Introducing Ruby – she’s cheeky, goofy and so affectionate! What will it be about Ruby that will capture your heart? Will it be her adoring gaze, fun-loving and silly antics or those unbelievable pearly whites that could only rival that of a A-list actress. ​ Have you been looking for a sidekick in your life that will greet you with open arms and quite literally reach out for hugs because they are so happy to see you? The amount of love this girl has to give is almost too good to be true. She loves her people and has a fondness for kids too! Her favourite pastime is curling up in your lap for a nap. ​ Ruby has been exposed to cats. She may challenge the cat a bit and may chase, but it feels like the motivation to do so is based on friendship and a want for a companion. Ruby does not like to be alone but with time, patience and another canine in the home this will surely improve. Easily meets people and dogs on neighborhood walks which makes us believe a home with a confident and friendly dog would suit her best. If there is a young person in the home that would be a bonus! ​ Take a seat because her background will make you shake your head with disbelief. She was found abandoned on a reserve, emaciated and pregnant. Sadly, she lost her entire litter as she was too weak to support the puppies. She was literally starving and it seems like a consequence of this makes her starved for attention. So, she bonds hard and fast and is working on this in her foster home. She is quite literally re-building herself both physically and mentally. ​ A work-from-home scenario or one where family members are home for the majority of the day is ideal. She can get vocal when you leave the house but with distraction this is improving. ​ Next up, car rides. She’s the kinda gal who rides nose up with ears blowing in the wind. You can just tell that it brings her joy. She is interested in squirrels and geese but her prey drive doesn’t seem to be high. It is almost an inquisitive thing. ​ Not crated in the house, sleeps on her dog bed in the bedroom and looks to her stuffie collection for comfort. She LOVES stuffies! ​ She is a mastiff mix and it clearly shines through. She is affectionate, has a gentle demeanour and takes calm direction well. Easily trainable and leash skills are improving every day. ​ Ruby’s adoption fee is $700. She is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative and has been both spayed and microchipped.

We acquired Simba from a breeder about 4 years ago. He is the sweetest boy and very obedient. We are looking for a loving home where he will be showered with affection and a lot of space indoors and out for him to roam or laze about (which is more his style). Simba does have what seems to be some gut issues and has had ear infections that we have treated in the past. His vet hasn’t been very helpful so I’m not sure but I just wanted whoever the lucky family is that takes this gentle giant to know the full picture. I wish we didn’t have to rehome him but my son had his adenoids removed due to the allergies and is still constantly sneazing and breaks out in hives whenever he touches anything Simba has touched. Simba is absolutely an angel. He’s super gentle and has never ever shown us any aggression. His bark is very handy in scaring away possible intruders and pesky sales people lol I want the best possible home for him, he deserves it.

AVAILABLE FOR FOSTER TO ADOPT OR ADOPTION Cedar finally after 3 years had her chance at a life outside of living in a kennel, and this is exactly what this girl needed. Even though her foster to adopt didn’t work out the way we all hoped, we are also so grateful Cedar got the chance to show a great family how amazing and loyal she is, outside of a kennel. Unfortunately, there have been changes in her foster’s life, which has come down to them not being able to adopt Cedar. With her being out of a kennel and into a home, the last thing we are wanting is for her to be put back in a kennel environment, because of how far she has already come living in a home. Going back into a kennel after being in a home for this long, will set her back HUGE and we don’t want that at all. Cedar is getting older, and she deserves to live the rest of her life being able to love her family and be the best friend she is. This girl has been overlooked for 3 years, and honestly, we don’t get it. We have several wonderful dogs living in kennels, getting overlooked for the younger “easy” dogs, when is it their chance to leave and never look back? Cedar is and will always be one of the rescue favorites, because if you’ve personally met her, you know she has the most loving soulful eyes and a loyalty to her that goes unmatched. Intake Date: April 2021 Adoption Fee: $100 Location: Norfolk County, Ontario Cedar Name: Cedar Age: 5 years old Breed: Mastiff Mix Energy: Low to medium Weight: 90lbs Spay/Neuter: Yes Dogs: yes, with proper introduction, she prefers males Cats: yes, dog savvy cats Kids: Yes, but is more comfortable around older kids 10+ recommended Crate Trained: Yes, but doesn’t really need one House Trained: Yes Any Aggression (food or other): Comes from an abusive past, therefore needs a quieter household with a strong leader who she can trust and feel safe with. She does great with woman, men she is extremely selective and needs more time and patience to bond with them. Other Observations: Cedar is very smart so takes to training very well, which is great as this has continued to help her progress with building confidence. Because she can be timid or shy, she would do amazing in a home with a confident owner. Also, she needs an experienced dog handler to lead her. She cannot be in a hectic home or a home with people who are not gentle with her. Due to her abuse in her pass, a home with hand raising and yelling will cause Cedar to be reactive/protective. In a quiet loving fun home, she’s a character who makes you laugh and is great a cuddling. A home with limited guests is best suited for her. From Cedars Foster: We've had Cedar as a foster now for more than a couple of months. She's been such a good dog! This was our first experience fostering. It's been a time of laughter because we've watched her play more like a little puppy than her actual age. Throwing Herself on the grass and literally doing grass angels all 4 paws in the air. Oh, and this is her most relaxed state is on her back sleeping. It's so funny to see a dog do. She's accompanied on many walks and although never really long ones, she Loves to stop and smell the roses! We had our routine down, out for a pee first thing as my boyfriend was up for work at 530am. Then, I'd go put a pair of pants and she knew it was time for a walk. She'd Wait by the front door for her collar and leash. and just sit patiently. And I mean patient. I've never seen such a patient dog! We would come home after our walk, hopefully she pooped, to make room for her breakfast. And most of the time she did like clockwork! So, I'd come home and it was time to multi-task. Get her breakfast and mine, including my coffee! Her kibble was mixed with a tbsp of coconut oil melted on it. I'd tell her it was going to be so yummy, and she’d come as soon as it was on her mat with fresh water. If she didn't eat it all, I'd have to stir it up a bit so it wasn't all chunked up together. Her day comprised or sleeping under my work desk at home while I work. I knew it was time to go out when she’d wake up. When my boyfriend came home, she was so happy to see him, she tried to jump up as though she was giving him a big hug. This dog has so much love to give. She loves to cuddle!! She slept with us. She had a bed so when things got too hot, she went to the floor or on her bed. A fresh water bowl not far from her at all times. Supper time, so time for me to be done work. She came first. I mixed her kibble with a beef bouillon mix from the pet store with ¼ cup of warm water and stirred it all up. She loves that! After supper, there was another walk for her alone with me or with both my boyfriend and I. But around 7 or 8pm, she'd start to act funny. Yes, she was ready for bed already. It forced us to relax earlier than usual. Have our cuddle time with her. And this dog can sleep! She loves her sleep. She was just the right speed of energy! When she was trying to get our attention, it was when we'd be tired, she'd get her loudest toy and play with it! Yes, just like a child. She is truly a remarkable dog. She has a big heart and recognizes the same in others. She loves to wake up my teenage son in the morning for school and when there is no school. I think mostly she wanted to see what was on his bed as he constantly leaves his dishes there from snacks. I can't say enough good things about Cedar. She was my first foster; she would have been my first dog. She deserves more than we can offer her now with my son having sleep issues which will turn into health issues if not properly addressed and I don't want anything but love to be felt for this dog. She deserves the world.
