How to Adopt

MOREL  is  currently being fostered in Toronto. 

🐾 Meet Morel ✨   Tall, slim, and blonde 

Morel has been in foster care for a full year—and today, she stands as the last of the 17 dogs rescued after being abandoned at the side of a rural road. Her transformation is nothing short of extraordinary.

From feral and frightened to curious, resilient, and ready for love, Morel has come so far. 💛

Take a moment to watch this video and witness her journey. It’s a beautiful reminder of why we rescue—and why every dog deserves a second chance.

📹 Facebook  - Come and see how I've changed! 

Morel is a stunning 10 lb girl, around 3–4 years old, rescued from a group of 17 dogs in rural Ontario. She’s full of quiet resilience and is now ready to find a patient, loving forever home where she can continue to grow and thrive.

A Spirit for the Outdoors 🌿   Morel loves to run and explore and feels most at ease surrounded by nature. She’s still cautious in new environments and gravitates toward women and calm, confident female dogs. She currently lives with two male dogs whom she mostly ignores. However, she’s not comfortable around small dogs or puppies and can be reactive toward them.

Personality in Progress 💛   Not quite a lap dog (yet), Morel is learning to trust at her own pace. Independent and spirited, she’ll flourish with someone who respects her space and celebrates her growth.

Medical & Care Notes 🩺

• Diagnosed with GERD — needs poultry-free food + daily OTC meds
• Should be fed separately as she learns to share
• Healed leg injury — joint support is helpful but she remains active
• Best suited for a home with minimal stairs

Training & Habits 🚗🐾   Morel is great in the car and usually naps during rides. She’s making steady progress with leash walking and potty training, especially with regular breaks or pad access. Crate training is slow — wire crates are a no-go due to past trauma, but she’s warming to large plastic or wooden ones. She has a strong bark when she’s excited or uncertain, though it took four months to hear her first bark — she’s still learning her voice.

What She Needs 🛏️   Morel is looking for a patient, dog-savvy person or family who understands her boundaries, sees her unique spirit, and is willing to earn her trust. She’s endured so much — and yet she continues to open her heart.

Morel has been  Rescued once. Ready to rise again — with you by her side.🐾❤️

ELLANA  is  currently being fostered in Maple, ON. 

🐾 Meet Ellana – Our Waddling Wonder with a Snaggle-Tooth Smile

Ellana is approximately 5–6 years young and weighs 12.5 pounds. She’s a quirky, lovable Pomchi with a snaggle tooth, a soft coat, and a waddle that’ll melt your heart. Her personality is a delightful mix of silly, sweet, and a little bit spicy—she keeps us laughing every day.

🔥 A Survivor’s Story   Ellana was rescued from ACS after landing on the euthanasia list. Before that, she survived a hoarding situation where the home caught fire, and animal control intervened. She’s been through a lot, but she’s come out the other side with resilience and heart.

🩺 Medical Notes   Ellana had a large cancerous mammary mass removed, and she’s doing well post-surgery. She also has a rare little “tick”—occasionally, she makes a fish-like mouth movement. It’s infrequent, doesn’t bother her, and may be neurological or stress-related. The vet saw no cause for concern.

👀 Personality & Behavior   Ellana takes a day or two to warm up to new people. She may bark or give the side-eye, but she’s not aggressive. If cornered, she might nip, so we’re looking for a home without children. Once she feels safe, she’s incredibly affectionate—by lunchtime, she’ll likely be in your lap.

🐶 Social Butterfly with Boundaries   She gets along well with cats and dogs, though she’s a bit of a “mama bear.” She’ll break up rough play, set boundaries, and let everyone know when it’s nap time. She’s confident, playful, and loves her furry friends—but she’s also the boss.

🛁 Care & Handling   Ellana does great at the vet, and she’s fine with baths and nail trims. She’s protective of her people around strangers but warms up quickly once she knows they’re safe.

🏡 Ready for Her Real Home   Ellana is soft, attentive, and truly listens when you talk to her. She deserves a home where she can be understood, loved, and appreciated for the unique gem she is.

Ellana needs a family because every mama bear deserves a place to rest her heart. 💫🐾❤️

SOPHIA  is  currently being fostered in Texas

 🛏️Meet  Sophia: A Gentle Soul Ready to Bloom She’s quiet, cuddly, and waiting for someone to show her the world is safe.

