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
Hi, my name is Leo. You might look at my handsome face and think that I am a puppy, I get mistaken for a very young dog all the time! Infact I am a perky 10 year old with lots of pep in my step and a big love for life. My favourite things to do are going for walks, exploring the outdoors, car rides, and curiously looking out the front windows for people and dogs passing by, and giving my owners a friendly heads up when someone is about to knock. I am very attentive and have excellent hearing and obey when I am called or given a command. I love when people call my name to race them, where I will run alongside them for short bursts which makes everyone laugh. I have a lovely personality where I like attention and enjoy some petting but I am also independent and like space to chill out. I will often nap happily on a rug or carpet closest to whoever my favourite person in the house is. I am a loving companion with no issues or concerns and healthy as can be. I love to sleep quietly through the night and can be left solo in the house for 8-9 hours no problem with zero accidents. I will just sleep and wait until you come home for some back rubs while I give your hands some happy kisses. Can’t wait to share my love and my life with you. *located in Burlington

Story
ADOPTION PENDINGThe humans call me Ruby, but I prefer Gossip Girl because I need to know what’s happening! I love meeting every person and sniffing every dog in the neighbourhood. ❤️I’m a sweet, low-maintenance bulldog who loves attention, food, slow mosey walks, and being wherever my people are. I’m perfectly happy to chill at home, but I’d love an owner who enjoys taking me along for adventures like the farmers market, food trucks, or patio time. I’m great with people, generally good with dogs and even cats, and would prefer a calm, respectful sibling.I’ve had bilateral TPLO surgeries while in foster care and am still working on my rehab. I’ll never be an athlete, but with a healthy weight, regular walks, and someone willing to help me build strength, I can live a happy, comfortable life. I’m a good listener with excellent recall and a very talented (slightly lopsided) sit. I’m also house-trained, crate-trained, and I don’t chew things I shouldn’t!I adore sunshine naps, fresh-from-the-dryer blankets, rope toys, butt scratches, and face squishes. I’m not much of a cuddler and prefer my own comfy bed—ideally one in every room so I can keep an eye on things!I’m a girl who loves everyone but would really love to find my one special person. Could that be you? 🐾❤️*located in EverettBest fit: Loving home with plenty of human interaction and companionship.Home type: Any — city, suburban, rural, or farm. Minimal stairs and carpeting preferred.Kids: Respectful children of any age; not a good fit for a loud or high-energy household.Seniors: Excellent fit.Activity level: Moderate — enjoys slow sniff walks and low-key adventures, but also needs calm downtime.Other pets: Fine with calm, lower-energy dogs or other pets.Alone time: Can manage up to 6 hours, but would prefer a home where she has more companionship.Exercise: Several slow walks daily, with continued rehab and strength exercises.Not a good fit: Homes with lots of stairs, high-energy kids or dogs, dog parks, or a chaotic/noisy environment.Special consideration: Adopter must be committed to continuing Ruby’s rehabilitation and hind-end strengthening.

***NOT ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS YET******COMING SOON***Hi, I’m Peggy! I’m an 8-year-old girl with plenty of energy and love to give. I’m house trained, great with kids and dogs, and I absolutely love to play. I’m also a total cuddle bug and love being my person’s little shadow, whether that means curling up beside you in bed, snuggling under a blanket, or finding the comfiest dog bed in the house. I’m sweet, playful, and happiest when I’m with my people. My foster family was told I’m good with cats, although I haven’t met any in my foster home yet. I’ll be looking for my forever family soon and can’t wait to meet you!*Located in Orangeville

APPLICATION'S CLOSED- JULY 27Hi, I'm Benny! ❤️Looking for a little shadow with a huge personality? I might be your perfect match!I'm a young Frenchie who loves adventures, daily walks, sniffing every corner of the yard, and being wherever my people are. Playtime is my favorite, but once I've burned off some energy, I'm all about cuddles, naps, and showing off my award-worthy snore.I'm still working on my manners and almost have house-training mastered, so I'll do best with a patient family, older kids/teens, and someone who's home a lot. If you already have a dog, I'd love a friendly, easygoing buddy my size. Since I'm a French Bulldog, I'll also need a family who understands my breed and can help me stay cool and comfortable.In return? You'll get a goofy, affectionate best friend who will keep you laughing, keep your feet warm, and remind you that life is better with a Frenchie by your side.Think we could be the perfect match? I can't wait to meet you!Love,Benny 🐾*located in Cavan
