Ray (a 75lb German Shepherd X) was reported as a stray and subsequently picked up by the Oakville & Milton Humane Society. He had no collar; no identification, and a scan did not locate a microchip. There were no reports of a missing dog that matched his description and he was never claimed. He was afraid of everybody and everything; did not want to be touched; lunged and barked without warning and, after almost 4 months of  TLC was put up for adoption. I only had experience of budgerigars, cats and rabbits but Ray adopted me anyway!