Sophia is approximately 2–4 years old and weighs 8.3 lbs. She’s a shy, timid, and demure little girl who adores blankets, cozy beds, and long naps. Her calm nature makes her a perfect companion for someone seeking a peaceful, loving presence.

Sophia is good with cats, dogs, and well-mannered older children. While she’d likely be fine with children, she wouldn’t enjoy living full-time with younger kids or hyper dogs. She’s low-key and mellow, happiest in a quiet, stable environment.

When she first arrived, Sophia was skittish and unsure, but she’s truly come out of her shell. With a little time and patience, she becomes a devoted cuddle bug who just wants to be close to her person.

Sophia came from a difficult hoarding situation, and while she still needs a bit of socialization and confidence-building, her gentle, loving spirit shines through. She’s ready for a fresh start and a family who will cherish her.

🌟 Sophia: Let her be your quiet comfort and constant companion.

LOLO  is  currently being fostered in Toronto, ON.

💌 Meet LoLo! 🐾   A sassy senior

At 12 years young and a slender 10 pounds, LoLo still has plenty of pep in her step — and even more love to give! She adores her daily walks, cozy naps, and cuddles on the couch.

LoLo came into rescue as an owner surrender in Texas. Though she was described as shy at first, she’s blossomed in her foster home, revealing a gentle, affectionate personality that charms everyone she meets.

This quiet little lady gets along beautifully with calm dogs, cats, and people alike. She’s been an absolute dream to care for — easygoing, sweet, and full of love. LoLo greets her humans with soft kisses and happy tail wags every time they come home.

Recently, LoLo recovered from surgery after eating something she shouldn’t, so her forever family will need to keep their home “puppy-proof.” Her foster finds she only chews on things she shouldn’t when left alone, so a crate while away is highly recommended.

LoLo would be the perfect companion for someone looking to share life’s simple joys with a calm, loving friend who just wants to be by your side.

JOY  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

 🐾 Meet Joy – A Little Dog with a Big Heart   

📍 10 months old | 21 lbs | Chi/Pug mix (best guess) 

💛 Looking for an experienced adopter or foster familiar with special needs dogs

Joy is a short, sturdy little gal with a big heart and an even bigger need for a special someone. She was born with hydrocephalus, and while her case is fairly severe, she’s defied the odds with her gentle spirit and loving nature.

She’s incredibly quiet—never makes a peep—and absolutely adores people and affection. Joy gets along well with other dogs, rides nicely in the car, and is even learning to use the doggy door (she’s about 50% there!). Like many hydro pups, she’s a slow learner, but she’s making steady progress every day.

Joy doesn’t spin in circles or have seizures, and aside from some depth perception challenges typical of neuro dogs, she has no major neurological issues. She’s sweet, silly, and full of potential for the right person who can offer her the patience and love she deserves.

We’re looking for a special needs adopter or foster—ideally someone who has experience with hydro dogs and understands their unique care. Joy is truly a wonderful dog who will bring so much love and light into your life.

✨ Joy: a gentle soul with a silly streak, ready to bring sunshine to a special someone’s world.

PRUE  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

🐾 Meet Prue – A Shy Sweetheart Ready to Shine   

📍 Approx. 5–8 months old | 7 lbs | Chi/Rat Terrier mix 🎯 Estimated adult weight: 15–20 lbs

Prue and her sisters were rescued from a local shelter after being confiscated from a property with several small dogs—mostly Chihuahuas and Rat Terriers ranging from 10 to 25 pounds. These girls hadn’t lived in a home before and arrived very shy, unsure of people and their new surroundings.

But every day, Prue is blossoming. She’s quickly becoming a happy, wiggly pup who’s learning to trust, explore, and enjoy affection. She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body—just a little nervousness as she adjusts to the world. Despite her initial hesitation, she craves love and attention and responds beautifully to gentle care.

Prue is incredibly sweet and has the potential to be an amazing companion. She’ll need basic puppy training, potty training, and lots of patience and love to help her thrive.

✨ Prue: a gentle soul learning to love life, one tail wag at a time.

