Story
Lua / Female / 2 years old / 49 lbs / Boxer Mix / Good with calm dogs (male dogs preferred) / Good with cats / Good with older, dog-savvy children / From Mexico / Fostered in Warkworth Lua’s story began in Mexico, where her mother was found tied to a fence on a vacant lot without shelter. She gave birth to four puppies before our rescue partners stepped in, cut her chain, and brought the family to safety. One of those puppies was Lua — and today she’s grown into a vibrant, affectionate dog with a big personality and a heart full of love. Over the past several months, Lua has been working closely with a professional boarding and training environment where she has made wonderful strides in confidence, manners, and trust. The shy, uncertain puppy she once was has blossomed into a playful, loving companion who adores her people and thrives on connection. Lua is bouncy, bubbly, and full of personality — her foster lovingly says she has an “invisible trampoline.” She loves praise and affection and will happily soak up attention from the people she trusts. She’s incredibly loyal and happiest when she’s spending time with her humans. Once Lua warms up to you, she is extremely affectionate and playful, often wiggling with excitement and happily seeking out attention and praise. She has made great progress meeting new people, including men, and while she may still take a little time to build trust with strangers, she continues to show how capable she is of forming positive new relationships. Lua is also a smart and curious girl who enjoys enrichment activities like nose work and training games, and the way to her heart is definitely through dehydrated beef heart treats. In the yard she loves exploring and has even been known to entertain herself chasing frogs around. Lua has shown she can bond beautifully with calm, balanced dogs, particularly male dogs who respect her space. She could thrive in a home with another well-balanced dog or as the only dog, as long as she continues to enjoy structured social opportunities such as pack walks or playdates. Lua would do best in a quiet suburban or rural home rather than an apartment or condo. She has natural guardian instincts and will alert bark when she notices something new, which makes busier environments with shared hallways or elevators more challenging for her. She has made great progress with impulse control and manners, including improved greeting behaviour and calmer mealtimes (she no longer needs a slow feeder!). She sleeps comfortably in her crate overnight and settles well into a routine. Lua could live with older, dog-savvy children (teenagers) who understand how to respect a dog’s space and signals. Like many sensitive dogs, she thrives in a calm home with patient adopters who will continue supporting her confidence and training. What makes Lua truly special is how far she has come. With the right guidance, patience, and love, she has blossomed into a loyal, joyful companion who deeply bonds with her people. Lua is ready to continue her journey in a committed home that will celebrate her progress and keep helping her grow. Due to Lua's unique circumstances, her adoption fee is sponsored by Fetch + Releash. Prospective adopters must commit to attending training sessions with her post-adoption with a certified R+ dog trainer to ensure a successful transition.

Story
Juniper is a sweet, 9 year old female mixed breed dog. She had a rough start to life as a stray, suffered and overcame heartworm and has shown everyone who meets her how smart, gentle and funny is truly is. Although she has come so far, she still carries a lot of the baggage and anxiety from her earlier days. Junie loves to take naps, relax, stretch her legs and look forward to things in her usual routine. Walks, people and squirrel watching, stretching out on the couch. She also loves to be around friends, go to the pet store, the hardware store or Starbucks. She adores car rides and playing in sprinklers. Sometimes those fun outings can be overstimulating and cause her to become stressed and can also be stressful for her human friends. Her current foster parents have found out that taking time to introduce her to any new situation- allowing her to see (and safely sniff) a new place, keeping the first visit short and pairing it with treats, praise and patience can make a huge difference for her. She has time and time again shown that with each visit to a slightly less routine place, she becomes more comfortable and relaxed. And yes, we think her new adopters may even need to do this with their neighborhood coffee shop. Adopters will also need to pre-plan for potentially high stress situations where Junie may feel the need to act first and ask questions later before she understands what is happening. Asking people to give her space and giving her breaks when she needs them are very important for Junie. The great thing is: Junie enjoys being around friends in a predictable way such as having her mat to sit on with a chew treat when she needs a break from being a social butterfly.

