How to Adopt

Missy  is  currently being fostered in Texas. 

🐾 Meet Missy — A Gentle Soul Looking for Her Final Forever

Missy is approximately 8–12 years old and weighs 9 pounds. She’s undeniably a rescue dog—with a past that’s written all over her expressive little face and quirky demeanor. She’s a bit of a “hot mess,” but in the most endearing way.

Missy is what we lovingly call a “cat dog.” She’s skittish and slow to trust, preferring to sit quietly beside you, follow you around, and be involved in your day. She’s not a cuddler, and doesn’t enjoy being picked up, and change stresses her out. But give her time, and she’ll warm up in her own quiet, feline-esque fashion.

She’s great with other dogs, cats, and calm children. We recommend middle school-age kids or older, or very dog-savvy families, due to her delicate nature and sensitivity.

Missy recently underwent a full dental, leaving her with only a few front teeth. She also has an enlarged heart and a grade 3 heart murmur, so we are listing her as a hospice adoption. Her adoption fee has been reduced and will be discussed with approved adopters.

Her story is one of heartbreak and resilience. Missy was found tied up as a stray, no tags or microchip. She was spayed, suggesting she once had someone who cared—but after being kept temporarily by her finder, she was ultimately placed into foster care. She grew attached, but wasn’t kept.

Despite her medical needs and anxiety, Missy is doing well in foster care. She pants a lot in unfamiliar situations, but this calms with time and patience. And once she decompresses, she’s still very much a cat dog—just a less anxious version of herself.

What she needs now is a home filled with kindness, softness, and the love she’s always deserved. A place where she can spend her final years with someone who truly chooses her. We believe she’s never known what that really feels like.

🌸 Missy might not be perfect—but she’s perfectly worthy of love. Will you be her forever?🐾❤️

BURRITO  is  currently being fostered in Texas. 

🌯 Meet Burrito – Our Sweet Little Survivor

Oh gosh… Burrito! This adorable boy was rescued from a high-kill shelter and has stolen our hearts ever since. At approximately 3 years old and 9.6 pounds, Burrito is the sweetest little companion you could ever hope to meet.

💔 A Tough Start, A Strong Spirit   Burrito is heartworm positive, and while we typically complete full treatment before adoption, Burrito had a severe reaction to his first injection—we truly thought we were going to lose him. Because of this, he will continue with the “slow kill” method, meaning he must stay on Heartgard or another monthly heartworm prevention for the rest of his life. He may eventually test negative, but this can take years. It’s not ideal, but it’s the safest path for him.

🐾 Gentle, Loving, and Ready for a Family   Burrito is great with cats, dogs, and kids. He’s a little shy when meeting new people—he may cower, hide, or tuck his tail—but with a gentle voice and a few treats, he’ll be in your lap in no time, dancing and being his silly self. He’s a soft soul who just wants love.

🚽 Potty Manners   He’s doing well with potty training, though he did mark a bit when he first arrived. Occasionally, he may still pee on something, but it’s not constant. A belly band during the first few weeks in a new home can help him adjust.

Burrito has been with us for a few months now, and we absolutely adore him. It’s time for this little guy to find his happily ever after because every Burrito deserves to be wrapped in love.  💫🐾❤️

DIABLO,  TINY TOM AND LADY  are currently being fostered in Texas. 

  🐾 Meet the Seniors 🐾

Three tiny treasures, each with a heart full of love and a story waiting for its next chapter. 

Please note: These dogs are not bonded and will be adopted separately.

🦊 Meet Domingo - The charming gentleman with a heart of gold and a soft spot for senior ladies. 

Our little silver fox is 10–12 years young and a dainty 6.3 pounds of pure charm. Domingo is a gentle, loving soul who adores other dogs—especially the senior ladies. He’s quite the Romeo, following them around, offering kisses and baths like a true gentleman. Domingo walks beautifully on leash, has good potty manners, and is quiet as a whisper. He recently had a dental and lost many teeth, but now he’s fresh, clean, and oh-so-kissable. 

Domingo is ready to sweep you off your feet—one gentle kiss at a time. 

🤪 Meet Tiny Tim - The quirky little bean with a gummy grin and a heart full of sweetness.

💫🐾❤️ADOPTED 💫🐾❤️

👑 Meet Lady - A quiet soul learning to trust again, with eyes that follow you like a shadow. 

