Lotus (LoLo) - Pawsome Pup of the Week
LOTUS is currently being fostered in Southern Ontario.
Meet Lotus (Lolo)! 
- Just looking for love
At 10 years young and just 7.5 pounds, Lotus—affectionately known as Lolo—is a tiny sweetheart with a big personality. With her short legs and long body, we think she may be a Chiweenie mix, although she certainly has plenty of Chihuahua charm!
Lolo came into rescue through no fault of her own when her loving owner could no longer afford the treatment she needed for seizures. Thanks to proper veterinary care, she is now stable and thriving. She will need lifelong medication, which she happily takes tucked inside a tiny pill pocket. Aside from her well-managed seizures and some mild age-related vision changes, she's in wonderful health. She has also had a dental, been spayed, and had a benign mammary tumour removed.
Lolo is equal parts sweet and sassy! She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home and is good with respectful children, though her tiny size makes her better suited to a home without very young kids. She hasn't been tested with cats.
This little lady loves life! She enjoys zoomies, playing fetch with soft toys, and proudly removing every squeaker and bit of stuffing she can find. When playtime is over, she's happiest curled up in your lap giving kisses or snuggled under the blankets beside you at bedtime.
Lotus loves sunny days, leisurely walks filled with lots of sniffing, and spending time outdoors. She has good emerging leash manners and is fully house-trained in her foster home, using either the yard or pee pads. Like many dogs, she may need a little patience while adjusting to a new home, but she's a quick learner.
Lolo can be vocal when she hears noises or visitors arrive—not because she's unfriendly, but because she'd much rather be picked up for cuddles! Because of this, a detached home would likely suit her better than an apartment or townhouse.
If you're looking for a loving little companion with plenty of personality, Lotus is ready to fill your home—and your lap—with love.
Possie
POSSIE is currently being fostered in Southern Ontario.
Meet Possie (aka Ozzie!) A fluffy goofball with main‑character energy**
Ozzie is a 12.5 lb, 6–8‑year‑old Pomeranian with a big heart, a big personality, and a hilarious, lovable streak that makes him unforgettable. He’s full of life — he loves fetch, park time, zoomies, and being right in the middle of whatever’s happening. Smart, sensitive, and deeply bonded to his person, Ozzie thrives with routine, structure, and a calm home where he can feel secure.
He can be overwhelmed by noise and new people, so slow introductions and consistency help him settle beautifully. Once he trusts you, he’s loyal, affectionate, and wonderfully goofy. A quiet, adult‑only home or one with older, dog‑savvy kids. He may do well with a calm, confident dog who helps him feel grounded.
Care Needs
• Special diet
• Daily anxiety medication
• Regular grooming
• Mild collapsed trachea (common in Poms, managed with care)
Ozzie is:
✔ Good with dogs & cats
✔ House trained
✔ Great on leash
✔ Medium energy
✔ Travels well
⚠️ Vocal & needs slow intros to new people
Ozzie is loyal, funny, expressive, and full of personality — a dog who will make you laugh daily and love you fiercely. He’s not the right fit for everyone, but for the person who understands him, he’s absolutely everything.
Ellana
ELLANA is currently being fostered in Southern Ontario.
✨ Meet Ellana – The Resilient Snaggle‑Tooth Queen
At 5–6 years old and just 16 pounds, Ellana is a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix with a big personality in a tiny, fluffy body. A survivor of a house fire/hoarding situation and once on the euthanasia list, she’s been through more than most—but she’s come out the other side with her spark intact… and a healthy sense of knowing what she likes.
Ellana is “perfectly imperfect.” With her adorable waddle, signature snaggle tooth, and cloud-soft coat, she turns heads everywhere she goes. She also has a small neurological mouth “tick” (like a fish out of water), which doesn’t bother her at all—it’s just part of her charm.She enjoys the company of other dogs and cats, but prefers a calm, orderly environment where she can play “hall monitor” and keep things from getting too rowdy.
Ellana is looking for a quiet, adult-only home where she can feel safe and understood. She bonds deeply, but at her own pace—once you’re in her circle, you’re truly her person. She appreciates clear boundaries, doesn’t love being startled or picked up unexpectedly, and may give a little grumble to share her opinion.
Don’t let her mild arthritis fool you—this girl still loves her walks and will happily dance at the sight of a leash.**she will easily take pain meds to help ease the pain, and they are given as needed**She enjoys affection in short bursts and will nudge you when she’s ready for love. She’s also food-motivated and knows “sit,” “lay down,” and “wait.”
