Adopting
Adopting a pet is huge responsibility, this is a commitment to take care of another life for upwards of 18 years. Please make sure you are ready for this before filling out an adoption application.
Here at Puca’s Pack we work with each dog, for at least 3 weeks, before adopting them out. We take our time to find out their behaviour issues and do our best to revert those behaviours. Our certified Dog Psychology and Behaviour Modification specialist works with our dogs until we feel they are fit for a new home. Each dog gets daily exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of obedience training. We work on boundaries to insure the dogs have a good understanding of what is expected of them before they leave our home.
On the day of adoption, one of our team members will walk you through the basic training and commands we use with your new dog to insure you have the best chance for success. This day will consist of 1-6 hours (depends on the dog) of training methods used on your dog, success and failure stories, introducing the dog to your house and family, multiple structured walks, and much more. We will go our separate ways once everyone feels comfortable.
Puca’s Pack is committed to our dogs and encourage all adopters to stay in contact with us. We are here to help you work through training issues that may arise after adoption. We will do everything we can to help you and your furry friend live a happy life together.
Should the adoption not work out, we require, as per the signed Adoption Agreement, that the dog be returned Puca’s Pack. However, we do expect that anyone who adopts one of our animals is willing to work through any behaviour issues that arise (within reason). Our help and support is always available to you for the life of your dog.

A little bit about me:
Russell is a three-year-old owner surrender with a zest for life that’s impossible to ignore. Equal parts goofy, energetic, and lovable, Russell approaches every day like it’s the greatest adventure ever. He loves playing fetch, joining pack walks, and being wherever the action is. He’s always on the move, always curious, and always ready to make you laugh with his larger-than-life personality.
This silly boy is still polishing his manners and learning that slowing down can be a good thing. Sitting still isn’t exactly Russell’s specialty, he’d much rather stand on his back legs to get a better view of the world! The good news is that his bed training and crate training improves every day. He can still get vocal in his crate but he settles much faster with every passing day. He’s eager to learn when given consistency and encouragement. Russell is incredibly smart, but often plays dumb.
In our house Russell has earned the title “King of the Jungle” because he loves being up high and will happily climb fences, cat trees, tables, chairs, or any pile of rocks he can find. Because of this, he needs a secure home with a fenced yard at least six feet tall or careful management outdoors (tether). Russell enjoys having dog friends, though he can be vocal. He prefers dogs that respect his space and isn’t a fan of overly energetic puppy.
With the right home and plenty of adventure, Russell is going to be an unforgettable companion.
Name: Gunner -Adoption Pending
Age: 3 Years Old
Breed: Husky
Sex: Male - neutered
Vaccinated: Yes
Energy level: Medium
Crate Trained: Yes
Dogs: I love Dogs and children
Kids: Would do well with kids
Cats: Not tested
A little bit about me:
Gunner is a sweet Husky who is ready to find his forever home. While he may look like a tough, serious boy at first glance, Gunner is truly a soft soul who thrives on connection with his people. He’s quite the talker and loves to share his thoughts, making him the perfect companion for someone who enjoys a dog with personality and presence.
Gunner is incredibly smart and eager to learn, with a beautiful heel on leash and a strong foundation in his training. His recall could use some continued practice, but his natural attentiveness and thoughtful nature make him highly trainable. He has lived successfully with other dogs and understands how to exist peacefully in a multi-dog household. Like many Huskies, he can show a bit of stubbornness, but he responds very well to fair guidance and clear communication.
More than anything, Gunner is a loving, affectionate dog who bonds deeply with his person. He adores cuddles, physical touch, and especially a good brushing session (which is the quickest way to his heart). Gunner would thrive in a home that appreciates both his intelligence and his sensitive side, and that will continue to guide him as the incredible companion he is meant to be.

A little bit about me:
Meet Harry
Harry is a young Husky / Pitty mix originally from Heart Of The Underdog in Texas. Harry is a beautiful, curious soul who can’t hide his love for life. He thrives on adventure and approaches new obstacles with excitement. Pack walks, boat rides, forest adventures, new tricks, you name it Harry is all in.
That said, Harry is still learning one very important skill, how to relax.
Our biggest focus with him is teaching calm quiet energy and impulse control. He’s incredibly smart and eager to learn. He picks up commands quickly (though he needs reminders of what you are asking for), his challenge is staying in a command when his curiosity kicks in. We are actively working on this, and he makes progress every day.
Harry has joined many pack walks and can integrate into a pack quite well. He’s still learning appropriate dog-to-dog interactions, especially when he’s meeting new friends or when play is involved. When it’s time for fun, Harry goes full steam ahead and his husky voice comes out. Whether he’s chasing a ball, exploring the forest, or playing with another dog, his enthusiasm is unmatched and at times can be hard to contain.
At home, Harry is in his crate, learning to stay on his bed, or seeking affection and playtime. His favourite hobby is destroying stuffed animals (you’ve been warned… stuffies beware). He is a total goof, full of life and needing a home that up for a challenge.

Application.
Please keep in mind that there may be multiple applications for a single dog and that even if your phone interview and home check (due to Covid we are asking for a video tour of your property) are successful, there is no guarantee that you will be matched with the dog you have applied for.
