Meet Cyrus - the most handsome gent with the sweetest nature, despite a tough start to life. Cyrus was rescued as a stray, scared and starving. We don't know his past, why he has half a tail, or why he shut down for so long. What we do know is that Cyrus is fully embracing his new life and so ready for a family to call his own.

Cyrus no longer hides in a corner; now he greets every new day with a wagging tail, seeking out pets and affection. He spends his days frolicking in the backyard, playing with his canine foster siblings, bouncing after toys and settling down for quiet naps. Watching him slowly shed his fears and gain confidence and trust is one of the most joyful and rewarding experiences ever! Once Cyrus is on your side, you’ve got a friend for life. 

Cyrus is still quite fearful of the leash and his foster mom continues to work on desensitizing him to this. Cyrus will need a backyard so he can get his playful energy out while he works on becoming comfortable on the leash. It would be better if he wasn’t left alone for long days as he adjusts to his new environment. He may sing his sad song to let you know he misses you, mostly when he's in his crate alone. He's comfortable being left for 4 hours a day when given free roam of the house. 


He would benefit from another playful well balanced dog to help him gain confidence and trust in his humans. Cyrus does need an experienced owner who understands timid and fearful dogs, someone who will give him space and continue to help him grow into the amazing dog he was always meant to be, and is only now getting the chance to become. 

Cyrus has truly transformed in the few weeks he's been in Canada. Could you be that special someone to give him a chance at the future he so deserves? He will be the most loving best friend you could imagine. Apply to adopt this sweet boy today! https://caninehaven.org/dog-application/

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

To adopt one of our dogs, please fill out an application here (https://caninehaven.org/dog-application/).

Although we do our best to reply to all inquiries within 48 hours, please remember we are a 100% volunteer based organization, and many of us have full time jobs outside of rescue. We appreciate your patience.

Our priority is to ensure the fit is right for both you and the dog, we will reach out to your personal and veterinarian references (if applicable), and your landlord (if applicable). A virtual video or pictures of your place are required at the time of application.

You will then be granted a private meet and greet with the dog. If after the meet and greet, you would like to proceed with adoption, we will review your application internally and with the foster and make a final decision.
