Pinky and Pumpkin - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Pinky - Cockapoo - Female - 29 lbs (overweight) - 7 yrs (approx.)
Pumpkin - Cockapoo - Female - 39 lbs (overweight) - 7 yrs (approx.)

Location: Sutton West

Rescued with love from Charlie and Blue

Meet Pumpkin and Pinky, two cockapoo bonded sisters who have only known love all of their lives.
We’ve only had these girls for a week, but this is what we’ve learned so far:

Pumpkin is the sensitive one with soulful eyes and loves her hugs. She follows her foster parents around and likes to play with puzzles. She’s convinced she’s a lapdog at 39lbs, but we can’t help but indulge her.

Pinky is quieter and softer, confident and relaxed. She loves playing fetch with soft toys and snuggling beside you at bedtime. Despite her size and demeanour, she’s the boss of this pack.

These sweet girls come from a loving home. Sadly their human Dad passed away and human Mom was no longer able to care for them. She made the sacrifice to ensure Pumpkin and Pinky continue to live happy healthy lives. One of our shelter partners reached out to Save Me about these girls and we were happy to bring them into rescue.

Dean - APPLICATION IN PROGRESS

Terrier Mix - Male - 12 lbs - 1 yr (approx.)

Location: Mississauga

Sponsored by Cole, Bryson and Maeve because every dog deserves safe and loving home.

Dean is a 1 year old terrier mix who has made his journey from Ohio to find a family of his own. He’s a sweet, loving happy go lucky little guy who would make a wonderful addition to any family.

Dean loves people of all ages and loves to snuggle up with his humans. His sweet and gentle nature makes him suitable for a home with small but respectable children. He’s currently living with two children in his foster home ages 8, and 5 and absolutely adores them.

He gets along well with other dogs and has done well with cats. He’s is currently living with two small senior dogs in his foster home and loves them. He’s tries very hard to get them to play but they are older distinguished gentlemen and prefer to spend their days laying around. He would love to have another small playful dog in his forever home to play with but is not a requirement.

He’s a playful little guy who loves his toys. Stuffy toys are his favourite and a good bone to chew on. So a good selection of those in his forever home will make him very happy. After a good play session he enjoys a nice well deserved nap.

When coming to his foster home many things were new to him such as going for a walk and house training. However he is a smart little guy who has learned very quickly. And being food motivated has made training very easy. He knows that outside is where he does his business now. However he is kept on a schedule and let out regularly so his forever family will have to continue with that to ensure his success. He walks well on a leash but has not learned yet that walks are also to do our business. So they are strictly exercise only at the moment. Therefore a fenced in yard is a must as that’s where he prefers to do his business currently.

He is crated when his foster family is out. He will whine and cry for a bit but settles quickly. At night he sleeps with his foster family in bed and peacefully sleeps the night away.

As is very common in small dogs, Dean has a luxating patella in his right, rear leg. The vet graded it as 2-3 and his mobility is not affected. This grade of luxation is not requiring surgical intervention. To optimize Dean not having issues in the future, he needs to be kept at a healthy weight. Supplements such as glucosamine chondroitin and/or omegas can also be helpful.

If you are looking for a sweet, loving, playful happy little guy Dean just may be your guy.

Bay - AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
Lee - APPLICATION IN PROGRESS
(will only be adopted separately)

Terrier Mix - Male - TBD - 8 weeks on Jan 24

Location: Owen Sound

Bay is sponsored by Toba, in honour of Toby, Riley, and Penny. Every furbaby deserves a loving home and happiness. Lee is sponsored in celebration of an awesome dad.

Bay and Lee were born on November 28th and will be ready to go to their new homes as of January 24th. Hope, the puppies mom is a terrier mix who is approximately 15lbs. We don't know the breed of the father but we believe the puppies will be small-medium in size when full grown.

Of the two pups in the litter Lee (black and white) is the one who we have to work hard not to baby. He is so sweet and cuddly and would be happy to be in your arms all day long. He's a little shy in new situations and will require a home with another confident dog to show him the ropes or a family who is committed to working on building his confidence through training and appropriate socialization. He is very people focused but also loves a good play session with his brother.

Bay (brown and white) is the confident puppy in the litter. While his brother is a bit on the shy side, Bay is the opposite. He is quick to warm up to new people and new situations and always wants to be part of the action. He loves to play and wrestle with his brother and we have nicknamed him "the bruiser" as he is always bowling Lee over with his antics. He is such a fun puppy who would be a wonderful addition to any household.

For more information on Bay and Lee, please contact Courtney at [email protected]

Milou - RECEIVING EXTRA TLC - Not Accepting Applications

Maltese/Shih Tzu mix - Male - 17 lbs - 5 years (approx.)

Location: Innerkip

Sponsored in honour of some special teachers.

Say Hello to Milou!!!

Personality of the name Milou - Adventurous and curious, always ready to explore his surroundings with infectious enthusiasm, a friendly and lively personality , playful and spirited !!! This Beautiful Boy loves being outside and going for several daily walks!!! He very seldom Barks, most times if playing or when his Foster sister starts first. Lol

He is the best backseat passenger, loves the car!! Not destructive. He has learned to play with toys and stuffies!!

