ROUGE is one of the “Fab Four” we saved from being euthanized at the Pound. The only reason that was going to happen to her was because they needed the space to bring in more unwanted or dumped dogs. She’s spayed, microchipped and vaccinated including rabies. She is a beautiful girl but definitely high energy and looking for an experienced Shepherd owner.  ROUGE has both beauty and brains and a very smart, loving girl who craves attention. Her favourite place to be is right beside you on the couch so she can get snuggles and belly rubs. She does need lots of exercise to help burn off that energy so she’s definitely looking for an active family who can give her the exercise she needs, take her on trail hikes and lots of adventures. She travels well in a vehicle and gets excited when she knows going in it. A fenced in yard is required for her as she loves to run around in one and chase out the squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, well let’s just say any creature that dares to land in her yard. She does need a fenced-in yard as she does love to run around and play outside. She hasn’t met a cat but we’re advising no cats in the home due to her high prey drive. She has a 6yr old child in her foster home and they get along great. The little boys favourite thing to do with her is lead her around the house on her leash. She takes it all in her stride and just follows behind him just like his little shadow.  ROUGE is crate trained and will sleep soundly in it at night. She’ll also go in it during the day and nap while left alone. She’s housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go out to the bathroom. She’s a very social girl and loves to chase and run around with the other female dog in the home so she would do well with a fur sibling in the home. The dog will need to be calm and not get too worked up with an energetic dog like Rouge around. She does have a high prey drive so we’re not recommending she be with cats. ROUGE is very strong so leash walking was a challenge at first but after being introduced to a Halti, she’s doing amazing and walking right beside her foster like a good girl. She can be reactive to other dogs when out walking but she is now learning that if she doesn’t bother them then they won’t bother her. We do recommend obedience/leash training for her and this will be beneficial for both Rouge and her new owner as it will help them bond.    If you are interested in meeting ROUGE then please put in an application to meet her. 

TUXEDO hails from Poplar Hill and came down south in search of his forever family. He’s neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped and been deemed healthy by his vet and ready to start his new life. This handsome, gentle boy will be a great addition to just about any family as he has such an easy going nature. He loves to cuddle with you on the couch and he loves being told what a good boy he is. TUXEDO is housetrained and will let you know when he has to have a bathroom break. He’s crate trained and will sleep quietly in it all night. He’s a very social boy and gets on well with other dogs and he’s in a foster home with with another male Husky with no issues between them at all. His foster is working on his leash skills with him but we would definitely recommend professional training for him so he knows what’s expected of him on his walks. He’s never met a cat so we don’t recommend a home with one. He does have children in his foster home aged 8 and up and he’s great with them so as long as they’re dog savvy, gentle and respectful to dogs.  TUXEDO is an active boy so his ideal family should be an active one too. They should also enjoy the outdoors, walks and hiking in the woods. He travels well in a vehicle and is always willing to go on adventures too. He does require a fenced yard as he loves to run around and play outside. He’s just learning a few commands like “sit” and “stay” which he will always do for treats and his meals. He’s is very food motivated and is currently using a slow feeder to help him slow down when eating at meal times.  TUXEDO was recently adopted but was returned to the rescue through no fault of his own. The details of his return will be discussed in the phone interview after an application has been submitted.  If TUXEDO sounds like the boy for you and your family then please put in an application to meet him.

