Taylormade is an affection seeking gal looking for the perfect home to start her new life in. She is a sweetheart with the potential to grow into a very loyal canine and she thrives with positive reinforcement and praise. TaylorMade is looking for a quieter household as she does get overstimulated/anxious when there is a lot going on around her.

She was not always so outgoing towards humans, but once she realized that us humans provide her with affection and food, she began to bond with us humans. She is still shy towards strangers but her trust will grow with her new family as they continue with the positive reinforcement training techniques she has been taught so far.  

TaylorMade has quite a bit of energy and is looking for a household with another confident adult dog to help with building her confidence and of course provide her with lots of play time. She loves chewing on her nyla-bones, balls, rubber toys, and really enjoys burying her toys in her blankets. TaylorMade will benefit from socialization classes and basic training as she continues to blossom into the sweet and confident dog she was destined to become!

 Bridgestone is looking for a home willing to work on her socialization with meeting new humans as they can sometimes frighten her if she is not expecting visitors. She needs help in building her confidence and would benefit from socialization and training classes.  Bridgestone is looking for a low to medium energy household as she does get nervous/anxious when there is a lot going on around her.  

She has quite a bit of energy and is looking for a household with another confident adult dog to help keep her busy and show her the ropes of adulthood. Bridgestone loves chewing on any kind of toys she is provided, and especially loves hiding them to find again later! With her shy and gentle demeanor, Bridgestone is sure to steal any humans heart, and as long as those humans are willing to put in extra effort to keep her socialized, she will thrive in her new home with a routine and structure.

Birthday: November 11, 2016

Location: Bandaged Paws Facility

Are you looking for a distinguished older gentleman to accompany you throughout your days? Ollie would love nothing more than to be 

the one!

 At 8 years young Ollie still has lots of pep in his step, he is physically strong and wants to stay active throughout his retirement. He loves nothing more than going out into nature on a long line to sniff and explore with his favorite people. He does best on quiet routes without lots of other people and dogs but has been working hard to learn how to remain calm when others do cross his path. 

Ollie is a creature of habit and thrives on a structured routine that offers him a predictable schedule. His ideal days include a lovely sniffy walk, short play sessions with his favorite toys, a happy stompy dance while having his rear end scratched, plenty of time for napping on a comfortable dog bed,

and of course ample time to hang out with people. Ollie is choosey about his dog friends so homes with other dogs would have to be willing to do a few meet ups to see if he could

cohabitate with them. 

Despite his age, Ollie hasn’t given up on his dream of chasing all the cats so homes with cats or other small animals will not be considered for him. Our trainer has worked with Ollie extensively to help him learn the skills needed to go on those walks he enjoys so much. We are offering 3 private lessons with her for Ollie’s adopters so that you can learn how to work with him for mutually enjoyable adventures! 

It breaks our hearts to see this sweet boy languishing from shelter life; however, we understand that he 

has some complex needs to navigate. For this reason, Ollie will be available through our Foster to Adopt program so that we can ensure his new home is the right fit all around. If you think you have a lifestyle that can accommodate Ollie and allow him to live out his senior years in the comfort of a loving home please consider

adopting this sweet ol’ hound!

Neutered Male

Heeler Cross

Birthday: September 13, 2018

Location: Foster Care

Are you looking for a sweet old man to hang around your home? Choco here would love to find a home where he can be comfortable and stay active through his golden years! He is healthy despite his age and doesn’t seem to be suffering from arthritis or dental disease. That said we’d like his new family to keep an eye out for changes in his health as time goes on. Most vets like to see seniors like Choco a bit more regularly to stay on top of their dental health and their overall quality of life. 

Like most seniors Choco would likely appreciate a memory foam dog bed and senior dogfood/supplements to keep him feeling as young at heart as he is! 

We have tested Choco with our lobby cats and he displayed a moderate level of prey drive so we do not recommend him for homes with cats. He came to us with his young friend Latte who he seems to get along with well.   We feel he may be able to adjust to a home with another well matched dog with a slow, thoughtful introduction. 

If you have a home that might suit Choco he would love the chance to meet you!

