How to Adopt

 CAZZ  is currently being fostered  in Tillsonburg, ON.

Meet Cazz, an approximately 7.5 yrs & 8 lb  loving boy.  He has a hard time with meeting new people when they are standing over him.  He is timid.  

Cazz is missing 12 teeth, he had to have some dental done, as a result his tongue does tend to slip out trough the front of his mouth but he has no issues chewing unless the food is too big. He is getting a lot better with walking outside, and going to the bathroom outdoors. He likes to be close to you and cuddle, and he will follow you. He's a big cuddler. He is also a big fan of burrowing under blankets. 

Cazz is still learning how to be a dog, we haven't seen him play with toys yet, as he is very skittish and scared of fast movement - he wont chase or go after them if they're thrown.  Because of that, a home with active young children wouldn't be recommended. He is currently wearing a belly band as he has a history of marking.  Good news though! He's only had one accident indoors when he first came into foster care and has been fine since. A home with a yard would be ideal for him so he can go out as he pleases or when he needs to. 

Cazz is not a fan of the cold and he's working on getting used to wearing a sweater outside, that being said the colder it is outside the less he wants to move, he would need a spot where he can go potty indoors during the winter or a spot in the yard that's free of snow so he can at least feel the grass. 

This cutie patootie would need someone that can take him everywhere or works from home. He is not barky. He can get protective of his chosen person, so a home without another dog or a family with another older low energy dog that will allow him to have his own space would be best suited for Cazz.

Are you his people?

McLOVIN  is being fostered in Brantford, ON.

Meet McLovin. Male, terrier mix, 4.5 pounds. 

This is Wrens brother and he is a bit more reserved than his socialite sissy. He is so sweet, loving and adores attention. His mom is tall and apx 13 pounds. He will be apx 12 pounds fully grown, he has both little terrier tuffs of fur and longer soft wisps , we do not know what he is mixed with. 

We do know he is adorable and sweet as pie full of love and ready for his forever family. 

PACO TACO is currently being fostered in London, ON.

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 that we are working on.  He does not destroy anything though and is ok to be left roaming the house when alone. He also doesn’t like to be cuddled, but wants to be with you whenever possible.

Paco walks very well on a leash. He absolutely loves going for walks. He likes to mark his territory, so may need diapers if he isn’t watched to discourage the behavior. He holds his potty all night.  He will sometimes sleep in bed under the covers and sometimes sleeps on his own.

Paco is good with cats and laid back dogs but not the best with dominant dogs. He wants to be in charge and let everyone know it. He LOVES playing with other dogs once they are introduced and has learned to play with toys. He would do well with another dog or cat in his home he can love. Paco has some resource guarding when it comes to food.  He has to fed separately from other animals.  He also needs to be watched when around any human food as he guards that against other animals as well.  He would do fine with well mannered older children.  No young children please because of his resource guarding.

He is also VERY barky once he settles in and gets comfortable, so no apartments or homes where noise would disturb neighbors.

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

WISHBONE is currently being fostered in LONDON, ONTARIO.
 

Let me introduce you to Wishbone!  He is approx. 3 yrs and 18.3 lbs.  He is a sweet, cuddly and loveable Jack Russell mix who loves sleeping next to people.  He was a Canadian owner surrender.  It is essential to research the Jack Russel terrier breed to make yourself familiar with their traits and typical behavior. 

He had a complicated neuter due to undescended testicle and a hernia and cherry eye surgery.  Wishbone also had an ear infection in both ears. Since being in care it has been noted that his ears are prone to infection.  The vet suspects it may be an allergy of some kind

Wishbone will sometimes bark when he hears unknown noises, and he will let you know when someone is at the door, or if he needs something.  He is not a destructive chewer. He will chew his own toys, but he will destroy softer toys very quickly. His energy level varies and can depend on home environment. If his forever home has too many things going on, it would stimulate him causing him to be more hyper. However, if the home is quiet, he will be a quiet dog and choose to sleep most of the day. Currently, he stays in a crate while his foster is at work.  However, prefers to sleep with his human in bed all night.

Wishbone is good with other dogs, but has NOT been tested with small dogs. He is currently living with a 55 lbs dog and gets along very well. He would do best with a dog his size or bigger OR as an only dog.  Wishbone will chase cats, so NO cats in the home please.

