Story
Meet Marlo, he’s a pretty laid back puppy as far as little guys go! He loves to chew, take long naps on the couch and romp to his hearts content. He likes to use his head, a lot, like bumping into legs, and walls, and furniture and, did we mention legs? He’s sort of a tripping hazard, he’s BLIND you see and likes to stick close to his people whenever he’s out and about or in a new space. Until he maps it out of course then all bets are off, this boy is gonna play! He loves to make new friends and enjoys walks, he’s still having a tough time with stairs and would really love a family willing to work on cooperative care with him, his foster friends have been working on getting him comfortable with all sorts of enrichment and grooming needs but, he still doesn’t love it. He tends to get frustrated and sometimes very excited whenever there’s food or anything to chew that isn’t a toy, he’s taken a liking to books and always loves a good shoe. Marlo sleeps the night in his crate and takes regular naps in there throughout his day. He is still learning where is appropriate to eliminate but, he’s getting the hang of letting people know when he’s got to go! He loves his foster cousin who’s a husky shepherd and plays really well with her. This little dude has a big exciting life to lead and would love an active family willing to continue his cooperative care, is understanding of his physical needs and is willing to work in positive reinforcement. https://www.benevolentbullyrescue.com/adopt

Story
Please welcome our BLIND, special needs little boy! "The vet said I’m over 30 lbs already when I was there recently. They said I’m really healthy, too! My foster brother Beefy is awesome and he helps me a lot. I hope I have a brother or sister wherever I end up. But if not, I really hope I have someone who is able to help guide me while I learn their world. I’m an adventurous guy and really curious, as well. I love to play and explore. I’m excited to find out who my new family will be." If you’re interested in being Chewie’s guardian(s) please submit an application by going to our site or by clicking the link in the bio or below depending on which platform you’re using. https://www.benevolentbullyrescue.com/adopt Chewie and his people will have the regular support of the trainers on our behaviour team, in addition we have sought help from a trainer who specializes in working with blind(as well as deaf) dogs. She has given resources and we will be booking time for everyone with her as well. All we ask is a willingness to learn and desire to understand how to help Chewie thrive in his life.

Story
*no kids Hello, my name is Osito which means Teddy in Spanish. How fitting as I am cute and cuddly like a teddy bear! My foster family says I’m a sweet little guy, I am good on leash, I eat all of my food when it is served, good in my crate and I love playing with my toys. The more the better! I have no problem sleeping in bed with my human at night or staying in my crate and I enjoy cuddling up while watching TV. I give warm kisses and do a cute little dance when I am happy to see you . Ideally, I’d like a home where I won’t be left for long periods of time, and a detached home would be best for me. I like dogs although not overly playful , more of a looker, people who are respectful of my space and treats are my fav. I would like an adult home or with older respectful kids however, like many chihuahua's, we can get agitated if someone runs around up too close to us. I may feel trapped and nip out of fear so please if you have visitors, tell them to respect my boundaries and then we can be besties. I am a sweet breed, but can also get scared if I feel you are pushing me out of my comfort zone but I think that in this world we all need to learn to have respect for each other so we can all live in harmony 🙂 ••••••••• 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.justpawsanimalrescue.com. 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. This is a stipulation of our insurance and is not a reflection on suitability of the potential adopter.

Story
Bonjour, mes amis! I'm Gigi, the most adorable rescue dog you'll ever meet. Picture this: a 6 year old, 17lb charming blend of Chihuahua, Corgi, and Shiba Inu, resulting in a unique and irresistible package. And let's not forget about my magnificent colors! Whatever combination I am, I guarantee you I'm 100% magnifique! I’m ready for Paris fashion week! Not only am I jolie but I'm smart! I’m house trained but I do need your attention and a regular routine for potty breaks. Oh, and did I mention that I'm treat motivated? Yes, indeed! Show me a tasty treat, and things will be fantastique! Now, let's talk about my energy levels. I am a speedy runner, my friends! I love zooming around the backyard, feeling the wind in my fur. Playtime is essential for me, but after just an bit of excitement, I do enjoy winding down with a good cuddle. Once I get to know you, I'm a cuddle expert. However, at first, I might be a bit shy. Give me some time to warm up, and I'll shower you with affection. As for my vocal abilities, well, let's just say I am an excellent chanteuse. So, it's probably best if I find a place to live without shared walls or with thicker walls to muffle my charming songs. I'm pretty easygoing when it comes to other dogs. I enjoy their company, but I can also be content as a solo dog, basking in all the love you have to offer. I even went through a cat test, and guess what? I simply ignored the kitty! So, there you have it, folks! If you're looking for a loyal companion who will brighten up your home with ann adorable presence and incredible sense of style, then I'm your perfect match. Let's embark on this pawsome adventure together! À bientôt! 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.
