Story

Leo is a 3-year-old golden retriever with a gentle, affectionate, and friendly personality. I got him as a puppy, and he has been a loving and loyal companion ever since. He enjoys going on walks, playing fetch, and spending time around people. We are looking for a caring and responsible home for Leo as we are relocating abroad and unfortunately cannot take him with us. He would do best with a family or individual who can give him plenty of attention, love, and care. Leo is well behaved, intelligent, and incredibly sweet. He brings joy to everyone he meets.

Sprinkle

Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 3 mos

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Hi, I’m Sprinkle — a sweet name for a growing girl with an even sweeter personality! I’m a young, large mixed-breed pup with lots of growing still ahead of me. I’m going to be a big girl when I’m all grown up, so I’m looking for a forever family that’s ready to help guide me, train me, and set me up for success. Right now, I’m all about the puppy life — giving out endless kisses, soaking up love, playing hard, and then curling up for the best naps. I’m still learning how the world works, so I’ll need help with housetraining, understanding what I can (and can’t!) chew on, and building good manners as I grow. I’ve got that classic puppy energy and curiosity, which means I can be a little chaotic at times… but I make up for it with so much love and potential. With patience, consistency, and positive training, I’ll grow into a loyal, well-mannered companion you’ll be so proud of.If you’re ready for cuddles, laughs, and the rewarding journey of raising a big, loving dog, I might just be your perfect match. All I need now is a forever home to call my own — could it be with you?

Atticus

German Shepherd Dog Border Collie

Male, 3 yrs

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Hi, I’m Atticus—professional explorer, part-time detective of interesting smells, and full-time good boy looking for a fresh start. I came to the shelter through no fault of my own (life happens, I get it), and now I’m ready to find a home where I can stretch my legs, follow my nose, and maybe sneak a treat or two along the way.On walks, I like to keep things interesting. Sometimes I stroll politely, and other times I have places to be and will put a bit of muscle into it. I’m working on that, though, and I respond well to patient guidance and positive reinforcement. Give me time, consistency, and a comfy harness, and I’ll get the hang of it.I’m a smart guy who knows “sit” and will happily take treats—enthusiastically, so watch your fingers or toss them my way (I`m pretty good at catching them!). I love toys and will bounce around like a goof when I’m excited, happily chasing and trading them. I’m not overly clingy with affection, but I enjoy being near my people and taking in the world with them.I can be a bit of a loud announcer when new people or dogs show up, but it’s mostly just my way of saying, “Hey! What’s going on over there?” Once I’ve had a moment to check things out, I warm up and show my friendly side. I’ve met other dogs and tend to be playful, respectful, and pretty tolerant—even if they’re a bit unsure. With proper introductions, I’d likely enjoy having some dog pals. I’ve also lived with cats before and with proper introductions to dog savvy cats, I could likely live with them again.Now, let’s talk about my one quirk: my feet are off-limits. I’m sensitive about them and will let you know if I’m uncomfortable, so I’m looking for someone who understands that and is willing to work on gentle, cooperative care over time. In the meantime, we can get creative with nail care—teamwork makes the dream work.I’d do best in a home with a yard to explore and people who can keep up with my curious, active nature. I can be vocal sometimes so apartment living is not my thing. Older, dog-savvy kids would be a better match for me since I can get a little jumpy when I’m excited.If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick who will keep you moving, make you laugh, and occasionally remind you that squirrels are very serious business, I might just be your guy.

Clementine

Mastiff

Female, 4 yrs

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Story

Clementine is a gentle soul who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and kind place. This Mastiff mix came to us as a stray, so her past is a bit of a mystery—but it’s clear she’s feeling unsure and will need a patient, understanding adopter who’s willing to give her the time and space she needs to come out of her shell.At first, Clementine may seem shy and fearful, preferring to observe from a distance. But with a little patience and a lot of kindness, her true personality begins to shine. Once she feels comfortable, she transforms into a sweet, wiggly girl who enjoys affection and absolutely lights up for treats.Clementine appears to be curious about calm, respectful dogs and may do well with a compatible canine companion. Her history with cats is unknown. While we’re not sure how she feels about children, she may be okay with respectful kids who understand her need for space and can let her warm up at her own pace. Busy or loud environments—especially with young, energetic children—may be overwhelming for her.Clementine is looking for a quiet, loving home where she can build confidence and form strong bonds. If you have a gentle heart and the patience to help a shy dog blossom, Clementine just might be your perfect match.