MARCO  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

🐾 Meet Marco – A Gentle Soul with a Unique Smile  

📍 Approx. 5–8 months old | 17 lbs | Purebred Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) 🎯 Estimated adult weight: 40–50 lbs

Marco is a stunning young Blue Heeler with a heart as beautiful as his unique face. Born with a bilateral cleft lip, Marco may look a little different, but this birth defect doesn’t slow him down one bit. He eats just like any other dog—he just needs a little extra dental care to keep food and debris from getting stuck in that area. It’s important to note this is not a cleft palate, and he can enjoy all types of food without issue.

Despite his tough start, Marco is a gentle, timid boy who’s still learning to trust the world. He’s under-socialized and gets nervous around new people, dogs, and places. He may even pee a little when scared—but with time, patience, and love, we believe this will fade as his confidence grows.

Marco needs a committed adopter who’s ready to help him blossom. Someone kind, patient, and willing to guide him through basic puppy training and gentle socialization. He’s not a bold adventurer yet, but he’s a quiet, sweet soul who wants to feel safe and loved.

✨ Marco: a nervous nelly with a heart of gold, waiting for someone to see past the shy and love him for the gem he truly is.

LULU TUTU WATERMELON is  currently being fostered in Texas.

Meet Lulu TuTu Watermelon — a resilient mama with a heart full of love and a name full of joy ❤️

Lulu TuTu Watermelon has quite the rescue story! She came to us from our local shelter extremely pregnant, and thankfully we were able to rescue her just in time. Less than two weeks later, Lulu went into labor and had a very difficult delivery. She was rushed to an emergency clinic, where it was determined she needed a C-section. She gave birth to seven large puppies — sadly, one was lost during delivery and another passed shortly after. She is now weening five healthy, chunky babies and will be ready for transport to Canada by November 20th.

Now it’s Lulu’s turn to be the baby. She’s barely 2 years old, currently weighs 11 pounds, and will likely settle around 10 pounds once she sheds her baby weight. Lulu is an all-around fantastic dog — she’s not barky, walks beautifully on a leash, and is great with other animals and kids. She’s sweet, well-rounded, and a joy to be around. Sometimes she’s playful and silly, but most of the time she’s a giant cuddle bug.

This girl has been through a lot, and she’s more than ready for her happily ever after.

Lulu TuTu Watermelon: From mama to snugglebug — her next chapter starts with you.

DILLEY  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

🐾 Meet Dilley – Your Velcro Cuddle Bug!

 Dilley is an 8‑year‑young, 8lb chihuahua with a heart as big as his ears. This little gentleman is the definition of a doll baby—you truly couldn’t ask for a better dog. 

✨ Why you’ll love him:

• Great potty manners and walks well on leash
• Not barky — quiet and easygoing
• Gets along with other animals, people, and well‑mannered children
• 110% cuddle bug who thrives on attention and companionship
• Velcro dog who loves to follow his humans everywhere

💖 Personality:   Dilley is a super low‑key boy who simply loves being with his people. He doesn’t have separation anxiety, but he does adore cuddles, being held, and staying close.

📖 Backstory:   Rescued from a local shelter, Dilley was already neutered but had no collar or chip. No one came to reclaim him, but it’s clear he was once well loved — his gentle, social nature says it all.

💖Dilley is ready for his second chance with a family who will adore him like the baby boy he is.

AMELIA  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

🐾  🐾 Meet Amalia, a 6–8 month old mix of pure cuteness who currently weighs about 12 lbs and will likely grow into a medium‑sized girl of 30–35 lbs. 

Rescued from our local shelter during a cold snap, Amalia’s start was heartbreaking—the shelter had no heat, no beds, and no blankets, and because it was overcrowded she was placed in a tiny kennel in the aisle. Surrounded by barking big dogs, she curled up into a little ball on bare plastic, too scared to even look up. But once she came to the ranch, everything changed: after a warm bath and a cozy bed in a heated kennel run, Amalia blossomed instantly—tail wagging, giant smile, pure joy.

Since then, she’s played, eaten to her heart’s content, and slept like a bear in hibernation.

✨ Her Personality:

• Soulful eyes full of stories, even at her young age
• Playful and sweet, sometimes confident, sometimes shy
• Loves food, toys, and baby talk (she wiggles adorably when she realizes you’re talking to her!)
• Social and affectionate, ready to be someone’s beloved family member

🏡 Amalia deserves a family who will give her daily cuddles, clean blankies, food, and love—all the things she missed out on before. She’s ready to be cherished as the amazing girl she is. ❤️
