How to Adopt

Lil Oscar is currently being fostered in MAPLE, ONTARIO.

Oscar is 1.5 years young and a sweet, loveable, boxer/bulldog mix. He is 50 lbs, and strong. He needs an adult-only home & an owner who has experience with strong breeds.

He was found as a stray and picked up by ACS San Antonio. Due to be the euthanatized.

During his time in foster, we have learned that he has some hearing loss, and partial facial paralysis, but this does not affect his quality of life. Oscar is paralyzed on the left side of his face. This could have been caused by head trauma or stroke. There seems to be no limitations with his paralysis. 

Oscar is crate trained, and does well on his own when you go to work for the day.  He rarely barks, but as he has gotten comfortable in his foster home sometimes he is vocal when playing.

He has some food sensitivities but it’s easy to manage with regular store-bought dog food and loves steamed veggies.

Oscar graduated Puppy Obedience training and has learned several new commands. It will be beneficial to continue with training and positive reinforcement to ensure he is a well behaved part of your family. He knows hand signals for various commands (sit, stay, wait, paw)

Oscar has some resource guarding when outside, but with positive reinforcement he will continue to improve. He loves going on walks, and would love a fenced in backyard if possible. 

Oscar LOVES sticks and trees when he’s walking down trails!  Loves them so much he doesn’t know how to let go.  When his foster was holding a stick, he got so excited, that he grabbed it out of their hand and cut their finger.  This was an accident.  However, due to his obsession, he needs to live in a city environment instead of the country. It is best for him to be kept away from sticks.  

Due to his facial partial paralysis, he doesn’t realize how hard he is chewing.  He is a strong chewer. Kong toys, and bones to keep him busy are recommended.

Best to be the only dog in the home, but he does love to meet other dogs and enjoys meeting people on walks, can be a little shy of men at first.

Oscar doesn't realize he is a big dog, and sometimes will want to sit on you when on the couch. He enjoys being close to his family when they are home.

TUCKER is currently being fostered in HAMILTON, ONTARIO.

Tucker is the sweetest baby ever he’s a gentle giant weighing in at 50 lbs at just 16 weeks and growing. He was a local owner surrender and is a  shepherd/lab/bulldog mix. His parents are large, he’s growing fast and will likely be the same 75-90lb range.   He loves to play with his foster fur siblings and has chosen the larger pup of the gang, as his playmate. 

He attaches quickly to his people and wants to be beside you all the time. He loves respectable kids too. He hasn’t got a mean bone in his body. He sleeps well in his crate at night, if you hear any noise from him it’s because he has to go to the bathroom. He’s a very smart boy. Tucker is potty training. He has it down for the most part and has not had an accident in his crate. He does sometimes do a happy sprinkle. A little bit of patience and time is all he needs. 

He’s very playful and loves his chew toys.  Learning to walk on a leash is a work in progress and with his expected size, will love a great walking partner by his side who appreciates the exercise as much as he does. 

He does take a little time to warm up to new people. Just be patient and he will come around.  He is a gentle giant, but does love to puppy play and wrestle with other dogs his size.

Tucker isn’t a big barker but he does have a surprisingly big voice for the baby that he is. Someone’s going to be very happy and very lucky to make him part of their family. 

He is due for vaccine boosters in July.

JACKIE is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Jackie is a female, 1.5 yr old  23 pound mix, fully grown, full of life, full of love, full of energy and always the life of the party. 

Jackie does not know a stranger and does not have a shy bone in her body. She has a big dog personality in a little sized body. 

She is great with dogs, kids, people, but we are NOT 100% sure she would be good with cats. I do not think she wouldn't purposely hurt a cat or a very small dog, but she is very playful and may be a little much for a very small or very old animal.  

Jackie is a good girl and she needs some basic training but listens well, learns quickly. She responds well to treats, positive training and has the potential to be a very good family member. A busy family that either has a yard or is able to take her to dog parks, walks and outdoor adventures to let her get out some energy. 