He has NOT been tested with kids.  Well mannered and dog savvy children over 15 yrs is recommended. 

Wishbone does require calming meds when going to the veterinarian.  He has some anxiety with vet visits and requires these meds to allow the vets to handle him.  It is also best for nail trims to be done at the vet.

Wishbone does not like being picked up and needs to be approached slowly.  He may nip under certain circumstances, but it is very preventable as long as he can see your hands approaching.  For example, touching his body without warning while he is sleeping may startle him.

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

Meet Sparkles and Yoda -  a dynamic duo residing in a foster home in Georgetown, Ontario, originally surrendered together by their owner in Texas are ready to venture on their happily ever-after together!  They are ready to bring joy and companionship to their forever home. 

Yoda, a charming 8-9 year-old 12 lbs Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix, is ready to find her forever home. She LOVES playing with her sister Sparkles, with whom she shares a beautiful bond. Yoda is eager to experience the love and security of a new home, ideally with Sparkles by her side. Despite being a tripod and having some cataract cloudiness, Yoda remains a gentle and affectionate companion. She's good with cats and dogs, but prefers a home without small children. With patience and time, Yoda will warm up to her new family, revealing her sweet and loving nature.

Sparkles, an 8-year-old, 12 lb dog, is a friendly and well-mannered companion who has made significant progress in potty training and gets along well with other animals and children. Although she experiences separation anxiety, the right owner can help her overcome this challenge. 

Our goal is to find a loving home for Sparkles and Yoda together, where they can thrive and live happily ever after.

Must/Must not haves - a securely and fully fenced yard is needed and NO apartments please due to barking from separation anxiety.

Fun Fact - Sparkles gets too excited during play - you will need to keep your face away from hers, or she will nip out of excitement.

BARBIE is currently being fostered in Milton, ON

Barbie’s paperwork says 2 but I would say 2-4, she is underweight at 6.8 pounds (should be 8ish lbs), tall and skinny. She is settling in and becoming more comfortable with us now and she has even started giving me kisses. She is still a bit stiff in my arms but loves to snuggle next to me on the couch. She is pretty vocal & barks a lot at all of the comings and goings in my house. She would be much better in a quiet household. She is my shadow and follows me everywhere. 

Barbiee can be quite protective of me and has snapped at my other dog a couple of times. I feel she would be better suited as an only dog. She seems to be ok with my cat and does not pay much attention to him. She is a picky eater but she is eating well - she likes to nibble throughout the day, rather than eat her meal all at once. She likes her kibble but would prefer to pick at it on the floor. She gets very excited for treats and will get up on her hind legs and spin around. She walks well on a leash so far and loves to go for walks. She is not shy of people at all and gets very excited and barky. She has a very loud bark so apartment living may not be suitable. She really only barks at my other animals and when people come and go, or when one of my other dogs starts barking. She sleeps all night in her crate. 

 ** Medical update - crystals were found in urine.  Nothing to do now, monitor for symptoms of straining to pee, bloody or pink urine.  She is also on pain meds for Pancreatitis.  We are hoping not long term - may only be for flare ups *** 

Barbie is a very fun and quirky pup with a lot of energy. She is still learning how to live in a home and be a pet and have people to love her. Once she gets the hang of this, I feel like she will settle down and maybe even become a lap dog.

DEMI is currently being fostered in TEXAS.

Demi is apx 3-4 years apx 7.5 pounds.

As you can see her from her older pics, she has gained weight and is looking very healthy. 

Demi, the cat dog. 

Demi was rescued from very very bad hoarding situation where she was confiscated for cruelty, with her babies, in a cement outdoor shelter. All of her babies died within the first 24 hours. Demi is a sad case but her fosters have never given up on her. 

We have had Demi since February. She still does not “need “ or ask for human attention but likes to follow you around, be a part of the family. She will sit next to you and she LOVES her foster fursiblings.

She will not walk on leash and harness still and needs a fenced yard.

Demi does have good potty manners, taking in mind her foster is retired and home all day so she gets to go in and out several times a day. She is very quiet and demure but has a silly side. She still will not let her fosters pick her up and will run from them.  You have to kind of corner her to pick her up and she freezes, but she doesn't bite and is not aggressive. 

