Ada is a sweet, gentle Shepherd mix who has endured several difficult chapters and is still waiting for a lasting home. Though she can be shy and skittish at first, she becomes affectionate, loyal, and eager to connect once she feels safe. She is young, playful, intelligent, and enjoys squeaky toys and playing with other dogs.

Ideal Home

Ada needs a patient home with a secure yard and another dog to help guide her and share in playtime. She can live with cats and older, respectful children. She is a flight risk if frightened and needs mindful handling. Apartment living is not suitable.

Ongoing Health

Ada is spayed and weighs 57 pounds. No medical conditions are reported.

Training & Support

• Fully house trained and crate trained; an XL crate is recommended.
• Walks well on leash once comfortable and rides well in the car.
• Learns commands and routines quickly.
• Medium-high energy and young and playful; she may dig if bored.
• Comes with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org.

Application Details

• Applications start by contacting the provider through Wags.
• Meet-and-greets for dogs in Ontario are arranged after an adoption application is approved.
• Ada needs a patient adopter who will help her build confidence and will not give up on her.

Transportation

Ada is currently in Texas and will travel to the Niagara Region once an appropriate adopter or local foster is found.
