Whippet puppies and dogs in Newcastle, Ontario

CHARLIE 🐕 **Charlie has been waiting for his forever home since 2023** ❗️Please share far and wide so we may find his forever homes this year❗️ Located in Brampton, ON ~3.5 year old male / fixed / vaccinated Native Egyptian dog x Whippet mix (best guess) but ~44 lbs CHARLIE is a happy and extremely affectionate guy! He is happiest playing outside and loves long trail walks. He also loves to be with “his people” snuggling on the couch. Charlie is house trained and knows sit, paw & down. He is crate trained but does good when left alone and doesn’t get into any trouble. He does have a high prey drive so he should not be In a home with cats and though he has not shown any aggression with people he does jump and is mouthy when playing so he would do best in a home with older children. Charlie was adopted quickly but due to a congenital defect to his kidney (shown by ultrasound), he was surrendered back to DFBH after one year with his Canadian family. This was undoubtedly heartbreaking for him. He was then moved to 3 different foster homes (due to no fault of his own). He is now in a stable foster home (for about 1 year) and lives with other dogs fabulously. Health notes: His medical condition is being managed with an easy tablet once daily which he takes very well, and a low protein kidney specific diet. He does dribble urine at night but is very good about wearing his belly bands. Reusable ones with a pad inside are best! Fun facts: He is a very loyal companion. He makes funny dinosaur noises when he is super excited. NOTES: Kidney medication is approx. $30 a month, Kidney special diet is approx. $80 a month. Urine testing and bloodwork is being done once a year. It should be noted that on this protocol Charlie will live well but will not live as long as other dogs his same breed/size normally would. Ideally he would have a home with a yard & an active owner who can take him out for walks at least twice a day! Please give this boy a chance, don’t let his congenital defect deter you from adopting a great dog! Yes even dogs born differently deserve love and a stable home! Could you be that person who finally makes Charlie’s dreams come true?? **We will throw in a 3 month supply of his Medication & a large bag of Kidney specific diet Kibble when he is adopted** Foster to Adopt app: https://form.jotform.com/211694512438255

Lidia | 1 year old | 25 lbs | Whippet mix | GTA Meet Lidia, the most smiley and easygoing girl who is truly just happy to be here! Lidia is an incredible companion whose only demand is to be loved. She doesn't beg for food, chew things she shouldn't, guard resources, or make a fuss about going into her crate. She's great about being handled, sleeps peacefully while you work, and is equally up for walks or naps, depending on the flow of the day. She also walks beautifully on leash. Lidia is currently living in a condo in the city, and is adjusting well to the sights and sounds of big city living. We think she'd do well in a busy or quieter environment, house or condo, single person household or family household. This girl is adaptable! Within 24 hours of her arrival, she had adjusted to the routines and rhythms of her foster home, and is happy to go with the flow. In fact, within 25 minutes of arriving at her foster home, she crawled into her foster mom's lap and fell asleep. She's very loving and gentle, and loves to be cuddled and held. She seems grateful to have landed in a place where lots of love is available to her, and we know she'll be so happy to find her loving forever home. Lidia has lived with cats and dogs. She is a bit skeptical of other dogs but fine with a slow introduction. She'd do well as a second dog, but it's certainly not a requirement. She is a people person, and seems to draw the most comfort and contentment from her relationships with her humans. For this reason, she'd love a home where someone is around a fair bit of the time. She wasn't made for the solitary life! Lidia is a small dog who walks well on leash. She's housetrained, gentle, curious, and very loving. As her fosters say, whoever adopts her will be so fortunate.
