How to Adopt

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?

MARCO  is  currently being fostered in Southern Ontario.

Meet Marco — the Heartmelter Heeler and honourary chi!

Marco is a purebred Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) with a truly unique and handsome look — he was born with a bilateral cleft lip. This little quirk doesn’t slow him down at all! Since it’s not a cleft palate, he eats completely normally and enjoys all the treats. He just needs a bit of extra tooth-brushing in that area to keep things tidy.

At roughly 5–8 months old and 30 lbs, Marco is still growing. As a male Heeler, he’ll likely reach 30-40 lbs when fully grown. He may look a little different, but he is absolutely stunning — and even more beautiful on the inside.

Sweet, gentle, and full of love
Marco is a cuddle-loving, affectionate boy. He can be shy when meeting new people or experiencing new places, but once he feels safe, he turns into the sweetest little love bug. With patience, positive training, and lots of encouragement, Marco will blossom into the loyal, snuggly companion he was born to be.

Dog-friendly + social
Marco LOVES other dogs and makes furry friends easily. He’s friendly, loving, and always eager to play.

Potty training progress
He may do a bit of nervous peeing right now, but he’s already improving! When he needs to go, he’ll head to the door. He adores the outdoors and loves to run, explore, and play.
A fenced yard would be a dream for him — perfect for fetch, zoomies, and giving him a safe space to call his own.

A soul full of love
Marco has a huge heart, a beautiful spirit, and so much affection to give. He just wants someone to cuddle, trust, and adore forever.

If you’re looking for a special boy with endless love to share, Marco might just be “the one.”

TUESDAY  is currently being fostered in Texas.

 🐾🐾 Meet Tuesday — a fragile little soul learning what love truly feels like

Tuesday is approximately three years old and weighs just 7 pounds. She is a gentle, scared little girl who has survived a very difficult past. Tuesday came to us from a severe hoarding situation and arrived extremely feral. She wouldn’t look at anyone, kept her head buried in the corner, and shook constantly. She only felt safe enough to eat at night when no one was in the room.

With time, patience, and routine, Tuesday began to warm up. Each day she made small steps forward — eventually going outside, exploring a little, and even playing with other dogs. One of our wonderful fosters took her in, and Tuesday has continued to make steady, heart‑warming progress.

Her foster shares that Tuesday recently jumped onto her lap and allowed gentle petting without freezing, shaking, or flinching — a huge milestone for this little girl. She still barks and runs from her foster dad, and it took about two weeks for her to begin trusting. She now offers excellent eye contact, eats comfortably around the other dogs, and enjoys playing with Demi and Hazel, though she does not like rough play and will growl or snap if overwhelmed.

Potty training is still a work in progress, and Tuesday needs a very safe, secure yard, as she looks for exits and will hide if given the opportunity. In the beginning, she must not have access to places where she can disappear or wedge herself into unsafe spaces. Most importantly, Tuesday is learning that hands don’t hurt her. When someone reaches toward her, she still cowers or flinches, expecting pain — but she is slowly discovering that gentle touch can be safe.

Tuesday is available for adoption or foster‑to‑adopt to an experienced adopter. She requires a very secure fenced yard, no small children, and another social, confident dog to help guide her. With patience, understanding, and a calm environment, Tuesday will continue to blossom into the dog she was always meant to be.

🌟 Give Tuesday the safety she’s never known — and watch her learn how to love. 🌟