Jackie is active and would do amazing with an outdoor family or someone that likes to hike or run. 

She is great in the car, good on leash, is not scared of anything, she loves meeting new people, dogs, and is a social butterfly. 

That being said, Jackie also still likes attention and can absolutely cuddle on the couch with you or sit down and chill for a bit, but that is of course after she gets out her zoomies  

***Updated info July 9th - Jackie has turned into a crazy pants. She is now the jumper and very mouthy. Mouthy meaning she puts her mouth on you a lot and we are working on trying to break this habit.***

Although she is bigger than most of our chis we did take in a couple of bigger (for us) dogs from our local shelter because they are beyond full and euthanizing dogs because there is just not enough space. We had to step up and help. 

LOLA is currently being fostered in OSHAWA, ONTARIO. 

This cute lil chunka monk, is a short and stocky lil gal, named Lola. 2 yrs old and 15 pounds. She was an owner surrender to a shelter in Edinburg, TX.

She seems to have good potty manners, gets along fine with cats, kids, all people and dogs of all sizes and ages. 

She is a gem and an all around good girl, not a big barker, walks on leash, you really could not ask for more. She is a great dog and will fit in quickly to your life and home. She is an easy foster and gets along with everyone, learns quickly and is super social. She is an all around A plus gal!  

CAMPER is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Camper is apx 1 year old and 13.5 pounds. 

She is very scared, timid, but never aggressive. 

Camper from Del Rio Texas and was clearly mistreated in her short time here on earth. 

She is very sweet, playful, and has a silly side but she is terrified of her own shadow and is still a bit unsure and afraid of humans. She is not aggressive and will cuddle up on your lap. 

She is good with other dogs and animals but does get persnickety with her food and will need to be fed separately. 

She won’t walk on leash and harness yet and needs a fenced yard. 

Camper is a true rescue girl. She needs an experienced foster or adopter to work with her on socializing, confidence building, walking on leash, and basic puppy 101. 

Camper is only a year old, so she is young and will learn to trust, love and be a wonderful family dog. She deserves a second chance. 

She is a good girl, eager to please and to be a part of your life, she just doesn't quite know how to yet, but she will get there. 

She just needs love, a place to call home, consistency, and to learn to trust us humans. 

Camper, Karma and Emi (adopted) are siblings.

RIVER is currently being fostered in TORONTO, ONTARIO.

River apx 2 years old and 10 pounds  . She naturally has resting “B” face so she is not the most photogenic but I swear she is very sweet, although shy.

River is gentle and wants to love and be loved. 

She has gorgeous blue eyes. 

River and her family were rescued from a hoarding situation in South Texas. 

The dogs all came to us a tad on the feral side and some are warming up a bit more than the others. River is still very shy and scared, quiet and unsure of new people and places but she blossoms more and more every day. 

No small children please, but she does great with dogs and cats. 

River has a gentle soul, it took her a few days to come to us without wanting to run away and hide, but she continues to warm up to us every day. 

River now comes to us and asks to be held and pet and she really loves to see all of the people she is used to. River does play and prance around with the other dogs but is a gentle player.  

She needs a quiet home willing to put in some socializing , confidence building, and lots of positive reinforcement. 

Once she gets to know you and her surroundings, she will  walk on leash and harness but the first few days after arriving in her new home she should be on a leash and harness and preferably in a fenced in or secure area, or pen as well.  

River is not at all aggressive and she really is  not a runner, once she knows you she will be velcro. But at first she will be confused and afraid and extra precaution should be made just in case to cater to her timid temperament. 

I am 110% positive that within 6-8 weeks of her being in her new home she is just going to be a regular, happy go lucky, fun and confident, sweet, gorgeous baby girl. 

BEAUTIFUL SKYE is currently being fostered in WATERFORD, ONTARIO.

Skye was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation. She was infested with fleas and ticks and living outside.

