Story
Meet Bucky – A Spirited Companion Awaiting His Forever Home! Age: 3.5 Years Breed: German Shepherd & Siberian Husky Mix Location: Hamilton, Ontario Suitable for: A loving home without young children or other dogs Background: Bucky is a strikingly handsome, playful, and energetic mix of German Shepherd and Siberian Husky. After being a cherished member of his family for 2 years, Bucky is in search of a new forever home due to changes in his family's circumstances. Their arrival of a new baby has led them to make the difficult decision to find Bucky a home where he can receive the attention and care he deserves. Personality: Bucky is a bundle of joy with a zest for life that is contagious. His spirited nature is complemented by his intelligence and loyalty – traits that both his breeds are well-known for. Bucky adores spending time with his humans, whether it's going for a run, playing fetch, or simply lounging around. He has a heart full of love and is always eager to show his affection to those he cares about. Requirements for Adoption: Adult-only home or one with teenagers: Bucky's enthusiastic personality makes him better suited for a home without young children. Preferably no other dogs: To ensure Bucky can receive undivided attention and not have to compete for resources, a home without other dogs is ideal. However, with proper introduction and management, Bucky might learn to coexist peacefully with a canine sibling. Active lifestyle: Bucky thrives in an environment where he can channel his energy through regular exercise and mental stimulation. He is looking for someone who shares his love for adventure and is up for the challenge of keeping both his mind and body engaged. Commitment to training: While Bucky is playful and loving, he will benefit from an owner who is experienced in handling dogs and committed to continuing his training. With the right guidance, Bucky is sure to become an even more amazing companion. Bucky's Promise: In return for your care and leadership, Bucky promises a lifetime of loyalty, companionship, and unforgettable moments. This gorgeous boy is ready to fill your life with excitement, laughter, and love. If you feel you are the right match for Bucky and can offer him the loving, stable home he deserves, please contact us to learn more about the adoption process. Let’s help Bucky find his forever home where he can flourish and be the devoted companion we know he can be.

Story
"ZORBA" is a German shepherd mix, about 3 years old and weights approx. 30 kg. 3 years ago one of our team members pulled to the side of the road to answer an incoming call from Anastasia calling all the way from Canada. They barely exchanged two sentences when she heard puppy whimpers, came out of the car and bumped into this tiny furry ball that could barely walk. She lovingly picked up the puppy and after securing it in the crate searched long and far for any signs of siblings, but unfortunately found none. She took him to our vet and then to our sanctuary. He's been with us ever since. "ZORBA" is completely healthy, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered. He is also housebroken and leash trained. "ZORBA" is a bit shy when first meeting new people but warms up very quickly. Then he turns into this incredibly syrupy, tender, cuddly, lovable guy. SPFG volunteers call him "BACLAVA" because he has so much sugar and syrup!!! He is the kind of dog that will restore your energy and cheerfulness for the day. He is also social and playful with other animals. He would make an excellent companion for any family.

He is a picture of health, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, and neutered, also housebroken and leash trained. "MACK" would make a wonderful companion for an active family.

Story
Everyone meet Athena! The one-year-old German Shepherd overflowing with boundless energy and a heart full of love. Athena is a toy aficionado, particularly enamored with her collection of balls, which she can spend hours gleefully playing with. Athena is also a huge fan of outdoor adventures. Taking her for walks is one of her favorite pastimes, although her enthusiasm can sometimes translate into pulling on the leash. That said, Athena has a very trainable spirit; she already knows her basic commands and is eager to learn more. She`s a keen listener, ready to soak up any guidance and instruction offered to her. Athena thrives in an environment where she`s given daily challenges and opportunities to put her intelligence to the test. Her future family should be prepared to channel her energy into constructive outlets, providing both mental and physical stimulation to keep her happy and fulfilled. In Athena, you`ll find a loyal companion brimming with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. She’s all healthy despite facing a spinal cord injury, and she’s ready to be a cherished family member! If you`re interested in meeting Athena, please contact our North Shelter at (416) 338-PAWS (7297) between 10:30AM - 6:30PM!

