Paws & Hearts: Sweet Pups Ready for Adoption

Paw-some Pups of the Week - Skippy and Lucia

SKIPPY and LUCIA  are  currently being fostered in Georgetown, ON.


🐾Meet Skippy & Lucia – The Perfect Pair of Personality and Love 🐶❤️🐶


Skippy and Lucia may not be biological siblings, but their bond is unmistakable. These two came into rescue together and quickly showed us how deep their connection runs. While each has their own delightful quirks and charm, they complement each other beautifully—like peanut butter and jelly, or in this case, a handsome little chunk and his nosy, spunky bestie. We would be thrilled to see them adopted together, though our biggest wish is for both to find loving homes.


Skippy – The Chunky Romeo with a Big Heart 🐾💙   


Skippy (aka Skip) is a 4-year-old chi mix, tipping the scales at 11 pounds of short, chunky love. With his soft coat and soulful eyes, this self-declared mama’s boy thrives on affection and attention. He walks well on leash, has great potty manners, and gets along wonderfully with kids, cats, and female dogs.

He’s a charmer with the ladies—but a little dominant with male dogs, so he prefers they give him his space. Although he dislikes being kenneled (especially at the start of car rides—expect a bit of whining before he settles), he absolutely loves the ride itself and is always up for an outing. 


Skippy has a dramatic flair—he’ll vocalize his displeasure when you leave, but stops after realizing the tantrum isn’t working. There’s no destructive separation anxiety, just a bit of extra personality.

What makes him shine is his quick attachment to his people. He wants to be near you, cuddle with you, and please you. Handsome, sweet, and loyal, Skippy is the kind of pup who will stick to you like Velcro—in the most loving way possible.


Lucia – The Nosy, Confident Yorkie Queen 👑🐾   


Lucia is a 3-year-old Yorkie (or Yorkie mix) with a silky non-shedding coat and a 9-pound frame full of curiosity and sass. She’s friendly, gets along beautifully with cats, dogs, and children, and she’s great on a leash with good potty manners to boot.


Lucia is the epitome of a classic Yorkie—nosy, affectionate, and always underfoot. She loves following her humans around, sniffing out new adventures, and meeting everyone she can with a confident tail wag. Whether it’s a walk, a car ride, or simply shadowing your every move, Lucia is fully invested in the action.


Her bond with Skippy is sweet and sincere. You’ll often find them cuddled together or checking in on each other, and while we know they could adapt separately, we’d love to see them stay side by side if it’s in the cards.


Skippy and Lucia are the ultimate duo—part comedy team, part cuddle crew—and they’re ready to bring warmth, laughter, and loyalty into your life. 🐾❤️

Sparkles and Yoda

SPARKLES and YODA are currently being fostered in Georgetown, ON.


🐾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.


Ready to welcome double the love into your life? Sparkles and Yoda are waiting for their happily-ever-after—and they promise to fill your home with laughter, companionship, and heartwarming moments. 🐾❤️

Buzz

BUZZ is currently being fostered in Markham, ON. 


🐾 Meet Buzz  one very special guy!


BUZZ is a sweet and gentle soul who is navigating a big, unfamiliar world after being surrendered by his owner. He is around 3 years old and weighs 9.8 lbs., with a stunning brindle coat that makes him truly unique. While Buzz is incredibly loving and deeply attached to his people once he bonds, he struggles with first impressions. At first, he will bark, growl, and dart away from strangers—not out of aggression, but because he is scared and uncertain. Since he lived his entire life in one home, all these new places and people are overwhelming for him.


To help Buzz settle, his adopter will need to be patient and experienced, allowing him time to decompress. Because of his nervous nature, Buzz should remain on a leash and harness even indoors for the first few days while adjusting to his new surroundings. He absolutely requires a very secure fenced-in backyard, as his instinct will be to run if startled. Despite his initial uncertainty, Buzz is great with other dogs and cats and would do best in a home without small children. He may need to use a belly band for the first week or two while he learns proper indoor potty manners.


Buzz has a lot of love to give, but he just needs the right person to help him build confidence. His first few days in rescue were tough, but after about a week, he blossomed into a happy little lap dog. He’s worth the effort, and once he bonds with his person, he will be an extremely affectionate and devoted companion. 


Buzz has been waiting the longest at the ranch  for his perfect forever home, hoping for a patient adopter to help him feel safe and loved. ❤️🐶

Bri

BRI is currently being fostered in London, ON. 


🐾  Meet Bri – A Survivor & A Lovebug 🐾


Bri has a long story, and she has come so far since she first arrived at the ranch in September 2024. This little 10.5-pound, 4-year-old sweetheart has been through more than most dogs ever will.

She came from a terrible hoarding situation, where she lived outdoors with over 30 other dogs. She had her babies under a shed, and when her sister tragically passed away, Bri took in her sister’s litter and raised them as her own—nurturing nine newborns despite her fear and uncertainty.