Skye is 7.3 pounds and apx 2 years old. She is timid and shy at first but warms up quickly.

She is good with most dogs but Skye has an old soul and she is not a huge fan of puppy antics. She will never be aggressive but if she is napping and a puppy runs up on top of her she will give a little growl and let it be known she is not in the mood.

Skye has recently become much more playful at the ranch. She does zoomies and runs with the other dogs.

She actively seeks attention from humans and wants to to cuddle, be pet and doted upon.

She really has blossomed so much in her time here.

We can not wait to see her grow and shine and get a family of her own. 

PACO TACO is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Paco Taco is apx 2-4 years old and 9.6 pounds. 

He is a bit of a handful but the most loving boy you will ever find. Have you ever dreamed of having a man that was obsessed with you? Well let me introduce you to Paco, he will probably try to take a shower with you. LOL

Paco is a velcro dog and he does have some separation anxiety. Paco Taco is actually quiet once he can’t see you, like if you go to work, he stays quiet and calm until your return, he only cries for a few moments when you leave then settles down. However, if you are home and he can not get to you, such as a shut door, kennel, baby gate, that is when the show starts. The tears, whining and crying is an entire theatrical performance.  He’s a big baby.

Paco walks well on leash. He has okay potty manners but did mark a couple times when he first arrived, but has not marked again in a while. He holds his potty all night. 

We do have some natural anti-anxiety medication we can send with him on transport. Oddly enough, he does ok in the car. 

He is good with cats and female dogs but not the best with dominant male dogs. He wants to be the king of the house. He would do fine with well mannered older children. 

Paco Taco takes a little patience but he sure will love you past the moon and look at you like you hung the stars.  

ONYX is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Onyx is apx 1.5-2 years young 12.5 pounds Chug with an adorable underbite. 

She does have a small cherry eye that we will have removed before adoption. 

Onyx is such a great girl. Happy, loving, submissive, gentle, gets along with everyone, great with cats, kids and dogs. 

She is not overly barky, walks well on leash, is doing pretty good on her potty manners.

She is just all around cutie patootie with a fantastic demeanor.

LINDY is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Lindy is apx 4-5 years young and 9.2 pounds. She is a gorgeous color, silver/grey with a  mix of brindle. 

She is a super sweet girl and she gets along with all other animals and children. 

However she jumps a lot on a human when excited so she may not be the best to have with toddlers unless you are committed to training and correcting this behavior. Lindy is a little jumping bean. 

She ADORES attention. 

If she is nervous, she will bark at strangers coming in the house, but as soon as they make friends with her, which does not take very long at all, she is up in their lap, giving them kisses.  

Lindy barked a lot the first day here. I think this was nerves and anxiety but just after one day this stopped and she is now pretty quiet. 

She barks when she gets anxious, nervous or over excited, so her first few days in a new home she may be a bit barky but I promise this will subside very quickly. 

Lindy has great potty manners and leash manners. 

She is social, loving, gentle, kind, and has a huge heart ready to love you to pieces. 

FLETCHER is currently being fostered in TEXAS but will be arriving in Ontario on Sept 28th

Fletcher is an adorable 10 month old 7 pound little lover. 

He is such a great well rounded dog, very social and happy. 

He gets along with all animals, kids and people. He is so funny and he loves cuddles and a lap but he also loves to play and runs so so so sooooooo fast. 

He needs a yard or an adopter willing to take him on jogs, parks or dog parks because he is an athletic kid, but not overly hyper. He does love to run though and does crazy zoomies.  

Fletcher is a doll baby and can’t wait to meet his family! 

HART is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Hart is apx 2 years young and 8 pounds but a little on the thin side, we are trying to fatten her up a bit. She should probably gain another pound. 

She is naturally tall and slender. 

Hart was rescued from our local high kill shelter. 

She is healing from ring worm. 

Hart was standoffish at first but comes around very quickly and now is just a little love bug to every human she meets. 

She walks on leash and has good potty manners. 

She loves attention, people and cuddles.

