TANDOORI hails from the Northern community of North Spirit Lake and came south with his sister, Tikka, to find his forever home. He’s received his first vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and has been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. The “Two Spicy” Litter were found all alone with no mum so his breeds and the size he’ll grow to be is just an educated guess based on what he looks like. He’s an active little guy who loves to run around and play with his sister and chew on his teething toys. He’s very outgoing and adventurous but also very snuggly and loves to sit in your lap. 

TANDOORI’s crate trained and sleeps quietly in it at night and will nap in it during the day too. House training is still a work in progress and he will go on a pee pad in the home if he isn’t taken outside quickly enough. He’s just started to go on long walks and is a quick learner with leash walking and he’s now learning that he can go to the bathroom while outside too. Walking sometimes can be a bit slow as he loves to pick up sticks and chew on them along the way. He does eat his food very quickly so is currently using a slow feeder and it is recommended that he continue to use one until he slows down with his eating. He does have good manners and will sit for his meals and also take his treats “gentle.”

TANDOORI’s ideal family would be an active one that loves to go on hikes and walks in the woods. He does well in a vehicle so will always be up for a drive, especially if it leads to an adventure for him. He’ll do well in a home with other dogs as he’s fostered with several of them and he loves to socialize with them. Seeing as he’s never met a cat and if one is in his adoptive home we strongly recommend a slow and monitored introduction while he’s leashed for the first few times they meet up or interact. He should do well as an only pet in the home provided he’s not left alone for long periods of time. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be loving and gentle towards animals. He does require a fenced-in yard so he can be kept safe while he has a run around and play.

Puppies are cute, playful and fun but also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We do need his adopter to be in agreement to take him for puppy/obedience training to help him to become the best boy possible. His neuter is included in his adoption fee and his adopter must be in agreement to have him neutered by the time he’s 9 months of age or 60lbs (whichever comes first.) The surgery will be at the Barrie SPCA but you can use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there. In order for the rescue to do so we need the neuter requirements to still be followed plus a copy of the procedure invoice and a picture of him (preferably in a cone) in order to do the reimbursement. We do post the picture on our fb page along with other pets that were “fixed” in the same week. 
If TANDOORI sounds like he’ll suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him.
