She exhibits a playful demeanor and enjoys the company of other dogs, and it is believed that she would also adapt well to living with cats. Honey has a tendency to sleep on the bed, indicating her desire for closeness with her companions. Although she is somewhat timid and demonstrates a preference for women, she is expected to acclimate to men over time. Additionally, she shows reluctance towards car rides; however, it is anticipated that she will become more comfortable with this experience as she gains confidence. Honey remains cautious around loud noises, such as passing buses, but she is making progress in her ability to walk outside. It is important to note that she is not fully house-trained, as she does not yet signal when she needs to relieve herself. Nevertheless, when left alone in the house, she does not exhibit destructive behavior, demonstrating that she is a well-behaved companion. Honey’s adoption fee will $650.00 and will include her health records. Honey has been vaccinated, microchipped, spayed and has received monthly preventatives.

Fitz

Shih Tzu

Story

Fitz is a 12 yr old shih tzu and a funny little old man who lives for snoozes, slow mornings, and happy neighborhood walks. He may be a senior with some special needs, but he is a gentle, easygoing companion who just wants to be by your side and enjoy life at your pace. Personality and routine Fitz is mellow, affectionate, and loves to follow his people from room to room or curl up nearby in his small bed or on the couch. He is a champion napper who happily sleeps in his crate overnight and often snoozes in after his early-morning potty break, then trots out for a long walk once he decides it is time to start the day. He is house trained with a routine, needs a last trip outside before bed, and will usually let you know when he needs to go out. Walks, manners, and quirks Despite his age, Fitz LOVES his walks, moves with a surprising pep in his step, and thinks sniffing every good smell is the best part of the day. He walks nicely on leash, is polite with other dogs, and is friendly and calm with new people, preferring gentle petting and quiet companionship over toys. Fitz is generally a quiet dog who rarely barks, but because he is deaf he can yell a bit when he is trying to tell you something important, which only adds to his charm. Health and special needs Fitz is a senior dog who is quite hard of hearing and has very limited vision, but he has adapted beautifully and navigates his world using his nose and routines. He receives eye drops twice a day and has liver value elevations on bloodwork; he has started a daily liver supplement, is currently doing well, and will need repeat bloodwork in 34 months to monitor this. Fitz will do best with an adopter who can commit to his ongoing vet care and is comfortable guiding a deaf, visually impaired senior with patience, consistency, and lots of love. Ideal home Fitz would thrive in a calm home that appreciates a low-key buddy rather than a playmate, with people who are around enough to keep him on his routine and enjoy couch time and easy strolls. He has been easy to live with in foster care, is good in the car when safely restrained, and is simply looking for someone who wants all the love of a dog without the stress of raising a puppy. If you are ready to open your heart to a gentle senior who will happily nap, wander, and chat his way through his golden years beside you, Fitz might be your perfect match.

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.