Ellana can be a bit of a “fear reactor” if rushed and has nipped when startled, so she needs an adopter committed to going slow and respecting her cues. With patience, she quickly relaxes and shows her sweet, loyal side.
Ellana isn’t difficult—she’s discerning. A little sass, a lot of heart, and so much love to give.
Could you be her person? 
Lucas
LUCAS is currently being fostered in Southern Ontario
Meet Lucas! - Lucas is a whole lot of sweetness packed into one tiny, slightly sophisticated kangaroo boy!
Lucas has settled beautifully into his foster home and at approximately 10 months old and just 9 pounds, is an absolute cuddle bug. He bonds quickly with his people and is happiest curled up like a bagel on your lap, tucked into the small of your back, or snuggled under the covers. He's quite the little shadow and likes to keep his favourite humans within eyesight.
He's playful, too! He loves chew toys, sticks and playing with his foster brother. He's wonderful with cats and has no interest in chasing them. He's good with other dogs but prefers his friends to respect his personal space. Those enthusiastic puppies jumping all over him? Lucas considers himself a little too refined for that nonsense!
Lucas can be shy and timid when meeting new people or exploring unfamiliar places, but he warms up once he feels safe. He's still building confidence and working on leash and harness walks. When nervous, he tends to freeze, so patience, positive reinforcement and a little baby talk go a long way!
He's a quick learner, earning an A+ at his first training session! He knows to potty outside and has had no accidents in his foster home.
Lucas is very attached to his people and is working through some separation anxiety. He's making progress and settling a little quicker in his crate when left alone, but he still cries and fusses. He may also become upset if he can't see his favourite person, even when they're just in another room. He'll need a patient family willing to continue working on building his confidence and independence.
Lucas would love a family who is home often and wants a devoted little companion. A home without young children would be best, as he wasn't comfortable with the infant he's met. A fenced backyard isn't necessarily a requirement.
Lucas doesn't need someone to change who he is; he just needs someone to help him discover how brave he can be. With patience, consistency and lots of love, he'll make an incredibly devoted best friend.
Looking for a tiny shadow with a HUGE heart and excellent cuddling skills? Lucas is your guy!
Patrick
PATRICK is currently being fostered in Southern Ontario
🐾 Meet Sir Patrick Frankenstein — tall, fluffy, quirky, and full of love
Sir Patrick Frankenstein is an adorable, tall, quirky little man, about five years old and weighing 9.2 pounds. He’s a sweetheart 95% of the time, with just a touch of classic Chihuahua attitude sprinkled in. Patrick is a gem to live with, but he does have strong opinions about things like nail trims, vet visits, and being fussed over — he’ll need a muzzle for those moments. Outside of that, he’s genuinely a good boy, though he absolutely holds a grudge, which only adds to his charm.
He walks well on leash and has been pretty reliable with his potty routine. In his first couple of days in temporary foster care, he marked a few times, but he corrected easily and settled in quickly once he had a consistent walk schedule and a belly band for support. Patrick isn’t overly barky or yappy; he’ll simply alert when strangers are at the door or in the yard. Despite his long coat, he’s not much of a shedder.
Patrick gets along with other dogs for the most part, though he does have a bit of Chihuahua sass and may get snarky from time to time. He is excellent with cats and would be a great fit for condo or apartment living. Because of his boundaries and sensitivity, he’s best suited to a home without small children — middle‑school age and up is ideal. Patrick has far more good qualities than challenging ones, and he would thrive with someone who is familiar with typical Chihuahua behaviour and comfortable with a dog who has a little attitude mixed in with a whole lot of love.
At heart, Patrick is an expert snuggle bug who just wants a person who understands him. He’s quirky, affectionate, and full of personality — a wonderful companion for someone dog‑savvy and ready to appreciate him exactly as he is.
Sir Patrick Frankenstein — a tiny gentleman with a big heart, looking for the human who gets him.
Luna
LUNA is currently being fostered in Eastern Ontario
Meet Luna — a tender little poodle learning that the world can be kind
Luna is a purebred miniature poodle, weighing 9.12 pounds and estimated to be 3–5 years old. She comes from a terrible cruelty case, and despite the horrific conditions she endured, she remains an incredibly gentle, sweet, and soft‑natured little dog. Luna is skittish and fearful at first, but she has never shown aggression — there isn’t a mean bone in her body.
