🚨 DONATION NEEDED: MARTINGALE COLLARS 🚨

We’re currently in need of medium, large, and extra-large martingale collars for the dogs in our care.

Martingale collars are an important piece of safety equipment for many shelter dogs, especially dogs who may be nervous, strong on leash, or able to slip out of a standard flat collar. Having the right sizes available helps our team keep dogs safe during walks, training, vet appointments, foster transitions, and everyday handling.

We are specifically looking for:
• Medium martingale collars
• Large martingale collars
• Extra-large martingale collars

New collars are preferred so we can ensure they are secure and in good condition.

If you’re able to donate, we would be incredibly grateful. Every collar helps us safely care for another dog while they wait for their next chapter.

Thank you for continuing to support the animals at the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes! 🐾❤️

✨ IF PERFECTION HAD EARS, THEY WOULD LOOK LIKE SUKI’S ✨

Meet Suki, a five-year-old mixed-breed girl who arrived at HSKL as an unclaimed stray and has been winning everyone over ever since.

Honestly, she is about as close to the complete package as it gets.

Suki is friendly with every person she meets, walks beautifully on leash and generally ignores other dogs, even when they are barking at her. She enjoys greeting friendly dogs at the shelter and seems especially fond of the boys.

She has the perfect energy level: ready for walks, playtime and sudden bursts of very impressive zoomies, but equally happy to settle in for cuddles and couch time.

Suki’s list of qualifications includes:

👂 Best ears in town—possibly the entire province
💙 Friendly, affectionate and completely lovable
🦮 Excellent leash manners
🐕 Social and polite around friendly dogs
🏡 Keeps her kennel clean and does her business outside
🧠 Knows “sit” and “paw”
🎾 Loves running, playing and chasing toys
🛋️ Happily trades zoomies for cuddles when playtime is over
🚗 Rides well in the car when safely secured
😂 Occasionally tries to help drive if she isn’t buckled in
👋 Wants to be included in absolutely everything her people are doing

Suki sometimes needs a reminder to keep all four paws on the floor when she is excited, but she listens well. She enjoys treats—although she would like everyone to understand that treats are optional and affection is not.

🏡 SUKI’S IDEAL HOME

Suki would be a fantastic choice for a first-time dog owner or a family looking for an affectionate, well-rounded companion.

Her ideal home would include:

💙 People who want a dog involved in everyday family life
🐾 Daily walks, playtime and room for the occasional zoomie outbreak
🛋️ A comfortable couch and humans available for cuddling
🐕 A friendly, compatible dog may be a good match following a proper introduction
🐈 A cat-free home, as Suki becomes very interested when cats run and would likely chase
🚗 A seat-belt tether or secure crate for safe car rides
🧠 Continued positive reinforcement to polish her already lovely manners

Suki arrived as a stray, but she clearly knows how to be someone’s dog. She is loving, social, fun and ready to fit herself right into a family.

The only real mystery is how a dog this wonderful is still waiting.

Contact the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes to meet Suki, and prepare to fall in love with those ears. 💙

💙 MEET SHEP: 100% SWEETHEART, 0% UNDERSTANDING OF PERSONAL SPACE 💙

Shep is two years old, and his favourite place is wherever his person happens to be.

He is a big, affectionate boy who immediately leans his entire body into you for love. A quick pat will not do; Shep is looking for the full snuggle experience!

A few things we love about Shep:

💙 He is incredibly affectionate and people-focused
🍪 He takes treats very gently
🏡 He is relatively quiet and settled indoors
👋 He is friendly and eager to meet visitors when introduced properly
🧠 Responds well to redirection
🍽️ He has an excellent appetite, which makes training much easier
🦮 He enjoys getting out for walks
😂 He occasionally forgets how big he is and tries to become one with his person
🧸 Toys are fine—but people are much more interesting

Shep is young, smart and still learning the basics. He can jump, pull on leash and become overly enthusiastic when excited, but he is responsive and eager to engage. With consistency, positive reinforcement and someone willing to keep teaching him, he has so much potential.

🏡 SHEP’S IDEAL HOME

Shep would do best with:

🐾 Someone comfortable handling a strong, energetic dog
💙 A person who wants a loving, devoted companion
🧠 Continued work on basic obedience, leash manners and calm greetings
🏡 A predictable routine with clear, consistent boundaries
👋 Calm introductions when new people visit
🐕 A home where he can be the only dog

Shep has had very little appropriate socialization with other dogs, and being close to them can be overwhelming for him, particularly around male dogs.

He can also alert when unfamiliar people approach his space, especially men. When visitors are introduced to him properly, however, he has been friendly and excited to meet them.

Shep may still be learning his manners, but he already knows how to love with his whole heart and his whole body.

If you have been looking for an affectionate, goofy and loyal companion who will always be ready to lean in a little closer, contact the Humane Society of Kawartha Lakes to learn more about Shep.

Please share and help our lovable lean machine find his person. 💙