Story
Meet Braun! (case # 12433) Meet Braun, a sweet 6-month-old American Bulldog mix with the gentlest soul and so much love to give. This handsome boy came to the shelter as a stray, frightened and unsure of the world around him. Staff noticed what appeared to be old bite wounds on his face and head, and it’s clear that life hasn’t always been kind to him. Despite his difficult start, Braun’s heart remains soft, hopeful, and ready to trust again. When meeting new people, Braun can be a little shy and cautious at first. But once he realizes he is safe, his true personality begins to shine. Before long, he is leaning in for affection, curling up close for cuddles, and soaking up every bit of love he can get. Underneath his timid exterior is a deeply affectionate puppy who simply wants to feel secure and loved. At just six months old, Braun is still learning about the world and is currently in an important developmental stage where patience and positive experiences matter greatly. He will need a calm, understanding family willing to move at his pace and help him build confidence through kindness, consistency, and encouragement. Watching Braun slowly come out of his shell and discover that the world can be a safe place will be an incredibly rewarding journey. Braun is also still learning how to interact with other dogs and should never be rushed or forced into social situations. Gentle introductions, positive experiences, and giving him space when he needs it will help him continue growing into a confident companion. He is also new to basic obedience and leash walking, so ongoing reward-based training will be essential to help him succeed. This sweet boy may need a little extra patience and understanding, but the love he has to offer is truly special. For the family willing to invest time, compassion, and guidance into helping him heal and grow, Braun will become a loyal best friend and devoted companion for years to come. If you are looking for a puppy whose heart is just waiting for someone to believe in him, Braun may be the perfect match. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Braun has an appointment to be neutered on May 28th. He will be ready to go to his forever home after this surgery. Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Story
Meet Rolley — professional land shark, wrinkle enthusiast, and future couch-stealing expert. (case #12532) At just two months old, Rolley is already mastering the fine art of looking innocent while actively chewing on your fingers. Likely a bully breed cross, this chunky little guy is expected to grow into a medium-to-large-sized dog… eventually. Right now, he’s still mostly wrinkles, oversized paws, confidence, and questionable life choices. Rolley approaches every day like it’s a full-contact sport. He’s bold, headstrong, endlessly curious, and currently believes human hands are the superior chew toy despite being offered perfectly acceptable alternatives. He’s also at that magical puppy stage where his brain is soaking up everything like a sponge — the good, the bad, and the habits you accidentally laugh at once that become permanent. This means Rolley will need an adopter who understands that puppies don’t magically “grow out of things” without guidance. Training, consistency, structure, patience, socialization, redirection, repetition, and approximately 47 reminders a day are all part of the package deal. The adorable wrinkles come free with purchase. Puppyhood is a lot of work: Tiny shark teeth included Sleep schedules optional Zoomies inevitable Selective hearing already developing Manners sold separately Rolley is going to thrive with someone committed to teaching him how to be a well-rounded dog. Positive reinforcement, clear boundaries, and consistency will be key for this smart and stubborn little dude. Underneath all the sass and mouthiness is a loyal, goofy puppy who’s going to make someone laugh every single day. If you’re ready for muddy paws, stolen socks, endless entertainment, and the rewarding chaos of raising a puppy properly, Rolley is ready to wiggle his way into your life — wrinkles first. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Rolley is too young to be neutered. His adopters will need to be willing to return him to a Hamilton clinic for this surgery, which is included in the adoption fee. Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Story
Another bright star from our constellation-themed litter of seven, Dorado is ready to chart a course straight into your heart. He came into the shelter with his mom (a Malinois mix) and his littermates. With a mix of looks across the litter — some bully-type, some boxer-like, even a few fluffier siblings, Dorado brings his own unique style to this cosmic crew. At just 2 months old, Dorado is already a confident, go-all-in kind of puppy. He isn’t afraid of anything and lives life at full speed — running, rumbling, and playing hard before happily seeking out affection and attention from his people. He’s outgoing, stable during handling, and thrives on interaction, making him a fun and engaging companion for someone ready to keep up with him. Dorado is both food motivated and toy motivated, which is a dream combination for training. Whether you’re working with treats or a favorite tug toy, he’s eager to learn and ready to engage. With consistency and positive reinforcement, he has excellent potential to grow into a well-trained and responsive adult. That said, Dorado is not a low-maintenance puppy. With his Malinois mix background, adopters should expect a smart, driven, and energetic dog who will need: Daily physical exercise (not just a quick walk!) Mental enrichment like training sessions, puzzle toys, and structured play Clear structure, boundaries, and consistent expectations Early and ongoing socialization in a controlled, positive way He will do best with a confident handler who can be firm but fair, guiding him with patience and consistency while channeling his energy into appropriate outlets. Like all puppies, Dorado will also need help navigating the basics of growing up: House training and crate training will take time and routine Teething means lots of chewing—he’ll need proper outlets Puppy manners (like no jumping or nipping) will need to be taught Ongoing training is essential, especially for a strong, intelligent dog Dorado is looking for an active, patient family that understands the commitment of raising a puppy—especially one who will likely grow into a larger, powerful dog with working-breed traits. Experience with high-energy or working breeds is a bonus, but dedication to training and enrichment is a must. In return, you’ll get a loyal, playful, and driven companion who will bring energy, fun, and endless personality into your life . If you’re ready to match his pace and help guide him to become his best self, Dorado is ready to be your adventure partner. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Dorado is too young to have certain procedures done, including a neuter. His adopters must be willing to return him for this surgery, which is included in the adoption fee. Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario
