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, 8 yrs 1 mo

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.

Anakin

Australian Shepherd

Male, 1 yr 11 mos

Rigaud, QC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

YOUNG AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Meet Anakin, a sensitive, intelligent young Australian Shepherd with a heart as soft as his fluffy coat. Anakin is looking for a calm, predictable home where he can feel safe, understood, and loved at his own pace. Born in March 2024 and weighing about 37 pounds, Anakin is bright, eager to learn, and deeply loyal, but he’s also an anxious guy who can become overwhelmed by loud noises, fast movements, and chaotic environments. Because of this, he’ll thrive best in a home without children. Anakin absolutely loves being with other dogs, though, and this has shown to be a positive influence on him—and he’s also amazing with cats! Shy when meeting new people, especially men, Anakin needs adults who understand his need for gentle handling, patience, and positive reinforcement. Once he feels comfortable, Anakin’s personality truly shines—he’s playful, affectionate, and loves bonding through training games, lots of walks (he LOVES his walks!), and one-on-one time. He would be a wonderful match for someone who appreciates the Aussie Shepherd’s active mind but also wants a companion who enjoys peaceful moments just as much. Anakin’s ideal home would provide a calm, structured environment in an adults-only household with another dog. He will thrive with daily mental enrichment and steady routines. Someone experienced with herding breeds and a secure yard or safe space for exploring would be an asset. If you’re ready to earn the trust of a gentle soul and help him blossom, Anakin is waiting for his forever person. If you think you could be the one, 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.

Zuri - Courtesy Listing

Australian Shepherd

Male, 4 yrs 5 mos

Carlsbad Springs, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

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.
