This playful pup has a personality that shines as bright as the sun (with the fur to match)! You can usually find her playing with her doggo friends, lounging in the sun, or charming everyone she meets. It's the best day ever when she gets to do all three! Cassia is looking forward to meeting her furrever playmates! She loves playing with other dogs and she was very gentle in her experience with cats. She'd be successful in a home with fur siblings as long as they are properly introduced. She hasn't met human children yet but with proper introductions and boundaries in place, she'd be a great fur sibling for your kiddos! This loving girl needs a family who is willing to work on all basic training, and show them the ropes of living in a home environment!

🖤FOSTER-TO-ADOPT RUSI🖤 F | 10M | 15.3 KG | Mixed Breed | UTD on shots | Spayed | Good with dogs | Cat tested | Not kid tested | Medium energy | Playful | Loving | Social | Sweetheart Rusi might be the happiest girl on the planet! This precious girl loves people with all her heart and will greet everyone with butt wiggles and smiles for days! To Rusi, there's no such thing as "too much" attention. Rusi has the typical energy of a puppy and the playful spirit to match. She needs a furrever family who will foster her playful side, but also teach her basic commands and manners. She's looking for a mentor to show her the ropes of her new home environment. Rusi loves playing with other doggos and she did well when introduced to cats. With proper introductions, she'd be a great addition to a family with other dogs or cats. Although she hasn't met any kids yet, given boundaries and proper introductions, she'd settle in well with human siblings, too! Rusi can't wait to meet her forever family! Is it you??

Story

🖤ADOPT GORDA🖤 F | 4Y | 22.4 KG | BEAGLE MIX | SPAYED | UTD on shots | Housebroken | Crate Trained | Good with dogs | Likely good with cats | Not kid-tested Are you looking for a chill, sweet dog to take lots of naps with? Then Gorda is the Beagle for you! Gorda is quiet and laid-back but also playful on walks. Gorda's favourite thing in the world is food. And more than that, she loves working for her meals. Gorda's second favourite thing in the world is walks. She's great on a leash but will let you know when she wants to sniff something by the side of the road. She loves to roll in freshly cut grass or delightful smells. After her walk, she enjoys a big long nap and is content to rest for the rest of the day. A great day for Gorda would have 2 slow walks with lots of time for her to sniff the grass. Other than that, Gorda isn't picky! She is happy to settle down and take a nap as long as she gets her walks in. Gorda is currently fostered along with two doggy siblings and is great with them! After a slow and proper introduction, Gorda is now playing together with her foster sibling and has great fun with him. Gorda has not met any cats but is curious when she sees cats on walks. She has also not met any kids. However, as Gorda is a really calm and snoozy girl, she will probably do well with both kids and cats. Gorda is looking for a forever family that will give her the love and attention that she needs! Her ideal family would give her lots of belly rubs and make sure that she gets all her walks in. If you're looking for a calm, sweet, and adaptable dog, then Gorda is the one for you! Apply now -> https://www.barkatthemoonrescue.ca/dog-adoption-application

Story

🖤FOSTER-TO-ADOPT ELIAS🖤 M | 5Y | 29.9 KG | Mixed Breed | UTD on shots | Neutered | Good with dogs | Good with cats | Not kid tested | Medium energy | Playful | Affectionate | Gentle Elias is the living embodiment of "good boy!" This pup is one of the most gentle creatures you'll ever meet! While he enjoys play with his humans and other doggos, he also values his independence. After a long day of socializing, he likes to have some time to himself at the end of the day to decompress with a good, long nap (same dude). Elias loves food but his favourite reward is praise! He is eager to please and learns best when he's thrown a little party when he picks up new commands. Not only will training be easy with this smart boy, it'll be a blast for everyone! He is great with dogs, humans, and even cats! As always, though, proper introductions are important when adopting a new pet. Although Elias hasn't met any children yet, he'll be a great fur sibling for anyone with the proper introductions and boundaries! Elias needs a family who is committed to providing all basic training, and teaching him the ropes of living in a home environment. You won't believe how much love this softy has to give!

Timmy and his littermates where found abandoned.  He is not living in the past as he is excited, curious and fun loving.  Tiny Tim loves toys, loves the yard and loves to snuggle with you when he is ready for a nap.  He gets along with other dogs in his foster home without fear but could also be an only dog provided someone was home all the time.  Currently he sleeps in a dog bed in the kitchen. He is not housetrained but we are working on it. He loves his food, his toys, the other dogs and his people. Tiny Tim’s needs are above average because of his size.  He will need feeding 3 times a day for quite a while. He will need dog clothes to keep his petite frame warm and a close eye kept on his progress, as dog’s this small need extra observation to keep them healthy and safe. We are looking for an individual or family that has small/tiny dog experience and would be willing to do puppy training with this outgoing tiny guy. A small yard is needed that is securely secure. No apartments or condos as he would fit between the rails of balconies. He also enjoys the outdoors far too much to keep him from having a yard.
