Hi, I’m Champ

As you can see from my photos, I’m a pretty handsome guy with a great smile. In typical husky fashion, I have a LOT of energy and would love to be your hiking, running or swimming buddy. I even have a number of tricks to keep you entertained!

I look up to the great Houdini and have been known to make great escapes of my own. All of my furriends are impressed when they hear about the times I’ve jumped over fences and broke through crates!

The PDA handlers describe me as goofy, loving, loyal and sweet.

Hi, I’m Gatlin

I love to snuggle, chase butterflies, play with the garden hose and spend time with my best furriend Khoya. 

I keep a close circle and have a really hard time making new furriends. Stranger danger, amirite?? Speaking of Stranger danger, I don’t trust new people and can react aggressively out of fear. Thankfully I’ve mastered wearing a muzzle so I can experience the outside world! I will need a lot of time to learn to trust my new family and would prefer to stay safe in my crate when visitors come by. Also, tiny humans scare me. They’re so grabby and unpredictable – adults only please!!

Hi, I’m Khoya!

Like my BFF Gatlin, I also have a hard time meeting new people and dogs and can react aggressively.

Once you get past my tough girl demeanor, I’m loving, loyal and sweet. I especially love belly rubs and snuggles! To keep others safe I’ve mastered my crate and muzzle skills.

Hi, I’m Piper!

I agree with Gatlin and Khoya… strangers are scary and cannot be trusted!! I will take some time to warm up to my new family but once I get to know you I will love you furever! I’m very cuddly and LOVE pets and snuggles.

The best way to get to my heart is through my stomach. I am a foodie and willing to taste test any new recipe – free of charge!! I also love crunching empty waterbottles, going for walks and playing fetch. 

I am a smarty pants who is extremely obedient. I am especially proud of my downstay as well as my leash and muzzle skills.

Hi, I’m Beau!

I’m an old soul who loves leisurely walks and long naps. I get along well with other dogs and people…so long as they don’t touch my stuff! This includes my bed, my food, and my favourite spot on the couch. Like some humans, I can get grumpy if you wake me up from a nap or try to move me when I’m cozy. “Let sleeping dogs lie” – thats my motto!

I’m pretty low maintenance, just feed me, take me on short walks, and give me a place to crash. In return I will give you companionship and loyalty.

Meet Sahara! 

I am playful, curious and attentive. I love people and get along well with my select group of furriends. It’s best to keep me away from cats and other small creatures, I just can’t kick my predatory instincts! 

While I’m friendly to most dogs, I have a hard time sharing and can get upset if another dog touches my stuff. I think I’d like to be your one and only pet.

Hi, I’m Tiramisu! 

I’m a petite shepherd with lots of love to give! I’m a great play buddy to my best furriends but can be selective about which dogs I like. I’m crate trained and pick up skills easily. 

Cats?? I LOVE cats! You mean for breakfast… right? I am known for my ability to hunt and attack small creatures, including dogs. I promise to keep your home pest free (including cats).

Overall I’m sweet, smart and playful.

Hi, I’m Minka! 

I’m a very sweet girl who is eager to please.

I can be a little cautious the outside world but If you’re willing to help me build confidence, I’m sure I can make you proud! 

I love pets and am very affectionate. I’m also an athlete! I’m great at jumping obstacles (including fences) and can run pretty fast.

Howdy, I’m Journey! 

I came to PDA all the way from Texas USA!

Due to the overpopulation of strays, I was sentenced to death row. Thankfully I was brought to PDA for a second chance at life. I’m a very sweet easy going girl who loves naps. I get along with people and other dogs but can sometimes be a little shy. Once I warm up I’m playful and affectionate. I’ve never had a home and would be grateful to have a family to call my own. 

Breed: Lab/hound mix, approx 70lbs

FS, DOB: Unknown, estimated 2020

Please note that Journey is a flight risk and requires a fully enclosed outdoor space.

Hiya, I’m Clyde! 

I’m a medium energy guy who loves a good butt scratch. I’m very confident and can sometimes be stubborn. 

I’m a keen explorer who loves to investigate the world around me. I love walks but have a tendency to pull. You would too if you had a nose as good as mine! 

Since I’m so confident and smart, I’ve volunteered to govern any playroom I’m in. No misbehaving on my watch! Sometimes my furriends call me the fun police behind my back. While I’m proud of my title, it can be tiring. I think i’d like to be the only dog in my new home.

Hi there, I’m Dakota! 

I’m a very shy girl who takes her time warming up to new people. Since my owners passed away, it’s been hard to show love like I used to.

Once I get to know you I promise I’ll make a great best furriend. I’m affectionate and loyal and will enjoy following you around. 

I will need some help building confidence in a new environment. I am especially fearful of loud noises. I’m shaking just thinking about fireworks!! Got a bathtub I can hide in?

Howdy, I’m Sedona! 

After I delivered my pups back in Texas, we were all sent to a kill shelter. Thankfully some kind people brought me to PDA for a second chance at finding my furever family.

I get along well with most dogs and people but sometimes I can get overstimulated and a little nippy. Children especially overwhelm me, I had some of my own and that was more than enough!! I could see myself living with an older child who can respect my boundaries and keep things calm.

Hi, I’m Wrigley! 

