SPECIAL ADOPTION FEE – Open to Foster-to-Adopt!*Located in St. CatharinesMeet Bea – Your Beautiful New Best Friend!Hi there! I’m Bea — short for bea-utiful, and trust me, my charm goes way beyond my name.If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate companion who’s always ready for snuggles, adventures, and a little bit of silliness, then I might be the perfect pup for you! I’m a people-loving girl who thrives on human connection. I prefer to be your one-and-only furry friend — more love for me, more cuddles for you!I may be hearing impaired, but I make up for it with a big heart, a super sniffer, and a hilarious collection of sounds that will keep you laughing. I’m not shy about expressing myself! Because of my chatty personality, I’d be happiest in a home with space to be myself — so something other than apartment life would be ideal.One of the coolest things about me? I’m learning American Sign Language! My foster mom has been teaching me hand signals, and I’ve been picking them up like a pro. I love learning new things and showing off my skills.I do best in calm, predictable environments and appreciate a little time to settle into new routines. But once I feel safe, I’m all in — loyal, loving, and endlessly devoted. I enjoy the great outdoors (bug-chasing is a passion of mine!), and when we’re done exploring, I’ll be right next to you for a cozy nap.I’ll thrive in a home where I’m not left alone too often — I just love being with my people so much. With a bit of patience and lots of love, I’ll show you just how special I am.Ready to fall in love? I know I am. Let’s meet and see if we’re meant to be!Click “Adopt” and let’s start our happily ever after. 🐾With love,BeaXO

Story
***APPLICATIONS CLOSED 4 NOVEMBER 2025***NO FURTHER APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED***Hi, I'm Daisy! I'm a gentle, loving girl with a soft heart and an even softer spot for cozy couches. I adore people and am happiest when I'm getting attention or relaxing nearby. I love going for short walks to sniff and explore, then curling up for a nap afterward. I'm house trained, quiet, and feel safe and content in my crate.I'm looking for a calm, kind family who will help me keep building my confidence. I can live happily in a suburban, rural, or quieter city home. I don't need a big yard or lots of exercise; a few short walks and some cuddle time make me very happy. I can be left alone during the day, though I do loove having company.I do well with calm, friendly dogs when introductions are slow and gentle. I could live with the right dog, as long as my new family is patient and understanding. I can be selective of dogs and reactive when I see other dogs when on walks, but I am improving every day with positive training. For now, I am learning to stay calm when at a distance from another dog outside. I'm an easygoing, affectionate companion who will make you smile every day. Everyone who meets me says I'm kind, smart, and truly special. I can't wait to meet you and to find a family of my own to love!*located in Toronto

Story
***APPLICATIONS CLOSED 5 NOVEMBER 2025***NO FURTHER APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED***Hi folks, my name is Remy!I’m a gorgeous dark brindle Boxer with a sweet, curious personality and a heart full of love. My foster mom says I’m a “little beauty” at around 51 lbs, which is small for a Boxer—but I make up for it with extra kisses!I get along great with other dogs, both big and small, though I haven’t met any cats yet. I love to play outside, chase squirrels (they’re just so tempting!), and then relax on the couch for some quiet snuggles. I’m crate-trained, house-trained, and sleep well at night, though I’d secretly rather be in bed with my person.I enjoy liver treats, squeaky toys, and pretty much any chance to give you kisses. I’m gentle, affectionate, and always up for a good walk or hike—though I still pull a bit on leash and could use a family willing to help me practice.Whether you’re an active household, a quiet home, or somewhere in between, I’ll fit right in. I’ve met kids, loved them, and I’m kind to seniors too. I’m ready to find my forever family—one that will love me as much as I’ll love them! 💕🐶- Located in Belleville Best fit for foster:Flexible!

ADOPTION PENDING💖 Meet Bella — The Frenchie of Your Dreams 💖Hi there… is this thing on? 🎤 Because I’ve got big news — I’m officially searching for my forever home, and I think it might be yours! 🐾I’m Bella, a charming, gentle, and unbelievably sweet French Bulldog with a heart full of love and a talent for lounging like a pro. My foster mom says I’m the calmest Frenchie she’s ever met — and I actually listen! (I know, hard to believe, right?)🛋️ Vibe Check: Chill QueenIf you’re looking for a drama-free best friend, I’m your girl. I spend my days sunbathing in the yard or curled up like royalty on the couch. I don’t need much — just a cozy spot near my people, a few snuggles, and a peaceful place to call home.🏡 My Perfect Forever Home:Kids? I adore people of all ages, but I’d be happiest in a home with older children (ages 6+), where things are a bit more mellow.Other Pets? I once tolerated a 3 lb chihuahua (true story), but let’s keep it real — I thrive best as your one and only. No other pets, please.Apartment Living? Maybe not ideal — I like to warm up my vocal cords in the mornings (just a few arias, nothing crazy).Lifestyle Fit? I’m not trying to summit Everest. A short daily stroll, some time in the yard, and I’m good to go.🧠 The Good Girl Resume:Housetrained ✅No separation anxiety ✅No resource guarding ✅Comes when called ✅Will stop barking when asked (told you I was amazing) ✅💕 Ideal Match:I’m looking for a mellow, loving home — maybe with a retired person, a quiet couple, or a homebody who wants a loyal little shadow. If you’ve got a soft couch, a warm heart, and room for one perfect pup, we just might be soulmates.Ready to meet Bella?Submit an application or reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet — Bella can’t wait to lounge her way into your heart. 🐾👑I’m not perfect — I can be leash reactive and should never go to dog parks. But if you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who wants nothing more than to be your shadow and soak up all your cuddles, I just might be your perfect match.So… I’m gonna go take a nap now. 🐶💤 But if you think we’re meant to be, go ahead and fill out that application! I’ll be dreaming about you until then.With love (and some light snoring),Bella 💕Located in Keswick

Story
Coming soon- not yet available for adoption ( will be only available to those on the French bulldog waitlist)Hi, I’m NOVA!I’m a French Bulldog with a lot of sass and speed! I love food and the outdoors - I just love being outside. I just arrived in care and my foster family is still learning about me. So far, I am trying to make friends with my resident fur sibling (but he is a little jealous of my charm I think!) and I am house trained. I sleep all night in my crate and I love being around people. I am dealing with some medical issues right now and am not available for adoption yet, but once I'm ready I am excited to meet my new family!
