I am Vada! I am a sweet and calm one year old Shepherd Cross. I didn’t have the easiest life before coming into care and had a litter of puppies who found new homes so now it’s my turn! After being rescued I learned what a warm home is, what toys are and that I will have constant water and regular meals and ear rubs from humans. 
I live with two younger children (4 and 7) and a female dog. I am very gentle with the children as they give me treats, pet and play with me. I love to play with the dog who lives in the house. We have so much fun playing outside but I give her space when inside. I like to empty my toy box to see how many toys I have. The squeaker toys are my favourite. I like to see if I can get the squeaker out.... ooppsss. 
I love to be outside and play but if you need a cuddle I am there. Especially if you let me up on the couch but I am learning that I have to be invited up, otherwise my dog bed is fine with me. 
I am working on basic commands such as sit, come and my name. I think I would like to do more obedience classes to learn new tricks! 
The kennel isn’t my favourite. I don’t really like to go in it but with a treat and nudge I will go and I am fine when my people leave for work for the day. At night I stay out in the house without any fuss. 
Car rides? Sure... I’m great in the SUV once I get in it! How do you jump in these moving things? I like to be lifted in, probably with practice I’ll eventually jump in on my own. 
Did I tell you how amazing I am at the vet? The veterinarian was so impressed by me at my assessment. I was just happy to get food and pets while they checked me over!
I really am looking for a person or family to spend time with. So if you think you’re the one for me please put in an adoption application and meet me.

I am LOVING life now that I am in foster care, things were pretty rough before. I am not sure why someone shot me, but the bullet broke my right hind leg and then lodged in my left flank. Even after my broken leg healed that bullet kept bothering me but a nice lady at Albert North Veterinary Clinic took it out and I am so grateful.

I am truly a gentleman, who loves to be around people, my foster family calls me the "Shadow". I am very content to cuddle and watch TV (Yes, I actually watch TV and prefer anything on Animal Planet) or lay by your feet and eat peanut butter out of a Kong. I love going for car rides and running errands. I also like going for walks and will walk on a loose leash and take treats gently from your hand. See what a gentleman I am.

They say I am really smart. I know how to open a leaver door (just figured that one out on my own), and know the words; sit, down, no, speak, shake a paw, and I will even fetch.

If you are looking for a loyal friend to be part of your family then I am the guy for you.

crystal

Name: Crystal
Best breed guess: Shepherd Cross
Age: 3 years
Weight:  48 lbs
Sex: Female
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Up to date on age appropriate vaccinations: Yes
Kennel trained: ​ Yes
House/Potty trained: Yes
Adoption Fee: $275
Good with kids: Yes. Jumps and runs a lot so maybe older kids.
Good with cats: Some. If they stand up to her, and don't run. 
Good with other dogs:  Yes. Can be in your face with them but friendly.

So, its me Crystal. I'm a bit sad that my forever family hasn't found me yet, but I'm not letting that keep me from living a happy life. Live in the moment I say. My foster mom loves me to bits, she tells me lots every day how pretty and sweet I am. I only frustrate her a bit when we go outside. I soooo love to be outside. I love to play with my foster siblings, walk and just be outside with my people. I took care of myself for a few years, so not sure why humans think I need all these rules, and leashes. I just want to be free!!! But I'm working at walking on that leash without pulling... its hard. I sometimes bark at other dogs when on leash but then my foster mom walks me away.... I'm learning to not react badly. 
Inside I'm a total cuddle bug. I love to snuggle in and get belly and ear rubs. I have super soft fur and gorgeous soft brown eyes so my foster mom says. She loves to snuggle with me early in the morning and at bedtime. 
I would love to have a patient and active family that would take me to cool places to walk and explore. I am very bouncy and fun. Tiggerific is a word I hear often. 
When I first got to this foster home I was very unsure about things. I heard its called separation anxiety, but once I figured out my foster mom always comes home for me I settled right in. I don't have to be in the kennel as much now that I'm settled, but it doesn't bother me to be in it anyways. Toss in some treats and who wouldn't want to hang in there! 
I really am a sweet, fun and loving little girl who just wants a family who wants to be with me as much as I want to be with them. If they have a fun loving dog to play and cuddle with, that's a bonus. I keep my foster siblings hopping! Took me a while to feel comfortable playing with the biggest dog here, but now we play wrestle and chase each other lots. I love it!! 
I hope someone reads this and loves my pictures and contacts The Pack Project to meet me. You really don't get the full effect of me until you meet me! Until then, I'll play and learn and wait. Thanks