She does well with well mannered older children, I would say no toddlers please. 

Hart is an alpha female.  She is good with cats and would do best as an only dog or in a home with more laid back older dogs. 

She is not overly barky and would do fine in a condo/apartment space. 

Hart has a lot of amazing qualities and was well worth the second chance, she is truly a little doll. 

ANNA SOPHIA is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Anna Sophia is apx 10 months old and 7 pounds. 

She is gentle, submissive, very loving, adores people and attention.

She is good with cats, other dogs and well mannered older children. She is not a big fan of super hyper puppies or hyper kids. 

She is young but with an old soul. She likes cuddles and couch time and will velcro herself to her people. 

She is a sweet sweet girl with a wonderful demeanor. 

Anna Sophia has beautiful markings and so unique looking and also has a fantastic personality.  

SPARKLES is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

***Please note that we would prefer to have SPARKLES and YODA adopted together***

Sparkles is apx 8 years old and 12 pounds. 

She is very social, sweet, happy, good potty manners, walks on leash, not overly barky, great with other dogs, cats and well mannered kids. 

Sparkles was an owner surrender with her “sister” Yoda. We are hoping to get them adopted together but truly just want them to get into a wonderful home and do what is best for them to live happily ever after. 

Sparkles is getting a dental on Sept 23rd. 

YODA is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

***Please note that we would prefer to have YODA and SPARKLES adopted together***

Yoda is apx 8 -9 years old and 12 pounds, a shitzu/chihuahua mix. 

She was an owner surrender with her “sister” Sparkles. 

We are hoping they can be adopted together but we do want what is best for them and to find the girls an amazing home. 

Yoda gets a dental on the 23rd. She is a tripod. Yoda does have some cataracts starting in her eyes, some cloudiness and her teeth are awful so she will most likely lose quite a few toofers.

Yoda is a bit more nervous than her sister Sparkles. She is good with cats and dogs but no small children please. 

Yoda is more shy and needs some time to warm up. She is not an aggressive dog just a bit scared and nervous. This is A LOT of change for her. 

Yoda is a sweet gentle older girl and she needs her forever home to be a place to rest her head, feel love and security. 

FATE is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Fate is apx 13 pounds and one year young. 

She was tied to a pole on the side of the highway. She was rescued by a good human and brought to us. 

She was so hungry and dirty. I am not sure what Fate has gone through in the past, but she has warmed up to us quickly and is learning to “DOG”.

I believe she lived a very sheltered life before coming to us possibly constantly locked in a kennel or space or tied up outdoors in a small area.

She spent the first week here terrified, scared and would not leave her room. She would potty in her area and just lay in it. Thankfully that did not last long.

Fate is developmentally delayed for her age. She acts like a baby puppy even though she an adult. 

She is mouthy and always putting her mouth on people and other animals but never hurts or bites down. 

She loves to play with dogs but doesn’t actually understand how to play, this is something she is just learning. She was very scared of the other dogs and we had to introduce them to her slowly, now she never leaves them alone and wants to play all day. She loves others dogs but needs a slow introduction, especially with bigger dogs. 

She still gets easily scared of new things and loud noises, but she has really come a very long way in a short period of time. 

I know she will continue to blossom. She gets attached to her people quickly. 

Fate still lets out a little cry if you pick her up too fast or swiftly. She needs positive reinforcement and Love. Care. Routine. Patience. She is a true rescue dog and we can’t wait to see her SHINE!

THOR is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Thor is apx 9 -11 years young and a wee 5 pounds.

He is such a sweet and affectionate loving little boy that found himself in a shelter after his family was unable or unwilling to care for him. 

Thor is great with other dogs, cats, well mannered older children and is 110 percent lap baby. 

Thor was neutered as a baby so he does not mark and has pretty good potty manners outside or on the potty pads. 

He is such a good little boy. We all adore him. Thor has been his name since he was a baby. 

He gets a dental on Sept 20th.
