Tasha

Tasha is an (approximately) 8 year old poodle (mix?). She came to us as the owner could no longer care for her.

Tasha is a very affectionate, well behaved little sweetheart. She is quite happy to curl up beside you wherever you are.

She has taken very well to her new foster home, where she lives with a cat, but no other dogs. This is a good thing, because she does get along fine with the resident cat, but has had some negative behavours towards other dogs of all sizes. She is not immediately reactive, usually quite submissive, but may become dominate and confrontational, and for a little dog, she does not back down.

She is crate trained, but left out, she hasn’t gotten in to too much trouble, other than finding some stray socks to chew apart.

She barks at things that go bump in the night, but is pretty quiet when she is out in the yard and dogs walk by on the other side of the fence.

She likes to go for walks, and pulls a bit, but she is pretty small so it isn’t hard at all to manage. She also loves car rides. Sits very quietly and is so well behaved.

We haven’t had Tasha around any small children, but she hasn’t had any negative reaction to any human up to this point. She does play shy, mostly to men, and would likely take to the female of the family more than the male.

Tasha also does have some separation anxiety, and barks and cries when I leave for work, so an apartment would probably not be a suitable home for her.

Tasha is available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue. The adoption donation is $400. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application. You can also reach us by email at GrandRiverRescue@hotmail.com.

Rory

Rory (previously Chalka in our program) is now 5 years old (born March 2013). She is very playful, she loves to fetch but also plays very well by herself. She is very gentle with her toys and doesn’t rip or ruin them. She gets along with 2 cats. She is very gentle with them, and doesn’t chase. She settles down easily while we get ready in the morning for work and also when we want to sit and read or watch television. She loves going for walks.

Rory is leash reactive with other dogs and when frustrated may redirect. She is fine with some dogs off leash and is in training to help her improve her leash frustration. For this reason, Rory should go to a home with experienced dog owners or owners willing to work with a trainer on this matter. She would do best in a home with kids 12 plus. If interested please apply.

Rory is available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue. The adoption donation is $400. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.

Declan

This handsome guy is super rambunctious when he sees strangers and other dogs, but when he’s in the house relaxing all he wants is to be cuddled and loved.

Declan needs an experienced owner who is willing to walk him daily during off peak hours, or in less crowded areas and a fenced yard where he can be off-leash would be ideal.

He knows not to beg for food and is very good at being alone with his peanut butter kong during the day (after his morning walk of course) – and will definitely light up when you come home to him in the evening.

This sweet 7 year old will steal your heart and keep it protected for you.

Declan needs a home without other animals but is fine with kids and would like a nice yard to play in! He is originally from a first nation reserve and was adopted out several years ago and due to some family issues they could no longer keep him. He was well loved and would like another family to call his own.

Declan is available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue. The adoption donation is $400. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.

Jagger

Jagger is an 8 year old border collie / husky cross. He is 60 lbs of short creamy white fur with a striking dappled red nose & ears. He has a truly goofy grin when he’s happy and his expressive toffee brown eyes make it hard to stay mad at him for any length of time. He is house trained and absolutely adores his crate. He often puts himself to bed in it if if his people are up past his bedtime. He also likes to nap on the couch.

Jagger loves playtime, his absolute favourite toy is his tug rope. He’ll amaze you at how fast plush toys can be taken apart. However, he is very gentle with his rubber toys. He tends to get bored, so rotating his toys is a good idea. Outside he plays with a large rubber ball but has the typical husky attitude after a few throws of “if you lose it again it’s not my problem “. Jagger has never truly played with a Frisbee, but given the space would astound you at how high he can jump. He is very smart and learns quickly. He’s food motivated and knows sit, down, wait, look at me, with me, turn, and of course high five.

Jagger leans more towards his husky side. He walks well on his gentle leader but still has a tendency to pull when distracted. He likes nothing better than to see new places, he occasionally gets car sick but this is solved by timing his meals accordingly. Jagger is fascinated by water but doesn’t want to be in it, he will avoid puddles at all costs and take you home if it starts to rain on a walk. He loves being around it and will bring you right to the water’s edge, just don’t try to make him go in.

Jagger is dog reactive, and will bark and lunge when he sees other dogs. This is behaviour can lead to him redirecting on whoever is near. When unable to escape he does have some leash aggression, interpreting any movement towards him as a threat. He has been making great strides towards correcting this, and rarely reacts to neighboring dogs. He would benefit greatly from a course specializing in reactive dogs.