At first, Bri was completely feral, too scared to let anyone near her. But day by day, she learned to trust us. Her babies grew up healthy, got adopted, and Bri was ready to start the next chapter of her life.

Bri has had a tough medical journey. She struggled through spay complications and a life-threatening bleeding disorder that led to a Christmas Day emergency. After months of recovery, she is happy, healthy, and loving life—but she will never be able to have surgery again.


Bri loves other dogs and is a sweet, playful, silly girl. She takes a little time to warm up to new people, but she is never aggressive—just a bit cautious. Bri thinks the ranch is her home because it’s the safest, happiest place she’s ever known. But we know she deserves more—a real family, a comfy couch, holiday celebrations, and all the love a forever home can bring.


What Bri Needs in a Home:   

✔ A fenced yard that is escape-proof (she’s a master at getting out!)   

✔ A patient, loving family experienced with rescue dogs   

✔ No small toddlers, but older, well-mannered kids are okay  

 ✔ Someone willing to leash train her & help her grow   

✔ A commitment to giving her love, security & stability


We LOVE Bri, and this adoption will be handled with care—because she is our family. We will support & check in, because finding Bri the perfect home is our mission.


Could YOU be her special person to give Bri her happily ever after?❤️🐶

Archi

ARCHI  is currently being fostered in Guelph. ON. 


🐾Meet Archi - a bright, affectionate, and playful pup looking for his forever home!


Archi is approximately 5-8 months old and currently weighs 12 pounds. As a mixed-breed Chihuahua, he is expected to grow into a tall and slender 20-25 pound dog. He’s incredibly smart, social, and quick to bond with both people and other dogs. 


Archi's love for playtime means he thrives in a home with energetic canine companions or regular trips to the dog park. While he’s gentle and cuddly with people—especially children—his playful nature may not be ideal for small or frail dogs. Eager to please and easily trainable, Archi is sure to become a beloved family member. 


Archi is ready to fill your days with love, laughter, and endless tail wags! 🐾❤️

Jay Jay

JAY JAY  is  currently being fostered in Burlington, ON. 

   

🐾 Meet Jay Jay – A Playful, Loving Pup Ready for His Forever Home! 🐾


Jay Jay is a one-year-old, 8.9-pound bundle of joy who is full of energy and love. He enjoys playing both on his own and with his foster brother, keeping himself entertained with his favorite antler and Himalayan yak chew.


Though timid at first, Jay Jay warms up quickly to new people. He’s extremely loving and gentle, always eager to be near his human and foster brother. Because of his strong attachment, he may need a little time to adjust to being alone, but with patience, he’ll learn that his family will always come back for him.


Jay Jay is doing great with potty training, though he’ll need reminders in his new home as he continues to learn. He’s also making progress on leash walks, though he sometimes loses focus and needs reassurance. This happy, joyful pup would thrive in a home with a dog playmate and maybe some older children. His curious and fun-loving personality is sure to brighten every day and bring endless happiness to the lucky person who adopts him!


Let’s find Jay Jay the loving home he deserves! 🐾❤️

Penelope

PENELOPE  is  currently being fostered in Texas. 

  

🐾 Meet Penelope  -  Your pocket-sized companion with a giant heart and a courageous spirit.


Penelope may be listed as 8 months old on paper, but with a full set of adult teeth and plenty of wisdom behind those eyes, she's likely closer to a year. She’s a petite 9-pound darling with a big heart, especially when it comes to other dogs—she adores their company and feels safest with canine companionship, so a fur sibling in her new home is a must.


Found bravely navigating busy traffic in San Antonio, Penelope’s past is a mystery, but her resilience speaks volumes. She’s adjusting to new environments with a bit of anxious energy, but never with aggression—just a little caution and a whole lot of love waiting to bloom. With patience, kindness, and a safe space to decompress, her confidence grows by the day.


A fenced yard would be ideal as she builds trust, but don’t be surprised when this girl becomes your confident walking buddy with a leash and harness before long. She’s eager to bond, eager to please, and just needs someone to believe in her.


Penelope is young, smart, and full of potential. Could you be her someone to be her cheerleader, her safe haven, and her guide as she blossoms into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. 🐾❤️

Socco

SOCCO is  currently being fostered in Texas. 

  

🐾Meet Socco – Your Shy Sparkle Waiting to Shine ✨


Socco is our tiny love bug, weighing in at just 5.9 pounds and about 1.5 years old. When she first arrived, she was completely feral—too scared to let anyone near her. It took nearly a month of patience and kindness before she decided that people might not be so bad after all. And since that day, she’s blossomed into a truly special little companion.


Now, Socco enjoys being picked up and snuggled. She loves attention, performs the sweetest twirls and dances, and melts under baby talk and doting affection. Her transformation has been nothing short of magical.


Socco s still very nervous about leashes and harnesses, so she’ll require a securely fenced yard while she builds trust with her person. Once she bonds with you, leash training can begin at her pace.