BARISTA hails from Cat Lake in Northern Canada. She cane down down south with 5 of her puppies in search of finding a family to call her very own. Her puppies have mostly gone to their new homes but she is still patiently waiting for her turn to find one. She’s had her vaccines including rabies, microchipped and been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. She has not been spayed yet but that’s due to the puppies being recently weaned off her. However, when the time comes for her spay it is included in her adoption fee. Her breeds are just an educated guess based on what she looks like as we have no knowledge of her parents. This sweet, gentle girl will be a great addition to just about any home and she wants nothing more than to be with her very own family.  BARISTA is crate trained and sleeps soundly in it throughout the night. She is housetrained and has never had an accident in the house. She does pretty well on a leash and loves to go on walks on the trails and in her neighbourhood. She’s very friendly with all the dogs she’s met so would suit a home with a fur sibling for her or equally, she could be an only child.  She loves to play fetch with a rubber balls and generally just give it a good chase around the back yard. This is a great way for her to burn off some energy too. She does require a fenced in yard to keep her safe and so those balls don’t run away on her. She would love a family who enjoys walking, going on the hiking trails and loves the outdoors as much as she does. She wants them to know that she’d always be up for an adventure or two as well. She had a long drive from Thunder Bay to Barrie with no travel sickness so she should do well when travelling in any vehicle.  BARISTA hasn’t had a lot of exposure to young children so we are recommending they should be aged 10 and up. She should NOT be in a home with a cat as she has a very high prey drive. Obedience training should be on her list of  “things to do” as she would really benefit from it.  If BARISTA sounds like the girl for you then please put in an application to meet her.   

VENUS hails from Cat Lake and came south with her 6 puppies in search of a better life. She’s been spayed, vaccinated including her rabies, microchipped and been given a clean bill of health by her vet. We’ve just made an educated guess as to her breeds as unfortunately we have no info on her parentage. She’s a very gentle loving girl who was a wonderful nurturing mum to her puppies. However, she definitely has an energetic side to her too especially when it comes to playing outside.  VENUS is crate trained and sleeps soundly in it at night and will also go in it during the day for a nap. She’s a true northern girl as she has lots of energy for running around and playing outside  in the yard with the two resident dogs but when she comes inside the home, she relaxes quietly on her dog bed where she enjoys chewing on her bone or rubber toys. She’s very good with eating around the other dogs in the home and will sit calmly for her food or treats.  VENUS loves to be around people and to have reassurance that she’s loved. She’ll snuggle with you on the couch or lay right beside your feet. For this reason she would best suit having someone home for a good part of the day with her. She loves going on walks but would benefit from some formal leash training as if she gets excited she will pull. She has never met a cat so we wouldn’t recommend her being in a home with one. She has met children and was very good with them and we’re recommending they should be aged 6 and up and should have large breed dog experience. Her ideal family would be one that loves the outdoors as much as she does and enjoys walking and hiking on the trails too. She travels really well in a vehicle and would always be up for a road trip that leads to an adventure or two. She is housetrained and will let you know when she needs to go outside to use the bathroom. If you would like to meet VENUS then please put in an adoption application. 

ROMEO hails from CAT LAKE in Northern Ontario and he came south with his mum and 5 siblings to find his forever home. His mum is a Labrador Retriever/Gt Pyrenees mix and weighs 60lbs but his dad is unknown. The breed mix we have him listed as and the size he’ll grow to be is just a guess as we really have no way of knowing. He’s had his first and second sets of puppy vaccines, a microchip and been deemed a healthy boy by our vet. His nick name is Chunk due to being the biggest in the litter. He’s a happy-go-lucky, confident and fun loving guy who loves nothing better than giving out puppy kisses and cuddling with you.  ROMEO is crate trained and sleeps quietly in it through the night and will also take his naps in there during the day. His house training is going well and he has very few accidents in the house now and when taken out for a bathroom break he will usually go. He’s doing well on his leash and really enjoys going on walks. He’s a well socialized energetic puppy who loves to play with with all sorts of toys and play chase with the resident dogs in his foster home. He would love to find a family who will take him on walks, hikes and basically enjoy being outside with him. He does okay in a vehicle but it’s not his favourite place to be and a couple of times he’s been in one he’s had an upset tummy. He hasn’t met a cat but if the cat is dog savvy and with a monitored introduction they should get along okay. Children should be aged 6 and up and he does require a fenced-in yard. Puppies are fun and cute but also require a lot of work, patience and dedication to training. We need his potential adopter to be in agreement to sign him up for obedience/puppy training in order to adopt him. His neuter is included in his adoption fee and will be performed at the Barrie SPCA by the time he’s 8 months of age or reaches 60lbs (whichever comes first.) We also need you to be in agreement with this in order to adopt him.  If you would like to meet ROMEO then please submit the adoption application to do so. 

