Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Toronto, Ontario

**This dog is being fostered on Vancouver island but can be transported to the mainland. Apply to adopt here: lastminutedogrescue.comThis dog is currently in foster care, and is ready to be adopted! Corbin has come a LONG way since he arrived in Canada last summer and moved into a home for the first time in his life. He was a feral dog in Texas in his previous life, and lived with his sister on the edges of society, always between people, surviving by not being caught until one day he was. Suddenly this regal dog found himself trembling on the cold hard floor of a shelter, on the list to be killed. Its easy to understand why its hard for Corbin to feel safe around anyone but other dogs, but for the past year hes been developing an appreciation for life as a domestic house dog and his true character has slowly been emerging. Corbin will always feel most comfortable in the company of other dogs, and loves most of the usual things dogs love. Hes wild about going on walks, especially in the forest, and will happily spend his day hunting and harassing rodents. He loves sprinting freely across a grassy yard now, something he never had the chance to do in Houston. A frozen marrow bone in his crate delights him for a few hours of luxurious chewing. Watching him revel in life is an absolute joy! He enjoys head and butt scratches, and will sometimes even ask for affection. However, the instinct to stay out of reach runs deep in this handsome dog. He will not come when called; he will at best follow other dogs who do, but even then will stay at distance from accompanying humans. He isnt at all aggressive in the least, just very shy and wary. Every day he grows more confident, so much so that now hes ready to take on any bicycles and pickup trucks that have the nerve to pass him on the street.Corbins best life includes a large fenced-in yard and at least one, preferably more, other friendly dogs. Hes pretty curious about most things, even if hes a bit scared, so hed probably do ok in a either suburban or rural environment. A busy city would be too much for someone whos afraid of people getting close enough to touch him. Hes not a dog to adopt if youre looking for someone to play fetch with. Corbins the boy for someone whos content to make a deserving dogs dreams come true, where he can lounge peacefully in the sunshine, chase chippies and explore the neighbourhood with his pack mates.Corbin was born with bad hip dysplasia on one side, and doesnt like to use his rear right leg. He still gets around fine on 3 legs and can run faster than you! He does appreciate a daily pain reliever like gabapentin.Apply to adopt this animal at lastminutedogrescue.comName: CorbinWeight: ~55 poundsAge: ~7 yearsGender: MaleBreed: Lab mixColour: BlackMedical (past and present) & HW Status: HW negative; requires pain management for severe hip dysplasia Fixed: YesGood with adults: ShyGood with kids: UnknownGood with dogs: YesGood with cats: UnknownHouse trained: Working on it!

BLACKIE | 2.5 years old | 40 lb | Toronto Hi, I'm Blackie! I'm a special girl with a stunning glossy black coat and a quiet, curious personality. I'm a mixed breed dog that looks very much like a petite Labrador. People tell me I'm very pretty. I'm looking for a quiet home with a friendly dog to help show me the ropes. I lived in a shelter for most of my life, and was very comfortable there. Now I'm starting to explore the world, and am making great progress in becoming comfortable with the new sounds and experiences. I'm looking for someone to patiently guide me and I'll keep on showing them what a brave, gentle, and wonderful girl I am. I think what would help me the most is a dog sibling! I get so much confidence when another dog takes the lead and shows me how much fun life can be. With my foster dog sister and brother, I've enjoyed playing outside and hanging out together. I'm not high energy and am very respectful of other dogs big and small, so my foster brother is just fine with me as he recovers from his surgery. I play for short periods and then love to find my comfy spot on the couch to settle in for a snooze. As I get more comfortable I am becoming more playful and my foster is loving seeing my very sweet personality emerge. I'm not a huge fan of the cold, but I enjoy going for walks and am told that I'm really good on leash. I am an easy dog overall as I'm not demanding at all, and am very quiet. At nights I join my foster siblings on my foster's bed and I sleep soundly until morning. My foster gives me treats and I love them! I've heard that sometimes shy girls like me get passed over, but I promise that if you can show me kindness and patience as I settle in, I'll be the most wonderful companion. I am sweet, loyal, and calm. You'll fall in love with me the minute you meet me. If you think you could give me the home I need to be my very best self, please apply at https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application