Socco is deeply dependent on other dogs for comfort and confidence. She needs a home with friendly, social, and confident dogs to help guide her. No small children, please—she’s best suited to a calm, understanding household where she can continue to feel safe.


Socco is looking for a patient and gentle family—someone who will let her decompress and understand that trust takes time. But when she opens up, she is truly a shining little star, full of love and charm just waiting to be discovered.


Socco’s journey started in fear, but with your love, she’ll dance her way straight into your heart. 🐾❤️

Taco

TACO is  currently being fostered in Texas. 

  

🐾 Meet Taco – a Grade A goofball with a heart of gold!  


Taco is approximately 2 years old and weighs 9.7 pounds—though he could use a little extra weight and muscle to fully fill out his frame. He’s already come a long way from when he first arrived at the shelter, thin, dehydrated, and suffering from severe mange.


He came from a small shelter outside Dallas, Texas, where the caring staff went above and beyond—driving him 6 hours south on their day off—to make sure this deserving pup could find the best possible home. That dedication alone shows just how special Taco is. And truly, what’s not to love?


Despite his rough start, Taco is happy, affectionate, social, and delightfully silly. He has no anxiety, loves meeting new people, walks well on leash, isn’t barky, and brings a cheerful energy that’s outgoing but not hyper—he’s just pure joy wrapped in a short-legged package.


Now that his coat is growing back, his skin is healed, and his spirits are high, Taco is ready for his next big adventure. He’s wonderful with kids, adults, cats, and other dogs, though his enthusiastic greetings mean he sometimes forgets the concept of personal space when meeting canine friends. He’s just very excited to say hi!


Taco is a true gem—a resilient, goofy, lovable pup who’s ready to bring endless smiles to his forever home.🐾❤️

Frito

FRITO  is  currently being fostered in Texas. 

  

🐾Meet Frito – Your Daily Dose of Joy


Frito is an adorable 6–8-month-old pup with a heart full of sunshine and a tail that never stops wagging. Weighing in at 8.3 pounds, he’ll likely grow to be around 12 pounds fully grown. This little guy lives each day with pure happiness and spreads it freely to everyone he meets.


He came to us from our local shelter in rough shape—battling mange, with a crusty coat, itchy skin, and a not-so-pleasant smell. But after the right treatment, medicated baths, and plenty of love, his coat is filling in nicely and his skin is healing. He’s still got a touch of “shelter scent” left, but it’s fading with each spa day. In the meantime, he’s cozying up in a cute little T-shirt and loving every cuddle.

Frito is an incredibly friendly and social pup. He gets along with dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, and every person he meets. His cheerful, open-hearted nature makes him a joy to be around—he’s truly the kind of dog who lights up a room just by walking in.


Frito is ready to turn your house into a home—one cuddle at a time. 🐾❤️

Lola

LOLA  is  currently being fostered in Texas. 

  

🐾Meet Lola – Your Loyal Little Lap Princess 👑


Lola—also affectionately known as Lolita (yes, she has her own theme song!)—is a darling 2-year-old terrier mix who weighs just 6 pounds. She’s the perfect pint-sized companion for someone looking for a sweet, quiet presence with a heart full of love.


She came to us as an owner surrender to our local shelter, and while she was a little shy and skittish at first, she has warmed up beautifully. Lola may be cautious those first few days, especially on leash and harness, but once she trusts you, she walks like the little princess she truly is.


Lola appears to be non-shedding, and she’s wonderfully well-mannered with both other dogs and cats. That said, she'd do best in a home without small toddlers—she thrives in calm environments where she can blossom at her own pace.


This sweet girl is an absolute gem and a devoted lap lover, just waiting for someone to offer her the time and tenderness to let her true personality sparkle.


Lola’s ready to be your leading lady—snuggles, serenades, and all. 🐾❤️

Nacho

NACHO  is  currently being fostered in Texas. 

  

🐾 Meet Nacho – Your Short, Sweet, and Perfectly Stout Sidekick 🌮💛


Nacho is a 2-year-old Chiweenie with a heart as big as his charm. Weighing in at 15.5 pounds, he’s compact, short and stout, and basically everything you’d want in a little companion. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear—Nacho is the total package.


He’s not barky, walks beautifully on a leash, and gets along with absolutely everyone—people, dogs, cats, and kids alike. His manners are impeccable, and his loving, laid-back personality makes him the kind of dog who fits effortlessly into any lifestyle.


Nacho’s that magical mix of playful and calm—fun-loving without being too hyper, and always ready for his next cuddle session. He rides like a pro in the car, is a joy on walks, and charms every new friend he meets. Whether you’re heading to brunch, a day at the office, or your next big adventure, Nacho will be your cheerful co-pilot.


He was found locally as a stray, and honestly, we’re baffled that anyone could let such a gem slip away. But their loss is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to bring home a true treasure.


Nacho is ready to fill your days with fun, your heart with love, and your arms with the sweetest cuddles.  🐾❤️
