Hello, I'm Benny, a delightful Yorkie who's been told I'm quite the looker!
At 2 years old, I'm bubbling with energy and always ready for fun. I embody all the classic traits of a Yorkie – I'm lively, spirited, and love to take charge, but in the most adorable way, of course.
Whether it's indoors or outdoors, count me in for a game of tug or fetch!
I'm a social butterfly, making friends with cats, dogs, and humans alike. However, I do have a sensitive side and can feel a bit lonely if left alone for too long. I thrive on attention and routine, and I'm searching for a forever home with a parent who can provide just that.
While I may sometimes get a little nibbly -resource guarding my special treats and loved ones- with the right guidance and affection, I'm sure to blossom into a well-behaved companion. I'm a quick learner and eager to pick up new tricks and manners.
If you're ready to shower me with love and patience, I'm ready to be your loyal and charming companion for life. Let's embark on this journey together!

Adoption involves an interview, a meeting and home visit (in person after Covid, currently virtual), vet references, and an adoption fee.
Our greatest concern is the animals that we care for, and matchmaking is what we do best..

Most of our cats and all of our dogs are cared for in foster homes. They are not available to meet until your application has been started, you have been interviewed and approved.
Some of our cats may be featured in the Global Pet Foods store located in Alliston, ON and in Shelburne, ON.
And we occasionally hold "meet and greet" events at PetValu, 184 Front St., Toronto, ON.
In those cases, the adoption process is the same and conducted by CompassionForPaws - NOT by the staff at the store. We never do adoptions directly from an event but applications may be tendered.

More about this rescue
We are a network of compassionate individuals that care for homeless paws, in foster homes throughout Southern Ontario, until they can find a new, permanent place to call their own.
Shelly Hawley-Yan has more than 20 years experience in rescue, and the team of Debbie Hunt, Vickie Janetos, Andrea Maenza and Dale Reilly add another several decades of combined rescue experience.
Our adoptable paws come from shelters where the animals may not have been coping with that environment, or may have been surrendered by people whose lives have changed,
All paws have been vet checked and are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