Once Luna bonds with her people, her true personality begins to shine. She becomes loving, playful, and affectionate, but she will always be timid in new places and with new people. She needs an adopter who understands that trust takes time, and who is willing to offer patience, encouragement, and confidence building as she continues to heal from her past.
Luna has met several dogs and cats and does well with them. She is fine with older children, but she is fearful of young kids and does not like being chased. On leash she is not “bad,” just very nervous — she may freeze or lay down when unsure. Because she is fearful and would not run to a stranger for help, she will need a secure fenced yard and an adopter committed to slow, positive leash and harness training. She is not feral, and she is never nippy or mean — just a gentle soul who needs time to feel safe.
Luna will require regular grooming, as her coat grows continuously. When she was rescued, she had to be shaved almost completely bald — she was so severely matted that she could not walk or even go potty properly. Her progress in just one month has been remarkable, and we cannot wait to see her continue to shine.
Luna is a delicate, deserving little poodle who will blossom beautifully with a dog‑savvy adopter willing to offer patience, kindness, and grace.
Pepper
PEPPER is currently being fostered in Southern Ontario
Meet Pepper — the sweetest little poodle gentleman
Pepper is an 8‑year‑old, 9.25‑lb miniature poodle and truly one of the sweetest souls you will ever meet. This little man wants nothing more than to be held, cuddled, and loved on — all day, every day. He is an equal‑opportunity snugglebug who would thrive with a family that is home often or retired. If you’ve ever wanted a tiny shadow who follows you everywhere, Pepper is your guy.
He walks beautifully on a leash and harness, and he loves being carried like a baby. Pepper wants a family so badly and melts into anyone willing to give him affection.
Pepper is beginning to show a bit of age‑related arthritis in his hips and rear legs — nothing severe, just the usual “snap, crackle, pop” of an older gentleman. He is not in pain and still walks, runs, and even pops up on his hind legs to say hi. He simply needs someone gentle with him and a home that uses dog stairs for the couch or bed so he isn’t jumping down. Good nutrition, a joint supplement, and occasional anti‑inflammatories during cold or damp weather will help him stay comfortable.
Pepper came from an awful cruelty case and was confiscated for his safety. His past was horrific, and he deserves nothing less than a future filled with comfort, kindness, and love. Despite everything he has endured, he remains soft, trusting, and unbelievably sweet.
We cannot wait to see Pepper spoiled rotten in the loving home he has always deserved.
Lil Boo
LIL BOO is currently being fostered in Texas
Meet Lil Boo! - Deaf, goofy, and overflowing with love with a huge personality.
Lil Boo is approximately 10 months old and weighs about 9 pounds. He may be small, but he doesn't know it! This energetic little guy is FULL of love, FULL of personality, and FULL of fun. There is truly never a dull moment when Lil Boo is around.
Lil Boo is deaf and sleeps like the dead, but once he's awake, he's ready to take on the world. He's wiggly, bouncy, athletic, and always looking for his next adventure. He loves everyone he meets and approaches life with endless enthusiasm and joy.
He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and absolutely loves to play. In fact, sometimes he loves to play a little too much! Lil Boo has no concept of personal space and would happily make every dog and human his best friend. Because of his playful nature, he may unintentionally annoy more reserved dogs who aren't interested in keeping up with his energy level.
Lil Boo would thrive with an active family committed to providing plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and continued training. He would enjoy trips to the dog park, daily walks, running, hiking, adventures, or even doggy daycare. This is not a dog who will be happy spending long days crated in an apartment. He needs engagement, activity, and opportunities to use both his body and his brain.
Once he's burned off some energy, Lil Boo transforms into an incredibly affectionate cuddle bug who loves spending time with his people.
He walks on a leash and harness and loves children and other animals. He is good with cats, but because he is such an enthusiastic player, he may try to chase them or convince them to join in his games. He would do best with a dog-savvy cat that won't be bothered by his playful antics.
Lil Boo is a very special boy. While his deafness and energetic nature require a little extra patience and understanding, the happiness, laughter, and unconditional love he brings to a home are worth it tenfold.
❤️ If you're looking for a fun-loving sidekick, adventure buddy, and world-class cuddle partner, Lil Boo is ready to fill your life with joy. 🐾
Bosco
BOSCO is currently being fostered in Southern Ontario
Meet Bosco! - A cuddlebug type of guy!
At just 1 year old and not quite 7 pounds, Bosco is a tiny, dainty little guy with a BIG personality, an even bigger heart, and some pretty impressive dance moves!
