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, I’m Holly 🌸I’m an 11-pound Shih Tzu mix with big round eyes, a never-stop propeller tail, and a heart that’s about ten sizes too big for my tiny body.I’m sweet, gentle, and very polite—sometimes too polite. I’m still learning that I don’t have to be so submissive, but my confidence is growing every day. And when my spunky side peeks through? Oh boy—it’s adorable. Think playful zoomies followed immediately by a very serious nap.Speaking of naps… I am a professional heated-blanket burrower. If there’s a warm blanket, I’m under it. If you’re under it too? Even better. I love curling up, being carried around like the precious loaf I am, and leaning in for hugs and kisses. I love kisses. Please give many.I’m soft. Like, ridiculously soft. Silky, shiny, touch-me-forever soft. I might have a little Yorkie or mini poodle magic mixed in—mystery fluff, if you will.Other important Holly facts: • I love treats, snuffle mats, and eating in general (great appetite ✔️) • I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and cats • I’m nearly fully housetrained (I’m trying very hard, promise) • I love everyone I meet and stay endlessly positive • I’m funny and playful… but also a certified couch potato • I want to do whatever you’re doing—alwaysI’m curious, affectionate, and learning that the world is a safe, cozy place. If you’re looking for a tiny shadow with a wagging tail, soft fur, and endless love to give, I might just be your girl.*requires a QUIET & PATIENT home and location to thrive.*located in Burlington

Story
Hi there! My name is Zoey, and I’m here to prove that you really can have it all. In true Boxer fashion, I am as confident as I am stunning. I’m currently living with two male Boxer foster brothers, and we spend our days in a cycle of "wrestle, crash, cuddle, repeat."I am looking for a home that already has a Boxer sibling for me - I thrive off of being with my foster brothers - both emotionally AND meeting my energy needs. My Checklist:Potty Trained: Check! (Just show me where your door is!)Crate Trained: Check!Kid Friendly: Check! (I love humans of all sizes and have been regularly around ages 2-13)Dog Friendly: Check! (I actually require a canine sibling to keep me company!)I came to HBR because my first family found my "puppy energy" a bit too much to handle. I am a young girl with BIG energy. I need a family that will keep me busy so my "inner decorator" (aka destructive side) stays retired.I am brave, confident, outgoing and VERY loving. I have an amazing personality (pffft what boxer DOESN'T.. Am I right...) and a very kind disposition. I’m looking for a "FUR-EVER" family that understands the Boxer breed—we need exercise, mental stimulation, and lots of love. Another Boxer or like breed would be highly appreciated as a sibling! If you love Boxers .. oh and hikes, long walks and couch snuggles, I’m your girl!I am up to date with my vaccines and will be spayed Jan 29th - i will be good to go shortly after that!*located in Angus

Story
Hi I’m Riggs! I’m a handsome Boxer boy with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life. I love being outside where I can run, play, and stretch my legs. Whether I’m chasing after a toy, exploring the yard, or soaking up the sunshine, I’m happiest when I’ve got room to move and people to share my adventures with.I’m a social guy who enjoys meeting new people and making friends. My bark might sound tough, but I’m really just saying hello. I’m playful, loving, and always ready for some fun. I’d be happiest in a home with older kids or adults who appreciate my Boxer-style enthusiasm and goofy energy.At home, I’m a total sweetheart. I sleep quietly at the foot of the bed all night and love being near my people. My foster family says I’ve got a gentle side that shines through more and more every day.I’m smart, affectionate, and full of personality. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will keep you laughing, love you unconditionally, and remind you to enjoy every sunny day, I’m your guy.*located in Little Britain**Previous home said not good with cats**Prefer a home with no other dogsrequires experienced owner
