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:
A brave little guy who’s learning the world isn’t so scary.
Travi is a young boy (under 10 lbs) with a huge love for routine and adventure. He absolutely lights up when the leash comes out and has developed a beautiful heel. Walks are his happy place, and he thrives when he knows what’s expected of him.
Travi has been doing great exposure work — joining us in stores, navigating new environments, and learning to work through sudden loud noises. While he can appear nervous at first, he’s actually a very strong and resilient dog. When given the chance to walk past something a few times, he quickly realizes it’s not scary and relaxes right into it.
He is crate trained, knows his place command, and settles nicely in his bed at home. Travi looks to his handler for direction, which makes training clear and rewarding. He’s currently working on leash skills and calm indoor behaviors, setting him up for success in his future home.
Travi would do wonderfully with someone who enjoys routine, walks, and continuing confidence-building work. He’s scheduled for neuter next week and will be ready for adoption shortly after. If you think Travi might be your guy, we’d love to hear from you.

A little bit about me:
Buddy is a 5-year-old Great Pyrenees who’s as handsome as he is loyal. He’s searching for a forever family who can give him the space, structure, and love he deserves.
About Buddy
Age: 5 years old Breed: Great Pyrenees Neutered: Yes Vaccinations: Will be updated before adoption Health: Allergic to chicken, currently on salmon/sweet potato kibble plus homemade beef/oats/carrots. Regular monthly grooming keeps him healthy and mat-free.
Personality & Behavior
•Good with other dogs on neutral ground (can be territorial at home). •Great with cats, horses and birds •Loves kids, though he’s still learning his size •Super friendly with strangers •Has barked and defended his territory against wildlife (bears, coyotes, etc.). •Had one incident with a neighbour’s dog ( unfortunately Buddy won’t back down if challenged)
Training & Habits
•House-trained •Never crate-trained •Good on a leash, but terrible recall (will go on his own adventure is off-leash) •Needs a fully fenced yard (he’s an escape artist!) •Loves soccer balls, car rides, and lounging with his people •Has recently been doing well inside the house with no destruction
Why He’s Looking for a Home
Buddy was left behind after a family divorce. For the past couple of years, he’s lived mostly in a barn compound with indoor/outdoor access, but his current guardians (in their 70s) find him too big and strong to manage long-term. They love him dearly, but know he needs a family who can meet his needs.
Ideal Home for Buddy:
•A fully fenced yard •A family with older kids or adults only (he’s big and bouncy) •Semi-active lifestyle, he needs space, companionship, and a safe yard •Someone who appreciates the loyal, guardian nature of the Great Pyrenees
Buddy is a happy-go-lucky, affectionate dog who simply needs a better fit. He’s been deeply loved, and now it’s time to find him the forever home where he can truly belong.
Please share, like and comment on our post so we can get as much exposure for this beautiful boy as possible. We’d love to find him a loving home that can give him the life he needs as soon as possible.
3 free trailing sessions and any ongoing support needed will be given to his next home.

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. We can always keep your application open for a future dog, if you are not accepted the first time. It can be a difficult decision for us, that we don’t take lightly.
