Story
coming soonHi, I’m Panda! I’m a sweet, snuggly girl who loves nothing more than curling up with my person and soaking up all the cuddles. I’m always up for a game of fetch or playing with my stuffies, and my beautiful black and white markings are only going to get more stunning as my coat fills in. Right now I’m focusing on getting my eyes feeling better and will be having a little surgery soon, so I’m not available for adoption just yet, but once I’m healed I’ll be ready to meet my forever family. I thrive on one-on-one attention, love being the center of my person’s world, and with a patient, understanding home I’ll be the most loyal, loving companion you could ask for.

Story
Panda is 13 year old, 14 pound Shih tzu who came into our rescue when her owner passed away. Panda is a very sweet, calm girl who enjoys her walks, rides well in the car and loves to eat.  She can jump up on the couch but does not do the seven stairs up or down in her foster home. Panda is housetrained but will use a pee pad. She doesn’t seem to mind the snow but is not a fan of the rain or the very cold weather. Living with 3 other foster dogs Panda fits right in. She gets along with all the dogs and is very gentle when taking her treats.    We are still learning about Panda’s personality and how she adjusts to new situations.  So far it’s been an easy transition for her.   If you think Panda is the one for you, please fill in an application for our review.  March 9, 2026, 8:36 am

Story
This sweet dog sees with their heart and has so much love to give! Benji may not see with his eyes, but his other senses are on overdrive! He'll recognize you instantly by the sound of your voice and the unique scent of your hugs. This loving 2 year old Shhtzu mix is the most resilient, heart-filled pup you'll ever meet. He lost his eyes due to an untreated disease. But those days are behind him and now he has had vet treatment and is healthy, neutered and microchipped. From his wagging tail that never stops to his impressive "mapping" skills around the house, Benji is loving his foster siblings and home. His joy is unmatched, and he’ll bring you endless laughter and snuggles. He navigates his world with trust and confidence, reminding everyone around him to live in the moment. Blind dogs adapt quickly to a consistent and loving home. In return, the bond you build is an unbreakable connection built on pure trust. We have placed many blind dogs and are happy to connect you with other families for tips and support. If you're looking for a loyal, cuddly companion who will love you unconditionally, Benji is the one for you. Our preference is for a home with a fenced yard and another dog to help Benji learn the ropes. Please email us at c4ptoronto@gmail.com for an application and information.

Story
Bentley is a sweet, gentle soul with a heart full of love. At 15 years young, he was surrendered due to medical needs, but despite his challenges, he remains a joyful and resilient companion. Bentley has a heart murmur, but after a visit to a cardiologist, he was diagnosed with degenerative valvular disease, which requires no treatment — a relief for Bentley and his future family! In addition to his heart, Bentley’s eyes are in need of some care. He is blind in both eyes and struggles with dry eye and cherry eye, but he’s not letting that slow him down. He recently saw an ophthalmologist, and with the right medication, he’s living life to the fullest. Bentley is incredibly patient when it comes to his daily eye treatments, and his future family will need to be comfortable administering them. Bentley is on the lookout for a warm, loving home where he can enjoy slow, peaceful walks and snuggle up in a cozy bed. If you're ready to offer Bentley the care and love he deserves, he’s ready to bring endless affection into your life.

Story
Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo? If you're searching for a handsome little guy to steal your heart, look no further! Romeo is a neutered male Shih Tzu with a sweet disposition to match his charming name. Romeo has a few health needs that require special care. He has allergies, which are managed with daily medication and a vegetarian diet. Since starting this routine, his skin has greatly improved, and we've even been able to reduce the frequency of his medicated baths. Romeo also has dry eye and will need daily eye drops long-term to keep him comfortable. This sweet boy enjoys walks, making friends with calm dogs, and sharing quality cuddle time. Once he's had his exercise, Romeo's ideal afternoon involves lounging on the couch next to his favorite human. Romeo needs a patient adopter who understands that building trust takes time. He requires a muzzle for applying topical medications until a bond of trust is established. With consistent, gentle care, Romeo will flourish into the loving companion he's meant to be. Romeo is looking for a dedicated and peaceful home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love and comfort. Could that be with you? Romeo has a few health needs that require special care.
