Story
Meet Paige! 🐾Paige is a sweet, gentle lady who is looking for an understanding and patient home where she can truly relax and just be a dog. While she has a loving heart, loud noises and sudden changes can be stressful for her, so she'll do best with adopters who can offer consistency, calm, and reassurance.Paige gets along well with other dogs and even cats, making her a wonderful companion for a multi-pet household. She does well in a crate and finds comfort in having a safe, quiet space of her own.Because quick movements and loud sounds can be overwhelming, Paige may not be the best fit for a home with small children. She would thrive in a more peaceful environment where her gentle nature can shine.With patience, understanding, and love, Paige will reward her forever family with loyalty and affection. She's ready to find a home where she feels safe, supported, and cherished. 💕Contact the Orillia Centre for more information on adoption:📍 Location: 467 West Street North, Orillia, Ontario📞 Phone: 705-325-1304✉️ Email: orillia@ontariospca.ca Primary Color: Brindle Weight: 32.09 Age: 5yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Please say hello to Mr. Nash! Nash is an approx. 6-year-old mixed breed boy who came to us from Moose Factory. This handsome boy is as sweet as he is striking, super cuddly, affectionate, and happiest when hes soaking up love from his people. Nash has made wonderful progress with his house training and continues to improve each day. Hes crate trained (especially if there are treats involved!) and settles in nicely at night. On leash, hes enthusiastic and may pull when excited to see other dogs or animals (squirrels!), but with continued guidance hell keep getting better. He also rides calmly in the car and is a gentleman at the vet. Because Nash can be protective of treats and toys around other dogs, hes best suited as the only dog in the household. He has also shown some guarding behaviors with children when high-value items are involved, so hell thrive in a home without kids or with older, dog-savvy children. Nash hasnt been tested with cats, though he did show a little too much interest in them during a vet visit, so a cat-free home is recommended. Nash will thrive in a home where he can be the center of attention as the only dog, with no cats or small animals. Hell do best with adults or older, dog-savvy kids who understand the need to give him space around high-value items. What Nash really needs is a family committed to continuing his training and helping him feel secure. With consistency and love, hes sure to blossom into the loyal, affectionate companion hes meant to be. His foster family describes Nash as a cuddly, special boy who cant get enough of belly rubs and neck scratches. He adores his people and happily soaks up every bit of attention he can get. Nash spends much of his day lounging outdoors and is always up for a walk or an adventure. With his affectionate personality and love for the outdoors, Nash is sure to bring warmth, joy, and companionship to the right home.

Story
Tehya is an 8+ year-old sweetheart whos learning what it means to be loved after spending her early years in a puppy mill. Every day, she grows a little braver and a lot more adorable! This gentle girl is crate, leash, and house trained, rides nicely in the car, and gets along well with men, women, and other animals. While untested with children, she would do best in a calm home where she can relax and blossom at her own pace. Tehya is discovering the joys of home life following her foster buddy Moose into the living room, claiming her cozy bed, and curling up beside her person on the couch. She now comes out of her crate with a happy dance, wagging her tail and ready for snuggles when her foster parents come home. Her appetite is great, and she takes her grooming and ear care like a little champ. Shes making wonderful progress confidently exploring, enjoying quiet companionship, and learning that affection feels pretty amazing. Tehya would love another gentle dog in her new home to guide her as she continues to build confidence. At night, she prefers to snooze near her person, safe and content. Note, Tehya has sensitive ears and will need her ears flushed 2x a week. Dental work Tehya required has already been completed. Tehya is still discovering the world, one small victory at a time and its clear shes ready to keep blooming with a family who will cherish her gentle spirit and celebrate every happy dance to come. Are you ready to welcome Tehya's mellow spirit into your family? Please visit our website www.preciouspawsrescue.ca to submit an adoption application.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.mixed breed | UTD | neutered | fostered in Barrie, ON  Lazarus started this life very under-socialized - contained in a basement with his siblings and parents. Coming into rescue has been so scary for him - Laz will need an adopter who understands this and is willing to work with him through his feelings and help him with consistency, routine and training  Dog friendly &#226&#156&#133 Laz has been exposed to dogs of many sizes from 10lbs to 100lbs, and multiple personalities. He requires calm introductions but he quickly loves other dogs and loves to play. His ideal home will be one with dogs his same size or larger, no small dogs please. Cats &#226&#157&#140 He's been exposed to cats and does chase them. Older kids only &#226&#157&#140 He is not a fan of young children. When on a walk if he hears or sees them even at a distance he reacts and can be hard to redirect. He does react with fear to all humans but settles quicker to women. His foster mom is working hard on socialization  House trained he goes outside often and he goes and sits by the door when he needs to go out but he does still have some accidents  He is good on leash and loves to go for walks, but is a puller and reacts to strangers and is very interested in birds and squirrels. Crate trained &#226&#156&#133 while his foster mom works during the day Laz is crated. At night he sleeps in bed with his foster mom and other foster siblings.  Car rides &#226&#156&#133 He is improving in the car with some practice - he does require a little coaxing to go in.  Laz is a chewer so tough chew toys are a must, he also likes toys that squeak and will quickly dissect stuffies - thankfully he’s not known to ingest the stuffy guts. He loves tug of war especially if it’s with a doggy friend and chasing balls.  He has not showed any toy or food guarding and waits his turn for his treats. He will go and sit in his crate at meal time and waits till he gets the "ok" to eat. He does eat quickly and currently has a slow feeder. He is a high energy dog and loves to play. He is very smart and does learn quickly but is also a little stubborn. When its rest time he is a snuggler and likes to give kisses, attempts to be a lap dog but will settle glued to your hip.  All adopters are offered complimentary training with our certified and accredited trainer Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 7, 2025, 2:49 pm
