ROUGE
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 was just vaccinated including rabies with her annual ones for this year. She is a beautiful girl with lots of energy and she’s looking for an experienced Shepherd owner.
ROUGE has both beauty and brains and is a very smart, loving girl who loves 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 young dog energy so she’s definitely looking for an active family who can give her the exercise she desires, take her on trail hikes and lots of adventures. She travels well in a vehicle and gets excited when she knows she’s going in it as it usually leads to a nice long walk in the woods for her. She loves to play fetch and when you throw the ball for her, she’ll chase after it and retrieve it back to you and drop it out your feet. A fenced-in yard is required for her as she loves to run around in one and chase out the birds, squirrels, chipmunks and well, let’s just say any creature that dares to land in her yard. She hasn’t met a cat but we’re advising no cats in the home as she’s never met one and also due to her high prey drive. She has a dog savvy 6yr old child in her foster home and they get along great and the young boy will play fetch with her and walk her around on her leash. She takes it all in her stride and just follows behind him like his little shadow. She’ll do great with children aged 6 plus in her new home as long as they’re calm, loving and considerate to animals.
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 outside for a bathroom break. She’s a very social girl and loves to chase and run around with the other 2 dogs in her foster home, there’s a female dog around her size and a small male Chihuahua. They’re both calm and that’s the type of dog that would suit her best in her new home. Saying that though she would do equally as well as an only dog too. She’s regularly taken to the off-leash dog park and does extremely well there with all the other dogs. A video has been added to show just how well she does there too.
ROUGE recently completed a 3-week board and train programme at Sunnidale Kennels in Angus and she did amazing well there. Her biggest improvement was her leash walking skills. She’s always been good on her leash mind but would just get a bit reactive when she saw another dog, especially if it was an energetic dog like her. She’ll now walk calmly by those other dogs and is rewarded with a couple of treats each time for being a good girl. Sunnidale is offering some free sessions with a trainer for Rouge and her new owner and tbis will help them to bond. This is also so they can fully understand the commands she knows and the best way for them to communicate with her. She was also trained on an e-collar and she responds very well to it and on a low setting. We have a full assessment report on her behaviour and training at the kennel to share with her adoptive family. She had really good manners and waits quietly for her meals and loves it when there’s berries, carrots or other tasty vegetables or fruits topping it.
ROUGE is a very special girl who has been in care since she was just a pup of 5 months old. What she endured in those first few months of her life we’ll never know but we do know it wasn’t good. She has now been with us in foster care for over a year and we’re really not sure why no one has come forward to adopt her. She does need an experienced dog owner and one with Shepherd experience and a good overall knowledge of dogs.
ROUGE sadly does have a couple of nipping incidents that happened at her foster home when she first arrived there but her foster says she completely blames herself for the incidents and feels they could’ve been avoided. Nothing at all has happened since then and she’s now proven herself to be a good girl who loves her humans.
If you’re interested in meeting the lovely ROUGE then please put in an adoption application to do so. |

EMBROIDER
EMBROIDER was a local surrender and came into rescue with her 3 sisters (Sew, Quilt and Knit) and she’s now looking for her forever home. She’s spayed, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped and been deemed a healthy girl and ready to find her loving home. She’s a little on the timid side but will soon warm up to new people and she’ll be on your lap before you know it. She’ll sit contentedly on your lap and snuggle with you and it’s not too long before she starts turning into a purring machine.
EMBROIDER is litter box trained and has used it since coming into rescue. She loves to be cozy and will sit in her high sided cat bed to snuggle up for a nap. She enjoys sitting in the cat tree and watching all the critters outside the window. She’s very clean and is often caught giving herself a wash down as she sits on top of the catio. She loves to relax in a hammock and would love her new home to have one that sticks to the window. She’s well socialized as she’s fostered with other kittens, puppies and bigger dogs so would suit a home with other animals. Any dogs in the home should be cat savvy and a slow, monitored introduction should be done while the dog is leashed. Children should be aged 6 and up plus be loving, caring and gentle towards animals.
If EMBROIDER sounds like a kitty who’ll fit into your home then please submit an adoption application to meet her.

MARZIPAN
MARZIPAN hails from the Northern community of North Spirit Lake and she headed south with her brother, Humbug, to find her forever home. She’s had her first and second sets of puppy vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. We have no knowledge of her parents so the breeds we have her listed as are just a guess based on what she looks like as is the size she’ll grow to be. She’s an energetic, outgoing little girl who loves to run around and play with her many dog toys and also chase her brother. She very loving, snuggly and loves to give kisses and receive belly rubs. She already has good manners and will sit patiently for her food.
MARZIPAN is crate trained and will sleep soundly in it at night and also take naps in it during the day. She’s working on her housetraining and most times she’s taken outside, she’ll do her business then. It is still a work in progress though and frequent trips outside are required for her still. She’s only just started to be walked on a leash and like all puppies will race ahead of you but with the harness that she wears, there is a bit more control with her.
MARZIPAN is well socialized with dogs as she has a few in her foster home and she gets along very well with them. Therefore she would suit being in a home with another dog as long as a slow, monitored introduction is done. She would do equally as well as an only child as long as she’s not left alone for long periods of time. She has 3 kittens in her foster home so she would suit being with a cat and it would help with introductions if the cat is dog savvy. If not then for safety a slow, monitored introduction should be done while she’s kept leashed.
MARZIPAN’s ideal family is an active one who loves the outdoors and will take her on long walks and hikes. She travels well in a vehicle so will always be up for an adventure or two as well. She does require a fenced yard to keep her safe while she has a run around and play. Children should be aged 6 plus and be loving, gentle and kind to animals.
Puppies are fun and cute but also require a lot of work, patience and dedication to training. The rescue needs her adopter to be in agreement to sign her up for puppy/obedience training in order to adopt her.
Her spay is included in the adoption fee and will be performed no later than 6 months of age and the rescue also needs her adopter to be in agreement with this policy in order to adopt her. There is the option to get the spay done at the adopters own vet clinic and the rescue will reimburse the fee that would’ve been paid at the SPCA but the timeframe rules must be adhered to in order for the rescue to do so. The rescue also requires a copy of the surgery invoice and a photo of the puppy (preferably in a cone or onsie) to receive the reimbursement.
If MARZIPAN sounds like the puppy to join you and your family then please submit an adoption application to meet her.

