Story
Oh, Boomer, you are a love and a frustration all rolled into one beautiful package. Boomer was sold to a family with young children during Covid and that meant he had a lot of people home all the time and didn't get much of the socialization he should have received. He did get a lot of company at home though! Unfortunately the young boy in the family fell ill, they needed to move and were unable to bring Boomer with them. That's how he came into our care. We've been taking out time getting to know him because as much as he is a lovely boy, he has his struggles too.

Meet Wanda – A Dream Dog, Loving, Affectionate Companion Ready for Her Health Journey! Wanda is the kind of dog dreams are made of! She’s a sweet, affectionate girl with a heart full of love, eager to share it with those around her. At 5 years old and 74lbs, she thrives on human connection and enjoys nothing more than cuddles and kisses. Wanda is looking for a caring partner to join her in her weight-loss journey, offering support, encouragement, and maybe even some fitness adventures along the way! This lovely lady walks well on a leash and enjoys leisurely strolls or group hikes—just grab the leash, and she’s ready to go! With a bit of help, she’ll be on her way to reaching her health goals, and who knows, maybe even running a marathon one day! Wanda is fully house-trained and doesn’t require a crate, making her an easy, low-maintenance companion. She’s also a low-shedding girl, so you can enjoy her cuddles without worrying about shedding on your furniture. Social, gentle, and a true dream dog, Wanda enjoys the company of other dogs but has a special affinity for humans. She’s a calm soul who’d do best in a home with an older couple who understand her need for some quiet downtime, whether that’s napping on her bed or lounging at your feet. While generally calm, Wanda may occasionally let out a small alert bark when something catches her attention. This sweet girl would flourish in a home with a fenced yard where she can explore and observe the world at her own pace. She would thrive either as the only pet, soaking up all your love and attention, or with a mature, calm dog companion. If you’re looking for a kind, loving, and easy-going companion to share your life and health journey, Wanda may just be the perfect addition to your home! Currently being fostered in Mount Albert (north of Newmarket). ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details!

Story
Meet Tere – Your Future Couch Buddy & Adventure Pal! Fostered in Waterloo Tere is a 3 year old 42lb sweet, playful Beagle/dachshund mix with a low-to-medium energy level who’s looking for her forever home. This lovely girl enjoys the simple things in life – a cozy dog bed, a comfy spot on the couch, and a good walk to explore the world with her nose leading the way. The Basics: • Dog-friendly? Absolutely! • Cat-friendly? Untested • Kid-friendly? Best with kids over 8 • Sleeps on: Dog bed and couch – total comfort queen • Energy level: Low to medium – playful but chill • Walks: Loves both short and long walks, but does need work on leash skills • Shedding? Yes! • Grooming needs: Regular brushing will help keep her coat in check Personality & Training: Tere is confident and friendly – no fear of people or new places. She can be protective of her food, so her foster is working on that using positive reinforcement. She’ll benefit from continued gentle training to reinforce good manners. She gets along well with other dogs and would do well either alone or with one other one in her home that’s of a similar size. Home Requirements: Tere needs a fenced yard and a detached home – she loves her outdoor time and is more of a barker when outside, so she will not suited for condo life. She can be left alone for up to 4 hours. Exercise Needs: She enjoys daily walks (and needs them to burn off her energy) and would do well with a dog walker or active adopter. Doggy daycare could also be a great outlet for her if introduced properly. Ready to Meet Tere? She’s full of love, always down for a walk or snuggle, and is ready to bring joy to a home that fits her needs. If you’ve got a fenced yard, a bit of patience for training, and a heart ready for love – Tere might be your perfect match! ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly.

