Story
Zuri is a beautiful 4 year old male Australian Shepherd looking for a forever home after his family/owner's went through a major lifestyle change that would not be fair for him in the long run. His entire support system is dedicated to finding him a great home where he will be fulfilled, loved and brought to his full potential. His adoption comes with mandatory (free) training follow ups with Val Groulx from Calm & Collect Canine. After completing a Board & Train program, Zuri has a great foundation with a 5 word marker system, basic obedience (sit, down, stand, place, recall, heel, out, crate, all with an auto stay), is muzzle conditioned, e collar trained and is only starting! Zuri is a sweet sensitive boy who absolutely adores his family/owner's. He’s not much of a snuggler but likes to always have access to his people so for that reason, he’s looking for a family/owner's who will be dedicated to creating a healthy relationship and placing boundaries right off the bat so that separation anxiety does not become a problem. Being vocal as a result of the separation anxiety has happened in the past so an apartment setting might not be the best for this boy. Zuri is a silly, happy go lucky dog who loves going on adventures, long walks, exploring new trails, running, swimming, learning and playing. He has high energy and stamina but can also enjoy a day off once in a while. He loves being outside whether that’s running around like crazy or just laying in the sun so someone who’s active and loves the outdoors is a must. He’s friendly with other dogs and is in a pack regularly at daycare but he’s shown resource guarding with toys and treats in the past so a home with another dog can be considered as long as it’s a non-confrontational dog and the family/owner's are ready to keep safety and management protocols in place.  Given his breed, sensitivity and lack of exposure to kids in his early years Zuri’s quite nervous around them and their quick movements so applicants with kids under 12 years old or with the plan of having kids in the next 2 years will not be considered. Age: 4 years Weight: 50 lbs Breed: Australian Shepherd Neutered: Yes Vaccinated: Yes House-trained: Yes Crate-trained: Yes Medical conditions: None Energy level: Very high Good with dogs: Yes, with limitations Good with cats: Untested (has prey drive) Good with kids: No (12+ may be considered) Ideal home: Active household familiar with working breeds; structured environment with boundaries, training, and opportunities for physical and mental engagement; calm space to decompress This is a courtesy LIsting. If you are interested in providing Zuri with his forever home, please contact Shaun at 905-392-7293 or send an email to ashna.shaun@gmail.com.

Likes to chase squirrels and birds. - Can be slightly destructive when bored. - Not much of a swimmer, but she enjoys playing in water. - Responds well to verbal cues and attempts to redirect her attention. - Her leash skills and basic obedience are good. She seems to enjoy one-on-one training sessions. Owner Suitability -Enjoys being a part of day-to-day activities and would benefit from a home in which people are around most of the day. -Would benefit from daily walks and opportunities to play throughout the day. - Loves to be off leash with people. - She would do best in a home with a fenced in yard as she is a curious girl and enjoys opportunities to explore. - Best suited to a home with no other dogs. - Can happily live in a home with cats. She does show occasional interest in playing, but is very respectful of the cat not wanting to engage.

Story
Looking for an ideal home for Enzo, a 4 year old (5 in April) Australian Cattle Dog, red heeler. He is a very smart, loyal companion, who needs lots of outdoor time, especially loves playing catch, so an ideal home would include a spacious backyard and even access to wilderness. Playing ball (catch) is definitely his favourite activity, and he is quite skilled at it. Regular walks have been part of his routine as well. Enzo is not friendly with other dogs, and has almost no experience with children. He can be aggressive towards some dogs and has shown resource protection reactivity. He has been leash trained, muzzle trained (for vet visits primarily) and listens to basic commands well (come, stay, sit, back, drop it, etc). Enzo very food motivated, so continued training is appropriate and recommended. Enzo is Very anxious in a moving vehicle and has had limited exposure to car rides as a result. He is great company at home and with consistent outdoor time is also a nice couch companion. He shows affection to his care giver, preferring male humans and is a great watch dog in the home. Those familiar with Australian Cattle Dogs, who have a large property would be ideal. Enzo is on epilepsy medication, which has been working very well, and has a cost of around $35 per month to obtain (with prescription). He has no dog food restrictions or other medical issues to report. Enzo has all his medical shots up to date, has been neutered and microchipped. This is a courtesy listing. If you are interested in providing Enzo with his forever home, please contact Stephen at (819) 319-0578 or thestephenmartin@gmail.com. Thank you!

