MUSKOKA♀

About

MUSKOKA hails from the Northern community of Keywaywin and came south with her 3 siblings, Cottage, Dock and Bonfire to find her forever home. She’s had her 2 sets of puppy vaccines, a microchip, “Interceptor Plus” dewormer and been deemed a healthy girl by her Vet. We have no information on either parent so the breeds we have her listed as and the size she’ll grow to be is just an educated guess. Seeing as she comes from a community with lots of stray dogs she no doubt has many different breeds in her that are not as notable as well. She really loves to socialize with people and will excitedly run up to them with her tail wagging to greet them. With her happy personality and loving nature she’s ready to find her forever home where she can continue to thrive and grow. MUSKOKA is sweet, playful and full of curiosity. This lovely girl loves to spend time outside playing in her fenced-in yard. When her playtime is over she’s all about the cuddles and she’ll happily curl up in your lap for some quality nap time. MUSKOKA has just started her crate training and is picking up on that very quickly as she’s a very smart girl. She’s only just started going out for her bathroom breaks and she’s just starting to realize that’s the place to do her business. She’s just started to go on walks but she’s already getting to know when it’s time to go out and she gets excited about going out. Due to teething, she’s at a chewing stage and needs lots of chewy toys to satisfy that urge not to chew on anything that she shouldn’t. She really loves to chew on a Nyla bone to keep those little teeth busy too. She’s starting to learn a couple of basic commands already such as go “sit” for her meals and to take treats “gentle.” MUSKOKA’s ideal family would be an active one who loves the outdoors, going on hikes, walks and will take her on adventures with them. She really loves to go in a vehicle and will just rest in her crate and quietly enjoy being driven around. There is a large female dog in her foster home and they get on very well together so she would definitely suit a home with one. She’s never met a cat so if there’s one in the home then they should be dog savvy and we always recommend that a slow, monitored introduction be made between them while the puppy is on a leash. She needs a fenced-in yard so she can run around and play safely. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be gentle, loving and caring towards animals. MUSKOKA, like all puppies is cute, playful and a fun puppy but she’ll also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We need her adopter to commit to signing her up for puppy training/obedience classes so she can be the most well behaved puppy possible. Her spay is included in her adoption fee and her potential adopter must be in agreement to have her spay performed by the time she’s 6 months of age. It will either be at our vet’s office or be at the Barrie SPCA. You do have the option to use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there. However her spay will still have to be performed in the above timeframe. For the reimbursement we will need a copy of the procedure invoice and an updated photo of her (preferably in a onsie or cone after the surgery.) The photo will be put on our fb page along with other animals that were spay/neutered that same week. If MUSKOKA sounds like she’d suit your home and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet her. It should be noted that puppies personalities can change daily/weekly as their little brains develop. We try to keep our puppy postings as up-to-date as possible but due to their development, it’s not always possible to note 100% accurate behavioural information.