Lady is a 10-year-old, short and chunky sweetheart, weighing in at 10 pounds. She’s still adjusting to life without her family, and while her siblings have found homes, Lady needs a little more time and tenderness. She’s never aggressive—just scared. She won’t run up to strangers, but she quietly follows her person, watching and waiting for love. With a week of patience, she’ll start seeking affection. Lady does well with other dogs and children, and she thrives in a quiet home with routine and stability. A fenced yard or safe potty area is ideal while she builds confidence. 

Lady is a quiet shadow with a heart full of love—waiting to bloom. 

💛 Why Adopt a Senior?

Senior dogs are seasoned companions. They’re grateful, gentle, and often already trained. They don’t ask for much—just a warm bed, a kind heart, and someone to love them through their golden years. Adopting a senior means giving the gift of peace, comfort, and dignity. And in return? You get unwavering devotion and the kind of love that only comes with time.

Adopt a senior. You won’t be sorry—you’ll be changed forever. 💫🐾❤️

ELLANA  is  currently being fostered in Burlington, 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. 💫🐾❤️

LUNA  is  currently being fostered in Guelph. 

🐾  Meet Luna - a Princess in the making

This 10-month-old Toy Russian Terrier (8.5 lbs) is a stunning little heart-stealer with long dainty legs, fluffy ears, and a brindle coat that shimmers auburn in the sun. 

Luna lives for love and attention. She's affectionate, cuddly, and adores people of all ages — truly a social butterfly who wants to be the center of your world. But don’t let her petite frame fool you — Luna needs an experienced and confident dog owner to help guide her as she matures. She walks beautifully on leash most of the time, but has a high prey drive and can be reactive to other dogs. A calm, steady handler is key, and ongoing obedience training is strongly recommended to help her build confidence and address her dog-directed reactivity.

Luna has shown some aggressive behavior toward other dogs and would do best as the only pet in the home. With time and very slow, careful introductions, she might coexist with a small, calm dog — but right now, she thrives being the star of the show.

She’s still working on house training, so consistency and frequent walks will help her stay on track.

Luna is looking for a patient, loving person who can provide the structure, guidance, and training she needs to shine. In return, you’ll get a fiercely loyal, people-loving companion who’s eager to bond.

Think you might be Luna’s perfect match? She’s ready to meet you!🐾❤️

MOREL  is  currently being fostered in Toronto. 

🐾 Meet Morel ✨   Tall, slim, and blonde 

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.🐾❤️

🐾Sparkles and Yoda, the ultimate dream team, are ready to bring joy and endless love into a forever home! 

Yoda and Sparkles are two inseparable companions share an unbreakable bond, making them the perfect duo for someone seeking double the love.

Yoda is a true inspiration—an 8-9 year-old Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix weighing 12 lbs. Despite being a tripod and having some cataract cloudiness, Yoda’s spirit shines brightly. Her gentle and affectionate nature warms the hearts of everyone she meets. Yoda loves spending time with her sister Sparkles, and her calm, sweet demeanor makes her a perfect fit for a household with cats or dogs. With a little patience, Yoda will blossom into the most loving companion you could ever ask for.

Sparkles, an 8-year-old, 12 lb bundle of energy and charm, is a joy to have around. She’s made amazing progress with potty training, gets along well with other animals and children, and adores her humans. Sparkles’ playful personality will keep you laughing—just be ready for her extra excitement during playtime as she might nip! She’s working through separation anxiety, but with the right loving owner, Sparkles will flourish and grow more confident.

This adorable duo is looking for a forever home with a securely fenced yard to safely play and explore together. Sparkles and Yoda’s ideal family will provide them with patience, love, and the chance to thrive side by side.

LYLA  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

 Meet Lyla: A Loving and Well-Mannered Companion Seeking Her Forever Home 🐾❤️

Lyla is approximately 2 ½ years old and weighs 11 pounds.  She was adopted from a high-kill shelter in Pasadena, Texas, but was sadly owner-surrendered only five months later. Despite this, Lyla remains a good dog with many wonderful traits. 

She walks well on leash 🚶‍♀️, has excellent potty manners 🚽, and is very good with people, children, and other adult dogs. Lyla experienced some anxiety on her first day in a new environment , but quickly settled in and acclimated within a day or two. She LOVES attention 💕 and thrives on affection. Lyla has a prey drive, so she is not suitable for homes with very small or fluffy puppies, cats, kittens, or small squirrely animals 

She needs to live with other adult dogs 7 pounds or heavier or as an only dog.  She is not dog aggressive and currently lives peacefully with several other dogs. 