Name: Cinnamon Age: 3 years Sex: Spayed Female Breed: Lab Jindo Mix Color: Cream Weight: 16kg Height: 49cm (shoulder)   Rescue Story: Cinnamon was found wandering around a village and was taken to a city shelter. She was rescued in early December and is now waiting for her forever home   ‍‍ With People   Cinnamon is very friendly and affectionate. She happily approaches both familiar and new people, rubs against them, and enjoys being touched. She loves both men and women and does well with children under 13.   She can be picked up by placing an arm under her belly, and she often shows her belly even to people she just met — she’s truly a sweetheart who loves attention and affection   With Other Dogs   Cinnamon is very social and loves meeting new dog friends. She enjoys playing and interacting with other dogs and is especially friendly with dogs of similar size. She also plays well with smaller dogs, but because she keeps the same energy level, some smaller dogs may find her a bit overwhelming.   She does well even with high-energy dogs and will communicate if she needs space. Since she enjoys both dogs and people, she would do well in a home with another friendly dog or as the only dog in the home   With Cats   Her reaction to cats has not been observed yet, but cat testing is possible.   Energy Level   Moderate energy. Cinnamon enjoys relaxing, but when she’s at the playground or playing with friends, she becomes active and playful.   Walking   Cinnamon does not have much walking experience yet, so she will need a bit more practice walking calmly with her person. When she feels scared, she may lower her body or look unsure, but she loves sniffing and exploring, so she is expected to improve quickly with gentle guidance.   Other Notes   Cinnamon does not guard food with people or other dogs, but she does have a good appetite, so feeding separately at first is recommended. She does not have separation anxiety, but she doesn’t enjoy being confined, so crate training and separation training may require some adjustment time in the beginning. She is currently potty trained for outdoor bathroom only. Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org Please also visit our Facebook and Instagram!

Hello, I’m Sebastian 🐾 A 3-year-old Labrador–Doberman mix, about 27 kilos of love, elegance, and joy. I’ve got the long, lean body of a Doberman and the warm, food-loving heart of a Labrador — truly the best of both worlds. My journey hasn’t always been easy. I spent too long in a city shelter and eventually found myself on the euthanasia list. Just in time, Dream Tails stepped in and gave me a second chance, bringing me to their training center — and now I’m ready for the next chapter of my life. I get along wonderfully with other dogs and communicate beautifully with them, showing my feelings clearly and setting boundaries in a calm, respectful way. I walk nicely on leash and don’t pull, making our walks something we can both enjoy. I’m often told I’m very handsome — but what truly sets me apart is my heart. I’m overflowing with love, and every bit of attention makes my heart feel like it might burst. I can’t wait to experience the comfort of a warm home and to finally feel safe with my forever family. Because I haven’t lived in a home before, I might show a little puppy mischief at first as I adjust. With patience, guidance, and understanding, I’ll settle in and thrive — I promise my love will make it all worth it. All I’m dreaming of is a family who will give me time, kindness, and cuddles… especially cozy moments on the sofa with my mommy and daddy. 🫶🏻 Could you be my forever family?

