dogs she encounters - big and small. Always up for an adventure, Winnie is the first one out the door when her people are heading out on foot or in the car. She enjoys spending time outside and is quick to alert us to any movements near our home. Winnie would be a great addition to an active home looking for a playful dog to add to the mix.
