Story
Hello there. My name is Portia and I’m a mature, big-hearted gal (literally and figuratively) with a whole lot of love to give. My adoption fee is sponsored!! Here’s what you need to know about me: I’m past all that puppy chaos. You won’t find me chewing your shoes or having accidents on your rug. I am fully crate trained and housetrained, and once we’ve had our morning walk and breakfast, I am very happy to settle down quietly and just... be with you. I’m calm, quiet, and I don't make a fuss. My absolute favorite things are our walks! I am very attuned to my people. However, I do pull a bit so we will need more practice together. I am very responsive to treats though which is super motivating. I love space to walk without getting derailed by a ton of other dogs and cats. A rural area or lake area could be ideal! I’ll check in with you on our walks, and I’ll curl up nearby when you’re reading or watching TV. I just want to be your loyal companion. Now, I need to be honest with you about a few things, because a good relationship starts with trust. I want to be your only pet. I do not like other dogs, cats, or any small furry creatures. And while I’m sweet and affectionate with adults, a home with children is not for me. I will thrive in a calm, predictable home where I can relax and know I’m safe. I know that might sound like a lot, but here’s what it means for the right person: you get all of me. No competition, no chaos. Just a steady, loving, gentle giant who thinks you hung the moon. If you're a single person or a couple without other pets or kids, and you're looking for a low-to-moderate energy walking buddy who will be your devoted shadow, I think we could be a perfect match. Could you be my fresh start?

Story
Hello peeps, my name is Pablo and it's great to meet you. I may not be psychic but I can see a lot of cuddling on the couch and hanging out in our future. I'm kind of awesome and I'm already fully kennel and house trained. I'm working on my leash manners and I'm almost there!I'm social and friendly and have gotten along with pretty much everyone; dogs and kids alike! I'm a social butterfly, didn't you know? But I would prefer a home without cats as they can be fun to chase. I'm a chill dude, pretty content to Netflix and Chill, but I'm also up for an adventure. I'm all about keeping you happy and matching your pace. Some people say I'm a bit of a people pleaser but I like to think I'm just highly adaptable and intuitive.I have a condition called epilepsy, and I take daily medication to keep my seizures under control. It is very important my adoptive family continues these medications so that I stay safe. My friends at MUR will tell you all about it. If you're looking for a well rounded, loveable dude, then don't hesitate cause I'm right here!

Viola is a tenderhearted, glow-up girl whose journey from shy and shut down to playful and full of life has been nothing short of beautiful. When she first arrived, she preferred long naps and quiet observation, but as she’s grown comfortable, her sweet, silly, and deeply lovable personality has begun to shine. Now she delights in showing off her goofy side, surprising everyone with her bursts of energy and joyful spirit. Watching Viola discover how good life can be has truly been an honour, and she’s only just getting started.Viola is fully house trained and can be trusted loose in the home, where she settles in comfortably and enjoys being part of the family. She’s still working on her kennel training and her leash skills, but she’s putting in the effort and making steady progress every day. Viola does well with other dogs and kids, but she is looking for a cat-free home where she can feel safe and supported. With patience, encouragement, and love, she continues to grow more confident and show the world who she really is.Viola’s transformation has revealed a dog who is not only resilient but also incredibly affectionate and full of joy. She forms deep bonds with her people and will reward her future family with endless love, laughs, and loyal companionship.Ready to watch this beautiful bloom continue?

Story
Oona may only have one eye, but she certainly does not let that slow her down! This silly, goofy and loving little girl keeps up with the big dogs without missing a beat and approaches life with all the confidence and enthusiasm you could ask for. She is constantly making her foster family laugh, and we are pretty sure she knows exactly how adorable she is.Oona is making great progress with both her kennel training and house training. She is still young, so she has not had much opportunity to work on leash manners yet, but there will be plenty of time for that as she grows. At her age, she should have the potential to do well with other dogs, cats and children with proper introductions and continued guidance. She would likely do best with a dog savvy cat, and like any young puppy, she is still learning about personal space, boundaries and how to appropriately interact with the world around her.Oona is also a world class snuggler. When she is not busy keeping up with the big dogs or getting herself into some sort of puppy mischief, she can often be found sitting at your feet with the cutest puppy eyes imaginable, waiting patiently for someone to scoop her up for a hug. She is playful, affectionate and wonderfully goofy, with a personality that is impossible not to love.One eye, four paws and absolutely no shortage of personality. Oona is ready to find the family who will keep up with her!PLEASE NOTE: To meet our adoptable dogs, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
Equinox is everyone’s little buddy and absolutely cannot stand the thought of missing out on anything! This playful, sweet and adventurous boy is happiest when he is right in the middle of whatever his people are doing. He has earned himself the title of little shadow thanks to his endless curiosity and FOMO, and honestly, it is hard not to love having such a devoted little sidekick. He loves chasing a ball, has recently discovered the absolute thrill of running up and down the stairs, and is always ready to head outside for another adventure.Equinox is making great progress with his kennel training and house training, and he is just beginning to learn about leash manners. He is already doing very well in his kennel and has learned to sit nicely when treats are involved, because a clever boy knows that good things come to those who wait! He is still a baby, so his new family will need to be patient and consistent as he continues learning all the important skills that will help him grow into a wonderful companion.Equinox loves his big dog friends and desperately wants to join in when they start wrestling. He might be a little too small to get involved just yet, but that certainly does not stop him from standing nearby and barking his enthusiastic encouragement! He is also generous with his affection, sneaking in kisses for both his humans and his canine friends whenever he gets the chance. He should do well with dogs, cats and children, with proper introductions, supervision and boundaries to help everyone get along safely.If you are looking for a loving little adventure buddy who wants to be involved in absolutely everything, Equinox could be your perfect match. He is ready to explore the world, chase all the balls and make sure you never have to do anything alone again!PLEASE NOTE: To meet our adoptable dogs, please fill out an adoption application.

Story
If happiness had four paws and a wagging tail, it would look a whole lot like Ilo! This goofy, dopey little boy seems to think every day is the best day ever, and every person he meets is his new best friend. He gets ridiculously excited to see people, and his enthusiasm is absolutely contagious. Ilo has a special talent for making you smile just by being himself, whether he is bumbling around exploring the world or happily trotting over to see what you are up to.Ilo is making progress with his kennel training, house training and leash manners. He is still a young puppy, so he will need a family who can offer patience, consistency and plenty of positive encouragement as he continues learning all the important skills that will help him grow into a wonderful companion. He is good with dogs, cats and children, and with proper introductions, supervision and appropriate boundaries, he has plenty of potential to build lovely relationships with his new family and any furry friends.For all his goofy enthusiasm, Ilo has a softer side too. Once the excitement of seeing his favourite people has settled, there is nothing he loves more than curling up on the couch beside his human for a well deserved nap. He is a happy little shadow who wants to be wherever the people are, spreading joy wherever those four paws take him.If you are looking for a puppy who will greet you like you are the best thing that has ever happened to him, make you laugh on a daily basis and happily snuggle up beside you at the end of the day, Ilo might just be your perfect match. Get ready for a whole lot of love, a little bit of silliness and a lifetime of happy greetings!PLEASE NOTE: To meet our adoptable dogs, please fill out an adoption application.