QUICK FACTS  Name: Morning Age: 1 year 10 months Gender: Female Spayed/Neutered: Yes Breed: Labrador, jindo mix Colour: White Weight: 13kg / 28.6lbs Microchipped: Yes   MY RESCUE STORY  Hi there! My name is Morning, and just like the sunrise, I represent a brand-new beginning. I was rescued from the euthanasia list at a city pound, given a second chance when things looked so dark. Back in March, I thought I had found my forever family, but sadly, they didn’t fully understand my sensitive, skittish nature or feel prepared to support me through my heartworm treatment. Luckily, I didn’t lose hope—because a kind and patient foster family opened their home and hearts to me. With their love and care, I’ve truly begun to blossom. These days, I’m so much brighter, happier, and ready to keep shining even more in my journey to find a forever family who will cherish me for who I am.   MY HEALTH Fully vaccinated (5-round series complete) Neutered Currently going through early stages of heartworm treatment    MY PERSONALITY My foster family says I’m the whole package—sweet, gentle, intelligent, playful, and loyal, with just the right dash of goofy charm. I love making people smile, and I have the funniest, most expressive little face that will keep you laughing every day. My foster parents always say my floppy ears make me look just like Dobby from Harry Potter, and honestly, I think it just adds to my one-of-a-kind cuteness!    MY SOCIAL SKILLS With People: I may be a little shy at first, but with gentle approaches and a bit of patience, I’ll start to open up and show you my sweet side. Once I feel safe, I love receiving pets and affection—it just takes me a little time to adjust to new environments. My foster family says I’m very intelligent and eager to please, and nothing makes me happier than hearing gentle praises and encouragement. When you tell me I’ve done well, my tail wags nonstop! I’m learning to lean on my foster parent more each day, and with love and patience, my confidence continues to grow.   With Dogs:  I do best with slow introductions at first, as it gives me time to feel safe and comfortable. I get along better with gentle, well-mannered dogs who aren’t too rowdy or pushy. Lately, I’ve even been showing more curiosity and playful behavior with the dogs in my area! In my foster home, I do really well with my two foster siblings—I rely on them for confidence, love following their lead, and we have lots of fun playtime together. I would also do well as the only dog in the home, or with calm and respectful doggy friends. Having my own cozy place to rest, like a bed that’s just for me, helps me feel secure and happy.   With Cats: I don’t have much experience with cats yet, but with my gentle and sweet nature, I believe I’ll do just fine with thoughtful introductions. I’m the kind of pup who’s happy to quietly sit near cats and tolerate their presence, so with patience and care, I can learn to live peacefully alongside a feline friend.   ENERGY LEVEL I have a low-to-medium energy level. I love going for leashed walks and enjoy a good off-leash romp in a fully enclosed area where I can safely stretch my legs. Once I’ve had my bit of outdoor fun, I’m content to settle down quietly indoors. I also know how to keep myself entertained with toys when I’m in the mood, which makes me a pretty easygoing companion.    TRAINING & HABITS   When it comes to leash walking, I’m already doing quite well and improving every day! I’m a fast learner and eager to please, which makes training me a fun and rewarding experience. Sometimes, if I feel unsure in a new environment or around unfamiliar people or dogs, I may pull a little on leash—but with gentle encouragement and a bit of space, I quickly relax and follow along nicely.   I’m also a polite pup when it comes to barking. Occasionally, I’ll give a short alert bark if I hear noises in the condo hallway or while at the dog park, but nothing excessive. I’m very responsive to the “quiet” command and love being praised when I listen, which helps me keep my cool.   Car rides are still something I’m learning to get comfortable with. Sometimes I can get a little queasy or drooly from nerves, but I’m making progress with practice and patience. Making sure my tummy is empty before the trip really helps me feel better. With time, I know I’ll continue to grow more confident and relaxed.   MY IDEAL HOME I’m searching for a patient, loving family who can help me grow and become the best version of myself. I’ll thrive in a home with: A family that offers a fun, structured, and safe environment as I come out of my shell. A family that enjoys outdoor activities and spending quality time together. A family that can shower me with love and attention. A family who understands that I can be a little skittish or nervous around new environments, people, and dogs, and is willing to guide me gently with patience, giving me the time I need to grow confident and show off my true silly, playful, and goofy side. A home as an only dog or with confident & respectful dog siblings.    SPECIAL NOTES  When I first came to my foster home, I was shy, anxious, and unsure of my new world. But with gentle approaches and patience, I quickly warmed up—I even claimed a cozy spot on the couch! I do best when I have my own bed and space, but I’ve been thriving with my two foster dog siblings. They give me confidence, and I love having a playmate. I’d also do well as an only dog, as long as my family gives me patience and structure. I enjoy leash walks, though I feel safest on quiet routes. Busy, noisy streets can scare me, but with time and encouragement, I’m learning to be brave. Off-leash in enclosed areas, I stay close by and have great recall. I’m also a smart girl who learns quickly—sometimes a little stubborn, but once I know a skill, I’m solid! I love belly rubs, head scratches, and being praised—it makes me beam with happiness. I can get a little overexcited when playing, but I’m improving every day with guidance. I’m still young, silly, and eager to please, and with the right family, I’ll blossom into the most loyal and loving companion. For More YouTube Clips, Click Below!

