My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

💛 Name: Carlo
💛 Age: 10
💛 Breed: poodle mix
💛 Weight: 22 lb
💛 Fostered in: Toronto
💛 Ideal family: loving, kind family who is home often



November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month and while November may be almost over, it’s still the perfect time to welcome a senior dog into your life — especially one as wonderful as CARLO. At 10 years old and 22lbs, this sweet poodle mix has all the best qualities that make senior dogs so special. Carlo is gentle, steady, and easy to love. He gets along well with other dogs - cats are unknown but we think he will be fine with his calm nature. He enjoys being outside, and walks nicely on a leash. He does reasonably well with stairs, and while he’s still getting used to housetraining, he’s eager to please and making progress. That said, as we age some of us have to go more often so Carlo may need support in that regard.

Carlo is not super active, preferring a calmer pace and a cozy spot near his people. In fact, he’s a true Velcro dog who loves being close and soaking up every bit of affection. He has quickly developed a bond (aka obsession) with his foster mom but is friendly to others he meets. He seems to have a slight preference towards women but if approached in the right way by men, he is just fine.



Senior dogs bring a sense of calm, gratitude, and companionship that’s hard to match, and Carlo is ready to share all of that with a forever family. If you’ve been considering adopting a senior pup, Carlo is the perfect reminder that the best things in life only get better with time.

As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details! An application for me can be found at www.justpaws.ca.

Just Paws is located in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. We do not adopt out of province or country.

Please note that although many of our dogs get along with children, we are not able to adopt to any household with kids under the age of 8 years old. This is a stipulation of our insurance and is not a reflection on suitability of the potential adopter.

More about this rescue

Our mission is to rescue and rehome unwanted, abandoned, abused and unloved pets that find themselves alone and frightened in shelters. These animals give unconditional love and should receive the same love back. Unfortunately there is a need and while ever there is a need we will be there to help. Our long term goal is to build towards the opening of our own shelter and be able to help with behavioral issues, special needs, and to offer a haven to less adoptable pets. We are always very thankful for any pet related donations to assist the animals in our care