I’m a very playful guy who loves humans and dogs alike. On any given day you can find me goofin’ it up and wrestling with my furriends. I would love some human siblings but I worry that I might knock over the wee ones. I think kids over the age of 7 would be perfect! I would also love another dog to play with. I’d be happy in a home with no pets or kids too, so long as you love to play!!

Howdy, I’m Kriss-Kross!

I’m a playful guy who LOVES affection. I can be selective about which dogs I get along with but I have a special place in my heart for a few of the ladies here. I have a lot of energy and am always up for an adventure. Plus I have excellent leash skills!!

Hiya, I’m Elwood!

Before I came to PDA I never saw much of the outside world. Most of my time was spent in my crate. 

I’m still getting used to all of the new things I’m trying. My favourite part was meeting other dogs. I was a little nervous at first but now I love to play – especially with the ladies! I’ve made a few girlfurriends and am known for being a bit of a flirt.

There are a few new things I don’t like… I can be sensitive about being touched and I don’t like being told what to do. I also don’t like when people touch my stuff but hey, I’ve never had such nice stuff!! Handlers at PDA say i’m warming up quickly and with enough love and patience I’ll make a great dog!

MN, Breed: Lab mix, approx 45lbs DOB: August 2024

Hi, I’m Zoli!

I’m a  shy guy who is still learning the ways of the world. I love playing with furriends and keeping active. I will happily share my toys but I do NOT like to share the really good stuff like treats and chews.

I also don’t like young kids – too unpredictable! 

I’m sweet, affectionate, loving and cuddly. With the proper guidance I’m sure I can become a polite young gentleman.

Hi there, I’m Zava! 

I’m confident, playful and snuggly. I get along with dogs and people of all ages and I would love to join you on adventures! Around here I’m known for my kind heart and affectionate personality. I know Huskies have a reputation of being high energy but I’d say I’m more of a medium energy gal. I’m up for a pawty but I also know how to keep things chill.

Hello, I’m Tango! 

I’m a total sweetheart who gets along with everyone. I have a lot of energy and am very playful, hopefully you are too! I believe that communication is the core of a great relationship. My sweet hound noises and expressive features will let you know what I’m thinking.

I’m crate trained, great in the car and working on my leash skills.

Hi, I’m Runa! 

I was brought to PDA by some nice people who found me on the side of the road. When they found me I was locked in a crate without food or water. I had a bad case of mange and the vet described me as emaciated. I’m not sure why I was left that way, I like to think I’m a pretty good dog.

After a few weeks at PDA I am a totally different dog! I love going for walks, playing with new furriends and getting lots of love from handlers. I get along with everyone and enjoy meeting new people. My mange is gone but the vet isn’t sure how much hair I’ll be able to grow back. I’m hoping that my sweet nature makes up for my funky hairdo.

Whatsup!? I’m Big Delicious but you can call me Biggie for short

Don’t be fooled by my tough guy looks, I’m a big softie who loves everyone including people, most dogs and kitty cats! I like a good butt scratch and I love walks. I’m still working on my leash manners but my skills will improve with practice. I’m pretty strong so I’ll need a strong owner.

Hey there, I’m Priya!

When I first came to PDA I was shy and nervous. I’ve been a very brave girl and am proud to say that I  have even made some furriends! The handlers won me over pretty quick, I like to think I won them over pretty quickly as well.

Hey, I’m Vincent!

I love: cookies, cuddles and naps.

I hate: strangers.

It’s hard for me to trust strangers, both humans and dogs. I must disclose that I am required to wear a muzzle in public, BUT I am muzzle trained and come with my very own. Once I get to know you I’ll be putty in your hands.

Hi there, I’m Lolli!

I’m a sweet, affectionate girl who is very obedient. I do have fear based reactivity and unfortunately I have previously let fear get the best of me. Due to a bite history I request that my new home be child-free and that I be the only pet. Who needs kids anyways… I’ll be your baby! 

In my short time at the PDA facility I have met new people and made new furriends with no issues, but I need new people and dogs to give me the time and space I need to get to know them before approaching me. I can be a little shy but I mean no harm. I love my crate and should be crated when new people come over – no new friends!

Hi, I’m Betty!

I’m a very affectionate girl with lots of love to give. I get along well with most other dogs but I tend to get excited around the little guys. I have minor resource guarding, but only to other doggos. I’m a good listener and will leave something alone if you tell me to. I can be a little shy to start but I’ll show my snuggle bug personality with a little patience.

Hi, I’m Zye! 

Are you hiring? I’m only 50% Maremma but I promise I’m 100% ready to guard. I love people I know and get along well with other animals but If I see a sudden stranger on my property, my instincts will kick in. I do have a minor bite history but I was just doing my job! I’ll need my new family to respect my instincts. On my off time I enjoy lounging, snacking and playing.

Don’t get distracted by my handsome features, I’m more than just my good looks! I’ve got a big heart and I’m available for all of your snuggling needs. I haven’t had much exposure to other dogs so I’m taking things slow. I’m a muzzle pro and good at paying attention to other dogs’ social cues.

I’ve been through a lot in my life. Before coming to PDA I was left at a kill shelter in Texas with a fractured leg. Thankfully I was rescued, my leg was fixed up and now I live in beautiful Kingston Ontario. Every once in awhile a get a little limp but otherwise I am right as rain!

I’m working on my weight loss journey. In the meantime my extra chunk will help keep you warm on cold nights.

Ideally I’d like to be the only dog in your home but know that I can get along well with others if introduced correctly.
