Kiromi and Tauri😻
Available for adoption
In foster care since: May 1, 2023
Good with: dogs, children, cats
Fostered in Dutton, Ontario
Adoption fee: $200 for the pair

Oh, hey there! We’re Kiromi and Tauri, two sweet and shy sisters looking for our forever home. We’re super close, and wherever one of us goes, the other is right behind—seriously, we’re like shadows! We love curling up together for snuggles and naps, so if you’re looking for double the cuteness, you’ve found us.😍😍

Now, we might be a bit shy at first (we’re still getting used to new things), but there’s one thing that always wins us over... food! We’re big fans of wet food and treats, and honestly, a little snack goes a long way in helping us come out of our shells. Once we’re comfy, we promise we’re sweet and gentle—we even let our foster pick us up and cuddle us sometimes!🥰

We think we’d be happiest in a quiet, calm home—maybe an apartment or a cozy small house where we can feel secure. We like it nice and peaceful, so we’re not really fond of other animals. We’ve been around other cats, but let’s just say we prefer to keep our circle small. We haven’t met any dogs, but we’re a little scared of them, so we’d rather just stick to a home without any furry roommates for now.

We’re still pretty nervous about new experiences, but with time, patience, and lots of love, we know we’ll both blossom into the wonderful companions we’re meant to be. We’re both spayed and up-to-date on our vaccines, so we’re all set to find a loving family!

If you think you’ve got the perfect quiet space where we can feel safe and loved. We’d love to meet you, so if you’re interested, just fill out the adoption form below! We can’t wait to find a home where we can snuggle, eat treats, and finally settle down.❤️

Red 🐾
Available for Adoption
Fostered near Woodstock
Adoption fee $700

Hello! I’m Red, a retired sled dog with a big heart and a little bit of shyness. My humans think I’m around 6 years old, but honestly, I’m more of a mysterious, open book—my past is a bit of a puzzle, but I’m definitely on my way to writing my next chapter!😍

When I first arrived in foster care, I was a bit shy and unsure, but guess what? My awesome foster sister has shown me all the ropes, and I’ve started to blossom into the sweet and lovable guy I am today. I might be a bit on the quiet side, but you’ll definitely get to know my love for ear scratches. Seriously, I live for those!

I’m working on becoming more confident with my surroundings, though changes in my routine can still stress me out a little. But with the right support and some patience, I know I can continue to thrive. I’m very observant—watching my foster parents and learning from them. They’re so patient with me, and I really appreciate that.💕
I love walks! I’m told I’m a superstar on the leash. And when I’m not out on a walk, you’ll probably find me just chilling out, enjoying a good TV session. Life’s all about balance, right? A little action, a little relaxation!

Now, I’m on the lookout for my forever home. I’m hoping to find someone who will embrace my quirks and love me unconditionally. I’d really enjoy having another calm doggie companion—someone who can teach me even more about being a dog (and maybe share some quiet cuddle time too).
I do take medication for my anxiety, but I have high hopes that my forever home will help me become even more relaxed and content.🥰

I’m all set to go—neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccines. So if you think you could be the perfect person to help me write my happily ever after, fill out the application below. I can't wait to meet you!🙏

Maggie & Lily 😻
⭐ ADOPTED ⭐
Fostered in Barrie, Ontario
Adoption fee $950

I’m Maggie, and this is my best friend, Lily. We’re an inseparable pair with a bond that’s truly heartwarming, and we can’t wait to find a home where we can share all the love we have to give. Together, we bring double the joy, love, and loyalty, making us the perfect duo for anyone looking to welcome two loving, furry companions into their family.🥰🙏

I’m a 6-year-old Chihuahua, and Lily is a 2-year-old Chihuahua. We’re both spayed, healthy, and up to date on all our vaccinations, ready for a fresh start in a new home.
At first, we’re a little shy, but once we feel comfortable in a calm and patient environment, we’ll shower you with affection—cuddles, belly rubs, and plenty of love. We love nothing more than curling up under a cozy blanket for a nap. But don’t let our snuggly side fool you—we also have plenty of energy! We enjoy short walks and playful moments together, making us a delightful pair to have around.

Lily gets along well with other dogs and dog-savvy cats, so we could be a great fit for a variety of households. I’m good with cats and smaller dogs, but I can be a little insecure around larger dogs and may occasionally bark at them as I adjust.

