Story
We got Angel in the middle of the COVID 19 pandemic, she brought immense joy to our famnily and was the sweetes girl ever, we had our first kid in 2024 and he is extremely allergic to Angel, to the point where we had to relocate angel to our basement since he will break out in hives if they are in the same general section of the house. It is with an extremely heavy heart that we are willing to give her away since we love her. However, thinking about it rationally she will be better off with a new family that will be able to give her the love and attention we once were able to give her and even more. Angel is an absolute sweetheart and she is extremely independent, she is used to being alone for long stretches of time since my wife and I had crazy work schedules before having our kid, she has never destroyed any furniture, dug through anything or even chewed anything. we just want her to find a new forever home where she will be loved how she deserves to

Story
AGE: 3 Months SEX: Female BREED: Shepherd Mix ENERGY LEVEL: Medium DOG FRIENDLY?: Yep! CAT FRIENDLY?: Yep! KID FRIENDLY?: Yep! FOSTER IG: @covid_foster Meet Aurora! She’s a bright, adventurous and curious little pup who loves nothing more than exploring the world around her, always sniffing, investigating, and discovering new things. Aurora adores people and believes everyone she meets is a new friend; she’ll happily flop over for belly rubs from anyone willing to offer them. She enjoys chewing and chasing all kinds of toys and is highly food-motivated, making training both fun and rewarding. Aurora is settling beautifully into life in a busy downtown neighbourhood and handles the hustle and bustle with impressive confidence. She walks well on leash, though she sometimes tries to chase small animals, as many puppies do. She currently lives with another dog and could happily live with canine companions. Given her young age, she would also likely do well with both kids and cats. She has shown some reactivity toward other dogs on walks, so continued training and support will help her build positive habits as she grows. Aurora loves attention and affection, seeking closeness from her people whenever she can. She’s working on her crate training and is learning to settle, usually calming down after a few minutes and overnight she does wonderfully in her crate in a separate room. She is also working on her potty training and making steady progress with consistency and routine. With her sweet nature, eagerness to learn, and joyful curiosity, Aurora is well on her way to becoming an incredible companion. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic puppy ready to join you on every adventure, Aurora may be the perfect match! Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home for Aurora?

Story
AGE: 8 Months SEX: Female BREED: Northern Mix ENERGY LEVEL: High DOG FRIENDLY?: Yep! CAT FRIENDLY?: Likely! KID FRIENDLY?: Untested FOSTER IG: @ultimutt_fosters Meet Foxy! This energetic, adventurous pup is full of playful enthusiasm and thrives on activity - fetch at the park, tug games, zoomies after walks, you name it. Highly motivated by both toys and food, she’s smart, eager to learn, and incredibly trainable. She loves spending time with her people, though she often doesn’t cuddle for long because she’s quickly on the move to her next mission, although she will never turn down a belly rub. She loves being outside playing, exploring, and taking in everything around her. Foxy is adjusting well to life in a busy downtown neighbourhood, taking the sights and sounds of dogs and people in stride. She walks nicely on leash and offers great engagement, though she can pull when she’s excited or a bit anxious. She tends to be shy when first meeting other dogs but warms up with a bit of time and would likely do very well living with another dog. She has also met a cat at the vet clinic and greeted it calmly and curiously, so she would likely do well sharing her home with a dog-savvy cat. Her curious nature shines through on walks too, she loves watching and occasionally trying to chase birds and small animals. Indoors, she can be vocal - barking when she’s playing, training, or wanting attention, so a home without shared walls would be best. With her energy level and drive, she’d make an excellent running buddy or an enthusiastic partner for a variety of different activities! At home, Foxy enjoys greeting visitors and warms up to new people quickly, especially when pets are offered. She’s fully house trained and does well in her crate when left alone or overnight, usually whining a bit before settling. She would thrive with a family who can provide her with plenty of exercise and would love to do fun, engaging training with her. With her smarts, drive, and love for adventure, Foxy has endless potential. If you’re looking for an active, motivated companion who’s ready to learn and explore by your side, she may be the perfect fit for your family!

