Story
Thank you for your interest in Mozart. Some dogs get every opportunity. Mozart is not one of them. Despite his sweetness, loyalty, and gentle nature, life has handed this beautiful Standard Poodle the short end of the stick far too many times. He has been owned, surrendered, adopted, returned, adopted again, returned again, transferred to SPIN, moved between fosters, adopted once more — and then returned yet again. Each time, Mozart tried. Each time, he bonded. And each time, humans let him down. When a Quebec shelter reached out for help after his second return, we knew we had to step in. Beneath his stress and confusion, there was a wonderful dog whose emotional needs simply weren’t being met. Once in our care, we discovered he was a purebred Standard Poodle with a heart bigger than his struggles — and a history that finally needed to change. Today, Mozart has been with dedicated, experienced fosters for two months. He is decompressing, learning, and showing us exactly who he is when he feels safe and understood.

Story
oulu is a gentle, sweet-natured Standard Poodle who is just beginning to discover what it means to live life indoors and be part of a family. After spending much of her life outside, Loulu is learning that couches are comfortable, people can be kind, and routines help the world feel safe. She may be a little unsure at first, but once she trusts you, she blossoms into a loving, affectionate companion who wants nothing more than to curl up beside her people and enjoy the quiet comforts of home. Loulu has a soft heart, a playful side she’s still discovering, and a very endearing “princess” streak — especially when it comes to attention, cuddles, and cozy spots to rest.

Story
Meet Yami - a 10-month old, 8lb Morkie with a huge heart, a playful spark, and absolutely no respect for personal space (in the best way). Yami is a social, affectionate sidekick who loves being wherever her people are. She's 100% lapdog - happiest perched on your lap while you work, curled up beside you on the couch, or snoozing peacefully through the night tucked in next to her humans. She rarely barks and gets along well with dogs of all sizes. Yami is a total fan of humans and adapts quickly to new environments, including the busy downtown. She can live nicely in a condo and behaves well in the car. She understands her basic commands, though like many young pups, she can get easily distracted in busy or exciting environments. She's currently pee-pad trained and making great progress transitioning to outdoor potty breaks. And if you clap and sing "Go Yami, go Yami" she'll happily dance along with you! She currently goes on 3 daily walks, and loves exploring and getting curious outside. Sweet, funny, and endlessly cuddly, Yami is ready to fill her forever home with love, laughter, and a constant warm presence by your side. Yami is being fostered in Toronto. She will be spayed Jan. 13 ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details!

Story
Say hello to Louie — a 5-year-old, 20-lb Cavalier mix currently being fostered in Waterloo and on the lookout for his forever best friend. Louie is a certified Velcro dog who believes personal space is overrated and that life is simply better when he’s following his favourite human from room to room. Louie is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and instantly charming with everyone he meets. He’s a quiet, well-behaved guy who can stay home for a few hours, though he’ll be counting the minutes until his people return. A true snuggle bug, Louie’s ideal day includes as much cuddling as possible, and he’d likely adore a home with older kids who are eager to give him endless love and attention. While Louie gets along well with other dogs, he’d be happiest in a calmer household where he can soak up most of the spotlight. He did live with a cat for a short time and managed just fine, though he did chase a bit, so any kitty roommate would need to be dog-savvy. When it’s time to settle in for the night, Louie sleeps soundly in his crate. Louie’s hobbies include fetching balls, gleefully wrestling with stuffed toys (and occasionally destroying them), and enjoying a couple of short daily walks. He has a mid activity level and prefers easy living — stairs aren’t his favourite, so a one-level home or condo with an elevator would be perfect - unless you are ok to carry him if needed. If you’re dreaming of a loyal shadow, professional cuddler, and gentle companion who just wants to love and be loved, Louie might be the one you’ve been waiting for. ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly.

Story
Meet Goldie — a sweet, affectionate little girl who’s looking for a loving home where she can continue to thrive. Goldie is about 9 lbs and is believed to be a mix of Chihuahua, Spaniel and Poodle — though her exact mix is anyone’s guess. She has a beautifully soft coat that doesn’t seem to shed and is estimated to be around 2-3 years old. Goldie is settling in beautifully at her foster home in Mount Albert, where she’s happiest curled up on everyone’s lap whenever she gets the chance. She’s a very social, happy pup who loves meeting new people and eagerly runs up to say hello. She gets along well with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. She has met children and was very happy to see them, and we feel she would do well in a home with older kids who understand and respect dog boundaries. Goldie is adaptable, joyful, and takes new experiences in stride. She loves toys, zoomies, and interactive play, and she continues to make great progress every day. Goldie would thrive in a home with another playful dog who enjoys companionship and fun, but she would also do very well as the only dog as long as she receives plenty of attention, regular walks, and opportunities to burn off her energy. We did explore a home with cats for Goldie, but it became clear that a cat-free home would be the most comfortable and stress-free environment for her. Our goal is simply to set her up for long-term success in a space where she can fully relax and be herself. Cuddly, affectionate, and eager to bond with her people, Goldie is ready to bring love, playfulness, and lots of lap time to her forever home ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly.

Story
Meet VIOLETVIOLET / AGE: 9 yrs / FEMALE / BREED: GERMAN SHEPHERD and HUSKY MIX / WEIGHT: 90lbs (41kgs) / Currently fostered in WARKWORTH, ONGood with other dogs, older children and farm animals (cows and horses)NO Cats pleaseHouse trainedMajor medical concerns: NoneMeet Violet, a gentle soul with a quiet charm that’s impossible to resist. At around nine years young, Violet is gracefully stepping into her golden years and searching for a peaceful retirement home where she can be cherished as much as she’ll cherish you.Unlike most dogs, Violet doesn’t bark — she speaks. Her soft vocalizations are reserved for special moments, like mealtime, which she absolutely adores. She’s had two TPLO surgeries, so she prefers short, leisurely walks, but that doesn’t stop her from playing with her favourite squeaky toys in the yard. Her playful spirit still shines through, especially when she’s surrounded by the things she loves: treats, food, and squeaky balls.Violet is wonderfully social and carries herself with the grace of a seasoned hostess. Off-leash, she’s Miss Congeniality, getting along beautifully with other dogs and greeting people with friendly curiosity. Her personality is a lovely blend of curiosity, intelligence, and quiet affection. She’s also impeccably clean and fully house-trained, making her an easy and delightful companion.Her ideal home would be in a quiet rural or suburban setting — she’s comfortable around cows and horses, but cats and city life aren’t her cup of tea. A secure, fully fenced yard would give her the outdoor space she’s used to, and she’d love to share her days with another calm, balanced dog. Violet thrives in a mature household, preferably without young children, though older teens are just fine. She would be happiest with someone who works from home or is retired, someone who has time to share with her and is looking for a loyal companion to walk through life together.If you’re looking for a sweet, soulful friend who will fill your home with love and gentle companionship, apply to meet Violet at www.caninehaven.org/dog-application. She is waiting patiently to meet you!Spayed / Microchipped / Vaccinations up to date**PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION TO BE CONSIDERED -https://caninehaven.org/dog-application/*
