Story
Meet Bairn, an energetic and enthusiastic dog in search of an active, confident owner. Bairn has a zest for life and loves to stay busy, whether it’s going for runs, long walks, swimming, or cuddling with his favorite people. He thrives on learning new things and is a quick learner—definitely a smart cookie! Bairn is reactive to new people, other dogs, and some vehicles, so he will need to be walked with a muzzle as a precaution. However, his reactivity can be managed with consistent training, energy-draining activities, keeping a safe distance from triggers, and positive reinforcement for good behavior. When his mind is engaged and his energy is properly channeled, Bairn is much more balanced and in control. This wonderful boy will need a dedicated owner who is committed to continuing his training and giving him the structure he needs. While Bairn may not be immediately friendly with new people, he just needs time and slow, controlled introductions to build trust. Once he bonds with you, he’ll show you his goofy, lovable side. Bairn is looking for a home with a fully fenced yard, where he can thrive in a calm and structured environment. He would do best in a home without small children or other dogs. With patience and understanding, Bairn will prove to be the best companion you could ask for!

Story
George is a two-year-old male, roughly 45 pounds. He is a cross of some kind, perhaps between a border collie and some sort of hound? He is dignified, polite, intelligent, good-natured, loves to run and play and have his belly rubbed: he shows affection quietly, by coming and placing his head against you. He is neutered, microchipped and house-trained. He is very good with people, and generally with other dogs, at least off-leash. He can panic, however, on-leash, if he gets in close quarters with another dog. We think he must have broken his left hind foot at some point in the past: it has healed, and he can run very fast on it, but occasionally favours it, and has begun to develop arthritis. He currently lives with 2 dogs listed on our site: Pipo and Karti. George and Pipo are especially good together.  George's ideal home would be one with people who are calm and are experienced with large dogs. One where he's allowed on the couch and bed. His foster home is in  midtown Toronto.  Due to time constraints, we cannot respond to every email asking for more information on a dog.

Story
Meet Bandit! At just 10 months old, Bandit has been adopted twice and, unfortunately, returned both times. As disheartening as returns can be, we believe wholeheartedly in standing behind the animals in our care and doing everything we can to help them find the right match. And in Bandit's case, his returns have given us even more insight into what makes this young guy tick.You see, Bandit is a Heeler mix through and through, and he is proud of it! Smart as a whip, confident, curious, determined, and always ready to figure out what you're up to!When presented with a new boundary or rule, Bandit may politely question it in true Heeler fashion. He likes to know why. And if you aren't confident in your answer, he may decide he's the one making the rules. Once calm, confident, and consistent handling is established, however, Bandit absolutely can and does oblige.Because of this, Bandit needs a positive, confident handler who understands working breeds and is prepared to provide structure, consistency, training, and plenty of mental stimulation. He's an incredibly smart young dog, and keeping that busy brain working is just as important as keeping his puppy body exercised.While he waits for his forever family to walk through our doors, we're actively working with Bandit to keep his working mind stimulated and continue building on his skills. He is a fantastic pup who is incredibly deserving of a home that understands him, appreciates his breed traits, and is ready to help him grow into the amazing adult dog we know he can be.Have another dog at home? Bring them along! We'd love to facilitate a meet-and-greet and see if these two might be a match. Bandit has had a couple of false starts. Maybe the third time really is the charm.

Story
Pipo (pronounced Peepo) is a 5-year-old male, roughly 40 pounds. He appears to be a cross of some kind, perhaps husky and border collie. He is energetic, shy, bouncy, highly alert: just the gentlest, sweetest disposition and again, very affectionate. Pipo loves nothing more than to snuggle on the couch, or in bed. He is neutered, microchipped and 95 per cent house-trained -- but can occasionally lapse if left alone in the house too long. He is very good with people and dogs. His main issue is with cyclists: if they come near him he will lunge suddenly towards them, not aggressively but just out of excitement. His recall is not great and he likes to jump, so any off-leash any off-leash activity, at least in the short term, MUST be in a fully-enclosed space, with a high fence.  He currently lives with 2 dogs and would do well with another neutral or meek dog in the home. Pipo is quite sensitive and needs a very gentle home. His ideal home would be one where he is the centre of attention, where he can cuddle on the couch and bed. A home with someone who is experienced with rescued dogs and reactivity, and only uses positive reinforcement. His foster home is in  midtown Toronto.  Due to time constraints, we cannot respond to every email asking for more information on a dog. Please carefully review the bio for the dog and our adoption process https://www.speakingofdogs.com/adoption/adoption-process/.  If you are still interested in adopting, please fill out the adoption application form at the bottom of that page.September 23, 2026, 8:55 pm
