Story
Hello! My name is Beau!I`ve been patiently waiting for a new home since February 2024 - that`s right, 2024! I`ve been in the shelter for over one year now. I`ve had a short-term foster break from the shelter and learned a lot about myself through that experience - while I am an energetic and excitable dude, I am actually pretty chill in the home - after a nice sniffy walk and some play with toys indoors! Being a Jack Russell Terrier, I come with springs in my feet and like to jump up, but I’m so smart and sit easily when asked. I don’t enjoy other dogs and tend to bark when I see them, but am making great progress with training! I am looking for a home that has an interest in doing fun training with me, taking me for long walks, playing with me and then snuggling up at the end of the day.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: No young children. Teenagers may be ok.OTHER DOGS: No, I do not enjoy the company of other dogs.CATS: No, given my high prey drive.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Required.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any with yard.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: High.HOUSE-TRAINED: Almost! With a consistent routine and frequent outings, I will be on track in no time!If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the `adopt me` button to apply!FOSTER ME! I’m excited to be selected as part of the Paisley Project and I’m looking for a foster home! If your home environment matches what I’m looking for based on the information above, please consider applying to foster me by copying and pasting the following link to fill out the questionnaire: https://guelphhumane.ca/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=frm_forms_preview&form=7y88o.The Paisley Project aims to match selected, long-stay animals at GHS with fosters that can provide a home that gradually introduces them to the everyday experiences of life as a pet.

This clever girl knows a whole range of tricks—sit, touch, give both paws, lie down, stay, spin, and more! She’s food-motivated and eager to please, making training a breeze.

Story
JET is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Jet is a jack Russel terrier mix apx 6-8 months old and 12 pounds. He loves other animals but is very weary of humans. Jet is not aggressive and doesn't bites but he still runs from us and does not want to be picked up or held. He is a work in progress and we prefer he goes to a foster or adopter with rescue experience. Jet is happy to us and he plays with toys, loves dogs, dances around the yard but does not crave human contact. He is young, and he blossoms more and more every single day. He needs time, patience, routine and a lot of love. Jet was rescued from a high kill shelter. He was cowering in a corner, shaking, eyes wide, stiff and covered in his own feces and urine. He was absolutely terrified. We knew we had to give him a chance. Everyday he does a bit better. Jet will need a fenced yard. He will need to stay on leash and harness for a few weeks until he learns the new routine of his home. He is very smart and catches on quickly. Jet will be about 20- 25 pounds fully grown. Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given. To get approved please visit our website www.texaschihuahuarescuecanada.org to fill in an application to adopt.

Story
Here's what the humans have to say about me: Cami is a male Jack Russell Terrier mix, estimated to be around one year old, with a small build weighing 5 kg. Although he has a painful past of being rescued just before euthanasia at a shelter, Cami is a bright and affectionate dog with a loving personality. He adores people and is friendly with everyone without hesitation. He is gentle with smaller dogs and gets along well with larger ones, showing excellent social skills. Most importantly, Cami longs for love and needs an environment where someone is always by his side. Since he may become anxious when left alone for long periods, a household where at least one family member stays home would be ideal. With an energetic personality, Cami enjoys jumping and playing with toys, requiring opportunities to release his energy. A home with a yard or frequent visits to a dog park would be perfect for him. As he lacks experience living in a home, he may chew on household items, but with enough toys and proper playtime, he can develop positive habits. His overall health is good, though he has a dental misalignment. However, this does not affect his ability to chew and instead adds to his unique charm. Cami is waiting for a loving family to welcome him. Please help him start a new life in a warm and caring home!

Story
Meet Rina, the sweet and gentle Terrier mix with a heart full of love! At 10 months old and weighing 5.5kg, this dainty girl is ready to find a forever home where she can truly blossom. Rina was rescued from a high kill shelter, but you’d never guess her tough start by her kind and affectionate personality. Rina is a natural sweetheart who loves people, both familiar faces and strangers alike. She’s happy to receive gentle pets and will even roll over to show her belly once she’s comfortable. Though she’s friendly, Rina has a quiet, sensitive side—large crowds or noisy environments can make her feel a little nervous. She’s polite around children, showing little interest, and can be comfortably handled, even being picked up or touched all over. With other dogs, Rina’s sweet nature shines through. She greets both familiar and new dogs with friendly curiosity, especially those around her own size. If another dog tries to pick a fight, Rina would rather walk away than engage. She’s not overly dependent on canine companions but enjoys playing when the opportunity arises. When left alone, she can keep herself entertained but does appreciate having a friend nearby. Rina shows no interest in chasing cats during walks, making her a great candidate for homes with feline family members. Her energy level is on the lower side, preferring cozy naps and peaceful downtime over high-energy play. Walks are enjoyable but short and sweet—Rina is happiest when heading back home for snuggles. This little lady is as gentle as they come, showing no signs of resource guarding or aggression. She’s nearly silent, rarely barking, and is fully comfortable sharing her food with both people and dogs. Rina is house-trained for both indoor pads and outdoor potty and rides quietly in a kennel, although she may experience a little car sickness on longer trips. If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who’s happiest by your side, Rina could be the perfect match. With her tender heart and peaceful spirit, she’s ready to fill her forever home with warmth, snuggles, and unwavering loyalty.

Story
Mila is a 2 year old terrier/hound mix (likely JRT & Beagle) weighing approx 27 lbs. She loves her humans very much and is very playful and affectionate with them. Mila did not start her life off in a bad way but she did miss out on training, boundaries and socialization. For this reason, Mila has spent time with a professional trainer who has fallen in love with her. Unfortunately, there are limits to the number of dogs a person can have! She loves the outdoors and play time! She’s a very active girl and would do great with a dominant larger dog, she can be too rambunctious for a small dog. Mila is an excellent girl at home when you have to go out, just make sure you have the perfect window for her to neighborhood watch from! She is obviously a high energy girl but likes nothing more than to be tucked in beside her person on the couch!! She gives great hugs and kisses!! Mila will require an experienced owner and home without children under the age of 7. She loves kids but is still learning boundaries. Her adopter will be able to take advantage of some professional advise from her trainer in order to keep Mila improving. Training consistency will be key to keeping Mila on track with her progression. Mila is currently being fostered in Newmarket, ON. If you are interested in adopting Mila, please complete an application on our website: https://www.jrnc.org/adoption-application
