Story
Aldo is an approximately 2-3 year old chihuahua that was hit by a car in 2023 and left at the side of the road. He was so lucky to be found by a caring person who rushed him to the vet to help him. Amazingly he did not have any broken bones. Once recovered from his wounds, he needed help learning how to walk again but unfortunately did not have access to supported recovery, so he learned to drag himself around to move from place to place. This resulted in skin wounds and injuries. Since being with Mountainside, Aldo has been learning to walk and not drag. He has gone through rehabilitation to build up the strength in his hind end which was completely atrophied. With love and care from his current foster, he is encouraged to walk and is getting much stronger. He loves people so much as well as other dogs and cats. Aldo is learning to play with his friends and very much enjoys being a lap dog wherever possible. His favourite moves are chin and belly rubs.

Story
I bet the majority of us have always wanted a Steve in our life. And that Steve is most likely a super cool guy who you just want to be around because he emits goodness no matter the time of day. Steve the dog is no different than the Steve you know. He is a super cool guy, despite the past that should've been kinder to him. Steve is a loving, big soft fluff, who unlike many dogs of his breed, does not vocalize a lot. Steve is a smart, active, well-trained local dog that fell upon hard times and that resulted in a lot of fear and confusion. He was often tied with a short chain to a cinder block and left outside. The last time he had been outside for a walk was unknown. His world had become very very very small and Steve shut down. This naturally resulted in resource guarding and reactivity - which culminated in a bite when someone tried to remove food in a bowl from near him. The owners tried to surrender him to various groups but no one wanted him as a result of the bite and the only offer was euthanasia. Thankfully we at Mountainside gave Steve a chance to show us his true colors. We quickly saw that he was loving - but so scared and confused. Through months of training, exercise and monitored socialization, Steve has started to make friends and is becoming more himself as each day goes by. He has had the wonderful fortune of being in foster care and then being very loved by our boarding facility partners that have given him the incredible opportunity to meet new dogs and learn how to be a dog again. Steve is working hard on making progress through some of his issues and though he has come so far, he will need his person to continue to help him along his journey. At this time we think the best fit would be an adult only family that is home more often than not. He has lived with other dogs in the past but isn't ready for that yet. No cats as well. Steve is a stunning, kind boy who would be a perfect match for someone who is patient, and willing to put in the work to give him the best kind of life. At the end of the day, he's just Steve, a super cool guy, who deserves a super cool life.

Story
Aurora is a 2 year old 11 lb terrier/chihuhua Cross? Even Aurora is the happiest little dog on the home. She is a very athletic little dog and loves to fly around the house. Aurora would love an another dog to play with but it is not necessary. She is presently being fostered in Surrey, BC. Her foster Mom says she is very smart and adapts to a routine. She likes other dogs and is starting to love her walks. Aurora is playful and is great in the car. She likes attention and is a super affectionate girl. Expect lots of kisses once she knows you. She loves her couch cuddle time! Aurora loves her foster parents. Due to her past she is fearful of new people. She is fine on her walks but will bark and avoid new people that come into the home. It does takes a few meetings before she is comfortable with them. She is a super happy dog when she feels safe. Her whole body wiggles when she is happy. Aurora has come along way. She is a young dog and will continue to get better and better. Only families with older children due to her fears. She has not been tested with cats. Aurora is housetrained and super sweet. She has been spayed, has all her shots and dewormed.

