** DEXTER'S ADOPTION FEE IS SPONSORED ** Dexter / Male / Approx 3 years / 50 lbs / Australian Cattle Dog Mix / Good with Dogs / Good with Children / Good with Cats / Medium-Low Energy / From Tennessee / Fostered in Brampton ** Follow Dexter's journey on Instagram: @lilcuddlebugfosters** Meet Dexter! This handsome boy is full of joy and never-ending affection. He is sweet, calm, friendly, sometimes goofy and very loving to his people. Giving people hugs and kisses is one of his favourite things and he'll happily greet you when you get home. He's excited to do whatever you feel like - from going for a walk to lounging on the couch. Dexter is very affectionate, he likes to stick close to his trusted humans. When meeting new people, he may take time to warm up, and appreciates slow introductions and time to observe and sniff. Dexter has lived with children ages 7 -17 and treated them the same as the adults. To Dexter, his humans are the best and he loves to play and cuddle with them all. Dexter walks well on leash and does not pull. He currently gets two walks a day of 30-45 minutes. He also loves play time in the backyard with his canine foster sister. He gets along well with other dogs who match his laid back energy and is good at reading cues. Dexter would be a great second dog in a home, but could also do well as the only dog. Dexter has not been tested with cats. On rare occasions, he can be a little uneasy and may bark or react when passing strange men or fast moving people running or on bikes. Dexter is great when left home alone and settles immediately. He is not crated and usually just curls up on a dog bed or the couch and chills out until his people come home. He may counter surf so it’s important to make sure all food is put away when leaving him. Dexter has been left for up to six hours without issue and is fully potty trained. While in foster care, Dexter received a diagnosis of megaesophagus which comes with some long-term care. Megaesophagus means that Dexter’s body doesn’t push food into his stomach the way it should. He is stable on medication and a regime of 3 meals per day fed while he is in an elevated position in a Bailey Chair. Dexter has become fairly accustomed to using his chair and will sit in it for up to 30 minutes after he eats. Small amounts of regurgitation is common for dogs with this condition and their health should be monitored. He also uses a travel pillow when lying down which minimizes the regurgitation. If you are interested in Dexter but have questions about his condition, please reach out and we would be happy to connect you with his vetting team to discuss further. Dexter’s ideal home would be with a loving family who is ready for endless kisses and has a willingness to commit to his healthcare. He is young and enjoys a daily walk with a few chances for potty breaks throughout the day. Dexter would do best in a home with a yard in a quiet area. Dexter is a real gem and wants nothing more than a committed family with whom he can enjoy his life. If you are looking for a fun-loving companion, Dexter is your guy. He has so much love to give and will brighten up your home.

Story
Meet Joey: CEO of Zoomies, Part-Time Leash Tugboat, Full-Time Good Boy!! (case #7537) Hi, I’m Joey, a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who showed up as a stray and decided, “Yes, I will be adopting humans now.” After some time getting my life together, I’m officially ready to find an active, committed home that can keep up with my big brain and even bigger energy. I’m a smart, high-octane dude who thrives with people that enjoy staying busy—think hiking, training, dog sports, or basically any activity where I can show off how clever I am. I already know how to sit (thank you very much), and while I do believe walking on a leash is a competitive sport, I’m extremely food-motivated, which means training me is less “work” and more “treat-based negotiation.” I love learning and will happily trade good behavior for snacks. I might enjoy having a canine roommate, as long as introductions are done slowly and responsibly—no surprise meet-and-greets, please. I’m a gentleman, not a chaos goblin. As a proud Australian Cattle Dog mix, I come pre-installed with a strong work ethic and the firm belief that I need a job. Obedience training, agility, herding, dog sports, or any activity that keeps both my body and brain busy will make me one very happy camper. Skip my daily mental and physical workouts, though, and I may invent my own hobbies… like interior redesign. (You’ve been warned.) I’m bold, strong-minded, and full of personality, so I’m best suited for an experienced dog owner who can provide clear structure, leadership, guidance, and boundaries. First-time dog owners—this one might be a bit of an advanced class. But for the right person? I’m endlessly fun, fiercely loyal, and an incredible partner. If you’re ready to put in the time, energy, and dedication—and want a dog who will match your lifestyle stride for stride—Joey might just be your perfect teammate. Please complete an adoption application: https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Story
