Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.OREO-JOY hails from the Northern community of Pikangikum and came south to find her forever home. She’s received her first set of vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and has been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. She’ll be getting her second vaccine and rabies included in her adoption fee but we can’t get it for until the first week of January due to our vet being closed for Christmas. She was found all alone so there’s no info on her parents and having no info on her parents means the size she’ll grow to be or her breeds are just an educated guess based on what she looks like. This sweet girl a little socialite who loves people and greets everyone with lots of tail wags and kisses. She has a very calm demeanour and loves to sit in your lap and snuggle while watching TV. She loves to play with her many toys and also chew on her chewy toys such as Nyla bones due to her teething.  OREO-JOY is crate trained and sleeps quietly in it at night and she’ll also nap in it during the day too. House training is going really well and she’s very good at letting you know when she has to go outside for a bathroom break. She loves going on walks and gets excited when she knows she’s going on one but like all puppies, she’ll race ahead of you and pull you along. She has a voracious appetite for such a little pup but it does make it easy to train her with treats as she’s always up for having some. She has very good manners and will “sit” for her meals and also take her treats “gentle.” OREO-JOY’s ideal family would be an active one that loves to go on hikes and walks plus will take her on adventures especially seeing as she travels so well in a vehicle. We would prefer her to be in a home with another dog as she’s fostered with one and just loves to play with her plus curl up on the couch with her too. She hasn’t met a cat but if there’s one in the home we do recommend a slow, monitored introduction while she’s kept leashed. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus they should be kind, loving and gentle towards animals. She does require a fenced-in yard so she can be kept safe while she has a run around and play. Puppies are cute, playful and fun but also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We do need her adopter to be in agreement to take her for puppy/obedience training to help her to become the best girl possible. Her spay is included in her adoption fee and her potential adopter must be in agreement to have her spayed by the time she’s 6 months of age. The surgery will be at the Barrie SPCA but you can use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there. In order for the rescue to do so we need the spay age  requirements to still be followed plus a copy of the procedure invoice and an up-to/date picture of her (preferably in her onsie or cone) in order to do the reimbursement. We do post the picture on our fb page along with other pets that were “fixed” in the same week.  If OREO-JOY sounds like she’ll suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet her. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 17, 2025, 11:42 pm

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
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!

Flawless

Border Collie

Female, 1 yr 10 mos
King City, ON
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Flawless was surrendered to us from an extremely neglectful situation. She spent the first few weeks in the hospital being treated for an infected wound on her paw and on a re-feeding schedule due to being emaciated. This is an experience no puppy should ever have to endure. Fast forward to now, Flawless is thriving. She is healthy as can be, her coat is luscious and she has filled out. She is ready for her forever home. She is extremely high energy, she loves to play fetch and learn new things. Flawless has been getting better with dogs with slow introductions, and instead of being fearful and reactive (as she once was) she engages to play with dogs and is very curious. She will still require slow and controlled introductions with dogs. Flawless is as sweet and cuddly as can be with people she is familiar with. She is a good listener and will follow you like your shadow. She gets extremely attached to her people. With strangers Flawless can be very reactive and wary. It takes her some time to trust people. She will require slow and cautious introductions. Her ideal home would be with someone that does not have visitors often, and when they do they are prepared to work on building relationships. It will take time and patience for her to make friends. Flawless could possibly go to a home with another dog after a few meet and greets at Dog Tales to ensure they are compatible. She would do best in an adult only home with someone that is home often.

Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart

Story
Pelusa | 40 lbs | 2 years old| Fun and affectionate personality | GTA Stop scrolling-- you just found your new best friend. And the twist? She's gorgeous! Pelusa is fun, affection and good vibes on four legs. Do you like adventures? Omg same! Do you enjoy playing with toys, balls, and sticks? Say less. Are you partial to an evening snuggle? Sign her up! Are you interested in having a faithful shadow? Is it cool if she's furry? We've got just the girl. Pelusa is a delight. She gives hugs by wrapping her arms around your legs, plays with toys like it's her paid job, and is game for pretty much anything her family wants to do. She is great on hikes and outdoor adventures, could happily come with you to pet friendly workplaces, and is also happy to chill on the couch at the end of the day. She's confident and adaptable, and responds well to direction. If you love dogs, have an active lifestyle, and are open to a loyal and slightly goofy sidekick, then this dog could light up your whole life. She's so much fun that she makes everything better just by being there. She would do well with a person or family who is energetic and home a fair bit. She's dog friendly so she'd be a great second dog, but is probably a little TOO much fun for a senior or a lower energy dog. She's kid friendly but would prefer a house with children over 10 who can appreciate her bouncy, lovable brand of play. With Pelusa in your life, your main problem will be how often you're stopped by people admiring her beautiful looks and infectious personality. This is what you sign up for when you choose such a magnetic BFF! If you think you've got the big and open heart to match Pelusa's, then please apply at the link. Please note: Matching Best Friends sweaters are not included.: https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application
