Breeze | Shih-Tzu Poodle (Shih-poo) Mix | 12 years old | Male | 15 lbs

Breeze is a charming and gentle soul with a heart full of love. At 12 years old, Breeze is looking for a new forever home after his owner moved into long-term care.

Breeze is affectionate, adaptable, and friendly. His gentle demeanour means he’s great with children, and he thrives in the company of people and other dogs. His calm demeanour makes him a pleasant companion at home.

Breeze loves his daily walks—exploring the neighbourhood and sniffing new sights and smells. He’s also a champion snuggler who enjoys cozying up on the couch for quality downtime. Whether it’s playtime or nap time, Breeze is content as long as he’s by your side.

Breeze is up-to-date on his core vaccines (dh2pp, Rabies), neutered, and microchipped. He is fully housebroken and crate-trained, making him an easygoing housemate. Breeze knows all basic commands and responds well, so he’s ready to follow your lead!

Breeze gets along well with other dogs, making him a great candidate for multi-pet households. While he has no prior exposure to cats, his gentle nature suggests he could adapt with the proper introductions.
Typically quiet, Breeze may bark occasionally when he’s excited or hears unfamiliar noises.

Breeze walks beautifully on a leash—he’s easygoing and doesn’t pull, making walks a relaxing experience for both of you. He travels well in the car and enjoys adventures with his human.

Breeze would thrive in a loving home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by warmth and affection. He’s well-suited for apartment or house living, having lived in the city. If you’re looking for a sweet companion to share cuddles, leisurely walks, and loving moments with, Breeze is your guy!

If you think Breeze could be the perfect addition to your family, complete an application at covetedcanines.org/application. (http://covetedcanines.org/application)

McFly | American Bully mix | 4 years | Male | 60 lbs

Meet handsome McFly, named after Marty McFly from “Back to the Future.” McFly is looking for his future forever home!

McFly is your typical bully mix, full of beans and super sweet with his people. McFly loves to be outdoors and would be best with an active family. He would be a great hiking buddy! He loves car rides and makes a great companion when out and about.

McFly is one smart cookie! He already knows a few commands and takes his treats gently. He is crate-trained. He is still learning leash manners, as he can pull, but would likely respond well to consistent positive reinforcement training. He sometimes barks when playing.

Initially, McFly was fearful but has improved with time and become less so. He showed some reactivity toward other dogs when they barked and lunged at him! He has done better around more neutral dogs. He can be a bit wary of strangers and new people. He would benefit from a home that would help build his confidence.

We know that McFly will flourish into a truly fantastic dog with the right family! If McFly sounds like the perfect fit for you, please apply: covetedcanines.org/application (http://covetedcanines.org/application)

Cha Cha | Rabbit - Lionhead | Adult | Female - Spayed

Meet Cha Cha! This gorgeous bunny is sure to dance her way into your heart with her beautiful mane, larger than life personality and silly antics.

Cha Cha is a curious and social bun. She is very energetic and ready to explore. Cha Cha is a little adventurer and always on the go, so she must have the space to use up her energy. Cha Cha is a smart and inquisitive bunny. She is a busy little bee but does eventually tire. When she is tired, Cha Cha will flop down and enjoy some cuddles. She is good about being pet and cuddled but is not the biggest fan of being held and will let you know.

Cha Cha has a big personality and is very outgoing. She is a social gal and will approach anyone. She is not a timid rabbit and is instead a very brave bunny. She doesn’t hide and isn’t spooked when checking out new spaces. Cha Cha can be a sassy gal as she prefers things to be on her terms. But with those luscious locks, how can she help but not be a little bit of a diva?

Her favourite things are a comfy bed and a cardboard box that she loves to play with, hide in and nibble on. She also loves to lay on top of the air conditioning vent all day, enjoying air blowing in her face. Cha Cha is also an interior designer. She loves to redecorate her pen and chew on things. However, she’s been good about not chewing when out and about. She hasn’t tried chewing on baseboards, carpets or wires in her foster home. Cha Cha is also learning to use a litter box, though she still has some occasional accidents.

Cha Cha would do best in an adult-only experienced rabbit home. She would thrive in a household without other pets as well as a home that will keep her as a free roam bunny so she can explore and exercise to her heart’s content!

Cha Cha is spayed, microchipped and vaccinated against RHD. Her adoption fee is $40.

If Cha Cha’s gorgeous looks and big personality have won you over, please contact [email protected] for more information on adopting Cha Cha or fill out a Creatures Adoption Application on our website: covetedcanines.org/creaturesapplication

We mourn the passing of Cindy Cherry, a remarkable soul who dedicated her life to the welfare of animals. 💔 As the driving force behind the Don Cherry Pet Foundation, she touched the lives of countless animals and humans alike. Cindy’s passion for animal advocacy knew no bounds, and her impact on the animal rescue and care world was immeasurable.

Cindy’s generous spirit extended beyond words, as evidenced by her kind donation to our sanctuary. Through her support, she enabled the rescue and care of two beautiful goats, whom we proudly named Cindy and Don Carlos in her honour.

As we mourn her loss, let us also celebrate her profound impact on the world around her. Cindy’s legacy will live on through the animals whose lives she touched and the people she inspired.

Thank you to Global Pet Foods at 2019 Yonge St for your generous donations to keep our furry rescues and farm sanctuary animals fed. We couldn’t do it without your support. And we appreciate it very much! ❤️💯

We’ve got BIG news! We are overjoyed to share that Dottie and her daughter Daisy are now adopted!!! Just in time for Mother’s Day 💕 Many of you followed, liked, and shared our attempts to find them a fur-ever-loving home, and it’s happened!

