Story
Tater and a sibling were dumped outside and left to fend for themselves. Luckily, they were found and brought to a shelter, and he has made his way into our care. He’s almost 6 mos now and growing like a weed. So far he is good with all people and dog selective, but social and happy. Tater requires a home that has people in it most of the time- so a 'work from home' situation would be ideal! If you can give this beautiful little buddy a home for him to grow into his soon-to-be large self, apply on our website! www.benevolentbullyrescue.com

Story
This little smoosh named Lena is an 8 mos old Bulldog mix. She had a less than ideal start to her life being tied outside for the majority of it. She is approximately 60lbs but will probably grow a fair bit, and end up in the 80lb range. Lena is in need of people that will give her the time, patience and understanding that she will need to flourish. She has lots of energy and gets reaaaallly excited to play and interact. But with some help she could easily be taught to use these things as positive attributes.

This is a courtesy post. Please email bryan.patrick.raymond@gmail.com for further information. Meet Malice Rhodes: Your Active, Social, and Well-Mannered Companion Malice Rhodes is a delightful one-year-old Presa Canario weighing approximately 75 pounds. With a striking combination of athleticism and an easy-going nature, he brings the best of both worlds to any home. Personality and Behavior: When outdoors, Malice Rhodes thrives in an active environment, engaging in various activities and displaying his athleticism. However, once inside, he easily transitions into a calm and settled state, making him an ideal companion for both active and relaxed lifestyles. He doesn't demand excessive exercise but is more than capable of being lively if that's the pace you prefer. His social nature extends to both humans and fellow canine companions, displaying a friendly and open attitude in various social settings. Training and Behavior: Malice Rhodes boasts basic obedience skills and has been effectively crate trained. Interestingly, while he behaves exceptionally well within the home, he's equally comfortable outside the confines of the crate, exhibiting commendable behavior throughout. He doesn't display resource guarding tendencies, aggression, or separation anxiety, which makes him a truly remarkable pet. Specific Considerations: One important aspect to note is that while Malice Rhodes is typically sociable with other dogs, he may occasionally display humping behavior (roughly 5% of the time). As a result, a meet-and-greet with any potential dog siblings would be necessary to ensure compatibility and a harmonious living environment. Ideal Home Situation: Malice Rhodes is adaptable and would thrive in various home settings. His welcoming demeanor and lack of specific behavioral issues make him an excellent addition to families seeking a loyal, social, and well-mannered canine companion. Overall, Malice Rhodes is a gem of a dog, offering the perfect blend of sociability, adaptability, and good behavior. His presence will undoubtedly bring joy and companionship to any household lucky enough to welcome him.

Story
Meet Cosmo: Your Future Furry Companion Hello, future pet parents! My name is COSMO, and I'm on a quest to find my forever home. I recently found myself in the care of Just Paws and my amazing foster dad because my previous owner could no longer take care of me. But no worries, I'm ready to bring love, joy, and companionship to a new family! **About Me:** - **Breed:** Cockpoo Mix - **Age:** 2 years old - **Weight:** 27lbs. **Groomed and Ready:** I may have arrived as a long-haired, matted mess, but check out my fabulous post-grooming photos! I was a good boy with the groomer. Thanks to the care of my foster dad, I'm feeling refreshed and looking forward to my next adventure. My new family will need to keep me groomed as I’m the type of dog who needs it. **Health Update:** I was neutered on March 18. I received a good health check from the Vet – vaccinated and microchipped as well. The vet staff said I was a sweet boy. I have recovered from the surgery and ready to find my forever home. **Living Situation:** - **House Training:** Is good with only just a couple of accidents. Don’t expect perfection, especially as I adjust to my new forever home – it takes time and patience. - **Kids:** I would probably be best in an adult only home. I’m still going through some puppy nipping at times so I don’t want to upset the kids plus I have lots of energy, so much older kids is better. - **Leash Skills:** Getting there, with a touch of nervousness around other dogs (but probably due to my lack of walking/socialization in the past). Leash training is a must as I also like to pull. - **Sleep Habits:** I'm a champion sleeper, and I love a good cuddle session. I’m used to sleeping close to my humans. - **Crate:** I’m just OK in my crate with the door left open but I prefer not to have a crate. I get very upset if you close the crate door and I only like to go in the crate when I’m ready. I like to be close to my people but I’m good on my dog bed. **Energy and Playtime:** I'm a medium-energy pup who adores chasing and playing in the backyard. My foster dad thinks I'd do well with another friendly dog (but not necessary) and an active family. While I'm still getting used to walks and socializing, I'm eager to learn and explore the world with you. The more walks and playtime I get, makes for a happier and well-adjusted dog. **Ideal Home:** For now, a house with a secure fenced yard would be perfect for me. I am not suited for the apartment lifestyle as I do bark – and that would be very annoying to your neighbours. My foster dad believes I'll thrive in a loving home where I receive attention, playtime, and, most importantly, lots of love. It would be great if you don’t leave me for long periods of times – when my foster dad leaves I only bark for a minute or two – I eagerly await his return and excited to see him. Experienced dog owner is probably best for me as I do need some training (unless you are willing to invest in a Trainer). I get very excited and barky when new people come into the home to visit but will settle. I went for a playdate with 3 other dogs at the home and I did OK. **Final Thoughts:** There's still much to discover about but I'm already looking forward to finding a family that will cherish me forever. If you're ready to open your heart and home to a cuddly, friendly, and playful companion, I might just be the perfect match for you! My foster dad thinks I’m an amazing little guy. It is going to take time for me to adjust to a new home but if you got the time, love and patience I’m sure I will be happy as I have been through a lot of change in my young life – I need some stability to know I have found my forever home. Interested in making me a part of your family? Apply for me. Let's embark on this journey of love and friendship together! ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details! An application for me can be found at www.justpaws.ca. Just Paws is located in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. We do not adopt out of province or country. Please note that although many of our dogs get along with children, we are not able to adopt to any household with kids under the age of 8 years old.