Lyla has a mild luxating patella in her rear left limb, but this doesn’t affect her cheerful disposition or well-mannered behavior. She is smart and would benefit from basic training  and tasks to keep her engaged.

What Lyla needs most is a stable, loving home with a routine, people to love her, and a chance to flourish . She’s been given up on too many times already—now is the time for her forever family. 🌟

Lyla isn’t just looking for a home—she’s looking for a family to cherish her for life. 💖🐾

OLIVE is  currently being fostered in Trenton, ON

🐾 Meet Olive — a quirky little lovebug with charm, peach fuzz, and a heart of gold 🍑💛

Olive might be a chiweenie, but there’s something uniquely magical about her. With her spotty skin, light peach fuzz, and almost-naked little face, she may just have a splash of Chinese Crested in her heritage. Her sibling Ginger shares the same whimsical features — making them a striking duo!

At 10 months to 1 year old and weighing 11.5 lbs, Olive is fully grown and sitting at that perfect age: no longer a rambunctious pup, but still full of youthful energy. She’s active and playful, but also adores a good cuddle — the ideal balance of goofy fun and sweet snuggles.

She might seem a little shy at first, but give her a moment and her silly side will shine through, bringing smiles to everyone around. Olive has an awesome demeanor, easily fitting into homes with other animals, kids, and anyone who appreciates a well-mannered, happy-hearted dog.

She’s social, gentle, and just a little weird in the most lovable way — a dog with personality to spare and plenty of love to share.

Olive’s got peach fuzz, puppy charm, and a goofy little grin — she’s ready to light up your life.💫🐾

GINGER is  currently being fostered in Hamilton, ON

🐾Meet Ginger – Spotted, Snuggly, and Just a Bit Magical   

At only 9.5 lbs and around 10 months to 1 year old, Ginger is fully grown and bursting with charm. Her nearly bare face adorned with peach fuzz, striking skin spots, and standout ears suggest she might be part chiweenie with a splash of Chinese crested. She's social, gentle, and full of silly personality — the kind of dog who can make anyone smile. Ginger does well with kids, other pets, and warms up quickly after a touch of shyness.

And if you think Ginger’s fabulous, wait till you meet her sister Olive — they share the same whimsical good looks and affectionate nature. Double the peach fuzz, double the heart-melting moments. 💛

🌟Ginger’s got the fuzz, the flair, and the fabulousness — adopt joy with ears and attitude!💫🐾

PITA  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

Meet Pita: A Twirling, Cuddly Ray of Sunshine Ready for Her Forever Home 🐾💖

Pita is approximately 2 years old and weighs 9.5 pounds. She’s a delightful mix of silly, playful, and cuddly, with a personality that will steal your heart. Though she may play shy at first, it only takes a few minutes before she’s twirling, dancing, and showing off her charm.

Pita adores attention, loves being doted on, and thrives in the company of her doggie friends—she’d do best in a home with another dog to keep her company. She’s also great with cats and kids, making her a perfect addition to a loving family.

While she’s still learning the ropes of leash and harness life 😂, she’s smart and will catch on quickly. A fenced yard would be ideal to help her feel secure as she blossoms.

Pita’s not just a pet—she’s your future best friend, dance partner, and cuddle buddy for life. 💃🐶💕

CULLUM is  currently being fostered in London, ON.

🐾 Meet Cullum – A Gentle Spirit Ready to Bloom 🌱

Cullum is approximately 1.5–2 years old and weighs 8.3 pounds. He’s tall, slender, and full of quiet charm. A shy, skittish, but sweet boy, Cullum is still learning how to trust and enjoy life—but he’s making progress every day.

💖 Cullum has no mean bone in his body. He’s good with other dogs, happy, loving, and playful, though still learning how to “dog.” It would be very beneficial for him to have a social dog in the home to help guide and comfort him.

🦴 He doesn’t come when called—you’ll need to approach him gently with baby talk to pick him up. He’s not terrible on leash and harness, but still needs some work and extra security when walking.

 Cullum is a bit of a flight risk, especially in his first few days in a new home. He must be extremely secure on leash and harness, and caution is needed around open doors and during walks.

