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
Hi, I’m Banjo!I`m quite the social butterfly and do well meeting new people and new dogs! I have had a rough first year of life, spending time in a few different homes. I do like to get into things when I`m bored or stressed and, since I`m such a large fella, I can reach things on counters pretty easily. I don`t like when humans take things from me and can be possessive in these cases. I`ve made some good progress with resource guarding training but will need a human who can continue this good work - who has the time to make sure I get lots of enrichment through walks, play, puzzles, etc. and who has the patience and interest in helping me learn not to get into things - like shoes and stuff on the counter.I can also be sensitive and worry sometimes that bad things might happen to me. Therefore, I will need a kind and gentle human who doesn`t yell at me or do scary things when they`re unhappy with me. This will make sure I am set up for success and make good progress in my training. I`m a smart boy who is motivated by toys/play and yummy treats. I`m a delight to walk and will snuggle up with you as much as you would like! MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers should be good, but no young kids given my tendency to steal items and guard them.OTHER DOGS: Yes, a friendly dog in the home would be a great way to help burn some of my energy and help keep me out of trouble. CATS: I could be a good match with a cat confident around large dogs, after a proper introduction.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, given my history of resource guarding and continued management and training, I will be best set up for success with a family who has experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Not required.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: Any, as long as you have a realistic plan for meeting my exercise needs as a young, large dog! Do note that I may bark when stressed (and the first days or weeks home are often stressful for any dog) so homes where this will be a problem won`t be ideal.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessary.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the “Adopt Me” button to apply!FOSTER ME! I’m excited to be selected as part of the Paisley Project and I’m looking for a foster home! If your home environment matches what I’m looking for based on the information above, please consider applying to foster me by copying and pasting the following link to fill out the questionnaire: https://guelphhumane.ca/wp-admin/adm

Honey

Labrador Retriever American Bulldog

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
A soft-hearted sweetheart bursting with life, joy, and love, Honey is the kind of dog who will quietly steal your heart and never give it back. This three and half year-old lab cross' happy spirit shines through in everything she does, from her enthusiastic sniff-filled adventures to the way she lights up around her favourite people. In the home, Honey is an absolute dream. She’s calm, affectionate, beautifully behaved, and a total crate superstar. She settles easily, loves being near her people, and has that comforting, gentle presence that makes a house feel more like home. Out in the world, Honey’s happiest place is a quiet park with plenty of room to roam, sniff, and explore at her own pace. Give her open space, a peaceful trail, or a calm suburban stroll, and you’ll see her relaxed, engaged, and happily trotting alongside you with her curious nose to the ground. Watching Honey enjoy the simple things in life like soft grass, fresh air, and a good sniffing route is pure happiness. Honey is a sensitive girl, and busy streets full of noise, traffic, bikes, and close-up dogs can feel overstimulating for her. Because of this, she’s looking for a patient, dog-savvy adopter who lives in a quieter suburban or country setting and can help her manage her leash reactivity. The beautiful thing? Through it all, her love for people never wavers. Her temperament with humans is truly exceptional as she is sweet, trusting, affectionate, and full of heart. Honey doesn’t need a perfect home, but she does need one where close encounters with the canine kind will be minimal. In return, Honey promises unwavering loyalty, joyful adventures, endless cuddles, and the kind of love that feels extra special because it’s been earned. 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
🖤ADOPT PANDORA🖤 F | 7Y | 23 KG | Mixed breed | Spayed | UTD on shots | Housebroken | Crate Trained | Good with dogs | Cat tested | Not kid tested | Fostered in London A gift from the Gods themselves. The jewel that lights up every room she is in. Our Pandora will open your world up with newfound joy, adventure and tons of cuddles! You know what they say, girls just wanna have fun and Pandora is no exception! So take her on walks or show her some cool tricks, she is here for a good time! She may seem a little reserved when you first meet her, but after some time, she can come out of her shell and make new furry and human friends! Her sweet curiousity leads her to want to make doggie friends, and with the right support and introductions, she can develop great canine companions. With new humans, Pandora would love it if you introduced her to your friends so she can warm up to them and make them her friends too! Noises can be a bit scary for Pandora, so it is something to be mindful of as you guys work together to help her adjust to her new life. She is also a flight risk within the first couple of weeks, meaning even in a fully enclosed yard and in the house - it's important to keep that leash on until she's fully decompressed and settled in. As with any dog, Pandora would greatly benefit from proper structure, boundary setting, and lots of love and patience. She is an absolute gem and is looking for the right family to help her sparkle to the max!

