Story
Rogan is a sweetheart. He loves to play with toys, with people, with other dogs, and on his own. He can keep himself amused for hours. He does not play favourites, and will divide his attention fairly between each of his many toys. Rogan is not a barker, but he is a communicator. On occasion, he will “talk” to you explaining his thoughts. He is very adept at training humans to give tummy rubs, ear rubs and back scritches. He is a golden/husky/poodle mix. We estimate he is 10-12 months old and guess he will be about mid-fifty pounds when fully grown. He has lots of energy to play, run and explore, and lots of stamina too. His personality is dominant – definitely alpha. He is crate trained. Unfortunately, Rogan did not have a good start in life. He had a restricted and stressful puppy hood. He came to us with a long-term ear infection in both ears, his ribs showing, and hyperactive. The ear infection has been treated, but he may require ongoing ear care to ensure the infection does not return. He is learning to leash walk, is eating normally now (but on a high calorie premium diet), is back to a normal weight, and has calmed down noticeably. His toilet training is progressing. We believe the stress during puppyhood triggered PICA. Since his PICA has improved somewhat, we hope that it is not a permanent condition. His owner did not take him to a vet, so we have started his first set of 3 puppy inoculations. He will require an experienced owner - someone who can gently, quietly, and firmly manage a very alpha dog. Rogan’s happy enthusiasm is infectious. But his speed and exuberance would be overwhelming for small dogs or young children, and probably cats. His new home will require a fully fenced yard. Our strong preference is a home with a female dog who is older than Rogan, and of a similar high energy, and high stamina breeding. He would greatly benefit from a dog companion to run and play with him, and guide him. If you can also guide him through the remnants of his initial bad experiences, you will be rewarded with a kind-hearted, dedicated, adventurous, and joyful companion. Please note we only accept adopters who live in the GTA - Greater Toronto Area.

Story
 Quick Facts  Name: Ilbok Age: 2 years old (Born January 2023) Gender: Male Neutered/Sprayed: Yes Breed: Golden Retriever Mix Color: Beige Current Weight: 18 kg My Personality Hey there! I'm Ilbok, a fun-loving and affectionate boy who can't wait to find a family to share all my love with. I may be a little cautious at first, but once I trust you, I’ll show you just how sweet and friendly I can be! I adore people and am always excited to say hello. I’ll happily approach new faces and let you give me all the attention I crave. If you call me, I'll come running—I'm all about making connections! Although I’m friendly with humans, I do take a little time to warm up to other dogs. I can be a bit guarded initially, especially if another dog gets too close too fast, so it’s important to give me the space I need when meeting new pups. I’m just being cautious, but once I get to know you, I’m a great companion. I’ve got a heart full of potential and am ready to build friendships with the right dog pals. On My Walks Oh, how I love my walks! There’s nothing better than getting outside, feeling the breeze, and sniffing all the new scents in the world. I do like to pull on the leash a bit because I’m just so excited to explore! I’ll stop and sniff along the way, and if I see something exciting, I’ll want to check it out. But don’t worry, with a little training, I’ll get better at walking with you calmly by my side. I love the outdoors, and I promise we’ll have lots of fun together—whether it’s a stroll or a more energetic walk. Life At Home When I’m home, I’m the best companion you could ask for. I’m a curious boy who loves being around people, so I’ll probably follow you around, always wanting to know what’s going on. I’m very affectionate and enjoy being petted and loved. I’m also quite adaptable. I do my business indoor and outdoor. I might mark in new enviroment. I’m pretty well-behaved, and while I may show some excitement before meals or walks, I promise it’s just because I’m eager to have a good time with you. I don’t guard my food around people but with other dogs I am still learning. I’m still working on some manners, but I’m a fast learner and I know I’ll do great in a home that gives me the right guidance. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a loving, active family who will appreciate my playful energy and my affectionate nature. Here’s what I’d love in my forever home: Active Adventures: I’d love to be part of a family who enjoys outdoor activities. Whether it’s a long walk, a fun hike, or some playtime in the yard, I’m ready for action! Patience & Guidance: I’m still growing and learning, and I’d thrive in a home where I can continue developing my skills and building my confidence with positive reinforcement. Companionship: I’m social and love being around people, so I’d prefer a home where I’m not left alone for long periods. I thrive when I’m part of the family. Dog-Free: I’d do best as the only dog in the home. Last Message If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal companion who will always be excited to share his love and enjoy the world with you, I might be your perfect match! I can’t wait to meet you and start our next adventure together.   For More YouTube Clips, Click Here!Ilbok's YouTube Playlist ##2278433##

Story
Chanel is an amazing girl. She is very easy going and loves play time and being with people. She is a friend to everyone she meets. Chanel and her two siblings were uprooted when their family was no longer able to keep them due to some family health issues. They came into our care and after keeping them together we found that they were independent and could be separated. The other two girls have found homes and now it's Chanel's turn. Chanel is ten years old but has a spunky attitude and youthful spirit. She is spayed, up to date on shots, and healthy. She gets along great with other dogs and has gone to doggie daycare and done well there. Thanks to a generous sponsor the adoption fees for seniors have been subsidized. Chanel's adoption fee is only $99. In addition, she will arrive with a harness, collar and leash along with two bags of quality senior dog food. If you would like to learn more about this sweet girl and set up a time to meet her, please email our rescue at c4ptoronto@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Cali – Your Future Adventure Buddy! 🐾 Cali’s journey began in the forests of Istanbul, Turkey 🌍, where she was found at just 45 days old. Her mother, a Golden Retriever, had been abandoned after becoming pregnant, and sadly, Cali was the only survivor of her litter 💔. Despite this heartbreaking start, she’s grown into a beautiful, smart, and loving 4-year-old Golden Retriever mix 🐕. Cali is an adventurous soul! She loves outdoor activities 🌲, whether it’s long walks, running, or playing with other big dogs 🐕‍🦺. She’s also great with kids 👶 and respectful of cats 🐱, making her a wonderful fit for families. Indoors, Cali is calm and enjoys lounging on the couch 🛋 or napping in her cozy spot, though she appreciates her personal space while resting. She’s completed basic obedience training 🎓, is fully house-trained. While she may pull on the leash when excited to meet other dogs, she quickly settles with clear guidance 🐾. Cali is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to find a loving family who will give her both the adventure and the care she deserves ❤. If you’re looking for a loyal, active, and affectionate companion, Cali is ready to meet you! Cali can fly to Toronto when she finds her forever home!

Story
Mila | 2 years old | 33 lb | Toronto Mila is a sensitive dog. She is emotionally in tune with her person and her energy follows their moods. Mila is therefore best suited to a calm, stable environment. She is always listening, paying attention and following her person, so busy or noisy households might be too overwhelming for her. She bonds quickly and loves people. Mila would do best in an adult only home, or it could include older children, as the unpredictability and boisterous nature of young kids can be frightening to a sensitive dog. She is suited to a home where someone is home a lot of the time, as she feels most comfortable when she has her person/people around. When she is comfortable her silliness and playful nature come out. She's really delightful and so loving. Mila loves going on car rides and is great with dogs and cats. She is cautious at first, but once comfortable is a very happy playmate. Another balanced dog in the home could be a real asset for her. Mila would love her own securely fenced yard. She loves to do zoomies. She also really enjoys her daily walks. She is not suited to condo living.