SHERBET came to us as she was abandoned at a dog groomers/kennel. We do know she was in a home with a few other dogs though. She’s spayed, had her vaccines including rabies, is microchipped and deemed a healthy girl by her vet. This lovely quiet girl with the exquisite blue eyes is very loving and rarely barks at anything.  SHERBET was quite underweight and very timid when she first went to her foster home but she’s come such a long way since that time. She’s put on weight and she’ll now give tail wags to get snuggles and belly rubs. She’s a very friendly girl albeit a bit timid of meeting new people and is slightly cautious with men. She’s definitely turning into a people dog though and is getting more comfortable when meeting strangers and even tail wags are happening with them now.  SHERBET is housetrained and will let you know when she has to go outside for a bathroom break. She’s also crate trained and will sleep quietly in her crate all night. She loves going on walks and is good on her leash and rarely pulls. She loves going in a vehicle especially if it leads to an adventure or lovely walk for her. She’s looking for a home with a family who will take her on the nice long walks she loves as well as going on the hiking trails for walks in the woods. She would also love it if someone was home most of the day as she’s with a foster who works from home and she loves to snuggle up in her dog bed beside her. She was great with all the dogs she met at the kennel but she did recently meet a dog and they just didn’t like each other for some reason. We always have our dogs meet with a dog that will end up being her sibling as we can then all assess if they’re a good match for each other.  SHERBET requires a fenced yard to keep her safe and to allow her to run around and play with her outdoor toys. She’s never met a cat and she would suit older children of 10 plus as she’s not been exposed to any younger since being in foster care. She can do “sit” “stay” and “paw” she also takes treats “gentle.”  She would definitely benefit from obedience training and it’s also a good way for her to bond with her new owner. If you would like to meet SHERBET then please put in an adoption application yo meet her.

THACKERY came from Slate Lake which is a Northern Ontario community and he came south in search of his forever family. He’s neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped and been deemed a healthy boy. We’ve been told one of his parents was a Golden Retriever but no information on what breed the other parent could be. At a guess though, we think possibly a German Shepherd. Seeing as we don’t know both parents the size he’ll grow to be is also a guess but seeing as he’s just on a year old, chances are he’ll not grow much bigger. THACKERY is crate trained and sleeps quietly in there through the night and he’s also housetrained and will let you know when he has to go outside for his bathroom break. He loves to go on walks but would benefit from some leash training so he understands what’s expected of him when leash walking. He’s well socialized with other dogs and currently being fostered with 2 resident dogs and they all get along very well. Other dogs also come over to the house for visits so lots of doggie experience for this young man. Seeing as he loves to be with other dogs we would like to see him go to a home that has another one and one who’s a gentle soul just like he is. He loves to play outside in the yard and run around with his friends so a fenced-in yard is required for him. He has met a cat in his foster home and he’s not bothered by him at all but they haven’t actually met face-to-face so we would only recommend a home with a dog savvy cat and the two should only meet under strict supervision. THACKERY is very playful and loving and he loves nothing better than getting attention and having snuggles with his human on the couch. He is a sensitive somewhat anxious boy due to not having had a lot of human interaction but he did get attached to his foster mum pretty quickly. He now wants nothing more than to be with her so we would prefer him to go to a home that has someone who’s around most of the time. The toys he can play with are quite limited as he loves to chew so he would need super strong chewy ones, Nyla bones, deer antlers etc. Due to being a bit anxious he needs to be monitored if he starts to chew on his dog bed or blankets as he has been caught doing that a few times. An experienced dog owner is required for him and a quiet home to suit his sensitive nature. He’s not been exposed to too much noise and he tends to be a bit jumpy because of that. He does know some basic commands like sit, stay and will take his treats “gentle.” He does love his food and eats alongside the other dogs in the home with no problems at all. He hasn’t been exposed to children so we’re recommending they be aged 12 plus and be caring and loving towards dogs. He’s still under a year old and he would definitely benefit from obedience/leash training so please only apply for him if you’re going to be committed to doing this for him.   If THACKERY sounds like the boy for you then please submit an adoption application to meet him. 