We’re both potty trained, though like any dog, we might have the occasional accident while settling into a new routine. I recently had a dental checkup after someone kindly informed me that my breath was giving off ‘vibes’ and my oral health could use a little TLC. They yanked out some of those troublemakers and now my smile is sparkling. Not quite the fairy tale makeover, but it’ll do!😉

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to us, please fill out an application below. We’d be overjoyed to meet you and find our forever home where we can share all the love we have to give!🐾💕

Noelle🐶
⭐Available to foster or adopt⭐
3 years old
Located in London, Ontario

Well hey there!! I’m Noelle! 💖 and I’m ready to steal your heart! I came from a local First Nations community, where I was living outside with my pups. But luckily, we were all brought into care on December 14, 2024, and now I’m enjoying the good life indoors, all cozy and comfy. My pups don’t need me anymore, and now it’s my turn for some extra love and attention! 🌟

Unfortunately I tested positive for both heartworm and Lyme disease, so I am looking for a foster or adoptive home to let me relax while I go through treatment. My medical care is paid for by the rescue.

I’m a total sweetheart: calm, loving, and always up for snuggling with my humans. I’m housebroken and great with kids. I’m eager to learn, and I’m pretty proud of my leash skills (they’re a work in progress, but I’m catching on!). I’ll always be near you, hoping for some pets—and maybe a snack or two (I’m very generous that way). 🍪💕

I can be quite selective when it comes to other dogs. I’m not the biggest fan of sharing my attention, and I’m protective of my personal bubble. A home with no other dogs would be best for me. As for cats, I’ve been meet a few and I’m indifferent to them, so I wouldn’t mind having a feline friend around.

I have been microchipped, am up to date on my vaccines and will be spayed in the near future.
If you think your home could be a good fit for me, please apply below!

Scrappy🐾
⭐ Available for Foster or Adoption ⭐
1.5 years old (neutered)
Located near Belleville
Adoption fee: $700

Meet me, Scrappy, your soon-to-be favorite ball of energy!
• I'm great with cats (I’ve got that feline finesse down!)
• I’m selective with dogs (I just know who vibes well with me.)
• I’m crate trained (I love my cozy little cave.)
• I’m house trained (No surprises here—I keep it clean!)

I’m on the lookout for a superstar foster home, a foster-to-adopt adventure, or, let’s be real, my forever family. After spending four weeks at Black Hill Dog Company, I’ve learned some seriously impressive doggie skills! I’ve got a strong foundation, and now I just need someone who’ll keep the good vibes rolling. 😍

I’m ALL about the action. High energy? You bet. I’ll need some consistency, a solid routine, and maybe a couple of playdates to burn off all my excitement. I’m basically a doggy genius — I learn quickly and love to show off my tricks. 🧠✨

If you’re ready for a fun-loving, intelligent, and occasionally selectively picky dog who loves to work and needs a yard for all my zoomies, I’m your guy. A home with experience (and patience) to match my enthusiasm is key! Bonus points if you’re ready to continue training and help me become the top-notch canine I’m meant to be.

A huge shoutout to Black Hill Dog Company for turning me into the top-tier pup I am today! I’m forever grateful! 💕
I’m neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccines.

📣At BSDRO, the long term residents decided to try dating apps! Magnolia is here to introduce herself to all of you!
This coming Valentine's Day, think about considering a canine companion! 💕

MAGNOLIA🐾💓
💕AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION💕
1 year old female- spayed
In foster care since: September 23, 2024
Fostered in: London, Ontario
Adoption fee: $700

I'm Magnolia! I came into care back in September 2024, and after spending months with my amazing foster family, I'm finally ready to find my forever home. I'm a mix of sweet, shy, smart, and full of energy. At first, I might be a little cautious, but trust me, the fun is definitely worth overcoming my little fears.
’m also becoming a real pro at being a house pet! While I’d thrive in a home with another dog to help show me the ropes, I’m totally open to a people-only home, too – as long as there's plenty of love, patience, and, you know, maybe some treats! I’m spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all my vaccinations. I get along with other dogs, cats, and kids, though I tend to shy away from busy toddlers.
So, what do you think? Are you ready to give me the loving home I’ve been dreaming of? If you’re interested, just fill out the application below! I can’t wait to meet you!

Hey there! I’m Violet, a gorgeous blue-eyed Husky mix with a heart full of energy, love, and adventure! I get along with my foster dog siblings, no matter their size or breed, and I love playing with them. I might chase the cats a little (I’m still figuring that part out!), but hey, I’m a young pup and learning. I’m also pretty into soccer—those balls are just too fun to kick around—and I’ve got a thing for chewing on toys too.💕

When it comes to my humans, I’m super loyal and affectionate. I’ll be right there by your side, always! I especially love running with my foster mom, so if you’re active and need a buddy, I could be the perfect fit.

I am a crate pro now, I know it is my safe place and go right in all on my own! Oh, and just so you know, I’m microchipped, spayed, and all caught up on my vaccinations!🥰
