Adoptable of the Week: Eragon
Meet Eragon! Eragon is a courtesy
listing on Petfinder.com from the Friendly Giants Dog Rescue in Ottawa. Eragon
has been waiting a long time for the right forever home. He is a large,
adult nuetered Kuvasz who is very laid back and slow moving for the most part but can also
have fun and be energetic. Eragon comes with special needs but with a patient
and dedicated owner he would be a great pet. Eragon suffers from seasonal
allergies- like many dogs with white fur. He takes Evening Primrose every day
to try to prevent the urge to lick and chew his paws. Eragon is a true Kuvasz
to the core and would be best suited with a dominant owner who has experience
with large breed working dogs. Kuvasz are bred to guard their flock or home and
Eragon- like most Kuvasz- guards all sorts of things. Because of this he is not
suited for a home with young children and would flourish on a farm in a fenced in
area where he can guard his family. Eragon enjoys being groomed and doesn’t resist
when having his nails trimmed. He has an independent nature but still enjoys
affection and positive reinforcement training is a must with this dog. Eragon
needs the right person to take a chance on him and give him the structure and
care he so desperately desires.

Adoptable of the Week: Viva
Meet Viva! Viva is a beautiful senior Pointer who is in need of a
second chance from a calm and loving family. This gentle, nine year old girl
spent the majority of her life living in a crate. She had little contact with
people and no idea what a structured family life could be like. Fortunately
Viva was given a second chance when she was rescued by New Beginnings Pet Rescue in Ottawa, Ontario. Viva is now discovering the joy that humans can bring
to her life and is enjoying basic obedience training, hikes and this new found
affection. Although she is still timid- a result of her previous upbringing-
Viva wants to be loved and to share her love with people. She needs a pet
parent that is patient and gentle- someone to help her build back her
confidence and allow her to be a dog. Viva is frightened by loud noises but
tolerates the sounds of children playing. Due to her aversion of loud noises
Viva would be happiest away from big, booming cities and noisy traffic. She
needs a calm family who can mirror her energy level. The ideal happy ending for
Viva would be a senior couple who live in the country and would take her on
long hikes until she was tired and ready to go to sleep beside the fireplace.
Viva is fixed and vaccinated and gets along with cats and calmer dogs. If you are interested in learning more about Viva fill

Here is a great training tip- dogs are more likely
to learn verbal commands if you pair them with a hand signal or a gesture.
