Lady | Female | 6 Years | Boxer Mix | 52.4 lbs | Spayed | Good with Dogs, Kids | Microchipped | UTD - Vaccines

Meet Lady, the sweetest soul you’ll ever encounter! This charming girl is the definition of gentle and sweet. She’s wonderfully polite, naturally obedient, and would make the perfect addition to any family.

Lady is amazing with children and other dogs, bringing a calm yet playful energy that lights up any room. One of her adorable quirks? She does a gentle “cobbing” nibble, a puppy-like behavior that shows how safe and happy she feels—just one of the many ways she expresses her love. Lady is also a belly rub enthusiast, often rolling over with a big smile, inviting anyone nearby to give her some belly rubs!

She enjoys toys, often tossing them in the air and delighting in playtime. Lady is fantastic on walks; she starts with a little excitement but soon settles in, happy to walk by your side. This lovely lady has also developed quite an appetite and is sporting a healthy, slightly “plump” look these days—she’s earned every ounce of happiness and love!

Ready to adopt Lady? She’s a sweetheart who’s sure to bring endless joy, affection, and companionship into your life.

Meet Mimi! This happy, spunky, and sweet pup is full of love and personality. Mimi is always ready to play and gets along wonderfully with dogs, especially the large, resident dog in her foster home. She’s the perfect companion for an active household and would thrive with another dog in the home to snuggle up to and play with.

Mimi is also a mange survivor who has shown incredible strength and resilience. While she is no longer affected by it, she’s still on the mend and will need a loving family to continue giving her the care and patience she deserves as she blossoms into her best self.

Mimi is a quick learner—she already knows to race to the kitchen when treats are involved! She enjoys her walks, loves to explore, and is always eager for a little adventure. This smart girl picks up on routines fast and is excited to meet every family member, greeting them with a wagging tail and happy energy.

Mimi is also good with cats and has learned to respect their space after some initial curiosity. She’s fantastic with kids and loves being part of the action, whether it’s playtime or cuddle time.

🌸 Meet Lily Flower and Lady, two beautiful souls who have recently joined the Backstreet Paws Rescue family. Just last week, they were freed from the unimaginable horrors of a puppy mill in Ontario, where they spent five heartbreaking years confined to a dark, cold barn. For half a decade, these sweet girls were treated as nothing more than breeding machines.

Lady, with her gentle spirit, is already beginning to embrace her new life. She’s discovering the simple joys of sunshine on her face and the soft touch of a loving hand. Lily Flower, on the other hand, has a longer journey ahead. When our volunteers first picked her up, this poor girl cowered and screamed in terror a heart-wrenching reaction to a lifetime of fear and neglect.

Puppy mills are places of unimaginable cruelty, and they must be stopped. Dogs in these facilities (normally dark cold barns) endure endless suffering, crammed into tiny cages and bred over and over again for profit. Mother dogs are pushed far beyond their physical limits, and when their bodies can no longer take it, they’re abandoned, discarded, or worse. Meanwhile, their puppies are sold online, at flea markets, and in pet stores, fueling this tragic cycle of exploitation.

It’s almost too painful to imagine Lily Flower and Lady spending five years like this, isolated, forgotten, and starved of even the smallest kindness.

Now, these girls are finally safe. They’ve been seen by our vet and are on the path to healing. However, their journey is far from over. Both will need to be spayed, and tragically but not surprisingly they also require extensive dental work. Canine dental procedures are incredibly costly, and for these two, an estimate cost for spay , vaccines and Dental $6,000 +.

This is where we need your help. Every single donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Together, we can give Lily Flower and Lady the care they desperately need and, most importantly, show them the love and compassion they have always deserved.

Please, if you’re able, consider donating today. Let’s rewrite their story from one of pain to one of hope and healing.