ASHOKA comes from a Northern Manitoba community and came south with his brother (Alaric) to find their family. He’s had his first vaccine, a microchip and been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. His breed is a guess as is the size he’ll grow to be as we have no knowledge on his parents. He’s a very social, playful, little guy who’s curious about this world around him. He loves to play with his toys and chase a ball around. Crinkle toys seem to his favourite to play with and excitedly run around with.  ASHOKA is crate trained and will sleep soundly through the night in there and he’ll wait patiently in the morning until he’s taken out for his bathroom break. He has just started to wear a harness and leash and go for short walks on the grass. He loves exploring and finding leaves and sticks to chew on, the odd stone too if you don’t watch out. His housetraining is a work in progress but he does use a pee pad kept in front of a door.  ASHOKA would love his family to be an active one to take him on lots of walks and hiking on the trails. He travels well in a vehicle and will always be ready for an adventure or two. He’s met a cat and isn’t too curious about him so with a slow monitored introduction he should be fine with one in his new home. He is very social and loves people as well as other dogs he’s met. He already working on his manners and sits for his meals and takes treats “gentle.” He’s met children but we do recommend they be 6 and up as well as kind and caring towards a puppy. He also requires a fully fenced yard for him to play in and to kept safe.   Puppies are fun and cute but also require a lot of work, patience and dedication to training. We need his adopter to be in agreement to sign him up for obedience/puppy training in order to adopt him.  His neuter is included in his adoption fee and will be performed by the time he’s 8 months old or reaches 60lbs (whichever comes first.) We also need his adopter to be in agreement with this as part of our rescue policy and his adoption agreement. If you are in agreement with the above and ASHOKA sounds like the guy for you then please complete the application in order to meet him.

CAESAR is a friendly, outgoing little guy who’s an owner surrender and through no fault of his own finds himself in our rescue looking for a new home. He’s neutered, vaccinated including rabies and microchipped. He has been seen regularly by a vet and his vet record shows he’s a healthy boy and the only thing noted is that he has the start of some tartar build up on his teeth. This little lap dog is a super friendly, outgoing little guy who wants to have a family that will have someone home with him most of the time to give him lots of attention as it’s important to him that he not be left alone all day. He just wants someone to love him and spend lots of time with him and enjoy having cuddles on the couch together as much as he does.   CAESAR is crate trained as well as house trained and is generally a good boy around the house. He likes children but will bark if they’re running around and chasing after him so we recommend they be aged 10 and up and will be loving and gentle towards him. He lived in a home with 2 cats and they were best of friends so he’d definitely suit a home with cats.  CAESAR walks well on either a leash or harness and loves to go on his walks so he’d need an active owner who loves walking as much as he does. He doesn’t bark at people or dogs on his walks but if there’s a knock at the door, well that’s a different story! We don’t recommend him going to a dog park with larger dogs as he’s just a little guy and could be easily set upon. It’s also not recommended that he be off leash until a strong bond has been formed between him and his owner and his recall has been tested for him to return to you. He loves playing with all sorts of toys, curling up on his dog bed and of course having treats. He’s pretty chill and well behaved and will easily fit in with most families but would probably suit an older household rather than a young family.  If CAESAR sounds like the little guy for you then please complete the adoption form to meet him. 

OLYMPIAS hails from Summer Beaver in Manitoba and came south with her sister (ZENOBIA) to find their new family. She’s had her first set of puppy vaccines, a microchip and been deemed a healthy girl by the vet. We’re not sure if she’s a full Husky or the weight she’ll grow to be, we are getting her mum into the rescue within the next week though, so will then have more of an idea of her what her weight could be. OLYMPIAS is ALL Husky! From crying when she gets her nail trimmed, to climbing over her X-pen, to being chatty and even her energy level. Saying all that though, she’s super loving and so smart. She already sits for her meals and takes her treats “gentle.” She sleeps soundly in her crate at night and has been waking up around 6:30am. She does fuss when she first goes in but soon settles down. She loves to chew on rubber toys, have snuggles and curl up in a cozy dog bed.  OLYMPIAS is looking for a very active family who will take her on walks, hikes and lots of adventures. They must have Husky experience and realize the energy they will have to put into making sure her exercise needs are met. A fenced yard is a must and children should be aged 6 and up and be caring, loving and gentle to animals. Puppies are fun and cute but also require a lot of patience and dedication to training. We need her adopter to be in agreement to sign her up for obedience/puppy training in order to adopt her.  Her spay is included in her adoption fee and will be performed at 6 months of age and we also need her adopter to be in agreement with this as per our rescue agreement and in order to adopt her.  If you would like to meet OLYMPIAS then please complete the adoption application to to do so.