Demi was basically feral when we brought her in and her strides are slow going but nonetheless, she is indeed making them. 

We are hoping to find her the perfect home that will just let Demi be Demi and come around in her own time. 

EMRI is currently being fostered in Texas

Emri is apx 4-8 months old and 7.5 pounds. Ellie is her mama, Ellie is only 9 pounds but we do not know who dad is. Emri is 3x bigger than her siblings, and the most shy and nervous of the group. She is very skittish, timid and quiet. Emri will be a tall girl and apx 15-16 pounds fully grown.

Emri is a superduper sweet, very submissive girl and she just needs a patient loving family to call her own. She needs a home that can work with her on her confidence and socializing her. Emri is still young and she will certainly come out of her shell given a great family and some gentle guidance. She is great with other animals and gentle older children. I think very hyper large dogs or very hyper toddlers may scare the bajesus out of her. She is an old soul but does warm up and play.

Emri would really like another dog in the home for companionship. Emri really leans on the other dogs and is a monkey see monkey do. She would not do well as an only dog.

Emri may be a little puppy project, but she is worth every ounce of energy 

BABY RUTH is currently being fostered in Port Severn, ON

Meet Baby Ruth!   Apx 8 yr , 12.5 pounds and all finished her  heartworm treatment.  She is ready for her happy fur-ever after. Very friendly and sweet, social. From a hoarding situation but she must have been in the house because she is super social . She may regress with potty manners initially when in her new home.  Patience and consistency will help her remember where to do her business. 

Baby Ruth is not a fan of the crate and will cry.  She much prefers to sleep in her own dog baled on the floor beside you. In the mornings she will let you know when she needs to go outside to do her business by whining. Thus sweet girl needs help to learn leash manners.  She wants to do the right thing… but is not a fan of being on a leash, and will back out of her harness. She will need a fenced yard.

Baby Ruth  does ok with dog experienced cats and other dogs her size.  She would be just as happy as an only dog, with regular socialization visits. She has yet to show interest in playing with toys or other dogs.  She just appears happy to co-exist. Due to her timid temperament, loud noises scare her (vacuuming, doors closing abruptly, etc). She is an enthusiastic eater and enjoys her treats.  She has not year barked in foster care. She will do best in a home with no stairs.  

Baby Ruth wants (and DESERVES) all the love and cuddles, as she has been through a lot. l (heart worm treatments and numerous litters is what we know 

LULU LEMON  is being fostered in Trenton, ON.

Lulu Lemon is apx 5-6 years old and weighs 10.3 pounds. 

Lulu came in with three babies in tow. It is now time for Lulu to be the baby of the family.

She does appear to have signs of a bit of arthritis and is a tad bowlegged . She is otherwise a healthy girl that is very loving. She wants to be with her people as much as possible.

Lulu is great with other dogs, but she would also be fine as an only dog as long as her person was home often. She is fine with cats and as well with well mannered children. Lulu is a Velcro dog.  Always on your lap or by your side. She walks on leash and harness, has good potty manners here at the ranch, is very social and adores attention and affection. She is not a fan of being kenneled.

Lulu has clearly spent most of her life not well cared for. She came in skinny , boney with a dull coat, and sad eyes that tell a story. She really would love a home, a family, a bed and lots of cuddles. She is pretty chill , quiet and calm but will fuss in a kennel. 

Please consider giving Lulu her second chance, her happily ever after. 

LEO is currently being fostered in Toronto, ON.

Leo aka Leo the Lion. Leo is apx 9-12 years old and a tiny 5.5 pounds. He does need to gain a little weight so 6 pounds would be perfect. He had a dental and has no teeth left, he came to us with severe dental disease. 

Leo is super sweet 90% of the time but when he he feels uncomfortable or unsafe he may growl, especially at strangers, but it does not take Leo long to make friends.  He has a quirky personality. He will go up to a stranger and want attention and then while a stranger is petting him, he is also growling at the same time 😂 that is when we call him Leo the Lion  . He tries to act big and bad but is a giant baby. He is a funny boy that needs a family with a good sense of humor, please remember he has no teeth ;) 

Leo sleeps a lot and loves his naps! He can some days be a picky eater so he does need some wet food options he also loves scrambled eggs and chicken or fresh pet.  Leo may mark for a day or two and use  a belly band for a couple days is recommended but he actually has really good potty manners once he gets the naughty marking out of his system . He is in our break room area  and he never potties in on anything in there. It is just the  initial new space. 