Neutered Male

Akita Cross

Birthday: December 15, 2018

Location: Bandaged Paws Facility

Harvey is a confident boy; he knows what he likes and dislikes. Akitas can be known to be wary of strangers however, even though he looks a little rough around the edges, Harvey loves every person he has met while in our care! 

Harvey is a big softy at heart and believe it or not, kind of cat like! He really enjoys rubbing against your legs (possibly your stomach, depending on your height as this boy has long legs!) and having head boops to get your attention for head scratches. In his cat-like qualities, Harvey has no touch zones that include his feet and some of his torso, tolerates brushing sessions in short doses and isn’t a fan of his nails being trimmed. We believe his no-go zones are in relation to the fact he has severe arthritis in both his knees that he is on mobility supplements for. 

Harvey used to be a strictly outdoor dog and really shows his true goofy nature while outside.  We have only known Harvey to befriend one other dog, which he was introduced when the other dog was a puppy, and he has high prey drive for cats, so he needs a home where he is the only pet in the home. We were told he was great with children, however in our care he hasn’t been around any for us to truly know what his limits are. Given this, we would recommend that if his new family has children, they be old enough to understand how to be respectful of a fluffy boy whose face resembles an adorable teddy bear. Harvey would love the chance to be able to relax and enjoy the outdoors and would thrive with a large yard or acreage to watch over.

Great Dane 

Birthday: November 1, 2017 

Location: Foster Care

 Meet Trooper, our gentle giant and sweet old man, who's on the hunt for his perfect retirement home. At around 8 years old and a solid 52 kg, Trooper is a healthy, happy Great Dane who is in fantastic shape for his age according to the vet! 

After being returned to our care due to anxiety in his previous home, Trooper has been thriving in foster care. While he does have some mild separation anxiety, he’s made amazing progress and now just needs the right home to continue thriving.

Trooper gets along well with other dogs and even a cat, so having a canine companion in his new home would be ideal. He loves having a buddy to play with and though he’s no spring chicken, he still enjoys bursts of energy and fun with his fellow four-legged friends. When he's not playing you might find him happily tearing apart a toy and making "fluff confetti" or lounging around. Trooper is also a big fan of his humans and loves to shower them with affection. Expect him to boop you with his nose to remind you that there's a big, lovable boy in the room!

Though Trooper does experience some anxiety when his humans leave the house, a good walk and some mental stimulation before departure helps him settle in for a nap. In his previous home he was reported to be destructive due to separation anxiety, but he’s made great strides since being in foster care. He has been trialed in a kennel and does experience increased anxiety in that environment so he’s looking for a home where someone is around often to keep him company.

Trooper walks beautifully on leash and enjoys sniffy strolls, which are perfect for his gentle nature. This sweet boy may be in his golden years but he's full of life, love, and joy, and he deserves a family who can offer him the attention and care he needs. 

With the right home, Trooper will continue to thrive as the loving companion he’s always been.

Rottweiler Cross 

Birthday: February 15, 2024 Location: Bandaged Paws Facility

Tony is an absolutely stunning young boi with a playful spirit and a lot of love! He’s looking for an owner who can help him grow into a confident, well socialized dog. With the right guidance through positive reinforcement training and continued socialization with other dogs, Tony is sure to flourish and become a loyal and happy companion. He’s incredibly intelligent and eager to learn especially when treats are involved!

While Tony loves a good tumble style play session and sometimes likes to nibble at his playmates' legs during wrestling, he thrives with a tolerant playmate who can keep up with his playful nature. His playful energy and enthusiasm are contagious which makes him a great match for an active household!

Tony does have a protective instinct and may feel the need to watch over his loved ones so ongoing socialization is key to helping him feel more comfortable around new people. While he may be a little cautious at first, with the right encouragement and support he will grow more confident in unfamiliar situations and with strangers. His natural protective instincts paired with the right training will only make him a more devoted companion!

One of the best things about Tony is his signature full-body wiggle! When he’s happy (which is most of the time), he wiggles with so much excitement that you won’t be able to resist joining in the fun. If you're looking for a smart, loving, and loyal companion with a big heart and even bigger wiggles, Tony is the one for you!
