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.

Barak (20260915-06)
DOB: 08/05/2023 Estimated
Age: 3 years
Weight: 31-40 lbs
Spayed/Neutered: Yes
Barak was left at the gates of the shelter in a box along with 4 female siblings (including Michelle who is also coming to Canada). They were about 7 months old at the time and all very thin and afraid. They took a while to adjust to life at the shelter and learn how to trust again but are now very well adapted and doing well. They have all been at the shelter for almost 3 years now and are ready for their forever homes.
Barak is sociable with dogs and people; he gets a bit nervous in unfamiliar places but becomes very affectionate once he feels confident. He barks at strangers out of fear but stops as soon as he smells and gets to know them. He tends to seek reassurance from people. Barak can be a bit nervous at first but once he knows you – you are his person for life. He takes every opportunity for affection from people and will sometimes create his own opportunity by coming over and sitting on your feet. He is a sweet, gentle and loving boy and will thrive having a family of his own. He is great around other dogs and shies away from conflict.
