Story
Courtesy Post Bronx is with Toronto Animal Services.  Please contact them at (416) 338-PAWS (7297) if you are interested in him. Bronx is a beautiful, 2 year old, 30kg, American Bulldog who is at Toronto Animal Services West shelter. Bronx came in after being abandoned at a neighbour's home. When he arrived at the shelter, he was very nervous but sweet. He easily bonds with anyone he meets and will stick with you like glue. In the shelter he is anxious and is currently on meds to help him but he was lucky enough to spend a day out with one of the volunteers who said he was amazing in the home and had this to say:  “Bronx seemed shy and very anxious at first when he was in the kennel at the shelter. But outside of that, in a home setting, he is such a good dog. He likes to cuddle and enjoys quiet time. He’ll happily snuggle with you on the couch and will boop you with his nose when he wants attention. I think he would do well in a quiet home with a big space he can explore. He’s the perfect homebody who can accompany you while relaxing and spending time at home. Once he became comfortable, he was very responsive to commands and seemed eager to connect. He would wag his tail and seek out attention, showing a really sweet and affectionate side of his personality.” Bronx does have some skin issues that the vet suspects is some degree of allergic skin disease (possibly due to food, environment, etc).  He is being treated with medication and special shampoos. He is also currently on a hypo diet and is on Apoquel (along with anxiety meds for shelter stress). His skin is looking well but it will be something that needs to be monitored and/or treated long term.  Bronx has been neutered, microchipped and given his DA2PP, Bordetella and Rabies vaccines along with dewormer and a treatment of Bravecto.July 12, 2026, 1:39 pm

Story
Traye is a handsome and determined boy, always on a mission to explore and discover the world around him! He loves going for walks and checking out every new scent and sight. Traye is selective with other dogs, so he’ll need a home with a secure, fully fenced backyard to give him the space he needs. Deeply loyal to his people, Traye thrives in an adult-only home where his protective instincts are understood and respected. When new people enter his space, he will need a separate area to ensure everyone’s safety and to help him feel secure. Once Traye becomes more comfortable, he will benefit from slow, muzzled introductions to new people in his home, with initial introductions outside the home helping him adjust to newcomers in a less stressful way. With the right guidance and structure, Traye has the potential to be an incredibly loving and devoted companion. If you're experienced and ready to give him the time and patience he needs, Traye will reward you with a strong bond and unwavering loyalty.

Story
Meet Ruby, a strong-hearted lady with a remarkable story. She was found alone on the streets while pregnant, and after a challenging start, Ruby has been transferred to our shelter where she can receive the specialized care she truly deserves. Ruby has been diagnosed with Degenerative Valvular Disease, which affects all the valves of her heart. We're currently working with a cardiologist to further understand her condition, but at this time, she doesn't require any medication or activity restrictions. Ruby also suffers from allergies and needs a special diet and treats to keep her skin and ears in the best condition. Ruby may initially be shy when meeting new people, but don’t let her reserved nature fool you! Once she feels safe and comfortable, she blossoms into a bundle of pure love and affection. Her big heart is just waiting to connect with someone who can offer her the patience and understanding she needs to build confidence. Ruby is currently a work in progress and would thrive in a home with an experienced adopter who can continue her leash training. Due to her past experiences, Ruby can be reactive to other dogs, and we're carefully assessing her socialization skills. Her ideal family would be one with teens or adults who can provide a calm, consistent environment and appreciate Ruby’s unique personality. Despite her challenges, Ruby is more than her past – she’s a powerful girl with an enormous capacity for love, just waiting to share her heart with the right family. Ruby needs a calm, understanding home where she can continue her healing journey, build trust, and become the loving companion she was always meant to be. Could you be the one to help her grow into the incredible dog she’s destined to be?

Story
FOR ADOPTION: A few weeks ago, we introduced you to Rusty is a young boxer mix who was struggling in a shelter environment, overlooked not because he was a bad dog, but because he was overwhelmed, frustrated, and simply lacking an outlet. That was never the real Rusty. Since entering foster care, Rusty has completely transformed. With regular exercise, structure, patience, and love, his true personality has emerged and it’s impossible not to fall in love with him. At just 1 year old, Rusty is playful, intelligent, goofy, affectionate, and always eager to be part of whatever his humans are doing. He has settled beautifully into his foster home and has loved every adventure that has come his way from waterfront walks, to hikes, to tagging along on outings and car rides. Now that we’ve gotten to know Rusty better, we know exactly what kind of home will help him continue to thrive. Rusty’s ideal forever home would include: • An active family who enjoys long walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures • A family experienced with higher-energy dogs and committed to continuing his training as Rusty is incredibly smart and learns quickly • Another playful dog companion would be a bonus, as Rusty is very social and enjoys dogs that match his energy level • Older children would likely be the best fit because of his enthusiasm and size • A fenced yard where he can safely burn off energy and play A few more things to know about Rusty: • He LOVES car rides and dog toys • He is doing wonderfully in his crate overnight and when left home alone • He’s become very popular at his vet clinic and the staff absolutely adore him • He is happiest when included in daily life and adventures with his people His foster family knows saying goodbye will not be easy, but they also know Rusty deserves a forever family who sees him for who he truly is. In their words: “Rusty is going to make his new family VERY happy with his goofy antics and fun personality! He is always eager to please his humans.” Sometimes the dog you almost overlook… Turns out to be exactly the dog someone was waiting for. If you think Rusty may be the perfect addition to your family, please fill out an adoption application through TEAM Dog Rescue: www.teamdogrescue.ca

Story
Juniper is a sweet, 9 year old female mixed breed dog. She had a rough start to life as a stray, suffered and overcame heartworm and has shown everyone who meets her how smart, gentle and funny is truly is. Although she has come so far, she still carries a lot of the baggage and anxiety from her earlier days. Junie loves to take naps, relax, stretch her legs and look forward to things in her usual routine. Walks, people and squirrel watching, stretching out on the couch. She also loves to be around friends, go to the pet store, the hardware store or Starbucks. She adores car rides and playing in sprinklers. Sometimes those fun outings can be overstimulating and cause her to become stressed and can also be stressful for her human friends. Her current foster parents have found out that taking time to introduce her to any new situation- allowing her to see (and safely sniff) a new place, keeping the first visit short and pairing it with treats, praise and patience can make a huge difference for her. She has time and time again shown that with each visit to a slightly less routine place, she becomes more comfortable and relaxed. And yes, we think her new adopters may even need to do this with their neighborhood coffee shop. Adopters will also need to pre-plan for potentially high stress situations where Junie may feel the need to act first and ask questions later before she understands what is happening. Asking people to give her space and giving her breaks when she needs them are very important for Junie. The great thing is: Junie enjoys being around friends in a predictable way such as having her mat to sit on with a chew treat when she needs a break from being a social butterfly.