Bosco is very much still a puppy and hasn't quite figured out he's a dog. He believes he's a little prince (possibly a human child!) and would happily spend his days being carried around, cuddled, and showered with attention. He is a very loving, affectionate boy who wants to be close to his people.
Bosco came to us from a local shelter in Texas. He's good with other dogs and cats and could do well with respectful children who understand how tiny he is.
Bosco does have some special needs when it comes to finding his perfect home. He can be nervous around strangers and may become nippy when excited or unsure. Slow, patient introductions are a MUST, especially when visitors come to the house. His family will need to understand his boundaries and help him feel safe. He can also be quite vocal, so apartment or condo living is not suitable.
A few things to know: Bosco has an old fracture in his front right leg and will always have a limp. He doesn't appear to be in pain, but his mobility needs monitoring. If his limping worsens or he becomes painful, amputation may eventually be considered for quality of life. Short walks are best. He's good on leash and harness but dislikes cold weather and wet grass! House training is a work in progress. He doesn't mark, squats to pee, and uses potty pads. He's still a puppy chewer (shoes are tempting!), but redirects to chew toys. He dislikes being crated.
Bosco would love a home where his people aren't away for long hours. He thrives on companionship and would make a wonderful little office buddy!
Bosco isn't suited to just any home, but the right family will get an incredibly special little companion.
He's ready for a life filled with patience, understanding, endless cuddles, and plenty of spoiling. After all, royalty deserves the very best!

Snickerdoodle and all of his siblings are incredibly friendly and social.

Ratatouille and all of his siblings are incredibly friendly and social. He loves other dogs, gets along well with cats, enjoys children, and has all the playful qualities you would expect from a happy puppy. However, unlike his more outgoing siblings, Ratatouille is a little more reserved and takes his time building confidence in new situations.
He is the most submissive of the group and often lets his siblings take the spotlight. In fact, he's usually the one they tend to pick on, yet he remains incredibly gentle and kind-hearted. While he may not be the first puppy to rush up and say hello, once he feels safe and loved, his sweet personality shines through.
Ratatouille is the kind of puppy who will thrive in a patient, loving home that allows him to blossom at his own pace. Beneath that shy exterior is a precious little boy full of love, loyalty, and quiet affection, just waiting for his special family to help him discover how wonderful life can be.

Jeffy
JEFFY is currently being fostered in Texas
Meet Jeffy! This tiny Chihuahua is packed full of personality, charm, and affection. If you're looking for a devoted little shadow who wants nothing more than to be close to his people, Jeffy is ready to steal your heart.
At approximately 4 years old and weighing just under 7 pounds, Jeffy may be small, but he's everything Chihuahua! Rescued from our local shelter, we're so grateful we were able to give this adorable little guy a second chance.
Jeffy's favorite place in the world is in someone's arms. He absolutely loves being held like a baby and is happy to soak up attention from anyone willing to offer it. While he doesn't suffer from separation anxiety, he definitely prefers to be wherever his people are and will gladly follow you from room to room as your loyal companion.
Jeffy has good potty manners here at the rescue and has proven to be an easy little houseguest. One thing to know about this smart boy is that he's a bit of a ninja when it comes to doors and gates! Because he loves being with his people, you'll need to be careful when coming and going, as he'll happily try to accompany you on your adventures.
Jeffy does well with older, well-mannered children. Toddlers can make him a little nervous at first, and he may bark when meeting them, but he has absolutely no aggression. Young children visiting would be fine, but a home with older children or adults would likely be more his style.
He is also good with both dogs and cats. When meeting new animals, Jeffy may growl or bark a little as he tries to act tough and establish himself in his tiny body. Give him a few minutes to warm up, though, and he's quickly all wiggles, tail wags, and happy greetings. Because he can be a little cautious initially, we'd recommend slow introductions and smaller groups rather than tossing him straight into a busy dog park or doggy daycare environment.
While Jeffy enjoys the company of other animals, he would also be perfectly happy as an only pet. Human attention is truly his favorite thing in the world.
This little gem loves to snuggle, cuddle under blankets, and tuck his head up under your neck as close as he can get. And be warned... Jeffy is a bit sneaky with those surprise French kisses when you're not expecting them!
🐾 If you're looking for a sweet, affectionate, devoted companion who will shower you with love and keep you company wherever you go, Jeffy may be your perfect match. ❤️