Story
Annie / Female / 1.5 Years / 33 lbs / Lab Mix / Good with Dogs / Untested with Kids / Untested with Cats / From Mexico / Fostered in Mississauga Follow Annie's journey on Instagram @annie.fetchandreleash Meet Annie! Annie had a difficult start to life after being found as a tiny puppy suffering from malnutrition, parasites, and even a coatimundi bite. Thankfully, those days are behind her. After spending time in foster care, Annie has grown into a sweet, gentle girl who is learning that life can be full of good things, and she's ready to find a forever family to continue that journey. Annie is the definition of an easygoing companion. She loves the simple things in life: curling up beside her people, heading out for walks, exploring the backyard, enjoying a stuffed Kong, and accepting as many belly rubs as you're willing to give. She's incredibly food motivated, recently discovered the joy of toys, and has a playful, goofy side that's becoming more apparent as her confidence grows. She has even been known to proudly carry slippers or hats around the house without ever damaging them, giving her family a little smile along the way. While Annie can still be a little shy when meeting new people, she has made incredible progress in her new foster home. Her curiousity now shines through much more quickly, and once she feels comfortable, she's affectionate, loyal, and happiest simply being close to her family. Annie has not been formally tested with children. Based on her gentle, easygoing nature, we think she'd do well with respectful, dog-savvy kids who understand canine body language and are happy to let her settle in at her own pace. Annie would thrive in a home that offers a balance of adventure and relaxation. She enjoys two daily walks, exploring parks and trails, and relaxing outdoors, but she's just as content spending the evening cuddled up on the couch. Loud or unexpected noises can still surprise her from time to time, but she continues to gain confidence every day. She is wonderfully social with other dogs and would likely love a friendly, well-mannered canine companion. Another dog could help continue to build her confidence and provide companionship while her family is away. Annie has not been tested with cats, but based on her calm, respectful nature, we think she may do well with a dog-savvy cat following slow, proper introductions. Annie is potty trained, has lovely house manners, and is eager to learn. She walks nicely on leash, responds well to gentle guidance, and is highly motivated by treats. Like many dogs adjusting to home life, she's still learning to feel comfortable being left alone for longer periods. She'll do best with a family committed to helping her build independence gradually through patience, routine, and enrichment. Annie does occasionally have a slight limp, but it doesn't slow her down or impact her daily life. She still enjoys walks, exploring, playing, and keeping up with her adventures. At this time, it isn't affecting her quality of life, but we want potential adopters to be aware as it may require monitoring as she gets older. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate dog who will happily join you on adventures before curling up beside you at the end of the day, Annie may just be your perfect match. Watching her confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding, and we can't wait to see her continue to blossom with the family she'll soon call her own. If you're interested in adopting Annie, please apply at https://www.fetchandreleash.ca/adoption-info#adoption-form Annie's adoption fee is $850.

Chance

Labrador Retriever American Bulldog

Male, Adult
Toronto, ON
Size

Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Chance is a 1.5 year old, 75 lb,  Black Lab/American Bulldog mix. His family loves him dearly but he is determined to chase and pin the cats in his home and, for that reason, his family is hoping to rehome him to a new home without cats or small animals. He is house and crate trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date with all of his vaccinations. He sleeps all night in the crate and is fine crated during the day while his people are at work.  They are currently crating him when they can't watch him for the safety of the cats. Chance is a medium energy dog who is food motivated and eager to learn. He has had some basic obedience training and walks well on a leash.    He loves his walks and playing fetch or a good game of tug in the yard. Chance has limited experience with other dogs and has not lived with another dog but has been OK meeting and greeting other dogs of a similar or bigger size on leash walks. We would not recommend a home with a smaller dog based on his behaviour with cats. He doesn't travel in the car often but when he does he lays down or just looks out the windows.  He has demonstrated some guarding behaviour with items like shoes, dish towels, and balls but will easily trade those treasures for a higher value item such as a food treat.  Chance is a bit of a bull in a china shop and may run into or knock down young children and, due to this and his resource guarding, we recommend a home without children 12 years and under.  If you feel this dashing doggy would be a great fit for your home please complete the Adoption Application on our website.   Due to time constraints, we cannot respond to every email asking for more information on a dog. Please carefully review the bio for the dog and our adoption process https://www.speakingofdogs.com/adoption/adoption-process/.  If you are still interested in adopting, please fill out the adoption application form at the bottom of that page.July 20, 2026, 8:18 pm