Story
Winnie the German Shepherd x Doberman mix! At least those are two of her breeds listed on her DNA results! Cool stuff! But if you are looking for your own Winnie to your Piglet to go on adventures with, look no further! This lovely girl came to us as a stray but was never claimed. No matter, that didn`t stop her from becoming a well-known face around here. When Winnie first arrived, she was a little shy and hesitant around new people and would give a loud bark to let them know she was there! But with socialization and exposure to new faces, Winnie has come out of her shy shell and is ready to make some friends!Winnie is very treat motivated and already knows sit, down, give paw, touch and is even working on roll over! Oh, did I mention, she aced the wobble board training too! She is a very smart girl who will have an easy time with training. She can be a little excited on leash and pull a bit but is doing well with her training and will even stop at doors and wait for them to be opened. With how smart she is, she will stride next to you in no time. Just have those treats handy!Winnie`s ideal home would give her the ability to exercise frequently throughout the day whether that be in a closed backyard with some rounds of fetch, a nice long walk for her to sniff some things out or even some mental stimulation with some puzzle games!Winnie may do well in a house with other dogs but a meet and greet would be ideal. As for kids, Winnie would probably love them but because of her size and how excited she gets, older kids may be best around her!If you`re ready for your next adventure, please contact Toronto Animal Services West Shelter at 416-338-6271 during regular business hours. Meet and greets are being done by appointment only.

Story
Sophie is a sweet, affectionate shepherd that’s ready to find her perfect family! Her ideal home would have previous experience with working dogs and plenty of time for exercise and enrichment (it’s the smart ones that always find trouble when they get bored!). Sophie previously lived with other dogs but has preferred to keep to herself since arriving at the shelter. She currently isn’t suitable for off-leash parks but may do well in a controlled setting with a canine companion that respects her personal space. She may do well in a home with older, dog-savvy children but keep in mind she can be a little bit mouthy. Sophie has been very stressed since her arrival but is making great strides every day. We are still getting to know her, and her new family will need to be patient as she adjusts to life in her new home. (PS she’s become a fantastic cuddler). If you think Sophie might be the right fit for your family, then please contact Toronto Animal Services West Shelter to start the adoption process. Please note that meet and greets are done by appointment only.

Story
Hi there. My name is Symphony and here is a little info about me: Height: 43 cm Size: Large RESCUE STORY The time we saw Symphony we knew that she was another victim of abandonment. It is not unusual for a dog taken as a puppy to be abandoned when it grows up. She was running from one side to the other in heavy traffic. If she wouldn’t die from starving, she was going to die from a car accident for sure. So we took her to the vet to see if she had a family who was looking for their dog. But we could not find a microchip on her. So our journey with Symphony started. Character Symphony is very social and just looooves human attention. He greets everyone who comes to her section in the shelter with enthusiastic jumps and little happy circles. Outside she is curious, but pays attention to the human. Also is happy to stop for a play with a toy or some cuddles. She is always ready to show her belly with a single touch. Besides her cheerful character, she turns out to be really smart. Symphony would fit best with an active family. She can live with other friendly dogs. We don’t know how she is around cats but due to her curiosity and eagerness to play, you should be ready for training if you have a cat(s). She probably would love to live with children if her enthusiastic character is taken into consideration. Energy Level: Active Prey drive: None observed Fears: None observed Training: She knows how to walk with a leash but still needs training. Health notes: No health issues.

🐾 Hello! I’m Sugar! 🐾 I’m a 3-year-old male Malinois mix with a sleek black coat. Weighing in at 35 kg, I’m a big, cool, and smart pup looking for my forever home! 🐶 My Story: I was rescued from a kill shelter just in time, and now I’m ready to find a loving family. I stayed in a foster home for a year, where I was friendly and had a good relationship with my foster mom. 🏡 My Personality: • I’m quite shy around strangers, but give me 3 days to a week, and I’ll become friendly. 🤗 • I like to greet other dogs, but I don’t always play with them. 🐕 • I’m generally friendly towards dogs my size or smaller. 🐾 • I haven’t met any cats yet, so I’m not sure how I’d react. 🐱 • I enjoy outdoor activities but also love to rest quietly afterward. 🌳 have plenty of walking experience and follow people well without pulling on the leash. 🚶‍♂️ • I don’t guard my food against people or other dogs. 🥣 • I’m a quiet boy and hardly ever bark. 🐾 • I’m calm when put in a kennel. 🏠 • I generally only do my business outside. 🚽 Important to Know: • It takes time for me to build a relationship with strangers, usually 1 to 2 weeks. 🕒 • I’m not food-motivated and don’t take snacks from strangers. 🍪 • I might seem unmannered or too aggressive with other dogs because I think I’m a small dog and try to play with them. 🐶 • Other dogs might be intimidated by my behavior because of my size. 🐕 Fun Fact: I’m very cool and smart, showing all the characteristics of a Malinois.🦴 If you’re looking for a sweet, smart, and affectionate companion, I’m your guy! Let’s make some wonderful memories together. 🏡❤️ Love, Sugar 🐾🖤
