Mel💕
😻⭐AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION⭐😻
3 year old male (neutered)
Fostered in: London, Ontario
Adoption fee: $150

Mel is a stunning 3 year old Persian who was rescued from the streets of Cairo, Egypt. He was flown to Canada a year and a half ago to
have a better life here.

​He is an easy going lad who enjoys hanging out with humans, other cats, dogs, rabbits and even lizards (all of whom he lives with in his present foster home).
He loves to cuddle but is also happy to be independent.

​This past summer it was discovered that Mel has a urinary blockage disease called FLUTD that is common in male cats. FLUTD can be very serious and it meant he had to have many treatments including surgery to save his life.
He thankfully survived but will always have bladder problems and need to stay on a special diet for the rest of his life.

​⭐If you have any experience with FLUTD, Mel would do well in your home.
⭐If you don't know about FLUTD but are willing to learn, he is definitely worth falling in love with. 💕

He is neutered and up to date on vaccinations.
If you are interested in adopting Mel, please fill out the application below. Feel free to send us a message with any questions you may have,

📣PUPDATE!📣

Hi again everyone! We thought this might be a good time to reintroduce ourselves!
We are the Yellowstone pups, now 5 weeks old and officially named. If you're familiar with the show, you’ll understand what our foster mom means when she says our names are spot-on for our unique personalities.💕

Our mom, Noelle, is a mastiff mix of sorts, though we're not sure about our dad’s breed. We arrived in care on December 14, 2024, from a local First Nations community. We were born outside and living in the freezing cold. Since coming to our foster home, we’ve been thriving and growing like weeds.

We’re lively, playful little fluff balls, getting tons of socialization in our foster home, where we’re surrounded by people who love to shower us with attention. When we’re not busy playing or loving up on the humans, we can be found peacefully napping in a cozy puppy pile—or maybe chowing down! We do eat a LOT!

In just a few short weeks, we will be looking for new foster homes to help us learn and give us all the love, snuggles, and attention a puppy could dream of😍 . A few weeks after that, you’ll start to see our smooshy little faces on here, searching for our furever. Keep your eyes p*eled for updates on our journey to finding the best homes ever!🐾

01/14/2025

Join us for our Valentine's Day pet photo shoot, where all animals are welcome! 😍

Come have your pet's picture taken for Valentine's Day at Ren's Pets in North London, and meet some of our adoptable animals who are searching for their perfect furever homes.

The event will take place on February 8th from 1 PM to 4 PM. Each photo session is $20, with all proceeds going towards caring for the animals currently in our rescue.

Appointments can be made by emailing us at [email protected], walk-ins are also welcome.

We truly appreciate your continued support!💕

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

Kiromi and Tauri are two sweet, shy sisters who are looking for their forever home. They are very bonded, and wherever one goes, the other follows, often curling up together. Both love food, especially wet food and treats, which can be helpful in encouraging them to come out of their shells.

These girls are still quite timid and would do best in a quiet home, ideally with no other animals. They prefer a smaller space, such as an apartment or small house, where they can feel more secure. Though they have been around other cats, they don't particularly enjoy their company, and they haven't met the dogs in their foster home due to their fear.

While they are still fearful of new experiences, they have allowed their foster to pick them up and cuddle them, showing that they are sweet and gentle. These girls just need some time, patience, and love to bloom into the wonderful companions they are meant to be.

They are both spayed and up to date on vaccines.
The adoption fee for both Kiromi and Tauri is $200. If you're interested in giving these shy sisters a safe and quiet home, please fill out the adoption form below:

Red🐾
⭐Available for Adoption⭐
Fostered near Woodstock
Good with dogs
Crate trained
House trained
Adoption fee $700

Hi, my name is Red, and I am a retired sled dog. The humans think I’m around 6 years old. My rescuers don’t have much information about my past, but I was pretty shy when I came into foster care. I have a foster sister who has taught me so many things, and I have really come out of my shell! I’m still a pretty shy guy, but not when it comes to having my ears scratched. I love that! I do get stressed out when my routine changes, but I’m working hard to adapt. I watch and listen to my foster parents, who have really been patient. I love going on walks, and I’ve been told I’m such a good dog on them. I enjoy lying around watching TV just as much as I love walks. I walk really well on the leash.