Story
AGE: 3 Years SEX: Female BREED: Lab Mix ENERGY LEVEL: Medium DOG FRIENDLY?: Yep! CAT FRIENDLY?: Likely! KID FRIENDLY?: Yep! (Dog-savvy kids) FOSTER IG: @bureks.foster.friends Meet Miya! Her love language is snuggling close, and nothing makes her happier than someone who will scratch her head and give her belly rubs. She enjoys leisurely walks filled with good sniffs, playing catch, and polishing off a hearty bowl of kibble. Miya is a gentle, easygoing girl who is pretty low maintenance. She’s adjusting wonderfully to city living; she handles a busy neighbourhood with no trouble and is only a bit more cautious once the sun goes down. She can be a bit of a puller on leash, so some extra training will help her shine. She currently lives with another dog, and the two adore spending time together, whether they’re playing or cuddled up side by side. True to her lab roots, she loves her toys and gathers them proudly into her own little stash. She’s also mastered crate training, sleeping soundly through the night and greeting her people each morning with pure joy. Smart and eager to please, she learns quickly and already sits patiently while her foster family sets down her meals. Miya has met a handful of new people and tends to be shy at first, needing a bit of time to warm up. She’s comfortable with a few visitors coming over but can be nervous around larger groups, preferring to observe and approach at her own pace. She previously lived with children and adored them, and she’d do well with dog-savvy kids. While she hasn’t formally met any cats, she’s been calm and curious when passing them on walks and would likely adjust well to sharing her home with one. If you’re searching for a sweet, cuddly, and laid-back companion to join you in your everyday adventures, Miya may be the perfect match!

AGE: 3 Years SEX: Female BREED: Northern Mix ENERGY LEVEL: Medium DOG FRIENDLY?: Yep! CAT FRIENDLY?: Untested KID FRIENDLY?: Yep! Meet Wendy! This sweet, affectionate girl is a total lovebug who soaks up every bit of attention she can get. She adores cuddles, hugs, belly rubs, and any excuse to be close to her people. Wendy loves to play - fetch is a favourite - and she takes great joy in destroying squeaky toys with enthusiasm. She’s also been wonderful about learning boundaries in her foster home, picking up household routines quickly and settling into family life with ease. Wendy does beautifully in a busy downtown environment, staying calm and confident around all the sights and sounds. She’s very friendly with people and has met kids on her walks, happily leaning in for pets every time. She likes other dogs as well and enjoys regular playdates with the neighbour’s dog. She does have some prey drive toward small animals, but with guidance and routine, she’s learning how to navigate walks politely. Indoors she’s generally quiet, though she may whine when left alone, and she’s currently working on crate training as she’s not a huge fan yet, but her fosters are helping her learn that it’s a safe, cozy space. At home, Wendy loves being near her people and greets guests with warmth, always hoping for more pets and belly rubs. She’s social, gentle, and eager to connect, making her a wonderful companion for a home that enjoys affection as much as she does. If you’re looking for a friendly, cuddly, people-loving pup who’s ready to be part of everyday life, Wendy may be the perfect match for your family!

Story
FELICE - Lab-Mix / 10 years / 20kg / F-Spayed Beautiful Felice turns 10 in January and we hope to start her year off on the right foot! After being with the same family for the past 6 years, she finds herself ready for a new beginning! She has gone to bootcamp, and girl has been rocking it since day 1! She knows a lot of "rules" already and benefits from consistency. If you say place, she may give you a look that says "do you mean it" and if you simply give her a "yup" she will trot off to settle. She has been a bit confused by her role of "dog", but is catching on quickly to understand her place in the family. Her play style with other dogs is a smidge wonky, as if she hasn't learned to play. Her new canine buddy Michael is working with her on chase, sharing and having fun together. (She loves it!) She is great with dogs, but has the confidence to be a solo dog in the home. She is good with kids too and had some wee humans in her past home. If you think you could be Felice’s forever, check out the adoption process and application at www.dibsrescue.com. Her adoption fee is $500. If you are a family with kids, please check out our resources on kids and dogs before you apply (https://dibsrescue.com/kids-dogs/).
