Name: Mia
Age: 1.5 Yrs Breed: Aussie Shepherd X Gender: Female Meet Mia, the shelter favourite (psst- don't tell the others!). Mia is a fearful dog who tries to talk the big talk, but is actually a giant softie inside needing a calm home with an experienced owner who loves the Aussie herding-breed! When Mia first arrived she was very fearful and would bark at strangers, she appears specifically to be nervous around men. She still does so occasionally, but since being at the shelter she's come around quickly to the people who work with her. The above being said if you're hoping to be Mia's best friend you have to earn it- this is not a dog who will blindly give you her trust. Owner(s) must be committed to using positive reinforcement training techniques (and be willing to sign up for one-on-one training!) as this sweetheart is only likely to regress further into her shell with individuals who plan otherwise. Mia will need an active home willing to give her plenty of exercise to burn off her energy- remember- herding breed! She has been crate trained and has lived with a small dog and cat before, so likely would do well with both or either assuming she was introduced properly and slowly. Due to her fearfulness, homes with no children (e.g., no individuals less than 16) would be highly preferred to help this girl adjust to her new surroundings much quicker! Mia can get into trouble if left unattended and will chew, and is very...very vocal at the shelter so a detached house is strongly preferred (as she is likely to cause tension with neighbours!). To see this darling girl please visit the shelter during adoption viewing hours! |
Aspen - Kingston Humane Society
Aspen, 3 yr male aussie mix.
Meet Aspen! This 3 year old bubbly and adorable australian shepherd cross has a beautiful coat and the personality to match. He is a high energy boy who would love to find a family that will keep him busy and active with lots of walks and adventuring. Aspen would not be a good candidate for dog parks as he does not get long well with other canines and we are looking for a home that is willing to give him the only pet household he deserves. Because of his energy level we are looking for a house setting to provide him with the space and freedom to shine without the potential to disturb neighbours close by. Aspen has a ton of bouncy and enthusiastic tendencies so potential adopters should be prepared to work with him to give him the tools to keep all four paws on the ground and fight the temptation to steal goodies from counter tops. He would love to take on the challenge of obedience or agility school and adopters would be rewarded with an all star companion. Do you think you may have the space in your heart for this sweet boy? He still has plenty of joy and love to give! Be sure to ask about him today!