EMERGENCY FOSTER OR ADOPTER NEEDED – DENNY  Central Point, Oregon (near Medford, OR) Denny is a young Golden Retriever who arrived from Korea just a few days ago and is in urgent need of a new foster or adopter due to a home mismatch (not a behavioral issue). Meet Denny — The Sweetest Golden Retriever Looking for His Forever Family!   Name: Denny Age: 4 years Sex: Neutered Male Breed: Golden Retriever Color: Gold Weight: 31 kg Height: 66 cm (shoulder height)   Rescue Story Denny was rescued in February 2025 after being placed on the euthanasia list at a city shelter. He stayed at a private shelter for several months and moved to his foster home in June. Since then, he has blossomed into the most affectionate, people-loving Golden boy.   ‍‍‍ Socialization with People Denny is an incredibly affectionate dog who loves everyone — familiar people and strangers alike. • He leans in for pets, rubs against people, and loves belly rubs. • He is excellent with children under 13 and is comfortable being lifted or handled gently. • Even with new people, he often rolls over to show his belly. • He enjoys being near people during downtime, though he prefers sleeping alone. • He can be very enthusiastic — sometimes running in for hugs or kisses, which can surprise those not used to big friendly dogs! • No issues with baths, paw cleaning, or handling. He tolerates teeth brushing but isn’t a fan.   Socialization with Dogs Denny is friendly and polite with other dogs. • He approaches both familiar and unfamiliar dogs to greet and play. • He matches well with medium to large dogs and enjoys playful interactions.   With Cats • He watches cats with curiosity outdoors, but when guided by his handler, he follows direction well and continues walking. (He may be suitable for a cat home with proper introductions.)   Energy Level • At first glance he seems high-energy, but his stamina is moderate. • After 3–4 hours of outdoor activity, he often falls asleep as soon as he gets in the car. • During play with dog friends, he starts energetic but will bark to set boundaries when he becomes tired or overstimulated.   ‍ Walks & Outdoor Behavior Denny is a joy to walk. • He has plenty of leash experience and doesn’t pull. • He loves sniffing and will naturally slow down or stop to explore scents. • He becomes excited when he sees the leash — may jump or mouth the leash — so calming him before leaving the house is important. • He loves balls and toys; he can even find hidden balls in grass and often brings home any he discovers during walks!   Other Behaviors • No resource guarding toward people or dogs. • Rarely barks. • Calm in a crate and knows how to get in/out of the car by himself. • Sometimes refuses to get in the car after walks because he wants to stay outside longer. • Mostly potty-trained outdoors. • If he has stomach discomfort early in the morning, he will wake his person up to go outside — letting him out promptly helps prevent indoor accidents. • Occasionally gets soft stool after eating too many treats.   Denny Is Looking For… A family who loves Golden Retrievers’ affectionate, goofy, people-loving personality. Someone who enjoys outdoor activities, understands his excitement around walks, and can provide structure, companionship, and lots of love.   If you think Denny could be the perfect match for you, please submit an adoption application!

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 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3JwkBxxdtpKRWMXKSXQmWH07&si=PpQFB7u8W9at7g-e ##2458103##
