Story
Pongo / Neutered Male / 6 Months / Lab mix? / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids: 13+ / Location: East Garafraxa Meet Pongo (again!) This handsome boy was adopted earlier this year but sadly returned just a month later. Pongo is a truly special pup who needs an equally special home to match. At just 6 months old and 45 lbs, Pongo is full of energy, smarts, and heart. While we were told he might be a Border Collie/Lab mix, we aren’t entirely sure, what we do know is that he won’t get too much bigger and that he’s 100% adorable. Pongo can be nervous in new situations or around unfamiliar people, but he’s been working so hard to overcome this. He even spent several weeks with our friends at stylek9dogtraining, where he learned amazing skills that will set him up for success. His future family will continue his journey with a few follow up classes, already covered in his adoption fee, because consistency is key for this sensitive boy. What makes Pongo amazing: Walks beautifully on leash, calmly and politely (even sitting at stops!) Crate trained & fully housebroken Snuggle king who always wants to be near his people Playful, smart, and food motivated, he learns fast! Loves doggy friends, is good with cats, and would thrive with or without another dog in the home Because of his nervous nature, Pongo would do best with older, dog savvy kids. A yard to run, play, and chase squirrels would be a dream for him. To help him settle in, Pongo will even come with his special “place bed” included in his adoption fee, we want to give him every chance to succeed. Pongo is sweet, loving, and so ready for a family who will understand his past and nurture his bright future. Could that be you? https://forms.gle/gMSrMCVFqQ3fb5gN8

Story
Blaze is an 8–12 month old Labrador mix bursting with energy, personality, and endless love to give. This goofy, tail-wagging guy wants nothing more than to be by your side. He already knows sit and down, but sometimes his excitement takes the wheel — he’s still a puppy at heart! With consistent training, patience, and plenty of positive reinforcement, Blaze will blossom into the polite, confident companion he’s destined to be. This sweet boy may sometimes show submissive urination when greeting new friends — totally normal for young, eager pups — and it should improve as he feels more secure. He absolutely loves other dogs, though he tends to introduce himself like a kid running full speed into recess. With slow, supervised meet-and-greets, he could thrive with a canine buddy. Blaze is currently fostering with a well matched resident dog in his foster home and they are great buddies! Blaze is a very enthusiastic eater and came to us a little grabby with food, so he’ll need an owner to continue to help him build good habits. Hand-feeding sessions, working for his meals, and offering lots of trades will help him learn impulse control and grow his confidence. He has had great success in his foster with no issues so he is well on his way! In his new home, feeding time should be structured to prevent any resource-guarding before it starts — setting him up for success from day one as his foster has already been doing. His love of food also makes him highly trainable! He is food motivated and is so happy to learn new skills with reward positive based methods. Blaze is active, smart, and always ready for a challenge. He’ll shine with daily mental and physical outlets — think enrichment toys, brain games, training sessions, and outdoor adventures galore. If you have the energy, patience, and commitment to guide this bright young pup, Blaze could be your perfect adventure partner. Give him structure, love, and fun, and he’ll give you his whole heart in return. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Story
  Piper is a beautiful lab-shepherd-greyhound mix who is 9 years old. She is incredibly, sweet, well trained, and loves people and cuddles. Her favourite pastime is curling up into her signature donut shape and leaning into you while you watch tv, have a nap, or lay in the sun. Piper’s favourite game is playing hide and seek with treats; she waits in the other room while we hide treats around the house and then she will excitedly and with determination root them all out. She loves to go on long slow walks where she will smell every last thing. Her favourite snacks are cucumber slices and she can hear a cucumber being cut open from rooms away. Piper is loyal, silly and, just wants to be where the people are.

Story
Meet Kia   a lifetime of love, ready for one more chapter   Kia is a 15-year-old, 55-pound mixed breed with a gentle soul and a heart full of love to give. She has been cherished her whole life, and it shows in her calm demeanor and joyful spirit. Age has only softened her, it hasn’t dimmed her spark.   Despite being a senior, Kia still enjoys life’s simple pleasures. She loves her daily walks, trips to the garden center, and tagging along to a pet-friendly coffee shop. At home, you’ll often find her happily pouncing on soft toys, working on puzzle games, or soaking up the sun. She greets new people with a polite sniff and is content to stay close by, just enjoying your company.   Kia has done well with other dogs, she’s playful when off lead and generally relaxed on walks, preferring to keep to her side of the street and calmly pass by. She sleeps peacefully on her own bed at night and can stay home alone without any concerns. She’s house trained, though her “old lady bladder” appreciates a little extra help with potty breaks every 6–8 hours.   Kia does have arthritis but she has had thorough veterinary care including bloodwork, urine and fecal testing, and an abdominal ultrasound - all showing she’s in good overall health. She’s a wonderful reminder that senior dogs still have so much love, joy, and companionship to offer.   This special girl is looking for a home that values unhurried walks, warm sunbeams, and cozy movie nights. If you believe that the best relationships are built on quiet moments and unconditional love, Kia may be the perfect companion to share your days.   Adopting a senior is an act of love and Kia will return it tenfold.    December 14, 2025, 10:54 am

Story
Hello! My name is Fig!I’m a fun, lively boy with a big heart! I can be a little shy when meeting new people, so I’ll need my humans to help me feel safe and make sure strangers give me a little space. Once I’m comfortable, I shine—especially when there’s a ball involved. I’m a champion fetch player, and my joyful, springy leaps will absolutely make you smile. (I swear I might be part bunny!)A securely fenced yard—5 feet or taller—is perfect for me so I can bounce and play to my heart’s content. I’m affectionate, eager to learn, and super motivated by tasty treats, so training with me is both fun and rewarding.MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers may be ok but no young children given my sensitive nature.OTHER DOGS: I may do best as the only dog but might be able to have dog friends with slow introductions and calm dogs.CATS: No, I like to chase small things.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Recommended.HOUSING: A quieter home environment suits me best—apartments aren’t ideal since close encounters with strangers make me nervous.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily, though right now I may not be an ideal match for a family that is gone for a full work day.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: I seem to be on the right track, but expect some accidents as I adjust to a new routine.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!