MULAN hails from Kenora and was part of a litter of 10 however we just got her and her sister, Boudica. She’s had her first set of puppy vaccines and she’s microchipped. We have no knowledge on either parent so the breed we have her as and the size she’ll grow to be is just a guess. This happy little tail wagger is such a loving little girl who’s excitedly awaiting the arrival of her family to take her home. Her easy going nature will make her a great fit for any family especially seeing as she loves to give kisses and and be snuggled up beside you.  MULAN is crate trained and sleeps quietly in it all night but she’ll let you know when she wakes up in the morning as she needs to get outside for the bathroom. Housetraining is a work in progress but she will go outside when taken. She’s only just started to go outside on her leash and she enjoys going on little walks. She has lots of toys to play with and she enjoys the playing with the crinkly ones. She’s very well socialized with other dogs as there’s 2 small ones and another puppy in her foster home.  MULAN is looking for a family who will take her on lots of walks and hikes to help her burn off that puppy energy. She enjoys going in a vehicle and will also be up for being taken on an adventure or two. She requires a fenced yard to keep her safe. Children should be age 6 plus and be loving and kind towards a puppy.

CLEOPATRA hails from Wapekeka in Northern Ontario and came south to look for a family to call her very own. What we know of her is that she was kept tied up outside of a home and just bred so she’s had a few litters but just how many, we have no idea. We have no knowledge on her parents so her breeds and the potential weight we have her listed as are mere guesses. She is spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped and has tested negative for heart worm and Lyme disease. This lovely, gentle girl is still quite timid but has come a long way since joining her foster family. It takes her a little while to warm up to people but once she does she’ll show them just how affectionate she can be.  CLEOPATRA is crate trained and will sleep quietly in it all through the night and she will also seek it out during the day as she knows it’s her safe place to be. She’s also housetrained and hasn’t had any accidents in the house as she’ll let you know when she needs to go outside for the bathroom. She’s in a foster home with 3 other dogs and they all get along great together. She loves to go on her walks but she is new to a leash so does tend to pull. This lovely girl has had a rough start in life but that’s all behind her now and we’re going to find her the perfect family that has everything she needs and more. She would best suit a quiet but active family who will take her on lots of walks and hikes so she gets the regular exercise she needs to remain a healthy girl. She travels well in a vehicle so will always be up for a drive especially if it leads to an exciting adventure for her. CLEOPATRA loves to be around her humans and will follow them around like a shadow but she doesn’t seek out affection just yet but we know she will eventually. She’ll also lay quietly beside you and is just happy knowing she’s at her humans feet. She’s just starting to play with toys and she loves to chase a ball around outside with the other dogs. She requires a fenced yard so she can play outside and be kept safe. She would like a sibling as she really enjoys romping around with the dogs in her foster home but we’re not saying she can’t be an only child either. She has a cat in her foster home and she’s never chased him but hasn’t interacted with him either so as long as a cat is dog savvy and there’s a slow, supervised introduced then we feel they can get along just fine. We recommend children aged 10 and up as she hasn’t been around any up until this point. She’s good at eating her food and treats around the other dogs and she’s learning her manners and a few commands like sit and stay for her meals.  We do require her adopter to be committed to getting her obedience/leash training in order to adopt her as it will help her be the best girl she can be.  If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle girl then CLEOPATRA is the one for and you meet her by submitting an adoption application for her.
