MITRE is part of the Tool litter who came south with his 4 litter mates from the Northern Ontario community of Sandy Lake. He’s had 2 sets of puppy vaccines, microchip and been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. We have no information on either his mother or father so his breeds and the size he’ll grow to be is just an educated guess. This handsome boy is one of the smallest boy in the litter but has a big personality. The word gentle was invented for this lovely boy as he’s the most gentlest little puppy ever born. He loves his snuggles with his foster mum and will literally put his arms on her shoulders to be cuddled. He also loves to snuggle up in her lap and has been known to sit there and watch the TV. 

MITRE is crate trained and sleeps soundly in it all night. He will also go in there of his own accord during the day to take a nap. He loves to go on his walks and gets excited when he knows he’s going on one but like all puppies though, he’ll pull on his leash and run ahead of you. His housetraining is going really well and he’s taken outside first thing in the morning and after his meals and most of the time he’ll do his business then. There’s newspaper on the floor for him to use and he will if he’s not taken outside quick enough. This energetic little guy loves to play and chase his toys around and he really likes to chew on the rubbery toys and Nyla bones.
MITRE has several dogs in his foster home and he plays really well with them all. He would suit an home with another dog but he would also do well as an only pet. He did have several kittens in his foster home and he loved chasing them around but he was always very gentle with them. We do feel he’d do well with a dog savvy cat in the home but we do recommend a slow, monitored introduction. We do require children to be age 6 and up plus be gentle and caring towards animals. He does require a fenced yard to keep him safe when he’s outside playing. 
MITRE is looking for an energetic family who can give him big walks and long hikes to help him burn off his puppy energy. He travels well in a vehicle so will always be up for an adventure or two. He really would suit most types of home but a quieter one would suit him best as he’s just a quiet boy himself. He’s very soft natured and now loves to play with the younger puppies in his foster home.
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 the adoption fee and must be performed by 9 months of age or before he’s 60lbs (whichever comes first) and we need his adopter to also be in agreement with this as per our Rescue requirement. You can take him to your own vet and we will reimburse what we would’ve paid for the procedure at the SPCA but you are required to still have him neutered in the timeframe we require in order to get the reimbursement. 

If MITRE sounds like a guy that will fit into your family then please complete the adoption application to meet him.