Benji

Great Dane

Male, 5 yrs 1 mo

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Story

Hi, I’m Benji. I’m a very large gentleman with an even larger collection of feelings, most of which currently revolve around “what was that noise?” and “should we maybe… leave?”I’ll be honest with you—I’m a sensitive soul. New places and sudden movements can make me jumpy, and I tend to keep my ears back, my tail tucked, and my eyes scanning like I’m in a spy movie I didn’t audition for. I might hesitate at first, put on the brakes during walks, or try to politely suggest we exit the building immediately. But if you give me a moment (and maybe a piece of freeze-dried salmon), I’ll gather my courage and keep going. I do walk nicely on leash, though I’m a big boy with the strength to pull if I get worried, so I’ll need someone steady on the other end who can help me feel safe and continue my training.Once I realize you’re not here to ruin my day, I’m actually very sweet. I might not climb into your lap right away, but I’ll lean into you for comfort when I’m unsure—think of me as a “side hug” kind of guy. I let people handle my paws, check my ears, and give me pets all over, even if I’m a bit wiggly about it at first. I know how to sit, and while I’m currently too stressed to show off much more, I’m a smart cookie who will learn with patience and encouragement.I can be a bit unsure around new people and dogs, sometimes barking to say, “Hey, I need space!” but I don’t mean any harm. With calm introductions, I’ve shown I can coexist just fine, especially with relaxed, respectful dog friends. I’ve lived with other big dogs before and did well, and I’ve also lived with kids—though due to my size and occasional clumsy enthusiasm, I might accidentally knock over the smaller humans just by turning around.A few important things about me: I don’t love car rides yet (they make me nervous), I may bark at things passing by the yard, and I have been known to sample items that are… not technically food. So I’ll need guidance, supervision, and some positive reinforcement to help me make better life choices.I’m not suited for apartment living—I need a quieter environment where I can decompress and build confidence at my own pace. What I really need is a patient, understanding human who sees past my nerves and recognizes the very good boy underneath. Someone who will celebrate my small wins, help me feel safe, and remind me that the world isn’t quite as scary as I think it is.I’ve been here before as a puppy and had to come back

Moe (Special Paws)

Labrador Retriever English Springer Spaniel

Male, 4 yrs 7 mos

Windsor, ON

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Hi! Hi! Oh—sorry, I got excited. My name is Moe, and I’m a 4-year-old mixed breed with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart. I’m the kind of guy who believes life is a party and everyone I meet is invited. When I say hello, I might bark or try to jump because WOW YOU’RE HERE and I’m thrilled—but I’m learning that calm greetings are a thing, and I just need a human who can show me how to take a breath and slow my tail wag down a notch. While I am a super active, bubbly, and always ready for fun type of guy, unfortunately I do have some medical issues that make that hard for me sometimes! Which is why I am considered a Special Paws adoption. Walks? Yes. Adventures? I would love to (if my body allows it). Treats? PLEASE. I am very food motivated, which means I’m eager to learn and will happily work for snacks (and praise… but mostly snacks). I love people, do great with kids, and I’m even cool with cats—pretty impressive, right? Perfect fun family dog! Other dogs make me a little unsure at first. I’m not rude, just shy and avoidant, so if I’m going to have a dog sibling, they’ll need to be polite, patient, and give me time to feel safe. Once I warm up, I do much better—I just don’t rush friendships. I’ll be honest with you, because I want this to be forever: I can be a bit protective of my bones, though I`d rather move away from you than have any kind of confrontation about it. It comes from fear, not mean intentions, and I’ll need a home that understands me and is willing to help me work through that with kindness, structure, and maybe some professional guidance. If you’re looking for a joyful, goofy, loving best friend who’s ready to learn and eager to love, I might just be your Moe. I promise to bring the fun, the wiggles, and a whole lot of heart.I am considered a Special Paws Adoption due to having some ongoing medical issues and my future adopters will need to be able to keep up with my medical care. Due to this, my adoption fee is totally up to you ($30 admin fee still applies)!
