Story
Ranger is the tallest of the males in his litter of 10. He is vocal and loves to tell you about his day and then tell you again! He loves to be pet and looks at a gate as a challenge, not a barrier. He is a typical busy puppy, who loves to play, run, and wrestle. He will be a large dog, as both mom and dad are over 75 pounds. He is looking for a forever home that has some experience with the food motivated lab and stubborn mastiff. It is recommended that he attend a puppy socialization class to become comfortable with friends who are not his siblings. He will be visiting the vet this week for his vaccines, flea and tick treatment, microchip, and wellness screening. He will come with a voucher for his neuter at 6 months of age at our vet in Woodstock. His adoption fee is $500. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt him can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. Click on Adopt, then Dogs for Adoption and scroll to the bottom of the page. All applications are reviewed, and if we feel you might be a good fit for him, you will be contacted to arrange a home visit as well as for permission to speak with your vet. Repeated phone calls and emails with not advance your application. We are a volunteer, foster based rescue and there is no opportunity to meet him before an application has been approved. We thankyou for respecting these guidelines.

Story
Rocky is one of the smaller male pups from a litter of 10. He is a challenging pup who pushes every limit he can! He will need a firm, patient owner who sets boundaries and stand by them. Like his brothers, he is a typical little boy who loves to run and chase and wrestle until it's time to eat. He will be a large dog, as both mom and dad are over 75 pounds. He is looking for a forever home that has some experience with the food motivated lab and stubborn mastiff. It is recommended that he attend a puppy socialization class to become comfortable with friends who are not his siblings.

Story
Meet Shelby, a cute, sweet, cuddly, energetic girl looking for her furever home. We believe she is about 1-1.5 years old. She was found all alone at a hiking lookout, probably waiting for her people to come back for her. She had no collar or chip, and no-one came to look for her. She was extremely shy, nervous, and hungry and a bit worse for wear when she was found, but she is finding her groove now! She is very eager to please, and a quick study as she is very food motivated. She is currently working on crate training, loose leash walking, sit, down and leave it. She is house trained as long as she is let outside regularly, but she does not ask to go out. She seems to warm up to females quicker than men, but is becoming more confident with time. She doesn't like to be left alone, and is still a bit nervous of new people and places . She is currently being fostered with an older female lab/shepherd/ mastiff mix and is learning the ropes from her. She has learned to swim, fetch, chase sticks, play tug of war, wrestle and is learning to play with toys instead of shoes. She does like to chew! She likes to go for car rides and is developing a fascination for chasing squirrels. We are working on redirecting this new hobby. She has met a few other dogs and cats, but has not spent a lot of time with cats so she may be a bit too interested in them as they resemble squirrels. She has done well with the few older kids she has met . She is looking for a family who can give her lots of love and continue to work with her to help her continue to become more secure and confident. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, flea and tick treated and has been spayed. Her adoption fee is $500. You must be 21 years old to adopt and provide vet and personal references. An application to adopt her can be found on our website www.oxfordcountyanimalrescue.com. Click on Adopt, then Dogs for Adoption and scroll to the bottom of the page.

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Please help us find a home for this very energetic, large dog. She is beautiful in every way BUT she is "too much dog" for most people. Calleena has been in care of SimcoeDHumane since December 8 2023. While in her foster homes, she has learned all about family life with cats, dogs, kids, some larger animals as well! The large dogs she lives with, often put her in her place and she loves working for affection.Crate and house trained, doing well on leash and walks, love car rides, learning basic commands, high puppy energy, playful, love a good snuggle, and recall - well, not so much! If she had a fenced in area where she could run play and another large well mannered dog to play with would be just grand.History:Surrendered by owner as they could no longer look after, Calleen and her siblings (5 females and 2 males) are looking for Foster or Foster2Adopt Homes, especially over the Holidays. These precious 5 week old babies are too young to be away from Mom BUT 1.5-year-old Mom is depleted and is very ready to have a life without having babies. She is resting lots, gaining strength daily, finding her own space.

Story
Diamond has been with us 2 years, and in those years only 1 application that was not a match has come in. This girl is a firecracker and super high energy, but she's got the sweetest side. She makes us laugh daily and we wouldn't change a thing about her! Diamond's adoption has been donated by an amazing sponsor. All we want is to find her a loving family and home. https://form.jotform.com/213266369147057 Or you can reach out to myself Jen@fightagainstbreedracism.com or Kari, Kari@fightagainstbreedracism.com for any questions you may have. Name: Diamond Breed: American Bulldog X Weight: 47.50 lbs Gender: Spayed/Female Age: 4 years old Energy Level: Medium to High Medical: UTD Good with dogs: Selective. Social outside but don't think indoors she'd do good in a home with another dog. Unless someone was experiencing and took the time it takes to work with her. She does love to play with her rescue friends. Good with cats: No has a high prey drive for all small animals Good with kids: No young children due to her energy. Good with strangers: yes gets overly excited Guarding issues: None that have been seen Behavioural issues: can have separation anxiety in new environments. And will be destructive if left alone too long. House trained: Yes Crate trained: Yes Leash skills: still a working progress, but has come a long way since she first came to us. Pulls a lot and will try to go after small animals if she sees them. Will need someone that can control/handle her. Walks way better with a martingale. Okay with manipulations: Yes, always willing to please. Notes: Diamond is a very sweet, affectionate girl who is eager to please. She has shown to be food motivated which is a bonus for training. Diamond gets very overstimulated and excited fast. She will jump up and grab at you or the leash but she listens if you are firm with her. Diamond is your perfect companion if your looking for a dog who can keep up with an active lifestyle!
