Story
** 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
Crisp air, cozy sweaters, and a pup like Bindi - this winter might just be your best season yet. Bindi is the centre's little spark of joy - full of personality, a bit of sass, and a whole lot of heart. At a young age, she's already proving to be a brave, smart, and silly girl who greets each day like it's a grand adventure. She's the kind of pup who'll play in the snow with pure delight and then proudly solve a puzzle toy like she just won the gold medal. While she has an independent streak, once Bindi picks her people, her love runs deep and true. Her loyalty is unwavering, and the bond she forms is something truly special. She might take a little time to warm up, but when she does - you've got a best friend for life. Bindi would thrive in a home with no other animals or children. She's best suited for a single person who can appreciate her quirks, and match her playful energy. So if your idea of a perfect fall includes trail walks, laughter, and a loyal pup trotting beside you through the leaves - Bindi's waiting to meet you. 🍁 Come say hello at 800 Centennial Rd in Brockville - we're open daily from 11AM to 6PM. Bindi's ready to leap into her forever home... maybe even into your heart. 🧡🐶 Primary Color: Blue Merle Weight: 20.006 Age: 2yrs 3mths 2wks

Story
Meet Penny, a very special and sweet girl. Penny is calm, happy, and quiet; only barking when at the height of excitement. She loves nothing more than to cuddle and give affection to everyone she crosses paths with. She has quickly captured the hearts of her foster parents, and all of their extended family, friends, and neighbours.  Penny is approximately 4 1/2 years old and the shelter lists her as an Australian Shepherd mix. She has a unique look which is a bit of a mystery, suggesting multiple other breeds due to her medium height, floppy ears, stocky build, and mixture of brindle and merle coat patterns. She has the cutest polka dot socks!  While Penny has some weight to lose, we expect it to come off quickly once she is on a proper diet and going out for regular walks. She loves to go out for walks, she just needs to find her forever family who have the time and mobility to take her out for her daily exercise. Penny is otherwise in great shape with a clean bill of health at her latest appointment.  Penny gets along with all people and dogs. Her foster parents affectionately calls her the 'dog whisperer' as she has a calming presence that seems to make any dogs that cross her path feel calm and comfortable. While out walking we have seen other dogs barking in her face and she  has a way of calming them and suddenly they are best friends. Penny makes her foster parents laugh every day with her head cocking when you talk to her and gentle paw waving when she wants something. If you want a cuddly and loving girl, please consider beautiful Penny. She would be a great fit for families of any size or age group, with or without existing pets. You will not regret having this gentle soul of a dog come into your life.November 19, 2025, 10:21 am

Story
Marco is a purebred, Australian cattle dog a.k.a. blue heeler. He was born with a bilateral cleft lip. This birth defect does not stop him from doing anything. A normal dog would do. He eats just like a normal dog would eat. You just have to brush his teeth a little more often in that area to get the food out and check for grass or sticks that may get stuck in there. Please note this is not the same thing as a cleft palette. This is just a cleft lip and he can eat any type of food completely fine. Marco may look a bit different but he is a gorgeous boy. Marco is currently 5-8 months old 17 pounds. Male Heelers are typically 40-50 pounds fully grown. He is very timid and shy and under socialized but a gentle, nervous boy who has a huge heart and a beautiful soul. He does nervous pee so we are working on this and I do not think this will be forever I think once he gain some confidence, he will be perfectly fine. He gets very nervous with new people, dogs, and places. He needs a committed adopter willing to socialize him, be patient, loving , kind, and start on some basic puppy 101 training when he is ready. He is a nervous nelly but has the absolute sweetest soul. Please give him a chance !!
