UPDATE HOMER HAS BEEN ADOPTED

🐾 Meet Homer – Your New Best Friend Who Loves to Play and Cuddle! 🐾

Say hello to Homer, a adorable mix of Shiba Inu and Mini Australian Shepherd! Imagine a shorter, fluffier Air Bud with endless energy and a heart full of love. Homer is a goofy, loyal pup who’s happiest chasing after his favorite ball — and he’ll do it for hours! After all that fun, he’s just as happy to snuggle up and enjoy some cozy cuddle time with you.

Homer is looking for a new home through no fault of his own. As he’s grown, he’s developed a bit of a fear around children and sudden movements, likely because of his herding instincts from his Aussie side. He might nip if he gets overstimulated, so he would thrive best in a calm, kid-free environment with a large, secure yard where he can run, play, and relax safely.

Homer dreams of a life outside the city — somewhere with space to roam and be himself. If you have a loving, patient heart and a yard to match, Homer could be the perfect addition to your family. He’s looking for a forever home where he can share love, fun, and lots of fetch!

Gigi is a gentle soul who loves nothing more than snuggling up in a cozy spot and soaking up all the love you have to give. She’s the perfect calm companion for a quiet home, always ready to be your loyal sidekick while you work, relax, or enjoy a peaceful walk.

Gigi is a true sweetheart with the people she knows — affectionate, calm, and endlessly loyal. She’s happiest when she can spend her days lounging by your side, making every moment together special. While she’s ok with most other dogs, she prefers her own space and would really thrive as your one-and-only furry friend. She loves exploring quiet forests, open fields, and wide trails — dog parks aren’t her thing, but she’s all about those peaceful adventures!

Gigi is being rehomed with a heavy heart because her current owner loves her dearly but knows she needs more room to run and more tranquility than city life can offer. She’s dreaming of a loving, calm home in the countryside or suburbs where she can feel safe, relaxed, and truly herself.

If you have a loving heart, a cozy space, and patience to give Gigi the forever home she deserves, she’s ready to meet you! Could you be the one to give her the love and freedom she’s been longing for? 💖🐶

Gray is a gentle soul who can be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, he’s the most affectionate and cuddly companion you could ask for. He's a big fan of snuggling and loves to be close — perfect for cozy nights on the couch! 🥰

He’s a sensitive pup who prefers a calm, secure environment and would do best in a home with gentle, patient owners who understand his shy nature. He’s energetic and insecure around other dogs but can be socialized with proper introduction and positive experiences. He loves my personal doggie.

On Sunday, April 27th, 2025, at 10:30 AM, my deep love for animals almost put me in a life-threatening situation. I was driving down Highway 507 back to Toronto, with two trucks ahead of me. The first truck was moving at around the speed limit of 80 km/h, maybe a little slower. The second truck, which was ahead of me, decided to pass the first truck. As he began to do so, a family of deer suddenly ran out onto the road, right into the space he had just left — directly in front of me.

I had to swerve to avoid the deer family, and I decided to continue and pass the 1st truck with the second truck. Honestly, that was a bad decision on my part. Now I was behind the second truck, with no clear view ahead — only the backs of the two trucks. When the second truck completed his pass and moved back into the lane in front of the first, I found myself head-on with an SUV, with nowhere to go.

I was immediately boxed in: the first truck to my right, and the SUV directly ahead, on a two-lane highway surrounded by lakes, rocks, and forest. With no options left, I decided to swerve left to miss the oncoming SUV. I plunged into a wet, muddy ditch and slid about 60 yards into a large driveway culvert.

When my car hit the culvert, four things happened simultaneously: literally the blink of an eye or less it felt like

1. My car went airborne over the driveway, feeling weightless as if there was zero gravity — everything inside was floating.

2. All the airbags deployed at once, creating a loud explosion that temporarily deafened me. I couldn't hear anything not even a ringing it was almost peaceful.

3.The airbags covered all the windows, plunging my car into complete darkness.