Hi there… I’m Hazel I’m 8 years old, about 40 pounds, and I’m a pretty clever girl — even if I do say so myself. My family did a DNA test and found out I’m a mix of five different breeds — a real blend of a few wonderful breeds! But the ones that really stand out are my Australian Cattle Dog and Bulldog roots. That’s where my strong herding instincts come from. I’m naturally alert, aware, and always tuned in to what’s happening around me. It’s just how I’m wired. Six years ago, Just Paws Animal Rescue placed me with a wonderful family who has loved me so very much. This decision hasn’t been easy for them — it’s truly heartbreaking. They’ve done everything they can to help me succeed, but they’ve come to realize that I would be happiest and most at peace as the only dog in the home. So they’re working closely with the rescue to find me the very best possible match — a home where I can fully relax and thrive. I bond deeply with my people. I’m loyal, devoted, and love being near you — but I’m also independent. I’m happy to settle on my dog bed and enjoy my own space when it’s time to unwind. I feel my best when life is calm, predictable, and structured. Whenever I’ve stayed with Grandma (she doesn’t have any dogs), everyone notices how much more relaxed and content I am. That’s how they know for sure — I truly shine as the only pet. I just don’t enjoy sharing my space with other animals, and that’s okay. I’m meant to be someone’s one and only. Walks are one of my strengths. I’m great on leash and don’t pull, but I love to stop and smell. As long as I’m given space and not expected to interact with other dogs, I handle my walks beautifully. I also love to play fetch — toss a ball and I’m all in. It’s one of my favourite ways to burn energy and bond with you. I’m also a lover of the sun. Any time you miss me, you’ll find me sunbathing in a patch of sunlight. When I’m calm, I’m a fantastic listener. I know sit, stay (especially when you’re wiping my feet), give paw, and “go to bed.” I like having clear expectations — it makes me feel safe and confident. I’m fully house trained and perfectly comfortable being left alone. I can relax quietly at home and don’t struggle with separation anxiety. I’m healthy, active, and have no physical limitations. I love chewing on my bones, enjoying salmon treats, going for car rides, and of course playing fetch. Even though I’m not comfortable with other animals, I have never shown aggression toward people. My dream home would be an all-adult household with no other pets and a fully fenced yard where I can safely run and play. Someone who understands herding breeds would be wonderful. But most of all, I need a calm, steady person who will give me regular exercise, mental stimulation, and clear, loving boundaries. I’m being fostered in Waterloo. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent companion who will bond deeply with you and truly flourish as your one and only, I might just be your girl! ••••••••• As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details! An application for me can be found at www.justpaws.ca. Just Paws is located in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. We do not adopt out of province or country. Please note that although many of our dogs get along with children, we are not able to adopt to any household with kids under the age of 8 years old. This is a stipulation of our insurance and is not a reflection on suitability of the potential adopter.

Story
Looking for an ideal home for Enzo, a 4 year old (5 in April) Australian Cattle Dog, red heeler. He is a very smart, loyal companion, who needs lots of outdoor time, especially loves playing catch, so an ideal home would include a spacious backyard and even access to wilderness. Playing ball (catch) is definitely his favourite activity, and he is quite skilled at it. Regular walks have been part of his routine as well. Enzo is not friendly with other dogs, and has almost no experience with children. He can be aggressive towards some dogs and has shown resource protection reactivity. He has been leash trained, muzzle trained (for vet visits primarily) and listens to basic commands well (come, stay, sit, back, drop it, etc). Enzo very food motivated, so continued training is appropriate and recommended. Enzo is Very anxious in a moving vehicle and has had limited exposure to car rides as a result. He is great company at home and with consistent outdoor time is also a nice couch companion. He shows affection to his care giver, preferring male humans and is a great watch dog in the home. Those familiar with Australian Cattle Dogs, who have a large property would be ideal. Enzo is on epilepsy medication, which has been working very well, and has a cost of around $35 per month to obtain (with prescription). He has no dog food restrictions or other medical issues to report. Enzo has all his medical shots up to date, has been neutered and microchipped. This is a courtesy listing. If you are interested in providing Enzo with his forever home, please contact Stephen at (819) 319-0578 or thestephenmartin@gmail.com. Thank you!
