Boxer puppies and dogs in Kitchener, Ontario

Introducing Siris! Siris’s name inspiration (pronounced: sigh-ris) -the Egyptian god of the underworld Quite fitting for his "rebirth" into rescue for a second chance! Sirus is a super sweet male that is very much a lean, smaller than his photos look at only 26kg, brindle Boxer body style with possibly American Bulldog sprinkled in, who came to us from an overcrowded shelter. PLEASE READ HIS FULL PROFILE before inquiring to ensure he is the right fit for your family and that you're his pawfect match. Siris is the goodest good boy! We all adore him so much. Goofy and snuggly and so eager to learn and please. Siris loves to work with his foster family and has learned so very quickly, he will thrive in an active family with ongoing training, loves hiking and is a young active boy who also loves to snuggle with his people. Notes from his foster family Your foster dog's energy level: Medium to High Siris needs a few good walk/hikes/sniffing adventures a day He does have a good amount of energy where we've found playing with him in the backyard is really helpful. He loves to run and play tug and it really helps with his energy levels. Multiple walks a day could also help with this. We train Siris each night with various commands as well as throughout the day we work on his recall. While on walks we also spend some time teaching heel, leave it and leash training. Is your foster dog food motivated? Siris is extremely food motivated. If you have treats, he'll do anything you want so we always bring treats on walks. Siris is great meeting new dogs, he's very friendly and listens to other dogs social cues well. Siris came to us very emaciated and as a result, does resource guard food and toys (with other animals only! He has no guarding issues with humans) so he will require a home without other pets living with him to set him up for success. He'd love social backyard visits with friend or family dogs since he does well away from any resources he feels he needs to guard. Siris is wonderful with people, he loves everyone and loves getting attention from humans. He is such a sweet and loving dog. Good with cats? Siris would do best in a home without cats. He's not aggressive towards our cats, he's just overly excited to meet them and doesn't know how to control his excitement around them and of course cats don't understand resource guarding respect around food etc. We are seeing improvement with time, training and routine feedings. We are managing it currently by keeping Siris separated from our pets when any food is being prepared, during feedings and when giving treats. When Siris is spending time with our other dogs, we don't allow any toys in the area although with concentrated training and careful supervision this is also improving as you'll notice in photos in his profile. Housetrained? Yes Crate trained? Yes He loves his crate and it's his safe space, he will often nap there during the day and is happy to sleep there overnight. He also knows the command "crate" well. Does your foster dog show signs of separation anxiety? No Please elaborate on your foster dog's leash skills. Siris does an excellent heel when asked and when treats are available. He responds well to being called back to you. Although he needs more training with pulling, as he does like to pull sometimes when not in a heel position. How does your foster dog react when you touch the ears, tail, paws etc. Please elaborate. He has no problem with being touched or examined anywhere. He doesn't mind his paws touched at all. How would you describe the dog's personality/temperament He is the biggest sweetheart you'll ever meet. He is so sweet and loving and just wants to please, cuddle and spend time with you. He loves to play and can be a goofy boy. Things needing improvement specifics please He needs improvement learning to not pull on walks, managing his excitement as he sometimes mouths (we are working on redirecting him to toys) as well as jumping, and his resource guarding needs work. No medical concerns,he is an extremely healthy dog now that he is being fed high quality food and supplements. Food amount/type: He's eating Bold By Nature raw and eating 6 patties per day. Raw is not mandatory for his adoptive family but we will require his adoptive family to feed a high quality, meat based grain free diet to maintain optimal health for Siris if they choose not to feed raw. Skills/Commands Sit? Yes Stay? Yes Wait? Yes Lay Down? Yes Leave It? Working on it Off? Working on it Down? Yes Come? Yes Any other skills/commands? He also knows "crate" and "paw" and we use "break" as his release word. We are in the middle of teaching "leave it" but he needs work on this. Please describe current routines and preferences that will help the dog settle into their new home: He would likely adjust quickly to any home. What would really help is making sure he gets a good amount of exercise and has plenty of toys and chews such as bully sticks, tendons, knuckle bones etc and appropriate toys as he really likes to chew. As well as he really enjoys spending quality time with his humans. Strengths/areas they have improved on: He's really improved on managing his excitement quite a bit. He is VERY easy to train and has improved on learning "leave it". He has also improved a lot on being able to disconnect from the cats. He's also improved on listening to other dogs cues. He has also improved on his resource guarding. Transportation-any motion sickness or anxiety in vehicles? None. Please describe the perfect adoptive home for your foster dog based on what you have experienced. The perfect adoptive home would be a single pet household with humans that can provide lots of quality time and exercise with this sweet boy and understand the importance of continued training and socialization to reinforce positive behaviours. The perfect home would also really enjoy cuddling with Siris, he's a big cuddler. Anything to add? Siris is truly a golden goose egg of a dog. Any home who takes him in would be adopting a smart, loving, goofy, and snuggly lifelong companion. He's the biggest sweetheart and really deserves a loving home as he has so much love to give. Important Notes: Siris requires a pet free home Siris is a bouncy young goofy boy who is not a suitable fit for younger children or older seniors.