Leo will walk on leash and harness . Is not a big barker, and he LOVES blankies. He burritos himself inside all the blankets. Leo is actually an insecure love bug who was surrendered to the rescue and spent two days straight crying for his mom to come back. He really needs his forever person to love him for him, to realize he has some emotional scars, and that he would love to be the little prince of the house, someone's forever baby. He is a really easy kid and would be great for someone that works from home because  he is quiet and sleeps almost all day.

Leo does love the sunshine and prancing in the yard but most of his day are spent napping and he loves a good cuddle session. He is 120% lap baby. 

ANADORA  is currently being fostered in Waterloo, ON.

Anadora is apx 1.5 years young , and 7.8 pounds. Very dainty , slender and tall. Tiny bone structure so no toddlers please. 

Anadora is shy and skittish at first, but she does not have a mean bone in her body. It takes her couple days to get used to a new person and she may try to cower when you pick her up or shake because she is scared but she doesn’t run away from you or act feral,  she is just extremely shy and unsocialized. 

She does not walk well on a leash but we are practicing, this is going to take some time and training. She is fearful on a leash and will try to run or dart if there is a loud noise. She is young and with love, confidence building and socializing, she will become more confident on walks. A fenced yard would be beneficial.

Anadora is really good at using a potty pad in the meantime. She is a sweet girl and great with cats, dogs and well mannered older children. 

Anadorais a gem, just needs a little polishing.

MOON is currently being fostered in Texas.

Moon has really grown a lot since being at the rescue. She was part of a huge hoarding situation that we have been helping with since October. Moon is approximately a year and a half old and apx 13.5 pounds tall and slender, all white.

Moon had lived her entire life outdoors. She has never been inside of a home. 

Moon is slowly learning how to be a real dog. She is doing pretty good and starting to walk on leash and harness, but still needs some encouragement and is a little scared of this new endeavor. 

She loves cats, kids and other dogs. She loves people and really wants attention but it takes her a bit to get used to new people and new surroundings. She does not have a mean bone in her body, she never tries to bite. She is just very skittish and new situations.

It does not take Moon long to warm up and show you her sunny side. She is an absolute gem. A fenced yard would really be best for now or a very patient and experienced adopter to keep her safe and secure on attempted walks and potty breaks. 

Could Moon be part of your family?

EDRICK  is currently being fostered in Texas.

Edrick is approximately 4 to 8 months old and 5 pounds. He is the only boy of the litter and is a total cuddle bug. Edrick is funny, cute and a little quirky. His mother is Ellie who is 9 pounds but we do not know dad. He will probably be about 12 pounds tall and slender fully grown.

Edrick is very shy at first, but he does open up and become playful. He very much loves his siblings and other dogs. He is great with dogs, cats and well mannered children. It would be wonderful if he could have a fur sibling in the home that is a bit more outgoing and social so that Edrick could learn to follow along.

Edrick and his siblings are very skittish at first, but they will certainly learn to be a loving family member in no time. He is very submissive , shy and quiet. Once Endrick comes out of his shell, he is a playful, silly , goober of a little puppy. He needs a family willing to socialize him and help him gain some confidence. He is a cutie patootie. Seriously look at his face  

Could Edrick  be part of your family?

MOOSE is currently being fostered in Maple, ON.

Moose is one of the favorites here at the ranch. He is just a chill little dude and we all love this little old man. He is so quiet and calm. 7-9 years old and 10.2 pounds. He was from a very bad hoarding situation that we have been helping since last October. Moose has never been inside of a home. 

Moose is just a soulful sweet guy, he wants to love and receive love. It takes him a minute to get to know new people and feel comfortable and safe with them, be he really wants a family so badly. Moose does not have a mean bone in his body. Once he warms up to you, he will walk on leash and harness and follow your lead. He will need a belly band for the first few weeks in his new home but he learns fast and I think he would potty train quickly, but he does mark new places. 

Moose needs someone to give him a chance. Ten years outside is too long. He needs to know what a family is, what security feels like. 