Story
Hi, I'm Vanilla! 🐶✨ A little lovebug with a big heart, ready to start a brand new chapter — maybe with you? I'm a 2-year-old girl, full of energy, love, and second chances. I didn’t always have it easy — I was left behind at an oyster factory in Tongyeong, forgotten and alone. Even after having four puppies, no one looked out for me… but that’s all in the past now. I was rescued, and ever since, I've been learning how beautiful life can be when you’re loved. Now I know how to trust, how to play, and most of all — how to love back. I’ve even picked up some smart tricks like “sit,” “paw,” and “go to your house!” Not bad, right? I’m super friendly and absolutely adore people — men and women alike. I haven’t met many young children yet, and since I’m pretty bouncy and energetic, I might do best with older kids who can match my vibe. Other dogs? LOVE them. I get excited to meet new furry friends and will happily introduce myself first! I haven’t met any cats yet, so I can’t say how we’d get along, but I don’t have any aggression or prey drive — I’m more about snuggles and zoomies than anything else. I’m still working on leash training, and I’m not totally used to living indoors yet, but I’m a quick learner. If you show me the way, I’ll follow. I’m a good girl with my barking, too — I might bark when someone new comes in or if I’m really excited, but if you say “no,” I usually settle down quickly. I love being touched, hugged, and cuddled, especially by women. I’ll even give you gentle hugs to show you how much I care. With male guardians, I’m respectful — if you’re not in the mood for snuggles, I’ll understand and give you space. I enjoy toys but I don’t destroy things in the house, and I’m not possessive over food or toys either. Sharing is caring, right? Health-wise, I’m in great shape — no major illnesses in my past, just a whole lot of resilience and a heart full of love. Now all that’s missing is a forever family. A warm home. A couch to cuddle on. A person — or people — who will never leave me behind again. Could that be you? I’m ready to be your joy, your companion, and your sunshine. Let’s write our story together. 💛 With love, Vanilla

Story
Hi, my name is Donny 🤍 I’m a female Jindo mix, I weigh about 18kg (40 lb), and I’m 3 years old. From the time I was very young, I lived tied up in front of a factory. I never got to leave that spot. I was just… there. A short leash. A few fixed steps I could take. And a space I had to protect—because no one else would. That factory wasn’t a playground or a place to rest. It was my entire world. A world where surviving was the only goal. I never learned how to meet people freely. I never learned how to make dog friends. My role was simple: guard my space, stay alive. Because of that life, I never had the chance to learn how to socialize with other dogs. When you grow up having to protect your space to survive, “other dogs” don’t feel like friends to play with. They can feel like something you must guard against. Not because you are aggressive— but because no one ever taught you another way. So if I seem uncomfortable around other dogs, please know this isn’t a flaw in my personality. It’s simply the mark of a life where I was never given the chance to learn. That’s why I’m looking for a home where I can be the only dog. A home where, for the first time, I don’t have to share love— but can receive it fully, completely, for the rest of my life. I spent so long tied up, never chosen, never held. Just once, I want to be someone’s everything. With people, I am incredibly gentle. Soft-hearted, affectionate, and full of sweet charm. I love human attention more than anything. Real home life is new to me. Even though I’m three years old, my heart is still like a puppy’s— playful, curious, and easily surprised by the world. If I’m adopted, I’ll need to learn everything from the beginning: potty training, living inside a home, sharing everyday life with people. That’s why I need a family who won’t rush me, who will wait, who will teach me with patience and love. Someone who will walk at my pace. Slowly. Gently. Respectfully. Please— just look at me once. I truly believe that if I meet my family, I will return the love I missed for so long many times over. I’ll be a loyal, devoted, and deeply loving companion— the kind of dog you can walk beside for a lifetime 🤍

Story
🏠Currently in a Toronto foster home Hi, I’m Max. 🐾 I’m an 1-year-old Jindo mix boy, weighing around 9kg (about 20 lbs). Right now, I’m learning what it means to be without my mom and siblings for the very first time. Everything is new, a little scary… but I’m doing my best to be brave. 🧡 A Gentle, Sensitive Soul I’ll be honest — I’m not the boldest pup in the shelter. I can be really shy, and when I meet strangers, I might bark loudly at first. It’s not because I’m angry — I’m just unsure and trying to protect myself in this big, confusing world. But here’s the thing: when I start to see the same faces every day, I slowly let my guard down. I start wagging my tail. I start following you with curious eyes. Give me a little time, and I’ll give you all the love I’ve been holding back. 🐕 Social with the Right Friends I get along well with other dogs around my size — we can play, learn, and grow together. Big dogs still make me nervous, but I’m working on building my confidence. If you have a friendly, balanced dog at home, I’d love that — I learn best by watching and following others. Honestly, I’d do better in a home with another dog, rather than being the only one. 🚶‍♂️ Baby Steps into the World Walks are still a bit overwhelming for me, so sometimes I stop and hesitate. I haven’t had many chances to explore the world yet, so I need someone who will move at my pace — slowly, gently, and with lots of encouragement. Every day, I get a little braver. And yep — I’m still working on potty training and other puppy basics. But I’m eager to learn and grow, especially with someone who can show me what love, safety, and home really feel like. 💛 What I Need Most A patient and kind family who won’t rush me A calm, well-socialized dog sibling to help guide me A gentle routine and lots of positive reinforcement Understanding, time, and love A forever home where I’ll never feel scared or alone again I may be shy at first, but I promise — once I trust you, I’ll be your quiet, loyal shadow. I just need someone who sees past the fear and believes in the dog I’m becoming. Are you the one who’ll help me blossom? With quiet hope, Max 🐶💕