I am looking for my forever home where I can spend time with my person—someone who will be patient with my quirks and who wants a dog that will love them unconditionally. I’d like to have another dog who can continue to show me how to be a dog and will play or enjoy quiet times with me. I currently take medication for my anxiety, but hopefully being in my forever home will change that. I would do best in a home with another dog who can keep me company, but they don’t have to be extremely active. I’d prefer a friend who can be calm with me.
I have been microchipped, neutered, and am up to date on all relevant vaccines.
If you are interested in giving me my forever home, please fill out the application below.💕

Chico🐶
⭐Available for adoption⭐
6 year old male (neutered)
In care since December 2nd, 2024
Fostered in London, Ontario
Adoption fee- $700

Meet Chico, a charming 6-year-old Chihuahua with a heart full of love and a personality to match! While he may be a bit timid at first, it doesn’t take long for him to warm up and show his true, affectionate self. He’s a little forgetful at times and may bark when you leave the room, but it’s only because he cares so much and can’t wait to see you again.

Chico gets along well with other dogs, though he can sometimes get a bit too brave when playing with the bigger pups. He loves following them around, but we think he’d be happiest in a home with smaller dogs. When introduced to cats, he was curious and friendly, showing a calm and open demeanor.

This sweet boy has a special love for snuggling up with his favorite person, especially under the covers at night. During the day, he’s the ultimate lap dog, always eager for affection and cuddles. Chico is working on his outdoor potty training, as he was previously trained to use puppy pads. While we sometimes do use p*e pads and belly bands, he’s making great progress!

Chico has only had one leash walk so far, but he did well, and we’re confident he’ll continue to improve. He can be a bit chatty at times, especially when he’s in the mood for some attention, but once you scoop him up in your arms, he’s as content as can be. With his adorable face and sweet nature, he is impossible not to fall for. One look, one snuggle, and your heart will be his forever.

Chico is microchipped, neutered, and up to date on all relevant vaccinations.

If you are interested in adopting this adorable little guy, please fill out the application below.

⭐Available for Foster or Adoption⭐
Located near Belleville
Good with cats
Selective with dogs
Crate trained
House trained
Adoption fee $700

Scrappy is now seeking a loving foster home, a foster-to-adopt arrangement, or a forever adoptive home. He has spent the last 4 weeks in board and train at Black Hill Dog Company and has learned so much! He has a great foundation started and is looking for a home that will continue working with him and ensuring he turns into the great dog that he is. 😍

This sweet boy is very high energy and will need consistency and routine in his life. He is soooo intelligent and really likes to work. He is very eager to please people and learns things quickly.

Scrappy is looking for an adopter that knows how young Shepherds can be. An experienced home with a yard for him to run and an adopter that is willing to continue training is the best option for him.

A HUGE shoutout to Hill Dog Company for the absolutely fantastic work they have done with him! We are forever grateful for your work to help him become the amazing dog he is today! 💕

Scrappy is neutered, microchipped and up to date on relevant vaccines.

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

Meet Magnolia! This sweet sleddie girl came into care in September 2024 and, after months of love from her foster family, she’s ready for her forever home. She’s a mix of shyness, smarts, and energy. She may be cautious at first, but she’s quickly learning that fun is worth overcoming her fears.❤️

Her foster mom jokes that Magnolia moves like a deer, with perky ears and graceful, sp*edy runs. When she’s happy, she trots around in the cutest way, especially with her big brown doe eyes that could melt anyone’s heart.

Unfortunately, Magnolia didn’t get to enjoy puppyhood before, but she’s making up for it now! She’s full of energy, curiosity, and loves to zoom around. A big yard and playmates would be her dream come true.

She’s quickly becoming a great house pet and would thrive in a home with another dog to help guide her, though she’s open to a people-only home that offers patience and love.

Magnolia is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She’s good with dogs, cats, and kids (though she tends to avoid busy toddlers).

Ready to give Magnolia the loving home she deserves? Please fill out the application below-

Violet
⭐ Available for Adoption ⭐
10-month-old female, Spayed
In Foster Care Since: June 13, 2024
Good with: Dogs, Children, Chases cats
Location: London, Ontario
Adoption Fee: $700

Meet Violet, a beautiful blue-eyed Husky mix with a heart full of energy and affection. She is the perfect adventure companion—whether it's a walk around the block or a day outdoors. She’s working hard on her leash training and basic commands like "sit," especially when food is involved. She is also progressing well with potty training and will be fully trained with a bit more consistency.

