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.

Juniper

Boxer

Female, 9 yrs 4 mos
Toronto, ON
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
Hi, I’m Lucky — thanks for coming to my interview! Interviewer: Lucky, tell us about yourself. Lucky: Great question. I’m a 2-year-old Lab / American Bully mix with lots of energy, a big personality, and an even bigger love for life. If there’s something happening, I want to be part of it. If there’s nothing happening… I can help fix that Interviewer: What’s a perfect day for you? Lucky: Adventures! Walks where I get to sniff everything, training time (especially if snacks are involved), and play sessions with my true love: tennis balls. Squeaky ones. Bouncy ones. If it squeaks and flies, I’m obsessed. Other toys? Meh. Tennis balls have my heart. Interviewer: Do you know any commands? Lucky: I do! I know sit and paw already—pretty impressive, right? I’m super food-motivated and really eager to learn more. I’ll admit, though, I can get excited and strong, especially on leash. That’s why continued obedience training is important for me. With consistency, structure, and positive reinforcement, I’m going to shine. Interviewer: What kind of home are you looking for? Lucky: An active one! I’d love a family who enjoys staying busy, going on outings, and including me in their daily routine. I need both mental and physical exercise every day to keep my energy balanced and my brain happy. Training + fun = my dream life. Interviewer: How do you feel about other dogs? Lucky: I came in with another dog, so having a canine buddy might help me burn off energy—but slow, supervised introductions are the way to go. I like thoughtful approaches. Interviewer: Anything adopters should know about your past? Lucky: I’m starting fresh. My past had some inconsistency—no real routine, not much structure, and a lot of figuring things out on my own. Things like house manners and crate training may be new to me or need a refresher. What I really need now is clear boundaries, predictable routines, and someone who knows dogs and wants to help me grow. Interviewer: Final thoughts? Lucky: I have so much potential. With the right person—someone patient, active, and excited about training—I’m going to be an incredible companion. If you’re ready to put in the time, energy, and love to help me be my best self…I just might be the girl for you Interview concluded. Tennis ball requested. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions 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