When their human dad passed away unexpectedly, the family faced the daunting task of finding a new home for this precious duo. Despite their best efforts, they could not secure a suitable place for Dottie and Daisy. That’s when they reached out to us, and together, we set out to find them a loving foster home, and a fantastic family stepped up. The parents of the deceased man generously covered the vet costs in foster care with help from us, and the generosity of the fosters as well, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to these beloved pets.

As the cost of pet care soared, finding an adopter willing to take on Dottie’s medical needs seemed impossible. We thought that Dottie and Daisy would need to be separated to be adopted, a heartbreaking prospect for all. However, the incredible foster parents, touched by the deep bond between Dottie and Daisy, chose to adopt the duo, ensuring they could stay together forever!

A heartfelt “Dog bless” to everyone who helped in their journey. Especially to their foster family, now their forever family!!! THANK YOU💕 🐾

Meet Francis! Mini poodle | 10 years | male | 2.3 kg

He is a social little pup and loves to be with his people. He is a fantastic work buddy and currently goes to work every day with his foster and does very well sitting on their lap during daily TTC rides. Francis has no problem with the busy streets of Toronto. Francis enjoys going for multiple short-medium walks throughout the day.

Francis adores his people. He always looks for a way to be involved with his family and follows his foster parents everywhere. If you remove your hand while petting him, he will try to nudge it back onto his head. Francis would likely do best as the only pet in his forever home (even though he is good with other animals) and a home without young children.

His foster parents describe him as generally well-behaved. However, Francis would likely benefit from learning some basic obedience cues as he doesn’t know any. He is mostly housebroken and doesn’t p**p in the house.

Francis is very interested in other dogs and generally behaves himself around them. Since he was only recently neutered, he was known to try and hump other dogs. As Francis was an intact male for most of his life, he displays some marking behaviour. Since he has only been neutered for a couple of months, this behaviour may change with time.

Francis has shown separation anxiety in his foster home, and we highly recommend that Francis’ adopters work with a positive reinforcement-based trainer to help work on setting him into his new home. His fosters can leave him for short periods, but he would not do well being left alone for a workday or extended periods as part of his routine. We are looking for a home with someone who works from home or can take him to work with them regularly. As he can be vocal when separated from his people, those who live in condos, apartments or other dwellings where noise may be an issue should not apply.

This adorable boy is looking for someone to love him just as much as he will love them. This boy truly adores his people! If you think this might be you, please fill out a Canine Adoption Application on our website www.covetedcanines.org/adoptables

Sable - Grey Collar | Hungarian Doberman | 10 weeks old | Female | 8 lbs | Owner Surrender

*Looking for a foster to adopt until spayed and fully vaccinated:)

Temperament: Lively, energetic, playful and mischievous.
Activity Level: High puppy energy.
Vetting: Core vaccines (dhpp, needs boosters along with rabies and bordetella vaccine). Needs to be spayed, microchipped, dewormed, f***l - pending, on tick/heartworm and flea prevention. All this will be completed while in the foster to adopt.
Housebroken: Working on it!
Good with Dogs:Yes!
Good with Cats: Not tested.
Good with Children: Yes!
Any noted prey drive: Very interested in prey animals like squirrels.
How do they respond to the outdoors: Loves it!
Crate-Trained: Working on it!
How do they respond to commands: Sable is responding well to learning commands and is eager to please.
Are they vocal: Typically puppy noises, we cannot be certain of his vocal levels as she matures.
Leash Etiquette: Still learning how to walk on leash.
Transportation: Great in the car. Not tested on public transit.
*Sable’s bio may change as we get to know her better.
*Comes with 6 weeks of pet insurance totalling $500 and 2 free online taped training classes.
*Due to the number of applications we have been receiving, our team is only able to respond to applicants that will be moving forward as we are an entirely volunteer-run organization.
*We are only looking to adopt Sable to an experienced owner and a commitment to hiring a trainer is mandatory. Also, we will not allow any altering of ears or tails.

Sable is another dynamic and highly intelligent female in this litter. She is so brilliant that she will need an experienced owner that has the passion and drive to train her so she is her best self.

Sable’s forever home needs to be prepared for all that entails with raising a highly intelligent puppy. She will need an adopter willing to stimulate her mind as well as continuing to build her confidence with training, especially outside the home where she is a bit timid of busy streets.

This gal is not yet housetrained but has learned how to use p*e pads along with doing her business outside. Adopters should be prepared to puppy proof their home as Sable is in her chewing stage with teething

A household where someone who is home more often than not, at least at the start, to help ease her into learning to be left on her own would be ideal.

Sable loves other dogs and would love to have a doggie sibling in her forever home! They should be a well balanced pup that is up for playtime and can show her the ropes.

Sable will surely be a ray of sunshine for her new family! All the work put into helping her grow into the best dog she can be, will be rewarded two-fold with oodles of love. Sable is looking for a foster-to-adopt home, where she will be fostered, with the commitment to adopt, until her spay and other vetting is completed and then she will be officially adopted by her FTA family.

If Sable sounds like the girl for you, please fill out an application at: covetedcanines.org/application

On March 21, 2022, Linda McLachlan lost her beloved Nani, a female Malamute, to a congenital heart murmur she experienced suddenly while at home. Despite the heart condition she was born with, Nani lived a life of great outdoor adventure, and unlimited affection and spoiling from Linda. Nani also accepted adoration from all who met her, as everyone fell for her charms: she was curious, bossy, often assertive, sweet and expressed herself vocally as do most Malamutes. She will be sorely missed, and loved and cherished forever in our hearts as she crosses the Rainbow Bridge. A donation has been made to Coveted Canines in memory of sweet Nani to help rescue other furbabies in her honour. We wish Linda strength during this very difficult time. #RestInLove #RestInPower #Malamute #RainbowBridge