Violet gets along wonderfully with her foster dog siblings of all sizes and breeds. While she may chase the cats at times, as a young pup, she’s learning to coexist peacefully. She loves playing with other dogs, kicking soccer balls, and chewing on her favorite toys.

Loyal and affectionate, Violet forms strong bonds with her humans and loves being by your side. She enjoys running alongside her foster mom and would be ideal for an active family or person. After a fun day, she’ll happily curl up for a cozy cuddle.
Though she’s not a fan of her crate yet, she’s making progress with crate training and will soon feel comfortable.

Violet is microchipped, spayed, and up to date on vaccinations.

Onyx
💕AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION💕
⭐ FIV Positive ⭐
Fostered in London, Ontario
2 Year old male (neutered)
In Care Since March 10, 2024
Adoption fee- $150

Meet Onyx, a loving and affectionate feline who thrives on attention and affection! This sweet boy adores cuddles and will happily soak up all the love you have to give. He is playful and gets along wonderfully with both cats and dogs, making him an ideal addition to any pet-friendly home. His love of food is unmatched, and he’s easily won over with a tasty treat or a full meal. Onyx is ready to be the perfect companion and bring joy to any household.

His past is one of neglect and hardship. He was rescued from a hoarding situation where he was living with 30-40 other cats, all of whom were injured, malnourished, and infested with parasites. Many of these cats were in poor condition, but Onyx was fortunate enough to be saved. When he arrived, he was covered in fleas, had a large wound on his back, and was suffering from a severe ear infection—but despite everything, he remained loving and affectionate.

After receiving medical care, including bloodwork, we discovered this boy is FIV positive. FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) is typically spread through deep bites between cats. He bears the scars of past fights, but he’s resilient and now healthy. FIV affects a cat’s immune system, which means that infections, such as gum disease or upper respiratory infections, can be more serious for FIV-positive cats. However, with proper care, he can lead a happy and fulfilling life.

Currently, Onyx is living in a foster home with both cats and dogs, and he does wonderfully with both. He would be best suited to a calm, established home with other friendly cats or as the only pet.

He is neutered, dewormed, and up to date on vaccinations.
If you’re interested in adopting Onyx, please complete the adoption application below.

Winter💕
⭐AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION⭐
1.5 year old male (neutered)
In Care Since: May 24, 2024
Fostered In: Dutton, Ontario
Adoption Fee: $700

Meet Winter! He’s one of our longest-term residents, having been in foster care for over 200 days. He is a young husky mix looking for a home that’s patient and willing to continue his in-home training. This boy is an energetic dog and needs an equally active home. He would be an amazing companion for someone who enjoys being outdoors and is searching for a loyal, high-energy partner. Whether for walking, running, or hiking, Winter will be an enthusiastic sidekick.

We rescued Winter just days before it was too late. When he first arrived, he was a bit of a handful—clearly lacking boundaries and basic training. After joining a board-and-train program, he made great progress and showed a real eagerness to learn. 📣(BONUS: his adoption fee includes a 1-on-1 training session at Doggy Discovery Zone for his new family to help him continue on the right path!)📣

Winter is highly intelligent and would thrive in a home where his training continues. He has a strong foundation, but some additional work is needed to help him reach his full potential. There may still be days where he gets into mischief, so a family that can provide structure, rules, and routine is essential. He does have a habit of counter surfing, so his new home will need to ensure food and other tempting items are kept out of reach.

He is friendly with dogs, cats, and children, and has been fostered in a home with all of them. He loves playing with daycare children and gets along well with other dogs. However, due to his high energy, smaller dogs might not be the best match. We recommend a home with older children or those who are familiar with dogs, as his excitement could unintentionally knock over younger kids.

Winter is house and crate trained. He goes into his crate every night, and sometimes even during the day when he needs a break. When you're not home or unable to supervise him, he should be crated to avoid any potential mischief.
He absolutely loves to chew and enjoys interactive toys that challenge his brain. Give him a puzzle treat mat or a Kong, and you'll watch him work to figure out how to get his reward!🐶

This sweet boy has a lot of love to give. He loves curling up on the couch with his people or his foster dog siblings, and his quirky personality is sure to bring joy to the right home. Winter is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
If you believe you can provide Winter with the loving home he deserves, please complete the adoption application below.