HUMBUG
HUMBUG hails from the Northern community of North Spirit Lake and he headed south with his sister, Marzipan, to find his forever home. He’s had his first and second sets of puppy vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. We have no knowledge of his parents so the breeds we have him listed as are just a guess based on what he looks like and the weight he’ll grow to be is also a guess. He’s an energetic, outgoing little guy who loves to run around and play with his many dog toys and also chase his sister. He’s very loving, snuggly and loves to give kisses and receive belly rubs. He already has good manners and will sit patiently for his food and take treats gentle.
HUMBUG is crate trained and will sleep soundly in it at night and also take naps in it during the day. He’s working on his housetraining and most times he’s taken outside, he’ll do his business then. It is still a work in progress though and frequent trips outside are required for him still. He’s only just started to be walked on a leash and like all puppies will race ahead of you but with the harness that he wears, there is a bit more control with him. He does enjoy going on his walks and loves to run around and jump in all the snow we have right now too.
HUMBUG is well socialized with dogs as he has a few in his foster home and he gets along very well with them. Therefore he would suit being in a home with another dog as long as a slow, monitored introduction is done. He would do equally as well as an only child as long as he’s not left alone for long periods of time. He loves the kittens in the home especially one called Wool and they’re often caught cuddling together in the dog bed so he would definitely suit being in a home with a cat. One of the pictures in his profile does show him and Wool together on a cat stand so he would definitely suit being in a home with a cat and it would help with introductions if the cat is dog savvy.
HUMBUG’s ideal family is an active one who loves the outdoors and will take him on long walks and hikes. He travels well in a vehicle so will always be up for an adventure or two as well. He does require a fenced yard to keep him safe while he has a run around and play. Children should be aged 6 plus and be loving, gentle and kind to animals.
Puppies are fun and cute but also require a lot of work, patience and dedication to training. The rescue needs his adopter to be in agreement to sign him up for puppy/obedience training in order to adopt him.
HUMBUG’s neuter is included in the adoption fee and will be performed no later than 9 months of age or 60lbs (whichever comes first.) The rescue also needs his adopter to be in agreement with this policy in order to adopt him. There is the option to get the neuter done at the adopters own vet clinic and the rescue will reimburse the fee that would’ve been paid at the SPCA but the timeframe rules must be adhered to in order for the rescue to do so. The rescue also requires a copy of the surgery invoice and a photo of the puppy (preferably in a cone or onsie) to receive the reimbursement.
If HUMBUG sounds like the puppy to join you and your family then please submit an adoption application to meet him.

TOAST
TOAST arrived in rescue just in time for New Year’s celebrations from the Fort Hope Northern community. He previously had an owner which shows in his lovely calm personality. He’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and been given a clean bill of health by his vet. We have no knowledge of his parents so his breeds are just a guess based on what we figure he looks like. He’s full grown so we know that’s the size he’ll be give or take a pound or two. He’s a relatively calm dog and is very sweet with people.
TOAST is house trained and crate trained. He sleeps well in his crate at night and will also take naps in there during the day. He walks well on his leash but would benefit from some training in that direction. He enjoys playing with his dog toys and also having a bone to gnaw on. He’s fostered in a home with 2 female dogs and they get along really well so would suit a home with another one. He has done well with all the dogs he’s met on his walks except that is, an unneutered male that he met. He became very vocal with him and wanted to be dominate but there were no issues seeing as both dogs were leashed. He’s not a fan of puppies and doesn’t appreciate their puppy antics around him.
TOAST would love to have an active family that likes to go on adventures, long walks and hikes in the woods. He can be stubborn as he knows what he wants and he is also a counter surfer. His foster is working on this with him and she said he’s getting better and she also makes sure she doesn’t leave any food laying around for him to get his paws on. He’s in a foster home with a very dog savvy 5yr old and he’s very gentle around her so would suit a home with children but they should be aged 6 and up. He does require a fenced yard so he can play outside and run around safely.
We strongly recommend that his new owner meet with a trainer to do some fine tuning with him and work on his leash skills. It will help to form a bond with him and his new owner plus turn him into an all round great dog.
If TOAST sounds like a dog that will fit into your family then please submit an adoption application to meet him.
