Story
Hi, I'm Tippy! I'm a 1-year-old Shepherd mix with a whole lot of energy and an even bigger heart. I got my name because the tip of my tail had to be amputated, but don't worry-I still wag what I've got with all the joy in the world! I love running, playing, exploring, and getting as much attention as you're willing to give. I'm a happy, loving pup who's always ready for adventure and cuddles, and I can't wait to find a family who's excited to share both with me.If you would like to meet me, I'm staying at 550 Boundary Road, Cornwall ON K6H 6J5 and our adoption hours are Mon-Sun 11am-6pm or give us a call at 613-936-0072. Adopter profiles can be found at https://ontariospca.ca/adopt/adoption-process-and-fees/ to fill out in advance of visiting my Animal Centre!

Story
POTCAKE AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! We recently welcomed Abaco, who originally hails from The Bahamas. He’ll be 4 in February and is a nice size at about 45 pounds. We’re still getting acquainted, but we do know that Abaco is a sensitive soul. A home with routine and predictability will help him feel more confident. Abaco is energetic and loves to run off leash but is very calm and relaxed in the home. He enjoys interacting with his people and will also play on his own with his plush toys or chew on bully sticks. Abaco is compatible and playful with other canines. Young children make him uncomfortable, though; an adult home would suit him best. Abaco is housetrained and not destructive when left alone. If you’re interested in offering Abaco a forever home, 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
SAINT BERNARD / BERNESE MIX AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Looking for a big, lovable companion who will melt your heart? Caporal is a stunning Saint Bernard / Bernese Mountain Dog mix, and he’s as sweet as he is majestic! With his thick fluffy coat, soulful eyes, and affectionate nature, he’s the perfect blend of both breeds’ best traits. At 4 years of age and 127 pounds, friendly Caporal is a playful pup who loves long walks and backyard time but is happiest when he’s near his people—he’ll lean in for pets, follow you around the house, and always be ready for a cozy snuggle. True to his mountain-dog roots, Caporal thrives in cooler weather and enjoys being outdoors, but he’s equally content relaxing indoors with his family. He can be an only pet but also gets along well with other dogs. Caporal would do best in a home with space to stretch out and a family who appreciates his loyal, gentle nature. Caporal is house-trained, neutered, microchipped, and ready to find his forever home. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will fill your life with warmth (and maybe a little drool!), Caporal could be your perfect match. If you have room in your home and heart for Caporal, 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.

River

Schnauzer (Standard)

Male, 7 yrs 11 mos
Rigaud, QC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Our 50-pound, 4.5-year-old Schnauzer mix River is extremely loving and affectionate with his own people, but it’s a different story with visitors. Negative behaviour was created as a result of having been put in a room when visitors arrived. Because of this, River needs an experienced adopter who is prepared to work with him with a basket muzzle to help manage and overcome this reaction when people visit his home. LIFESTYLE: River needs a calm single or couple with a quiet lifestyle and few visitors. A semi-rural or rural environment would suit him best. River would not be suitable for apartment life, and no dog parks or children please. ACTIVE: River is playful and moderately active. He enjoys walks when there is not a lot going on around him, but responds well to redirection and positive reinforcement. OTHER PETS: River would be fine as an only dog, but a well-behaved female canine role model may be beneficial. Don’t be fooled by River’s cuteness. He needs a dedicated pack leader to show him the way. If that sounds like you, a very loving companion awaits. If you are interested in offering River a forever home, we ask that you please visit us at www.kikodogrescue.ca to fill out an adoption questionnaire. All Kiko dogs have been examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, dewormed and tested for heartworm (if deemed necessary), microchipped, sterilized, and require an adoption fee of $475 and an adoption contract.

Story
CHIHUAHUA AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Meet Brooklyn—the tiny Chihuahua with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Brooklyn is an 8-year-old gentleman looking for a forever home that appreciates both his sweetness and his quirks. He's a devoted little companion who loves going for walks and usually has very specific ideas about which direction the adventure should go. If you're someone who appreciates a dog with opinions, he'll make you smile every day. Brooklyn is affectionate, playful, and absolutely adores cuddling with his person. He's also a very vocal communicator—he's not shy about telling you how he feels! He will bark at guests and can take time to feel safe around new people or new situations. His previous family reported some nipping at visitors' heels and a desire to bond with only one person, but his foster family has not seen this behaviour so far. Still, he'll do best with adopters who understand that small dogs can have big feelings and who don't mind taking introductions slowly. He's pee-pad trained and actually prefers doing his business on a pad over going outside, which can be a plus for apartment living or cold weather. He is currently a bit intimidated by his foster family's dog (a confident Corgi), so a home without dogs—or with gentle, respectful canine friends—would be ideal. Brooklyn would thrive in a calm, patient home that can offer routine, reassurance, and plenty of snuggles. With the right match, this little guy will reward you with loyalty, laughter, and endless cuddles. If you're looking for a small dog with charm, character, and so much love to give, Brooklyn might be the one. Please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at www.kikodogrescue.ca if you’re interested in adopting Brooklyn. We are active in the Greater Montreal and Eastern Ontario areas and are also open to applicants from elsewhere willing to drive to us.