cleopatra

 Name: Cleopatra (aka: Large Marge)
Best breed guess: Pyrenees cross (guess with Smooth Coated Colllie, possible Lab)
Age:  1 year 9 months
Weight:  96 lbs
Sex: Female
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Up to date on age appropriate vaccinations: yes,
Kennel trained: ​ yes, but I prefer to be left out. 
House/Potty trained: Yes
Adoption Fee: $275
Good with kids: yes (7+)
Good with cats: yes
Good with other dogs: Yes

My first name is Cleopatra but I have many nicknames such as Large Marge, Big Girly Girl, Big Woofer, Big Snorkels, as you can see my nicknames reference my size but that does not bother me, my Foster Mom says I am just big boned.
I have learnt so many things since I came into foster. I enjoy being an indoor dog and LOVE being part of the family. I am house trained and will kennel if I have too, but I am so well behaved I get to stay out of the kennel with my foster brothers, both the human and canine ones. I have gone to a basic obedience class and know 'come', 'sit', 'down', 'leave it', and how to walk on a loose leash. I am working really hard on 'stay' but I find 'stay' so challenging as I really want to be with my people.
I like to have fun and LOVE walks. I have learnt to jump over a park bench on command and will do an obstacle course on the play structures at the school close to where I live. I also LOVE car rides. We go on adventures to pet friendly stores like Rona to check out the sales and meet other people, especialy when it is too cold outside for my Foster Mom. I have met a house cat and cats at PetSmart and did not bother them. I've heard they have sharp things at the end of their toes, so I have heard it is best to stay away.
My Foster Mom says I would make a great hiking & pack dog. I have carried a doggie backpack which I don't mind at all. I am a bigger girl, so I could carry a fair amount. I could carry my own food and water or a tetra pack of wine for you maybe?
I get along well with my canine friends large and small, and love to wrestle or play chase. I enjoy toys, especially balls or crinkly toys and I have also figured out how to get treats out of the sliding doggie puzzle. When my canine foster brothers and I get treats, I will line up and wait my turn, then I will take the treat ever so gently. My mom says I have really good manners and I am such a gentle soul.
I am really just a big, goofy, sweet, gentle girl, who just wants to be part of the family, maybe your family? (Did I mention I can carry wine?)

Hi my name is Ava. Everyone I meet tells me I’m the sweetest puppy they’ve ever met. I love people. I haven’t met any kids yet but I think I would love them. I love being outside playing with my toys and chasing my fur siblings around the yard. I’m still learning that I need to go outside to go to the bathroom but I’m a smart girl so I’m learning fast. After a hard day of playing I love to snuggle on the couch and fall asleep getting belly rubs. I sleep in my kennel at night and don’t make a sound. My foster mom tells me that I snore really loud and sometimes I wake her up. She doesn’t mind though because I am so darn cute. I can’t wait to meet my fur ever family who will play with me and teach me lots!

 thor (adoption pending)

Name: Thor
Best breed guess: Staffie Cross
Age:  2 Years
Sex: Male
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Up to date on age appropriate vaccinations: yes
Kennel trained: ​working on it
House/Potty trained: yes
Adoption Fee: $275
Good with kids: yes
Good with cats:  Can be a bit overwhelmed with them.
Good with other dogs: Yes, is a little iffy around bigger male dogs.

Hello! My name is Thor and I am an absolute gentleman! I love to cuddle lots and meet lots of people who want to show me some love! I am very confident, some times a little too confident when meeting other big boys like me! I tend to overthink and try to be the one on charge! With proper introductions, I settle into being friends. I am generally very happy and playful, but I get it when my family wants to relax and be calm. I find kitties a little scary and I tend to get a bit overwhelmed with them. Sometimes I just want to get a little too “in their business”!

I love to learn new tricks and I know sit, lay down, Shake a paw and I know to bring my leash for walk time! I LOVE walk time!I love kids and little dogs but sometimes I need to be reminded when to give space. I absolutely loves being brushed but bath time can be a little scary. I also love car rides or anything where I can be close to my people!

We have more dogs coming soon!
