OUT-OF-TOWN Dogs with NDR refer to dogs we have saved that have yet to make their journey to Ontario. These dogs are currently in our care with the help of our partners in the area. These dogs will all travel to the Niagara Region once an appropriate adopter or local foster is found.

Backstory: Skittles is one of 11 littermates born to Zara a beautiful friendly German Shepherd who has found her forever home.

Foster comments: Skittles is a beautiful, gentle, affectionate pup. She is smart and very treat motivated so learns quickly. She knows commands sit, down and come. She is still a puppy and is learning manners. She will chew on things if not supervised but is easily redirected to things that are appropriate to chew on and other activities to keep her busy. She is crate trained and loves her bed. She is great with dogs and loves to play with the other 4 dogs in the home. She is unsure of the cats in the foster home but has been fine with them. She will make a wonderful addition to any family!
