Paws & Hearts: Sweet Pups Ready for Adoption

Paw-some Pup of the Week - Clover!

CLOVER is currently being fostered in Maple, ON. 


🐾Meet Clover, a charming little social butterfly ready to bring joy to her new family! 


Clover is two years old and 9.6 pounds, this beautiful girl is currently being fostered where she’s blossoming into a loving companion.


Rescued from a difficult hoarding situation, Clover has overcome a tough past and is now embracing a bright future. She’s friendly, well-mannered, and incredibly happy. With unique eye and coat coloring, she’s truly one of a kind! Clover has a fantastic personality, striking the perfect balance between playful and cuddly. She’s learning to be brave in new situations—loud noises and unfamiliar places can be intimidating, but with encouragement, she’s making great progress. In just a week, she’s conquered stairs! With patience and love, she’ll keep gaining confidence.


Clover loves companionship and doesn’t enjoy being alone. She’s been accompanying her foster to work daily, happily napping in her bed—but she never lets them leave the office without following behind. She’s great in the car when crated. She still needs a little puppy training, as she’s not fully pee pad trained yet and occasionally prefers hands over toys for play. But she’s learning fast, loves chasing squeaky toys, and responds beautifully to positive reinforcement.


Clover is a truly sweet, affectionate pup who will make a fantastic addition to any family. She gets along well with cats, kids, and dogs, though larger dogs should be introduced slowly. 


If you’re looking for a furry friend with a heart full of love, Clover might be your perfect match! 🐾💜

Buzz!

BUZZ is currently being fostered in Texas. 


🐾 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 Texas. 


🐾  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?❤️🐶

Saint

SAINT is currently being fostered in London, ON. 


🐾 Meet Saint – A Little Soul With a Big Heart


Saint is an energetic, loving, and spirited Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix who’s just over a year and a half old. Weighing around 11 pounds, Saint carries the charm of a little guy with the personality of a giant teddy bear. Despite being diagnosed with heartworm at such a young age, his story has taken a remarkable turn. After undergoing successful treatment, Saint made a full recovery without complications, and he’s now thriving in his foster home in Canada with zero signs of coughing.


With his new lease on life, Saint is bursting with puppy energy and a playful spirit. He’s the life of the party when playing with other dogs, but his favorite moments are when he’s curled up next to you, showering you with kisses—this little guy is an expert licker! Saint gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes, is great with kids, and even playfully chases cats and kittens—but always gently, without any harm.


Saint’s personality is a delightful mix of spunk and loyalty. He’s curious, food-motivated, smart, and quickly adapts to routines, making him a joy to train and bond with. He’s great on a leash and settles down quietly at night with his person, where he’ll likely snuggle up and sleep beside you all night long.


Although Saint loves to explore and play, he can have a bit of separation anxiety. He might cry when left alone, so he’ll thrive in a home with someone patient and willing to offer him the love and support he needs. He’s still learning to find his voice, can be a bit nippy when excited, and does well with stairs, making him ideal for both homes and apartments. While he doesn’t need a fenced yard, he loves his walks and leash time.


Saint is a gentle, loving soul who’s ready to bring endless joy to his forever family. If you’re looking for a furry companion who’s full of love, playfulness, and cuddles, Saint is the pup for you!

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! 🐾❤️

Steven

STEVEN  is  currently being fostered in Toronto, ON. 

   

🐾 Meet Steven – the quirkiest, most lovable pup!  


 Steven is an incredible pup with a heart full of love and personality. At approximately seven years old and weighing 10 pounds, he’s small but has a big presence. Following a dental procedure, Steven lost several of his adorable bottom teeth, but that only adds to his quirky charm. While he can manage softened dry food, his favorite is wet food, which he gobbles up enthusiastically.


Despite arriving at his foster home as a shy dog, Steven quickly transformed into a Velcro pup, always seeking cuddles, attention, and companionship. He wants nothing more than to be by your side, following you everywhere. His playful nature and joyful spirit make him a delightful addition to any home, and he gets along wonderfully with animals of all ages. He understands dog cues exceptionally well, making him an excellent companion for both energetic young pups and gentle senior dogs.


Steven has great potty manners and strongly prefers to go outside. While he is still learning to use pee pads, he makes an effort when needed. He is exceptionally clean, holding his potty throughout the night without issue. As he settles into life in Toronto, Steven continues to improve his leash manners, adjusting to the city’s busy environment.


While Steven would never try to bite, he may attempt to run away from unfamiliar people as a precaution. Found as a stray, he arrived at the rescue a bit skittish but has since blossomed into a confident and loving dog. After a few days of settling in, he will adjust beautifully to his new home. Because Steven enjoys the company of other dogs, we would love for him to be placed in a home with fellow furry friends who can keep him company.


Steven is an all-around wonderful dog—a gentle soul with a quirky and endearing personality. He never fails to make people smile, and he is more than deserving of his happily ever after. If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate, and entertaining companion, 


Give Steven the loving home he deserves—he's ready to bring joy, cuddles, and a whole lot of heart into your life!  🐾❤️

Hadley

HADLEY  is  currently being fostered in London,  ON. 

   

🐾  Meet Hadley – a gentle soul looking for her forever home!


Hadley is a sweet and calm 2-year-old, 13.5-pound terrier mix who is non-shedding and currently fostered in London, Ontario. She’s a quiet little lady who enjoys relaxing in a dog bed or sitting with her people for cuddles and affection. She hasn’t barked at all in her foster home and is mostly potty trained, though she can be a nervous piddler in new situations. With time to decompress and adjust, she blossoms into the most loving and affectionate pup.


Hadley is friendly with both people and dogs and is very submissive in nature. She would do well in a home with other friendly dogs or as an only dog with devoted owners. She is likely to be timid around toddlers, so a home with older, dog-savvy kids would be best. Leash walking is still a work in progress, and she will need patience and encouragement as she gets used to new surroundings.


In a secure fenced yard, Hadley loves to explore, sniff around, and play with her foster siblings. She is truly a perfect little companion, just waiting patiently for a loving family to give her a safe and happy home.


 If you're looking for a quiet, loving, and gentle dog, Hadley could be the perfect match for you🐾❤️

🐾 Meet Sparrow, a small, social, and affectionate pup 


Sparrow who is approximately 1.5–2 years old and weighs 6.5 pounds. She has a playful and slightly silly personality, forming deep bonds with her human and thriving on companionship. Sparrow loves being around people and will happily follow them from room to room, earning her the title of a true "Velcro pup." She enjoys playing with other dogs and has been both cat- and dog-tested, proving that she’s great with furry friends of all kinds.


While Sparrow is a joyful and loving companion, she does have mild separation anxiety and tends to be vocal when left alone, whining or crying for a few minutes before settling down. She does not misbehave or destroy anything—just expresses her longing for her person. She is pee pad trained, crate trained, and currently learning leash skills, proving to be a quick and eager learner.


Sparrow  loves car rides and adventures, making her an ideal travel companion. Because of her need for companionship, she would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day. Whether she’s curled up on the couch for a cuddle session or bouncing around with excitement, Sparrow is ready to bring joy to the lucky family that welcomes her.
