Hi, I'm Harley! I love spending my days exploring quietly or cuddling up beside a friendly face. I'm a bit shy at first, but give me a little time, and I'll show you my brave, curious side. Being a bit older, I've mastered the art of being mellow and gentle, making me the perfect companion for peaceful days.

I promise to be the loyal friend you've been searching for. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 27.2 Age: 10yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
LAB MIX AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Ozzy came to Kiko a short time ago after his owner passed away. He was adopted in July, but it wasn’t the right fit and he was recently returned to our care. Ozzy is 3 years old, mostly Lab with some Poodle we’re told, and weighs about 65 pounds. He’s housetrained and can be left loose when his people go to work. Ozzy is calm in the house and enjoys hanging out with his people. He loves playing fetch (a lot!), so a fenced backyard for safe playtime is a must. Ozzy would be a great hiking or running companion, and he’s also a perfect passenger in the car. Ozzy’s ideal adopter could be a single, couple or family with children aged 14 and up. He has lived with other dogs and a cat, but he also wouldn’t mind getting all the love and attention himself. If Ozzy sounds like he could be your guy, please fill out the 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 adopters from elsewhere willing to drive to us.

Story
SPECIAL HOME NEEDED FOR GOLDEN / POODLE MIX Jamie first came to Kiko in February 2025 as an unclaimed stray at a rural pound. It quickly became obvious that he had never lived in a home or been a loved pet, and that he had likely been used for breeding. Jamie has come a very long way since then. After a stint in foster care, a nice couple with two lovely calm dogs opened their home to Jamie last November. With monthly trips to the spa and lots of TLC, he was very well taken care of. Unfortunately, an incident involving a barking Doberman on the other side of the fence brought him back to Kiko in July with original foster mom Line. Jamie is almost 5 years old and weighs around 50 pounds. He’s incredibly sweet but still timid and will need a calm environment in a rural or semi-rural setting. Jamie has not mastered the art of leash walking, so a fenced backyard is a must as he is now housetrained. Jamie is sharing his foster home with cats and particularly enjoys hanging out with his friends Henry and Gerry in his safe corner. The company of a well-mannered dog as a role model would also be beneficial for him. Jamie has continued to impress us with his progress. We don’t know what trauma he may have endured but there is hope in his eyes and love in his heart. If you’re interested in offering Jamie his forever home, please fill out the 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 adopters from elsewhere willing to drive to us.

Story
YORKIE MIX AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION This little 10-year-old Yorkie mix came to Kiko due to barking complaints from other residents in the condo building. Upon intake, we discovered that Coco had a mass and cataracts. She had a successful spay and mass removal surgery and is now ready to move on to her forever home. Since her arrival, Coco has shown us that she’s a spunky little gal. Her limited vision did not slow her down at all as she quickly learned her way around the foster home. Coco is a bit of diva and will let you know when she wants something, whether it’s to go outside, have a snack, play or go to bed. Coco has a great love of the outdoors and will happily watch you garden and accompany you on long walks. She likes meeting new people and is friendly with cats and other dogs. Coco’s foster mom describes her as “spicy” and “endearing.” She would be perfect for someone who’s home a lot and is looking for a small older dog to love and spoil. At just 10 pounds, Coco doesn’t take up much room on the big bed. She’s playful and active, enjoys a good game of fetch, and always ready to learn something new. Unaccustomed to living with young children, Coco would prefer an adult home. If you’re interested in adopting Coco, 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.
