Story
Meet Frankie! ❤️🐾 Frankie is a lovable, energetic sweetheart who adores people and plays great with other dogs! His playful spirit and big heart make him the perfect companion for an active home filled with love, fun, and adventure. ❤Name: Frankie ❤Age: Estimated 2-3 years old ❤Gender: Male ❤Weight: 30kg (65 Lbs) ❤Breed: Golden Retriever ❤Vaccinations/Neutered: Completed 👉Personality & Temperament Frankie is an affectionate and social dog who absolutely loves people. He enjoys playing with both adults and children, but due to his high energy level and tendency to playfully mouth hands and arms, he may not be suitable for very young children who could find him overwhelming. 👉Behavior with Other Animals 🦴Dogs: Frankie gets along great with other dogs and loves to play! He can be a bit rough when playing with larger dogs but is very gentle and adjusts his play style when interacting with small dogs. 🦴Cats: He has not been exposed to cats, but based on his personality, he is likely to approach them fearlessly and try to initiate play rather than avoiding them. 👉House Training Frankie is partially house-trained. He is used to relieving himself indoors but tends to only go in specific areas. If provided with pee pads in those spots, he will use them. He previously lived in a foster home where he preferred indoor potty breaks, likely due to limited early exposure to outdoor walks. However, his habits may have changed now that he is staying at a shelter. 👉Energy Level: 9-10 (High Energy) 👉Separation Anxiety & Barking 🦴No separation anxiety 🦴Vocal when he wants attention or playtime—he may bark at people or other dogs to express his excitement or needs. 👉Touch Sensitivity Frankie loves being petted and handled—he craves human touch and has no fear of hands. 👉Walking & Leash Behavior 🦴Strong leash pulling, especially when excited. 🦴Easily distracted and eager to approach people and dogs he encounters. 🦴Knows basic commands like "sit" and "wait" but struggles to respond in high-energy outdoor environments. 👉Escape Behavior No known escape tendencies; he does not attempt to run away from home or during walks.

Story
Rogan is a sweetheart. He loves to play with toys, with people, with other dogs, and on his own. He can keep himself amused for hours. He does not play favourites, and will divide his attention fairly between each of his many toys. Rogan is not a barker, but he is a communicator. On occasion, he will “talk” to you explaining his thoughts. He is very adept at training humans to give tummy rubs, ear rubs and back scritches. He is a golden/husky/poodle mix. We estimate he is 10-12 months old and guess he will be about mid-fifty pounds when fully grown. He has lots of energy to play, run and explore, and lots of stamina too. His personality is dominant – definitely alpha. He is crate trained. Unfortunately, Rogan did not have a good start in life. He had a restricted and stressful puppy hood. He came to us with a long-term ear infection in both ears, his ribs showing, and hyperactive. The ear infection has been treated, but he may require ongoing ear care to ensure the infection does not return. He is learning to leash walk, is eating normally now (but on a high calorie premium diet), is back to a normal weight, and has calmed down noticeably. His toilet training is progressing. We believe the stress during puppyhood triggered PICA. Since his PICA has improved somewhat, we hope that it is not a permanent condition. His owner did not take him to a vet, so we have started his first set of 3 puppy inoculations. He will require an experienced owner - someone who can gently, quietly, and firmly manage a very alpha dog. Rogan’s happy enthusiasm is infectious. But his speed and exuberance would be overwhelming for small dogs or young children, and probably cats. His new home will require a fully fenced yard. Our strong preference is a home with a female dog who is older than Rogan, and of a similar high energy, and high stamina breeding. He would greatly benefit from a dog companion to run and play with him, and guide him. If you can also guide him through the remnants of his initial bad experiences, you will be rewarded with a kind-hearted, dedicated, adventurous, and joyful companion. Please note we only accept adopters who live in the GTA - Greater Toronto Area.

Story
Indy is a 6-year-old, healthy, playful, ball-loving, high-energy golden retriever. He’s well-trained, knows all basic commands (plus some fun ones!), and is a smart and eager learner. Overall, Indy is a great dog, but has some behavioral quirks - he can be reactive on leash around animals, and is slow to develop trust with people. He often guards his food, toys, and personal space (especially when resting/sleeping) from people he does not trust, and may be startled and react if touched unexpectedly. With two very young kids in our home, we worry that Indy's reactivity could be problematic, so are rehoming. Indy would thrive in a calm, structured environment with an experienced, patient owner who can help him work through these challenges (all are quite manageable, but requires planning). Ideally, he would be the only pet in a home where he can feel secure and build trust. With the right training, boundaries, and positive reinforcement, Indy is an incredibly loving and loyal companion.

Story
Meet Cali – Your Future Adventure Buddy! 🐾 Cali’s journey began in the forests of Istanbul, Turkey 🌍, where she was found at just 45 days old. Her mother, a Golden Retriever, had been abandoned after becoming pregnant, and sadly, Cali was the only survivor of her litter 💔. Despite this heartbreaking start, she’s grown into a beautiful, smart, and loving 4-year-old Golden Retriever mix 🐕. Cali is an adventurous soul! She loves outdoor activities 🌲, whether it’s long walks, running, or playing with other big dogs 🐕‍🦺. She’s also great with kids 👶 and respectful of cats 🐱, making her a wonderful fit for families. Indoors, Cali is calm and enjoys lounging on the couch 🛋 or napping in her cozy spot, though she appreciates her personal space while resting. She’s completed basic obedience training 🎓, is fully house-trained. While she may pull on the leash when excited to meet other dogs, she quickly settles with clear guidance 🐾. Cali is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to find a loving family who will give her both the adventure and the care she deserves ❤. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and affectionate companion, Cali is ready to meet you! Cali can fly to Toronto when she finds her forever home!