Jagger is an absolute sweetheart. He’s a cuddly fun boy that would do well in a dog savvy home with a well fenced yard with people willing to provide the training that the high energy and northern breeds need. He needs a quiet adult home with no other pets and experienced owners.

Jagger is available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue. The adoption donation is $400. All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.

Jessica & Jeffrey

These cuties are now approximately 16 weeks old. They came to our rescue after having lived outside for the first two months of their life. They are still a bit shy of everyone but they are starting to become more social.

Jessica is definitely the most curious and bold of the two. She is inquisitive and loves to chase toys on a wand. He latest trick is to chase feet under a blanket. She is usually the one who will instigate play and she loves to explore.

Jeffrey is a little more shy but is the cuddler and he purrs like an engine. He loves the chase game with his sister and he is no pushover when it comes to playing.

They love to chase each other around the house and they are even getting used to the resident large dogs. They could live with a respectful dog given time as they do not like when the one dog gets excited when they are playing.
They are both eating well and using the litter box without issues.

Jessica and Jeffrey are available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue.  The adoption donation is $175 per cat. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application.

Beans & Biscuit

Beans & Biscuit were rescued at 8 weeks old from a farm after their mom had been hit by a car. These two boys adapted to life indoors immediately! Since day one they have been such loving and affectionate kittens who crave human attention and look for any opportunity to be around people. They are both very high energy and playful (as kittens tend to be) and love toys of any kind!

Beans (light coloured tabby)
Beans is an energetic, loving and affectionate boy. He loves all human contact and looks for any opportunity to be around people. Beans is a purring machine, who starts purring the second a human walks in the room.

Biscuit (dark coloured tabby)
Biscuit is slightly more shy than his brother Beans, but is extremely loving and affectionate. Biscuit lives for belly rubs, rolling over any chance he can. He loves to lick people during playtime and cuddle time. Biscuit likes to play, but also enjoys along time.

Biscuit and Beans are the ultimate cuddle monsters! Every chance they get they snuggle up into their foster mom and foster dad’s lap! They are the best lazy-Sunday companions and provide the warmest welcome home at the end of a long day. They are constantly purring – their foster family jokes that Biscuit and Beans purr instead of breathing. They are such a joy to be around and would make a wonderful addition to any family. In their foster home they have been exposed to so many different things that have made them adaptable and easy going! They like children and toddlers, adult cats, senior dogs and young dogs alike, pregnant women (because pregnant bellies make the best cuddle spots), busy households and quiet ones too!

Beans & Biscuit are available for adoption together through Grand River All Breed rescue. The adoption donation is $175 per kitten.

Pickles

Coming to her foster home directly from the Humane Society, Pickles settled in very quickly. She is a beautiful dilute calico about 11 years old and front paw declawed. She meows when she wants you to make your lap available for her to sit on, but prefers not to be picked up. She is very clean and always uses her litter box. She likes to be brushed and enjoys looking out the patio door at the birds and squirrels. Pickles would love to be the only pet in the house and would do best in an adult home. She has stage 3 kidney disease and eats a special diet, takes a supplement, and needs a blood test once or twice a year to monitor her levels. If you would love a nice, calm cat as a companion, Pickles is your girl!

 

Pickles’ foster reports that she has a very cute habit: In the morning while waiting to be fed, she is SO excited that her tail stands straight up and vibrates while she does a little dance with her hind legs.

If she does not have access to this spot, she will be very vocal to let you know that this is her territory! Nemo gets along very well with her foster brother, and has also been introduced to small dogs with no problems. Nemo would do best in a quiet household, as she can become spooked quite easily by loud noises. Nemo is also declawed on her front paws.

Tawny

Meet Tawny. She is approx. 2 years old and was brought in as a stray to a humane society. She wasn’t doing well in a cage and we were asked to take her. She would do best in a quiet home and would probably love to live with a single person. She doesn’t like loud noises and tends to attach herself to one person. She likes to sleep at the end of your bed and will be a shadow to the person she trusts. She is calm but does enjoy a game of chase when you throw the toys. She will occasionally chase her tail when playing too. Tawny loves her wet food and it is the quickest way to make her your new best friend. Tawny has never lived with other animals in our program so we are unsure as to whether she would do well with them but most likely would prefer to be an only cat.

Tawny is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed rescue.  The adoption donation is $175. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption.