Moose is so happy here at the ranch and although I know he will be nervous nelly for a few days in his new life, the best is yet to come for this lovable boy. He needs a patient loving family that will give him a second chance.

TOFFEE  is currently being fostered in Milton, ON. 

Meet Sweet Toffee! She is approximately 10 months - 1 year old & a tall/slender 13 lbs. 

Toffee has made a lot of progress in her foster home over the last 2 months. She is such a joy to foster! She will need a patient adopter who understands that she needs a little bit of time to warm up to you but once she warms up, she is the most loving, loyal, happy pup! She is unsure of strangers entering the home and will bark/be skittish at first but after a short time, she will curiously approach with a wagging tail, wanting to sniff you. She adores her people and loves affection from those she knows. She loves to snuggle. She LOVES other dogs! Her favourite thing to do is play with the dogs in her foster home. She needs a home where she has at least 1 other playful dog in the home. Dogs really help with her confidence and bring her comfort. She currently lives with 3 other dogs and loves them all. 

Toffee is fully crate trained for overnight - she knows the routine and will put herself to bed in there (although she really loves to cuddle up in bed next to you before crate time and would certainly love to stay in the human bed all night, if her adopter wants that). She does well staying home alone with her foster dog siblings. She is happy as long as she is with them. For the times she is crated during the day, she has gotten a lot more comfortable and will settle almost immediately now. She walks great on leash (she can still get overwhelmed if there is a lot of commotion, so living in a busy city would not be ideal for her). She is doing great with house training, loves toys, and loves doing zoomies in the snow in the backyard. Toffee would benefit from a fenced yard. She is an excellent work from home buddy - she quietly naps in her dog bed. Toffee really is an exceptional dog who is bravely learning to trust humans and really just wants to be loved, she fits in wonderfully with her foster pack, and I know she will continue to thrive in her forever home. 

Toffee is so deserving of love and stability. She absolutely thrives with structure and reassurance. Her forever home will be so lucky to have this beautiful girl as part of their family.

RICKY is currently being fostered in Markham, ON. 

Ricky is the happiest, fun, sweet, gentle, and loving 30lb 2 yrs old  dog who gets along with everyone—people, dogs, and good with cats. He loves the outside and really enjoys going to the dog park to play fetch, Ricky rarely barks but when does, it's all out of excitement and not aggression. He’s calm and easygoing, loves to snuggle after playtime, and would thrive in a home where he can have a buddy to play with and relax alongside. Ricky is fantastic with kids, even those who are a bit too grabby, and he's working on not jumping up with excitement to give kisses. He is working on enjoying walks and will ine day be an ideal walking or jogging companion.  He also loves to curl up and nap in the car or on the couch. 

Ricky loves his treats more than anything and has had a couple of instances where he has been snarky with other dogs when receiving them.  Receiving treats separate from other dogs and a chance to eat alone at meal time may be best.   

At 30 lbs, he is a great dog. You think he's a little puppy sometimes and he is also very well crate trained, sleeping peacefully at night or when left alone. 

Ricky is a social butterfly who loves meeting new people and would do well in a home with a backyard where he can enjoy running around, especially in the snow! He may be a good candidate for a home with another dog that is chill, or in a home on his own, but would have regular access to play with other dogs. 

** If not exercised regularly, he will become more barky.  No apartments please. **

This affectionate, playful boy is looking for a forever family where he can shower everyone with love and snuggles.

GRETA is currently being fostered in Texas. 

 Greta is apx 1.5 years young , and 15.5 pounds. Short and chunky, this is Anadora’s sister even though they look very different.

Greta is shy and skittish at first, but she does not have a mean bone in her body. It takes her couple days to get used to a new person and she may try to cower when you pick her up or shake because she is scared but she doesn’t run away from you or act feral,  she is just extremely shy and unsocialized. 

She does not walk well on a leash, this is going to take some time and training. She is fearful on a leash and will try to run or dart if there is a loud noise. A fully fenced yard would be beneficial.

Greta is young and with love, confidence building and socializing, she will become more confident on walks. Greta is really good at using a potty pad in the meantime. She is a sweet girl and great with cats, dogs and well mannered older kids.

Could Greta be part of your family?
