Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Stitch 3-year-old Merle Bulldog Mix | One blue eye | 100% bulldog energy, opinions, and audacity Stitch is the kind of dog who looks like a Disney character and acts like a WWE wrestler who means well. He’s hilarious, handsome, and full of personality—but make no mistake… this is not a beginner bulldog. The Good Stuff (aka why you’ll fall in love): • Certified cutie with a chaos streak • Walks nicely on leash like a civilized gentleman • Crate trained, house trained, and great in the car • Very friendly and loves being part of the action • Has worked HARD on learning how to play appropriately • Can now play with toys and disengage without losing his marbles (growth!!) • Doing much better with self-regulation, especially with dogs who have clear boundaries • Extremely food motivated and has learned how to use that drive for good—he picks up training very quickly and loves having a job The Fine Print (please read, seriously): • No young kids — Stitch is boisterous, pushy, and forgets his size • Must live with another dog of similar size and compatible play style • No reactive dogs, no high-drive dogs — that combo = bad decisions • He can get overstimulated and go over threshold if play isn’t managed • Needs structure, consistency, and humans who believe in rules (even when he’s cute) • He’s improved massively, but still requires management and supervision during play Food Snob Alert (and Training Cheat Code): Stitch has some sensitivities and is currently thriving on a raw diet. His future family must be willing to continue raw or work with us to transition him carefully to a kibble that works with his genetics. Bonus: Stitch is VERY food motivated, which makes training a dream when done properly. He’s learned how to channel that drive into focus, engagement, and good choices—and he loves working for his meals. Enrichment Is Not Optional To be the best version of himself, Stitch requires both mental and physical enrichment. Walks alone won’t cut it—he thrives with training sessions, structured play, puzzles, sniffing, and activities that make him think. When his needs are met, he’s a rockstar. When they aren’t… well, bulldog opinions will be voiced. Bottom line: Stitch is not a couch potato. He’s not a project for someone who wants “easy.” He is hilarious, loving, loyal, and incredibly rewarding for the right home. Cute? Yes. Assholey? Also yes. Worth it? Absolutely—if you’re his people. * HE IS A MANAGEMENT CASE BUT IS 100% MANAGABLE IN THE RIGHT HOME * He currently lives with 6 other dogs, a cat, and others coming in and out Apply only if you respect bulldogs, boundaries, and the fact that Stitch runs a tight ship. https://www.hankshaven.ca/info/adoption Stitch’s welcome post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1CwK3Y5ygX/?mibextid=wwXIfrVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 24, 2026, 12:45 pm

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Lazarus 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. Laz is being fostered in Barrie, ON Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 10, 2026, 7:00 pm

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet River River is a young Georgia Peach. She came to us after being rescued from a ditch, where people fed her for 3 weeks to gain her trust to be able to secure her. She is a timid but very loving girl, and has blossomed in the time she has been in care. It turns out River has a malformed leg, and hip dysplasia (in both hips), which may lead to her being in a wheelchair at some point in her life but for now she is happy and mobile. River's perfect home would have at least one other dog and to have humans with a lot of patience, time, love and affection for her as she takes her time to open up to them. Once she does, she is a stage 5 clinger so ideally someone who is home often would be great. Her favorite toy is a snuffle ball and favorite activity is cuddling and sleeping near her humans. River’s foster mom had this to say about her: “She is the sweetest snuggliest girl. Very silly and gets quite excited. Great unique little personality when jealous. She loves her k9 companions and is very caring. No accidents in the home nor destructive behaviours. Just a sweet easy girl aside from her skittish behavior. She loves to take the clothes of her people and lay with them or on them“ River really needs another dog in her forever home as a companion and to help with her confidence. When meeting other dogs while loose and playing, she’s playful. On leash she can be more cautious River has been around young children She does not like their loud noises or fast movements. With some time and with considerate and dog savvy kids, she will eventually come around and will slowly allow pets and contact. River is cautious when meeting new people and can particularly be weary of men. With exposure she can become more comfortable over time. She first likes to circle and observe. River is quite skiddish and does not like loud noises and needs time to warm up with slow introductions. She is starting leash training with her foster mom. It took her quite some time to become comfortable walking on leash and enjoying it but she’s now starting to be more comfortable and will walk along side her foster fur sister. Crate trained &#226&#156&#133 River is crate trained however she likes to sleep in bed with her foster mom and is not put in her crate when left alone as she is not destructive River does okay in the car It’s not her favourite place and she can become anxious if in the car without her people or her foster fur sibling. She has not shown any resource guarding of any kind including with toys, food, or treats. River is a low-medium energy girlie. She currently does water therapy at Puddle Paws Hydrotherapy and on days she has no therapy, she has 2 short walks. ADOPTION FEE: River’s adoption fee is fully sponsored THERAPY FEE: River’s water therapy is fully sponsored. Her continuing sponsorship of water therapy will be discussed with approved applicants. MEDICATION FEE: Her ongoing medication costs are: Metacam and Gabapentin, as needed River is being fostered in Orillia, ON Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 9:04 am

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Fancy — the Spicy, Smart, Sporty Girl Who’s Ready to Impress Fancy is a 3-year-old, 55-lb cattle dog mix who has completely blossomed in foster care. After raising her seven puppies like an absolute champ, she’s now stepping into her own — and wow, is she ever shining. This girl is brilliant, energetic, and ridiculously fun. She loves to work, loves to learn, and loves to show off just how clever she is. Fancy has just started bite club and is loving it… future IGP candidate?? She’s the kind of dog who’s always ready for the next adventure and would be up for trying anything you throw her way. Her personality is pure joy: she “talks” to share her feelings, proudly brings you toys (or the occasional rock) as gifts, and absolutely adores other dogs. She’s great with dog friends, good with cats, crate trained, walks beautifully on leash, and has the perfect spicy-sweet balance that makes heelers so special. Fancy is still gaining confidence with people. She warms up to women faster, but with a confident, experienced handler, she thrives with anyone. Because she can be unsure around unpredictable little humans, she’s looking for a home with no small kids, and preferably with another dog to help show her the ropes. Fancy has exceeded every expectation. She’s smart, loyal, goofy, athletic, and incredibly rewarding. If you’re looking for a sport prospect, training partner, or all-around amazing companion… Fancy might just be the one. Fancy is being fostered in Bracebridge, ONVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 9:04 am
