AGE: 4 yearsSEX: FemaleBREED: Bully MixENERGY LEVEL: Medium-HighDOG FRIENDLY: Yep!CAT FRIENDLY?: UntestedKID FRIENDLY?: Untested - child free home preferredFOSTER IG: @chiweenie.eeveeMeet Mishka! Mishka is a sweet, intelligent, and incredibly lovable girl who has blossomed so much as she has settled into foster care. Once she feels safe with someone, she is a total love bug who loves cuddles, belly rubs, and being close to her people. She has a wonderfully goofy side, too, with backyard zoomies that involve running, hopping, and the occasional barrel roll. Mishka is medium-high energy and loves getting out for multiple walks, exploring the neighbourhood, and playing in the backyard. She can also be surprisingly chill and is happy to settle while her people work.Mishka is a smart girl who is eager to learn and has already made great progress with her training. She is house trained, loves her crate, and can comfortably be left home alone for a full workday. She knows sit and wait and is working on down and impulse control during play. She is doing especially well on leash and is a wonderful loose-leash walker in her neighbourhood, staying engaged with her person and enjoying plenty of time to sniff and explore. She is generally calm and neutral when passing other dogs and has shown very little interest in small animals. She may do well living with another dog around her size or larger, provided they have a compatible energy level and appropriate introductions.Mishka is still learning about the world and needs a little time to feel comfortable with new people and situations. She is particularly nervous around men and can be wary if someone approaches her directly or enters her space too quickly, but she has made huge progress with the men in her foster home and is increasingly choosing to interact with them on her own. She can also be cautious in unfamiliar environments or when she feels confined, so a patient adopter who allows her to explore at her own pace will be important. A quieter neighbourhood would be ideal, although she has spent time downtown and could potentially adapt to a busier environment with time. Mishka is such a special girl—loyal, affectionate, clever, and just the right amount of goofy—and watching her confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding. Once she knows you're one of her people, she has so much love to give.Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Mishka? Apply Now!https://newcollar.co/apply-to-adopt

Lucille is an incredibly social, friendly, energetic, and playful puppy who seems to think everyone she meets is her new best friend. She loves saying hello to both people and dogs and has a wonderfully happy, outgoing personality. She lives with a large dog and absolutely adores her foster sibling - they cuddle, nap, play, and zoom around the house together. She has also been wonderful with children, including a 5-year-old neighbour. Lucille is a total cuddle bug, especially when she's ready for a nap and can curl up in your arms and fall asleep. She is very food motivated and loves just about everything!Lucille is already doing well living in the city and is generally non-reactive to her surroundings. She can be startled by loud noises and will look to her people for reassurance, but otherwise handles the sights and sounds of city life well. She is also lovely when meeting other dogs, often offering play cues and a wagging tail. She's still learning the ropes of leash walking but is off to a great start. She is mostly quiet indoors and tends to only get vocal when she's excited and playing with her people or doggy friend.Lucille is working on house training, already knows sit, and settles very quickly in her crate. She sleeps well overnight, with a quick nighttime potty break before happily settling back in. She loves being around her people and can experience a little FOMO if they're doing something without her, but she's not anxious - she simply wants to be part of the action! Given her young age and wonderful social nature, Lucille could likely adapt beautifully to a home with dogs, cats, or kids. If you're looking for a cheerful, affectionate puppy who is always ready for an adventure, Lucille might be your girl!Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Lucille?

AGE: 4 monthsSEX: MaleBREED: Northern MixENERGY LEVEL: Medium/HighDOG FRIENDLY: Yep!CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep!KID FRIENDLY?: Yep!FOSTER IG: @paws.inprogressMeet Desi! Desi is a playful, affectionate, and very enthusiastic puppy who thinks everyone is his best friend. He is curious about absolutely everything and approaches life with the goofy, adventurous energy of Kevin from Up. Desi loves exploring, playing fetch with his tennis ball, tug-of-war, and getting into whatever fun thing he can find. He is also a big snuggler who loves curling up beside his people, giving kisses, or lying at their feet while they go about their day. He is very food motivated, smart, confident, and eager to learn, and already knows sit, down, paw, and stay.Desi is a very social puppy who loves meeting people and other dogs. He greets new people with lots of excitement and a constantly wagging tail, although he can become overstimulated and mouthy when he's especially excited. He is very playful with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion with a similarly playful energy and compatible play style. He has met a cat and was curious but calm and very gentle with them. Desi does have a strong interest in small animals and will chase them, although he is generally easy to redirect. He does well in a busy city environment and is confident out in the world, but can pull towards people, cyclists, or other things he finds interesting. Continued leash training will help him learn that he doesn't need to say hello to everyone he sees!Like any young puppy, Desi is still working on his manners and house training. He has lots of energy and needs plenty of mental and physical enrichment to keep his busy brain occupied, otherwise he can get into some puppy mischief, particularly chewing things he shouldn't. He is also learning impulse control and can be vocal when he doesn't get what he wants, but settles with patience and the right structure. He does well in the car and is making good progress with his crate training, especially when his needs have been met. Desi will need a patient family who is ready to continue guiding his enthusiastic puppy energy, but in return they'll get an incredibly loving, goofy, and fun little companion who is always ready for the next adventure.Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Desi?