4. My life flashed before my eyes — I honestly thought I was dead, and I was waiting to see what would happen next.

Then, my car hit the ground and the chaos began again, I flipped three to four times, finally landing upside down on its roof. Inside whilehanging upsidedown, I wondered whether I was in water or if the car was on fire. Every fiber of my body, mine and my soul was desperate to get out of my car so i got myself out and waited for the emergency responders to arrive.

I’m very thankful I didn’t hit the deer family, but even more grateful that I didn’t hit the SUV afterward, which turned out to be a man, his wife, and their one-year-old baby girl.

This was truly an eye-opening event. My car was the only thing that didn’t make it. Still, I am grateful that neither the deer family nor the human family involved were hurt.

UPDATE LOOKING TO DO THIS TRAINING ON THE LAST SATURDAY, SO THE 29TH OF THIS MONTH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU CAN MAKE IT.

Help Needed: Volunteers for Aggressive Dog Rehabilitation!

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out for assistance with a special dog named TomTom, who has faced a difficult past stemming from a domestic abuse background. TomTom is currently exhibiting aggressive behaviors, particularly guarding and a strong intention to bite. This is not fear-based aggression; he genuinely wants to inflict harm. However, I believe that with the right approach and support, we can help him become more sociable and ultimately find a loving home.

I need dedicated volunteers to help me work with TomTom. It’s important to understand that traditional positive reinforcement methods (R+) are not effective for his specific behavior. Instead, we need to explore balanced training techniques to help him learn to trust people and reduce his aggressive tendencies.

What We Need:
Volunteers to come in and help with socialization efforts.
Please wear thick clothing for protection, as the process may involve some challenging interactions.

Controlled Exposure:
Gradually introduce TomTom to new people in a controlled environment to minimize stress and aggression triggers.

Desensitization:
Use gradual exposure to stimuli that trigger his aggression, rewarding calm behavior over time.

Counter-Conditioning:
Change his emotional response to people by pairing their presence with high-value treats (while being cautious of his reactions).

Structured Social Interactions:
Organize short and controlled meetings with calm and confident individuals who can handle the situation.

Safe Space Protocol:
Allow TomTom to retreat to a safe space when overwhelmed, ensuring he feels secure and reducing aggressive outbursts.

Positive Reinforcement for Calmness:
Reward TomTom for calm behavior around people, reinforcing the idea that they are not a threat.

If you’re interested in volunteer and helping TomTom please let me know.

I even welcome other dog trainer with experience in aggressive behavior,

please contact me. Your support could make a significant difference in his life and help him on the path to rehabilitation and adoption.

Thank you for considering this important cause!

UPDATE SHE'S WITH DOG TAILS SACTUARY
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP

I'm just helping this lady find her dog a new home she's 11 years old so senior dog I do not have this dog in my care. All the dog rescues are full and so am i.

I can put you in contact with the owner to discuss.

URGENT: Looking for a Home for My Dog
Hi everyone, I’m in a heartbreaking situation and desperately trying to rehome my very loved 11-year-old dog before Thursday to avoid euthanasia. She is a healthy, well-mannered dog with an amazing personality..she absolutely loves hiking, swimming, and being around people. I've had her since she was 7 weeks old. She’s incredibly friendly, great with kids, and good with older and large dogs. However, she isn’t a fan of small, hyperactive, yappy dogs or cats.

I lost my job in July and have been searching for work ever since. I had planned to move to the U.S. with her, but I was turned back at the border on February 28. After giving up my home on March 1, I’m now in between homes and unable to afford or house her. I have reached out to countless rescues and shelters, but due to her age, I keep being told she has a low chance of adoption. Toronto Animal Services said that if I surrender her, they will take her inside immediately and euthanize her, and I wouldn’t even be allowed to be with her in her final moments. That is not a choice I want to make.

She still has so much love to give, and I truly believe she deserves a chance. If anyone can foster, adopt, or connect me with a rescue that might be able to help, please reach out as soon as possible. I just want to find a way to save her. 💔