Monkey

Monkey, more affectionately called Monk the Hunk, is a beautiful 8-year-old tabby male. He is currently the resident grump at his current foster home. Don’t be fooled by his perma-scowl though! Monkey is an affectionate cat that likes to be at the center of attention. After a few months in his new home Monkey has visibly become more affectionate and incredibly playful around his foster mommies. He’s even become a bit of a cuddle bum and will climb up into the laps of the “chosen ones” (check out the video link below). Further, Monkey is a very chatty fellow- and will greet his family at the door when they come home. Monkey needs a lot of attention or he gets frustrated – he hates knowing something is going on in a part of the house and will usually meow and paw at the door. His foster family is currently working on positive reinforcement to change this behaviour, and his new family is encouraged to do the same.

Monkey being cuddly: https://goo.gl/Vk8Gxy

Although playful, Monkey has been known to become easily overstimulated resulting in some hard nipping and occasional scratching. Due to this it is recommended that he go to a home with no children, with true “cat people” who can respect his boundaries. In his previous foster home Monkey got along very well with the house dog, and with supervision could even live with a pet bird! If you’re interested in adopting Monkey or have any questions don’t hesitate to contact GRAB who can get you in touch with Monkey’s foster parents.

Monkey is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed rescue.  The adoption donation is $175. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption.

Bunny

Here is Bunny! She is approx. 6 years old the vet thinks and was found as an outside stray near a barn. Bunny lives with other foster cats and tolerates them but would prefer to be the only cat most likely. She would make a great companion for anyone wanting an affectionate cat.

Bunny is a very skilled cuddler. Her favourite hobbies include napping, resting and snoozing. She can do many tricks, such as, lying down and closing her eyes. She is particularly good at purring. Her most impressive trick is an impression of a frog which she performs when meowing.

Bunny is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed rescue.  The adoption donation is $175. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption.

Kali

Kali is a gorgeous and petite shorthaired tabby who was born on April 2, 2009.

 

From Kali’s foster mom:

She is a spayed, short haired, silver tabby with a sweet temperament. She loves affection, will sit with you to be petted and sometimes enjoys it so much that she drools a bit. She is really a gentle soul. Likes to play, likes being at the top of the cat tree, she can be a real chatty girl sometimes – like when she hasn’t seen you in awhile.

She doesn’t get along well with other cats but would be an excellent only cat or perhaps with the right dog. She eats mostly urinary control food, but I think her problem is mainly stress related from harassment by the other cats. Throughout, she has been very good using the litterbox.

Kali is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed rescue.  The adoption donation is $175. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption.

Jack

Jack was adopted out in 2009 but is unfortunately being returned as he has been diagnosed with diabetes. He requires insulin shots 2X a day and we are looking for a home for him that is experienced with diabetic cats or is willing to learn! He is an amazing cat who is well worth it!

Jack is a 7-8 year old declawed male black and white cutie who had a rough start in life. He had been living outside and the vet thinks he was possibly thrown from a car, based on injuries to his back paws. He had also been beaten up by other cats, and was in rough shape when we got him. A kind citizen took in this poor cat and we then took him into our program. He has been fixed up and is doing much better now!

He is a friendly cat who likes to sit on his foster mom’s lap. He gets along well with other cats, and he would prefer a home without dogs. He would be fine living in a home with kids.

Jack has a very cute squeeky meow! He loves to chat, so if you are looking for a good conversationalist, Jack is your guy!

Update on Jack, Nov. 3, 2013:

Jack is doing well with his diabetes he has his shots of 2.5 units of insulin twice a day. He does not even notice it is being given as I give it when he is eating and boy does he love his food.

He is living with several other cats all with very different personalities and he is relaxed and happy around all of them.

He loves to just lay on the window sill in the sun or lounge on the back of the couch.

He would love a home where he could get a bit more attention as he likes to be cuddled and fussed and as there are dogs here he is not keen and tends to stay in the basement with the other cats.

He would love a home where he could be part of the action.

Jack is available for adoption through Grand River All Breed rescue.  The adoption donation is $175. All of our cats are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated as part of their adoption. If you’d like to adopt, please fill out an application. You can also reach us by email at GrandRiverRescue@hotmail.com.

She doesn’t like to be picked up but will allow her foster mom to pet her on her own terms. Fuzzy gets along with cats and dogs. She would prefer a home with another cat so we will be only looking at applications that have other cats for her forever home.

From Lulu’s foster mom: Lulu is a sweet gentle girl who loves to cuddle. Right now she lives in a house with many other cats and would be happier with fewer cats and more time to cuddle with people. She is very shy when meeting new people so she is looking for a quite patient person to love her.

Flower and Charlene are approximately 5 years old. (born in 2008). Flower is a beautiful grey tabby and she is also a polydactyl, meaning that she has extra toes!