With her beautiful, silky black coat and big-dog personality, she’s sure to keep her family smiling.Mandy is a sweet and sensitive girl who may be shy at first, but once she gets to know you, she’s a total love bug. She currently lives happily with another dog and cats, interacting with her feline housemates with curiosity and friendliness. She’s house trained, knows her basic sit, and does well in her crate when her people are away. She’s also a great little traveller and settles quickly in the car, even on hour-long rides. She’s generally good on leash but can pull when she sees another dog because she’s eager to say hello, and she’ll also try to chase squirrels, bunnies, and other small animals.Mandy is friendly but timid with new people and may be a little cautious when guests arrive, although she warms up fairly quickly, especially if they have a dog. She’s been good with the kids she’s met and would likely enjoy having a friendly or playful dog sibling. She can be sensitive to loud, unexpected noises and may bark to alert her people when she hears someone near the door. Mandy’s future family should be ready to give her plenty of love and companionship while helping her build confidence. She’s not clingy, but she is a sensitive girl with a huge heart and not a mean bone in her body.

Big Ears is a sweet, gentle, and easygoing guy who has a wonderfully calm and unassuming personality. He is generally very quiet and undemanding, and he enjoys being near his people without needing constant attention. He is perfectly happy to relax on his own and loves going for walks, exploring trails and the woods, car rides, and spending time outdoors. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys a good pace, and is generally calm around traffic and bikes. He also lives with two other dogs and is neutral when passing dogs on walks. He has a very gentle approach to other dogs and tends to avoid conflict, making him a lovely, easygoing companion.Big Ears is friendly with people and when guests arrive, he prefers to hang back and observe before approaching, rather than immediately seeking attention. He has met children and has been gentle with them. He has also met a cat and showed only mild curiosity without any inclination to chase, so he could potentially live with a dog-savvy cat. He does have some prey drive toward squirrels and rabbits and may pull toward them, but his reactions are manageable. Big Ears isn't particularly fearful, although he benefits from continued confidence building and likes to take his time when faced with something new.Big Ears is house trained and is working on his basic commands, including down, wait, and leave it. He settles very nicely when he's outside of his crate, but crate training is still a work in progress and has caused him some anxiety. Big Ears is a loving guy who would appreciate a home with some space, ideally with people who enjoy getting outside with their dog. He's just beginning to show more of his playful, energetic, and confident personality. He is such a deserving boy and would love a quiet, loving forever home where he can continue to blossom.Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Big Ears?

This adorable puppy is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. She loves romping around the yard with her squeaky toys, chewing on sticks she finds outside, and is always excited to sample a new treat. With a lovely medium energy level, Nala balances her playful puppy moments with long naps and quiet cuddle sessions, happily curling up beside her favourite person after a day of exploring. As she settles in, her goofy, energetic personality shines through more and more, bringing plenty of smiles to those lucky enough to know her. Nala can be shy when meeting new people and needs time to build trust, but once she feels safe, she forms incredibly strong bonds and becomes a loyal little shadow, always happiest close to the people she loves.Nala currently lives with both a dog and a cat and has done wonderfully with them. After being a little unsure of the cat at first, she quickly realized they could be friends and now happily tries to invite them to play. She enjoys the company of her canine housemate as well, taking cues from them on walks and playing nicely together. Given her young age, she would likely continue to do well in a home with other dogs or cats. Nala also walks beautifully on leash, remaining calm and neutral when passing other dogs and only showing a little curiosity before happily continuing on her way. She is doing an amazing job with crate training, sleeping soundly through the night, and is making good progress with her potty training.Nala is looking for a quieter home where she can continue building confidence. While she's becoming more comfortable with everyday sights and sounds, she can still be startled by things like large trucks and is generally more comfortable away from the hustle and bustle of a busy downtown environment. She is especially cautious around new people, particularly men, and needs time, patience, and gentle introductions to build trust. Once she feels safe, her affectionate side truly shines, and she forms incredibly strong bonds with her people. She may bark to alert you if something seems out of place or when unfamiliar people enter the home, but settles once she realizes everything is okay. Like any puppy, she'll benefit from continued positive socialization, training, and confidence-building as she grows. With a family willing to let her move at her own pace, Nala will reward them with unwavering loyalty, endless love, and a personality that's impossible not to adore.Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Nala?