He's a great eater loves his food and the odd treat!! Totally housetrained!!

Milou looks for my Grandsons to play with and loves everyone he meets....a bit reactive to some dogs on walks but is getting better everyday with voice commands and some reassurance!!

Milou's major health issues have been dealt with and he is doing well (see below for more medical information). Unfortunately, his difficult past did leave some emotional scars!!

His foster home is providing him with love and the help he needs to be ready for adoption in the future!!

Milou will need patience, kindness and TIME to fully trust and relax....he will get there I know he will!!!!

The Goofball in him makes my Family and I smile everyday:) :)

Milou's medical information: Milou came into rescue after being abandoned at a veterinary clinic, which resulted in him being high risk in a Quebec pound. Milou’s mouth was one of the most severe cases our veterinarians had seen. The deep seated infection resulted in Milou needing all of his teeth extracted. Milou also suffered bone loss in his jaw from the long neglected infection. Now that his mouth is healthy he is eating well and put on some much needed weight.

These issues were very painful for Milou and an after effect is that he is very reticent to have his face/eyes/ears touched. This has been challenging as he has had both ear and eye infections.

Milou’s very patient foster mother is working with him and seeing progress in him being able to trust people. Being on clomicalm has been helpful as well, in this regard.

Like many little white dogs, Milou does have some seasonal allergies and apoquel has been helpful.

Aisha - RECEIVING EXTRA TLC - Accepting Applications

Shih Tzu - Female - 11 lbs - 4 yrs (approx.)

Location: Kingston

Sponsored in honour of my Daisy who is about 12 and had a mass removed from her eye and is on the mend and waiting for the results of her biopsy. Please keep Daisy in your prayers.

Aisha is a 4 year old, female, shih tzu from Quebec.

Aisha came to her foster home as a very scared little girl, so much so, that she would not let anyone touch her. It became clear very early, that she preferred men to women. She did not seem as fearful of men or of older children.

Aisha, (Missy) has come a long way in her foster home. She hangs out with her foster dad and allows him to pick her up and to pet her. Her tail is wagging, and she realizes she LOVES treats. She has, once or twice sat on her foster mom’s lap. When she feels comfortable with you, she will nibble on your clothes! Missy sleeps on her foster parent’s bed on a pillow beside her foster dad’s head. Missy would definitely need a home with a fenced yard as she is a flight risk. It took a long time for her to allow you to put a harness on her and she is still unsure. She does not walk well on a leash, she is always looking for a way to “escape” and will twist and turn trying to get out of her harness.

She does very well with the other dogs in her foster family. Once you get her in the car, she has learned that it is not so scary to go for a car ride.

Missy would need a home that can continue to build her confidence and show her that life is not as scary as she has seen in her past.

She would do best in a home with another dog to show her how to become a confident dog. She would do best in a home with older children or no children.

Furgie - ADOPTED!

Maltese Mix - Female - 11 lbs - 5 yrs (approx.)

Location: Toronto

Sponsored on behalf of Alli. Happy Holidays.

Meet Furgie – Your Perfect Lap Dog Companion!

Furgie is an 11 lb white female Maltese mix who is vaccinated, spayed, and ready to find her forever home. She has a medium-to-low energy level and is a quiet girl who’s still finding her voice.

A little timid at first, Furgie quickly warms up and reveals her sweet and loving personality. She’s a true lap dog who loves cuddling on the sofa and sleeping in bed with her humans at night. She is likely good with cats.

She’s great with other dogs and absolutely adores children. Her ideal family would include a gentle and patient child, as Furgie will want to spend all her time by their side.

Furgie is making progress with potty training and would do best in a home with a backyard where she can have a little privacy to do her business—she’s shy about going on walks.

Loving, affectionate, and eager to bond, Furgie is ready to join a family that will give her plenty of snuggles and attention.

Dean is available for adoption and is ready to find his forever family to share adventures with.

Michele - FOREVER FOSTER

Miniature Poodle - Female - 11 lbs - 14 yrs (approx.)

Sponsored with love by Jen, Jamie and Flip

Update from her foster mom: She is the happiest Girl as you can see by her smile in her photos!!! Tiny girl with a huge personality that took a bit of time to shine through.

She loves her foster siblings Milou (Save Me) and my Miley (also a rescue from 2023). She loves her food and gets so excited at breakfast & supper times .... She wasn't much of a cuddle bug at first but now looks forward to kisses on her head & face.

After a recent health scare we are pleased that she was able to come Home for Christmas and how she is responding so well to her medications & supportive care!!!

Each day is a gift with Michele as she is said to be 15 or 16ish and I cherish each and every one.

Foster Momma Julie

While Michele's initial bloodwork was okay and we proceed with a dental, she did not do as well as we hoped dealing with surgery and it was decided that it was not in her best interest to do further surgery. We have not been able to spay Michele due to this. Given her advanced age and overall well-being, it was decided to let her live out her life, as a forever foster, with her loving foster mom.