Lua / Female / 1 year old / 35 lbs / Boxer Mix / No dogs please / Good with cats / Good with older children / From Mexico / Fostered in Oakville Meet Lua! Lua came to us from Mexico, where she lived in a vacant lot with no roof or shelter. She gave birth to a litter of four puppies while tied up to the fence of the lot. Our wonderful partners in Mexico cut the chain she was tied to and took the mama and her puppies to safety. Lua is one of these puppies, rescued from a life of neglect and ready to find a loving home. Lua is a sweet girl with the most expressive eyes. Her fosters describe her as affectionate, curious and playful. Lua adores her people and is always ready to snuggle. She even believes she is tiny and will make herself fit on your lap, no matter how awkwardly she has to lay. Lua would love nothing more than to be in a home where she can be showered with love and attention. Lua is best friends with her trusted humans. She will stay close by and can be protective in nature. With new people Lua prefers to assess, sniff and take time. Once she feels comfortable she will shower them with the same love and affections. Lua is a bit more nervous around men, and is working with her fosters to learn that they can be safe too. Lua has met older children and done well. She could live in a home with respectful, dog-savvy children. With patience, decompression time and support Lua will show her loving nature to her humans. Lua is looking for a home in a quieter neighbourhood. City sounds and passing cars are new to her and make her feel nervous. A home with a yard where she can play would be ideal, but as long as she has access to greenspace she will do well. Lua is the type of dog that will thrive wherever her humans are, as she loves to be part of the pack. Lua is currently looking for a home where she is the only dog. She has had positive interactions with other dogs in the past, but can be defensive when sharing her space. Lua will set boundaries for herself and does not seem bothered by other dogs she passes on walks. With proper introductions Lua would enjoy socializing outside of her home. Lua currently lives with a cat and does well. She has shown both curiosity towards the cat and respect for the cats boundaries. As a young girl, Lua will require lots of outlets for her energy. She currently gets two walks each day. Lua is doing well on leash so far. She loves to sniff and explore as she goes. Lua will stop when a car goes by, and tends to avoid other people, but she is gaining more confidence each day. Lua is very good at looking to her trusted humans for reassurance while on walks. Indoors, Lua enjoys enrichment activities and is learning the joy of playing with toys. Lua is making great progress with her basic training. She enjoys learning and making her humans proud, so working with her is great! Lua is crate trained, spending time in one when she is home alone, and overnight. She is housetrained, but her new family should be prepared for a transition period and possible accidents. Life indoors is new for Lua, but she is learning her house manners fairly quickly. Lua prefers to be where her people are, but will settle in adjacent rooms to nap, or chew a toy. Lua is a sweet girl with the biggest heart, waiting to find her forever family that is ready to give her the time and attention to learn how to be the best companion. If you're interested in adopting Lua, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form Lua's adoption fee is $850.