*** LOOKING FOR A VERY SPECIAL ADOPTER *** Hi! It's me, Denver. I am a very special boy. You see, I have been having some seizures. Just Paws, with the help of the many generous donations was able to pay for an MRI for me and I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I've been working to get my medications right so I'm looking for a very special adopter who is willing to take on my condition and give me all the love and care I deserve. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let me tell you what makes me an AMAZING pup. I am fully housetrained and will run to the back door whenever I need to do my business. I'm actually pretty clever, if I say so myself!   I am crate trained and sleep soundly all night. I won't wake up until you do! I don't need to be crated but I do not mind it. I have free reign of the house because I don't get into mischief. When my foster family goes out, I tend to look out the window until they come home. I'm such a good boy! I do get the zoomies from time to time so I'm not always my chill self, but that's when I show my fun side! I get short bursts of zoomies and I can jump quite high, as my foster mom thinks I must have some Jack Russell in me. I may nip your clothes because I think it's fun but I'm learning that that's not how we show affection! I'm great with other dogs so I would be fine with a fur sibling, but I would also be fine as the only fur baby in your life. But most of all I'm the biggest cuddle bug. My foster family loves it because I just want to lie as close to them as possible! I'll even fall asleep in your arms! Epilepsy is a manageable condition and I'm only 3 years old so I have lots of life still in me. My medication will cost less than a cup of coffee per day but Just Paws has also reduced my adoption fee to $500. In return I promise I'll be a happy addition to your home if you are willing to take a chance on me! Adopt me today! Denver is being fostered in Richmond Hill. ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details!

Story
Meet Ayla – A Sweet Soul Ready for Her Second Chance Birthday: July 10, 2021
Breed: Beagle
Weight: 20 lbs Ayla is a gentle, soft-eared beauty who’s been blossoming since arriving at her foster home with Just Paws Animal Rescue. After spending much of her early life in a cage, she’s discovering the joys of freedom, safety, and love – and she’s so ready to be part of a forever family. Ayla is incredibly sweet and finds comfort in following her fellow dog friends around, learning from them and gaining confidence each day. She’s especially fond of liver treats, couch cuddles, and quietly chewing on her favorite bones. While she’s still getting the hang of housetraining, she’s picking it up quickly thanks to the guidance of her canine companions. She sleeps peacefully on her dog bed in her playpen at night, and during the day, she sticks close to the people she trusts. Ayla is good with kids but would do best in a cat-free home – she can’t help but see them as something to chase! Because of her past, Ayla wasn't taught how to walk on a leash and can be unsure of the outside world. But despite this, she is showing so much potential and a loving, gentle nature. Ideally, her future home would include another dog – especially a nurturing dog who can show her the ropes. Her fosters describe her as “lovely and beautiful,” and it’s easy to see why. If you’re someone with a kind heart, a cozy couch, and room for a little beagle love in your life, Ayla might just be your perfect match. To adopt Ayla, please send in an application – she’s ready to give all her love to the family she’s been waiting for. Fostered in Thornhill. ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details!

Story
Goodbye, Ruby Tuesday? Not if we can help it. Let’s say Hello, Goodbye to Ruby’s past and Come Together to find her forever home. Ruby is a tiny 9-year-old, 10-pound Yorkie-terrier(?) mix. Ruby has charmed us all with her look of permanent surprise and the most charming little underbite this side of “Abbey Road.” Ruby has sadly had a “Long and Winding Road”—her early life was marked by fear and abuse, and she recently lost the one person who truly loved and protected her because she passed away. Now Ruby’s quietly waiting for a second chance and “With a Little Luck,” she will find her forever home. After such a “Hard Day’s Night” of a life, we’re working extra hard is to make sure making sure Ruby’s next home is her last. After all she’s been through, Ruby is understandably, shy, cautious and skittish. She's shy, yes—but also incredibly loving, sweet and soulful in a way that can only be described as “Something” special. Despite her small size, Ruby may not want to be picked up, but if you sit beside her on the floor and offer a gentle belly rub, she'll be saying “I Want to Hold Your Hand” in her own quiet way. Ruby’s got her “Ticket to Ride” when it comes to housetraining—she’s completely reliable and even handles stairs like a pro. She loves the simple joys: sitting by your side, sunshine, and a cozy bed. Whether she’s relaxing in “Strawberry Fields” (or, you know, a fenced-in yard) or heading out on a short walk on a “Long and Winding Road,”Ruby would be thrilled to share the journey with someone who enjoys life’s peaceful moments. Ruby’s sweetness extends to other dogs but doesn’t really play — she's more “Let It Be” than “Twist and Shout.” We’re not sure how Ruby would do “Across the Universe” of cats, but with her gentle nature, we think she’ll be fine. What Ruby really needs is someone patient who won’t try to change her—someone who understands that love isn’t always loud or flashy. If you’ve got a patient heart, Ruby is your girl. All she needs is love! ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details!