🌟 The beautiful part? Cullum blossoms more every day. With love, time, and patience, he’ll become a regular lap pup, giving kisses, walking like a prince, and looking dapper in his autumn sweater.

He doesn’t need perfection—he just needs you. That special human who will offer him a stable, loving life and help him grow into the confident companion he’s meant to be.

Let’s help Cullum find the love and safety he deserves 🐶💕✨🐾❤️

ZAHIR is  currently being fostered in London, ON.

👑 Meet Zahir – Prince Charming in Disguise 🐾

Zahir is approximately 3 years old and weighs just 7.5 pounds—a little cutie patootie with a big heart and a shy streak. He may not nail first impressions (think barking, growling, and running away), but give him a day and he’ll be crawling up your legs for cuddles and love. 💕

This sweet boy is:

• 🐶 Gentle, loving, and low-key – a lap dog through and through
• 🧸 Not high energy – prefers short bursts of play followed by long naps
• 🐾 Great with people once he warms up – and he warms up fast
• 🦴 Not aggressive at all – even did amazing at the vet!

Zahir isn’t 100% confident on leash and harness just yet, so extra caution is needed in the first few days. A fenced-in yard and secure gear are a must while he adjusts. He may bark or growl when frightened, but it’s all bark and no bite—he just needs time to feel safe.

Once he knows you, Zahir becomes completely obsessed—in the best way. He’s a cuddler, a charmer, and a total heart-stealer. With patience and love, he’ll be your loyal little shadow.

✨ Give Zahir the fairy tale ending he deserves—your love story starts here. 🏡💖🐾❤️

EZRA is  currently being fostered in Texas.

🐾 Meet Ezra – A Tender Soul Looking for Safety and Love 💙

Ezra is approximately 1.5–2 years old and weighs 8.5 pounds. He’s a shy, skittish, but incredibly sweet boy who’s still learning how to trust and enjoy the world around him.

💖 Ezra has no mean bone in his body. He’s good with other dogs, sweet-natured, loving, and playful—but he’s also very skittish and still learning how to “dog.” He would greatly benefit from having a social dog in the home to help guide and comfort him.

🚶‍♂️ Ezra is terrified of walking on leash and harness, and will need patience and gentle training in this area. He doesn’t come when called—you’ll need to approach him slowly with baby talk to pick him up.

🏡 Ezra needs a fenced yard for now until he becomes more confident with leash walking. Extra caution is needed during walks and around doors, especially in his first few days in a new home, as he is a flight risk.

🌱 The good news? Ezra blossoms more every day. With love, time, and patience, he’ll become a regular lap pup, giving kisses, walking like a prince, and rocking his autumn sweater with pride.

Ezra doesn’t need perfection—he just needs you. That special human who will offer him a stable, loving home and help him grow into the confident, cuddly companion he’s meant to be.

Let’s help Ezra find the safety and love he’s been waiting for 🐶💕🏡💖🐾❤️

AUDREY  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

Despite being deaf and blind in one eye, Audrey navigates life with charm, curiosity, and a whole lot of sass. She’s got a head tilt, a silly streak, and a love for doggy friends that’s absolutely contagious.

LOLA  is  currently being fostered in Texas.

Meet Lola (aka Yola 🙃): A Gentle and Sweet Soul Ready for Her Forever Home 🐾❤️

Lola is approximately 4 years young, tall, and weighs 15 pounds. She came to us from a shelter about four hours away, where she spent five long months confined to a cage — day and night, with no bedding, blankets, or toys. Despite her gentle nature, no one chose her. When the shelter reached out asking for help, we knew we had to say yes.

Lola is gentle, sweet, and quiet, with good potty manners and walks nicely on leash and harness. She can be a bit scared at first in new places, but she quickly warms up.

She gets along well with other animals, though she can sometimes be a little dominant with newcomers, giving a friendly “boss lady” posture or raising her hackles — but it’s all bark and no bite. Interestingly, when she first arrived as the “new girl,” she was very submissive, shy, and belly-up! 😂 Now, it seems she likes to protect her fur friends in her own confident way.

Currently living harmoniously with several dogs at the rescue, Lola is an overall fantastic dog, and she’s more than ready to finally have a loving place to call home — a family to cherish her the way she deserves.

 Lola’s story is one of patience, love, and a heart ready to bloom — she just needs a forever family to complete her journey. 🌟🐶💕
