Story
Meet Rambo, the cutest little gentleman with the sweetest personality. 😍 This 5 year old Frenchie is the most adorable little shadow you could ever ask for. In true Frenchie fashion, his snorts and grunts are absolutely on point. Rambo loves being wherever his humans are, so don't be surprised to find him close by. ☺️ Rambo is a social butterfly who gets along with other dogs and he loves children! Children = attention. 😂 He's had a couple of encounters with cats, both resulting in something very sweet: nose kisses. 💋 Walks are another one of Rambo's specialties. He's excellent on leash and he even has an adorable safety feature… should you accidentally drop the leash, Rambo will simply stop dead in his tracks and patiently wait for you to pick it back up. What a gentleman! 💙 Rambo is a pro at house training and knows outside is the place to do his business. He's happy to hang out in his crate as long as the door stays open. Closing the door might result in crying. 😔 Rambo loves bath time! And the post bath zoomies are a sight to behold! When he's not busy being adorable, Rambo is perfectly content to sleep the day away. And then there's food… because food is definitely high on his list of favourite things. Especially chicken and little pieces of watermelon. 🍗🍉 Rambo does have some special care needs that his forever family will need to understand and be committed to. He is currently on a special diet and requires medicated baths as part of his ongoing care. His adopter will need to be comfortable continuing these routines and making sure his needs are properly managed. Rambo has been described as a total sweetheart. He's affectionate, funny, social and the best boy who is ready to fill his forever home with laughs, love and plenty of snorts. If you're ready to give this special little guy the care he deserves, apply today to meet Rambo! 💙 Rambo's adoption fee is $800

Story
Meet Fifi! 🖤🤍 Some dogs take a little longer to find their forever, not because they're any less amazing, but because they're waiting for the right person. That's our girl Fifi. And she is so very deserving of a home. Fifi is a stunning 6-year-old shepherd–husky mix (about 70 lbs of fluff, personality, and loyalty) who thrives in a calm, structured environment. She's low-energy, deeply devoted to her people, and happiest simply being near you, supervising from the couch with her signature side-eye, of course. 👀💕 She's fully house and kennel trained, loves her toys (especially stuffies and rope toys), and has a goofy streak that shines through once she's comfortable. She's the kind of dog who will proudly celebrate a potty break with a zoomie lap and quietly steal a sock if you leave it unattended. 🏃‍♀️💨 Fifi does best with routine and consistent handling, and she's been working hard on her leash skills. She can be leash reactive, so she'll need a confident, patient adopter who is committed to continuing her training and helping her feel safe on walks. She does well with other dogs with proper introductions and may even love having a calm canine companion in her next home. She's looking for a cat-free home though. Fifi's heart is pure gold, a soft, loyal companion who loves cozy moments, peanut butter, and being part of someone's world. If you're ready for a meaningful bond with a truly special girl, Fifi is ready for you. 💛🐾