Story
🌲 We are looking for an outdoorsy family for him 🌲 🌲 Hi! I’m Freddy — your future adventure buddy 🤍 First things first: yes, I do make the funniest faces… and my goofy expressions are truly to die for. I’m a young, playful pup at heart; a 3 year old, 50 lb Husky full of curiosity, sweetness, and heart melting head tilts. For a long time, I waited in a shelter. Day after day. Watching. Hoping. Treats were my bright spots. When someone offered one, my whole world lit up and I could imagine, just for a moment, what it might feel like to belong. After months of waiting, I was finally rescued by the wonderful folks at PawesomeBaby Rescue! Now I’m in a loving foster home, showing everyone what a good boy I truly am. I love to play - with humans, with other young and playful dogs, and with anyone who’s ready to have a little fun. I have a goofy personality, a joyful spirit, and I bring smiles wherever I go. Playtime, cuddle time, and shared adventures are my favorite things. I also have an overbite jaw that makes me only even more cuter! I’m potty trained at my foster homes, and gentle and kind with people, kids, and other dogs. I have lived peacefully with a husky foster sister and taken her corrections like a polite gentleman. No guarding, no aggression — just love and curious learning. I also did great around the little humans in my foster homes. I do have a true Husky heart though, and I’d thrive with a family who loves the outdoors. Walks are my favorite! I’m curious, alert, and love exploring the world one sniff at a time. Adventures, hikes, neighborhood strolls, beach walks, I’m ready for all of it, right by your side. I can be your one-and-only adventure buddy or share my life with a friendly young fur sibling. Either way, I love having companionship and being part of the action — not left alone :) This holiday season, I’m wishing for more than toys or treats. I’m wishing for a forever family; one that laughs at my silly expressions, plays with me, takes me on adventures, and loves me just as I am. If you’re looking for a sweet, playful soul with a goofy adventurous spirit… I’m ready to come home. 🤍 Please contact my rescue family PawesomeBaby ✨🐾 —————————————————————————- About Freddy: —————————————————————————- • Age: approx 3-4 yr • Weighs 50 lb • Neutered, up to date on vaccines (Rabies, DHPP, Lepto, Bordetella), dewormed. • He has a cute little overbite. • Potty trained at foster home. • People friendly - He is friendly and playful with humans, big and small. • Dog friendly - He is friendly with playful, friendly dogs, big and small. Not tested with small dogs or cats. You will be adopting a dog who got the care listed below - • Spay/neuter • Rabies, DHPP, Lepto, Bordetella vaccines • Negative fecal test or dewormed • Wellness checkup, Heartworm, blood tests • Microchip registration with AKC reunited • Lots of tender loving care at amazing foster home! We are looking for adopters in Washington state or BC Canada. We may consider neighboring states too, if it’s a perfect match for him and you are willing to drive or transport. Please contact to schedule a meetup! His adoption fee is USD 400 (CAD 500). We charge an adoption fee for our precious dogs, to make sure they go to a good home who can afford caring for them as a family member. Dog ownership is a lifetime commitment of over 10-15 yrs. Training: —————- Like a typical husky, he doesn’t enjoy being alone. He can get bored and mischievous. But he has been good if he has his humans or fur siblings around. Training Resources: ————————————— Regardless of who you adopt, we recommend training your pup regularly, to build an everlasting bond with your pup and help them continue to be an amazing canine citizen. We can provide a list of reputable trainers who use positive reinforcement methods to help you establish a training protocol with your newly adopted furbaby. —————————————————————————- [IMPORTANT] —————————————————————————- Below listed requirements are for any dogs we adopt out, meant for everyone’s safety. • If you have other dogs, then you must also be knowledgeable and have good hands on experience with running a multi-dog home to be able to adopt a dog from us. What’s expected of the adopter is just keeping basic house rules like (1) keep the dogs apart when feeding, monitor & put away left over food, (2) help them build mutual trust before leaving alone with treats, toys around (3) keep dogs out of kitchen when handling food etc • As with any dog, earn their trust around food handling. This is an essential training for every dog, so they learn to trust their new human. It takes only a couple of practice sessions around meal time with most dogs with no history of food guarding. Teaching to sit, then hand-feeding food & high value treats is one of the best ways to earn trust. • If you have children at home, they should be at least 8+ yrs, and know to safely & respectfully interact with dogs, to be considered for adoption. We think families with younger children will likely not have the time needed to exercise and nourish a new dog. And the time needed to train little kids to safely interact with dogs, read their body language & respect their personal space. Most dogs do not enjoy little ones clinging to them, pulling their fur, crawling or lying on them. We do not want to risk the safety of neither your child nor our dog. Follow @dogmeets_baby trainer on Instagram to learn more on this topic :-) Of course, we understand there are exceptions and some parents are on top with this. Please contact us if you are one of those exceptional parents :) • We discourage the use of choke, pinch, prong collars on our dogs. Training to walk on a well fitted no-pull harness is encouraged. All our dogs come with a “no-pull” harness. If needed, you can use humane collars like regular buckle collars, martingale collars or ‘gentle leader’.
