Story
This sweet little bean is another survivor of a puppy mill and he is ready to learn what it means to live a "dogs life"!Ricky was born with a slight malformation in one of his hind paws. It does not slow him down or affect his mobility in any way. In spite of his difficult beginning, he has blossomed into a happy,.and well socialized little pup. Although he is well-mannered in the home and is not at all destructive, his foster mum does recommend he is crated when left on his own for more than an hour or so, as he is still a puppy and does look for minor mischief when he is bored, like unravelling toilet paper etc. He is also happy to sleep in his crate at night, and is doing exceptionally well with housetraining. It is important that as soon as he is awake though, that he is taken outside to go to the bathroom, as again, he is still young and mastering holding his bladder!Ricky shows little to no signs of separation anxiety, and though he may bark once or twice when left alone, it is not excessive and can be managed by giving him something to do, like a Kong toy with a few treats inside to occupy him.Ricky would love to have another dog in his forever home, and he loves to play and make friends with other well socialized canines!Though he is not a flight risk per se, he is small enough to be easy prey and therefore we would like him to have a secure fenced yard for his protection. Please note only those applications received through our online portal at www.K9C.ca will be considered.

Story
Meet Jiminy! He may be small in stature, but this little warrior has been through hell, surviving life in a backyard breeding operation, where he suffered a badly broken jaw and received zero veterinary care until we took him in.Jiminy must have suffered terribly, as he was barely able to eat, and shied away from human touch for so long, likely due to the unimaginable pain he was experiencing. As a result, he was smaller than his sibling Ricky who we rescued at the same time, Since having his jaw wired back together, his healing journey has begun - both physically and emotionally. First, he began to show a real interest in food. With pain well managed, he started to eat and put on weight at last. It took a little bit longer for him to trust humans, but he is slowly starting to put his uncertainty behind him and seek out affection and touch.Jiminy is now well on his way to bright and happy future ahead...all he needs is a forever family who will love him unconditionally as he learns to leave his difficult beginning behind him. He is dog friendly, and well-mannered in the home. He is just now learning how to "play" and show an interest in toys. Housetraining remains a work in progress. He will use pee pads and also goes outside, but still has the occasional accident. Leash skills are difficult to gauge at this time due to his uncertainty with the big scary world outside, but given his young age, it is likely something that will improve with time and patience. He tolerates kitchen sink bubble baths, and has yet to accept treats. He does have a sensitive tummy so i is best he stick to his current diet as he transitions from foster to forever home.Due to his very small size, a home without very children (10+ only who with small dog experience). We are looking for a forever family with a small to medium sized well-balanced canine who can help Jiminy build confidence with behavioural cues.Jiminy also has a hard time with stairs yet, so ideally a home without a lot of steps would be best for him. Jiminy also struggles with stairs so a home without a lot of steps would best suit his needs.Please note: only applications received through our web page at www.K9C.ca can be processed. Successful applicants are chosen by best fit, not first come first served.Due to the high volume of applications we receive, only those we feel would be a potential match are contacted.
