MILK BAR hails from a Southern community in Ontario and came into the rescue with his 3 siblings, Bournville, Galaxy and Dairy Milk. They came into Rescue on the Easter weekend so they received the litter name of the “Chocolates’s” and this little guy is now looking for his forever home. He’s had his 2 sets of puppy vaccines, a microchip, “Interceptor Plus” dewormer and been deemed a healthy boy by his vet. We do have a picture of his mum and she looks like a Border Collie mix but we have no info on dad. Seeing as he comes from a community with lots of strays he no doubt has many different breeds in him and they could additionally include Shepherd, Black Lab and even Husky. We also have no idea on the size he’ll grow to be so the size we have in this post is just a guess. He really loves to socialize with people and run up to them with his tail just a wagging to greet them. MILKY BAR’s a curious and energetic little pup who loves to spend time outside playing in his fenced-in yard. When his playtime is over he’s all about the cuddles and he’ll happily curl up in your lap for some quality nap time. With his playful spirit and affectionate nature he’s ready to bring companionship and joy together in his forever home. MILKY BAR is crate trained and it took all of two nights to have him fully trained in one as he’s a very smart boy. He’ll sleep quietly in it at night but in the day he does like to sleep on his dog bed. He’s doing really well with his house training and is just starting to let you know that he has to go outside for a bathroom break. He’s only had short walks on his property so far and like all puppies, he will excited run ahead of you and want to pull you along with him. He’s walked while wearing a harness that’s attached to his collar for safety and to stop any pulling around his neck. Due to teething, he’s at a chewing stage and needs lots of chewy toys to satisfy that urge not to chew on anything that he shouldn’t. He really loves to chew on a Nyla bone to keep those little teeth busy too. He’s starting to learn a couple of basic commands already such as “sit” for his meals and treats and to take them “gentle.” MILK BAR’s ideal family would be an active one who loves the outdoors, going on hikes, walks and will take him on adventures with them. He really loves to go in a vehicle and will just snuggle into his blanket that’s in his crate and quietly enjoy being driven around. There’s not a dog or a cat in his foster home so if there’s either in his new home then they should be dog savvy and we always recommend a slow, monitored introduction be made between them while the puppy is on a leash for initial meetings. He needs a fenced-yard yard and children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be gentle, loving and caring towards animals. MILKY BAR, like all puppies is a cute, playful and fun puppy but he’ll also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. His adopter must be committed to take him to puppy/obedience training to help him become well socialized with other dogs and to become a good, well mannered puppy. His neuter is included in his adoption fee and his adopter must be in agreement to have his neuter performed by the time he’s 9 months of age or 60lbs (which ever comes first.) It will be at the Barrie SPCA but you can use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there. However his neuter will still have to be performed in the above timeframe for the reimbursement and we’ll need a copy of the procedure invoice and an updated photo of him (preferably in a 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 MILKY BAR sounds like he’d suit your home and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet him.
