Makwa's Story

AGE: 2 months<br/><br/>SEX: Female<br/><br/>BREED: Northern Mix<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL: Medium-High<br/><br/>DOG FRIENDLY: Yep!<br/><br/>CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!<br/><br/>KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!<br/><br/>FOSTER IG: @makwa_germanshepherdmix<br/><br/>Meet Makwa! This confident, sassy puppy is full of personality and always ready for her next adventure. Curious by nature, Makwa loves exploring the world around her and approaches life with enthusiasm. She's currently in the fun (and busy!) teething stage, so she's always looking for something to chew - whether it's a toy or anything else she can find. Makwa enjoys running, is learning to play fetch, and is already impressing her foster family with her ability to catch treats in mid-air. While she wasn't much of a cuddler at first, she's grown more comfortable with affection and now enjoys seeking out attention from her people. Like many puppies, she's highly food motivated and is always excited to earn a tasty reward.<br/><br/>Makwa is friendly and social with people and enjoys meeting new faces. She greeted the neighbours in a playful, friendly manner and has shown herself to be a confident, outgoing puppy. Given her young age, she would likely adapt well to a home with cats, dogs, and children. She currently lives in a moderately busy suburban neighbourhood and takes everyday sounds in stride, making her a great candidate for life in a busier environment as well. She is crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night. She's making great progress with her potty training, already using pee pads consistently and even letting her foster know when she needs to head outside. She's also learning important puppy skills like sit and stay and is beginning to work on shake. Makwa loves being close to her people and will often follow them from room to room before settling nearby to keep them in sight.<br/><br/>Like any young puppy, Makwa is still learning about the world and will benefit from continued guidance and training. On walks, she's very curious and enjoys exploring, though she'll happily investigate grass, dirt, pinecones, and just about anything else she finds along the way. She can become very excited when she sees other dogs and may bark or pull on leash because she wants to go say hello, so continued positive training will help her learn calm greetings and that she can't meet every dog she sees. She also has a prey drive toward small animals and may try to chase them if given the chance. Makwa is a vocal puppy who isn't shy about letting you know when she's hungry, needs to go outside, or wants attention, though she settles nicely after a few minutes when left in her crate. She is also learning to feel comfortable spending time alone and continues to make steady progress. Makwa has shown resource guarding around her food bowl, so her adoptive family should be prepared to continue managing and working on this behaviour. With consistency, structure, and lots of opportunities to learn, Makwa is sure to grow into a wonderful companion full of love, personality, and adventure.<br/><br/>Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Makwa?

New Collar Collective's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Complete and submit an adoption application. All applications will be screened, and applicants will receive an email response letting you know whether your application has been approved to move to the next step in our process or not. If you have not received a response from us, first check your spam/junk folder before sending us an email. 2. You will be asked to submit two personal references, and a vet reference where applicable, as part of our process. Please make sure to let them know that they may be contacted by one of our volunteers. Veterinarian clinics will require your permission to share any information with our team. 3. A phone interview will be scheduled with one of our adoption coordinators via email or phone. 4. Your adoption coordinator will connect with one of our volunteers to schedule a home visit. Home visits will be completed virtually or in-person depending on available resources. If a virtual home visit is completed and there are any outstanding questions or concerns, New Collar Collective reserves the right to do a follow up (in person) home visit. Volunteers conducting virtual home visits will be required to direct the home visit so we are assured they have seen all areas of the home. Volunteers conducting in-person home visits will be encouraged to bring a friend along for their safety. In this case, you will be notified in advance. 5. A meet & greet will be coordinated with the animal’s foster. All members of the household (including dogs) will be required to attend the meet and greet. 6. Post meet & greet If there are no further questions or concerns, applicants will contact their adoption’s coordinator to let them know if they would like to move forward with the adoption. Adopters will be contacted to provide all contract requirements. ADOPTION POLICIES The policies outlined below are guidelines and there may be instances where an exception can be made upon the agreement of the adoption management/Board of Directors. Periodically, New Collar Collective will revisit these guidance policies to ensure they still meet the intended needs of the rescue. We do not adopt to applicants who live outside of our adoption radius. We do not ship dogs. Adopters are responsible for picking up their newly adopted pet. All pets in your household must be spayed and neutered. All pets in your household must be up to date with mandatory vaccinations. We do not allow applicants to test out a cat/dog before adoption. We expect that applicants will take the necessary time to meet with the dog or cat, talk with the foster, and ask lots of questions. Our rescues have already been through so much, we feel it is in their best interest that trials do not occur. *Exception for Foster-to-Adopt applicants All members of the household must be present during the Home Visit and the Meet and Greet. We do not adopt to families with children under the age of 4. The full adoption fee is due at the time of adoption. We do not offer payment plans.
