Yorkie, Yorkshire Terrier Maltese

Male, 9 mos

Colborne, ON

Size

Story

If you’re looking for a loyal little companion who will make you smile every day, Sunny just might be your perfect match.Sunny is a charming little puppy of about 8 months old, who takes a little time to warm up to new people. He’s naturally a bit reserved at first, but once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll discover an incredibly affectionate cuddle bug who absolutely loves snuggling up beside you - especially on the bed!Sunny enjoys spending time outdoors, racing around the backyard doing zoomies before coming back inside to relax with his people. While he would enjoy having another canine companion, he’s equally happy being the only dog, provided he has someone to love. He can be a little bossy with other dogs and doesn’t always like sharing high-value items like toys or treats, so proper introductions and supervision are important.Sunny is doing well with his house training. He happily goes outside but will also use a puppy pad when needed. He’s comfortable walking on a collar (a harness isn’t his favourite) and enjoys getting out to explore.Like many young dogs, Sunny has a few quirks that only make him more endearing. He has a talent for “borrowing” socks and clothing if they’re left within reach, so keeping the laundry picked up is a must! He’s also happiest in a home where someone is around much of the time, as he can become anxious when left alone.Because Sunny can be vocal and bark at unfamiliar people, he would do best in a detached home rather than an apartment or condo. We also feel he’d be happiest in a home without young children. A securely fenced yard would be ideal, giving him a safe place to run, play, and burn off his playful energy.Sunny is considered a flight risk, so his future family will need to be committed to keeping him safely secured on walks and around open doors and gates. If you’re patient enough to let this sweet boy build trust at his own pace, you’ll be rewarded with a loving, loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be close to his people.His new family will also need to keep up with his grooming as he does have a long growing coat and regular professional grooming would be recommended to keep him comfortable and free of mats.Just look at that face...could Sunny be the sunshine your home has been missing?Please note that due to the high volume of applications our volunteers process, we will only contact those with a strong potential for a success

Story

Meet Jewel!6 Year-Old ~ Mixed BreedThis special gem is ready to melt your heart!Jewel is a beautiful 6.5-year-old Mexican street dog mix who originally came to Canada through K9Crusaders over five years ago. With her sleek black coat, soft folded ears, and the sweetest little white patch around her nose and chest, she’s a striking girl with a loyal heart.For most of her life, Jewel has been a deeply loved companion and she has thrived being part of the daily routine and family life. Unfortunately, significant changes in the home have recently created a lot of disruption and stress for Jewel, and her owner made the very difficult decision to ask for help finding her a new environment where she can feel settled and secure again.Jewel is a medium to high-energy dog who would thrive with an active single person or couple who enjoy getting outside for walks or hikes and spending time together at home. She forms strong bonds with her people and would do best in a home where she won’t be left alone for long periods of time.Jewel has lived with cats, and has also shared her life with another dog, but we feel she would would be happiest as the only dog in the home as she has recently shown signs of resource guarding behaviour. While it is manageable, she may be best suited to a home where she can soak up all the attention and companionship from her people as a solo dog. A home with older, dog-savvy children or adults only, would likely be the best match. Her previous family have described Jewel as a lovely, loyal dog who simply needs stability and the right environment to shine.Jewel has so much love and companionship to offer the right person. If you’re looking for a devoted companion and adventure buddy, Jewel may be your girl!Please note that due to the high volume of applications our volunteers process, we will only contact those with a strong potential for a successful match.

Meet Dreamwalker Bradley! Are you searching for a dog who walks dreamily on leash? If so, then Bradley is your boy! Bradley likes people very much, and makes friends with other dogs fairly easily.

Someone who either works from home, is retired or work alternate schedules to ensure that Bradley isn't left alone for hours at a time. (A reputable dog walker would be an alternative).

Female, 10 yrs

Warkworth, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story

Meet Quiet Violet! This girl doesn't bark, so if you need a loud guard dog, you'll have to look elsewhere. Violet actually "speaks" rather than barks, and only for mealtime. Violet is searching for her retirement home as she's around 9 years young now. She does well with short walks as she's had two TPLO surgeries, but it doesn't stop her from playing with squeaky balls in the yard! Off leash, she is Miss Congeniality with other dogs and people alike. Treats, food and squeaky toys are all Violet's favourite things! She's also very clean and house trained. Violet's dreamhome wishlist: > A rural or suburban home. Violet is good with cows and horses, but not a fan of big city life. > A home with a fully fenced yard as Violet is accustomed to having her own secure outdoor space. > Preferably a home with another balanced dog. > A mature home without young children (older teens okay). > Someone who works from home or is retired to ensure Violet gets enough "me" time. > Someone who wants a lifelong companion that will cherish Violet the way she'll cherish them!

Story

Angel came to us as a stray. A very timid and shut down girl, it was apparent that she had a troubled past. We placed Angel in an experienced foster home and this is where she learned to trust again. With time and patience, Angel is going to make a wonderful companion! She is best suited to an adult only home, children are too busy for this calm lady. Angel does great in a car, and she is working on housetraining. Below are notes from her foster parents: `Angel is pretty good on leash. She’s not a big puller but is a stop-start walker. And she’s not always mastered the walking at a human pace. She tends to “trot on” and then stop while you catch up and then go again. She gets better as the walk goes on but is not tough to walk. I’ve always walked her on a 6ft leash, and not kept her in a heel position.We’ve focused on letting Angel rest, gain confidence and going in and out of doors. When she came, she tended to pull & dash out of the side door when it was walk time. It was almost as if she was afraid of the actual doorway. I spent some time getting her to stand and look at me before we go out out of the door. Eight times out of 10 now she’s much better and will walk through the door at a normal pace. But she was the same with the car, the crate and the travel crate. As soon as the door was open, she would try and bolt out. An adopter would need to know that in a car she will try and rush out so they would need to have a grip on her leash.On Sunday, we tried her in the car on the backseat. I used a seatbelt clipped to her harness. She was brilliant. She either just sat looking forward out of the window or lay down. No panting, no distress and no pacing.`
