Story
Hi, I'm Hero 🦸‍♂️I'm a 1-year-old German Shepherd mix, and I'm still figuring out this big, busy world. New people can make me a little nervous at first, so I might hang back and watch from a safe distance. But if you give me a bit of time (and maybe a gentle voice), you'll see me start to come out of my shell.I'm learning that people can be kind-and I'm getting braver every day. Once I trust you, I'm a sweet, loyal boy who really wants to connect. I just need someone patient who understands that building trust takes time... but I promise I'm worth it.Because I'm still gaining confidence, I'd do best in a calm home where I can go at my own pace. Positive reinforcement, encouragement, and a steady routine will help me keep growing into the amazing dog I'm meant to be.They named me Hero, and I think that means I've got a brave heart in here somewhere-I just need the right person to help it shine.Could you be my person? 💛 Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 22.8 Age: 1yrs 0mths 0wks

Hi! I'm Freddy, the shelter's resident explorer and goofball. Every day, I embark on grand adventures, even if it's just around the play yard. I'm a pro at fetch and an even better companion for long walks where I can sniff out all the secrets of the world. I've got energy to spare and love to share. My curious nature keeps me on my paws, always ready for the next big thing. If you need a loyal friend who's always up for playtime or a quiet evening, I'm your guy. Let's start our adventure together! Come and meet me at the Ontario SPCA Cornwall and Region Animal Center located at 550 Boundary rd. Cornwall.

Story
Meet Abaco: The Ultimate Introvert (Dog Edition) If Abaco were human, he'd be the friend who loves deep connections but skips the party—no hard feelings, he just enjoys his space. He's more "quiet corner" than social butterfly, especially around new people. Once you're in his trusted circle, however, this loyal and chatty companion opens up beautifully —affectionate, playful, and always ready to "talk" to his family, saving his conversations for those he loves. Abaco is currently being fostered with another dog, but he can be particular when first meeting a new pooch. And when it comes to food, he's a true gourmet—treat-motivated, but only for the finest offerings, wagging his tail like a culinary critic with high standards. Abaco can be a bit nervous with strangers. He’ll gladly and very gently accept a treat, but please don't expect to pet him at the first meeting. Abaco appreciates slow introductions and understands clear boundaries. Give him a couple of days and a solid routine, and he transforms into a super cuddly, incredibly chatty, and very playful companion who loves his people deeply. Once you're in his circle, expect affectionate snuggles, playful energy, and lots of meaningful conversation. Age: 4 years Breed: Potcake (Golden/Husky mix) Looks: Gorgeous fur, expressive eyes Skills: Walks well on leash (although wary of strangers), loves to play If you’re interested in adopting Abaco, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at www.kikodogrescue.ca. We are active in the Greater Montreal and Eastern Ontario areas, and are also open to applicants from elsewhere willing to drive to us.

Story
PUPPY AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Bella’s puppies were born on March 7, and the young family came to Kiko just three days later. Sweet Bella is a sweet medium-sized mixed breed, but we don’t know anything about the dad. Ben had his first vet visit on April 30 and was given a clean bill of health. He weighed 5.93 kg and is estimated to grow to anywhere between 20 to 30 kg. At 17 kg, his mom is still a little underweight from the toll of raising her offspring. Ben has been eating puppy kibble for a month, but Bella is very patient and still allows him to nurse. We are accepting applications for Ben and he'll be ready to go to his new home as of May 16. This will give him a good ten weeks with his mom and siblings for optimal behavioural and social development. It’s rewarding to watch a pup grow and learn, but we cannot stress enough how much work having a puppy is. There will be accidents in the house and items left unattended will be tempting for an unsupervised puppy. Please be sure that all family members are on board and ready for a lifetime commitment. If you’re interested in adopting Ben, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at www.kikodogrescue.ca. Our adoption fee for puppies is $795 and includes first vaccination and deworming, and sterilization at our vet at about 10 months of age. We are active in the Greater Montreal and Eastern Ontario areas and are also open to applicants from elsewhere willing to drive to us.
