🐾 Meet Handsome and Sweet Teddy 🐾
Teddy is being fostered in Markham.
Teddy has recently joined the Just Paws family and is settling beautifully into his foster home. He came to us as an owner surrender due to life changes, through no fault of his own. His previous family loved him very much but could no longer give him the time and attention he truly deserves. Now, Teddy is ready for a fresh start and a forever family to call his own.
Teddy is a handsome Goldendoodle, approximately 35-40 lbs (to be verified at his vet appointment) and 7 months old (born June 12, 2025). He is a happy, friendly, and affectionate puppy who absolutely adores people and other dogs.
Being a young pup, Teddy has lots of energy and will need regular exercise. He enjoys his walks and does very well on leash, but he is not a candidate for off-leash activities. A secure, fenced-in yard is required so he can safely run, play, and burn off his puppy energy. For this reason, condo living is not suitable for Teddy.
Teddy would thrive in a home with another playful dog to keep him company. In his foster home, he lives with two foster siblings and gets along wonderfully with them. He truly enjoys canine companionship.
This smart boy is fully housetrained and even rings a bell when he needs to go outside! His previous owner enrolled him in PetSmart puppy training, where he learned commands such as sit, stand, come, lay down, and wait. Teddy is eager to please and food-motivated—he loves his meals and treats!
Teddy’s foster family absolutely adore him. They report that he has never met a dog or person he doesn’t like—he is genuinely friendly, social, and always thrilled to meet new people. He will make an amazing family dog and is expected to do very well with children.
Teddy is not crate trained and would not do well confined in one. However, this is not a concern as he is not destructive. He happily sleeps through the night cuddled up with his humans.
Teddy is scheduled to see our vet and will be neutered. He will not be available for adoption until after January 20, and while applications are welcome now, they will not be reviewed until after his neuter.
If you believe you can offer Teddy a loving forever home—one where he won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love—please consider applying for him. Teddy is truly special, and you won’t be disappointed welcoming this joyful boy into your family. 💛

Angel is now Arlo and is ADOPTED!

Thanks to Andrea and Jason for fostering!

Thank you so much for trusting us with Angel—now proudly renamed Arlo. From the moment he came home, he fit seamlessly into our family, as if he had always belonged here.

Arlo and our dog Archie have quickly become best friends. They cuddle constantly, play outside together, and I honestly can’t tell who needs whom more at this point. It’s been pure joy having a dog on each side of me—whether in bed or while watching TV. The cuddling alone has been worth everything.

We’ve already shared many walks together, and it’s absolutely heartwarming to watch Arlo follow Archie everywhere—through snow, rain, and all around the backyard, which Arlo is clearly loving. This entire experience has been fantastic, full of laughter, love, and so much fun.

Thank you for the incredible work you do and for bringing Arlo into our lives. We’re so grateful.

Happy ADOPTION Day ROCKY!
Thank you to Stephanie and Norm for fostering !

Through a sad turn of events, we had the opportunity to welcome Rocky into our family over the Christmas holidays. Rocky has had so much change over the past month, but he is now a settling in to a life full of love and affection. His cute personality and his need to snuggle is emerging more every day. His favourite spot is by the window, watching people and dogs pass by, usually with his new brother by his side. He sleeps each night in our bed, cuddled in by the pillows and will only wake when we are ready to start our day. We wanted a senior who was similar in age to Chewy, and Rocky is a delightful cuddle muffin and perfect addition to our family. Just Paws has been such a wonderful rescue to work with. It was a very thorough process, but everyone along the way was so helpful and kind. A special thank you to Tamee, who had to navigate through this unusual situation and to Rocky’s foster family that took great care of him. We are so happy that we had the opportunity to welcome Rocky into our life, and we are looking forward to many adventures ahead.

Abbey — who so many of you generously helped — is now ready to begin her next chapter: finding her forever retirement home. 💕
At 13 years young, Abbey still has plenty of sass and personality. She isn’t shy about letting you know how she feels, whether she’s asking for a snack, requesting a cozy lap, wanting a furry friend nearby, or simply letting you know she needs her own space.
Abbey is a happy, easy-going senior gal who has healed beautifully after having that massive bladder stone removed and is feeling so much better. She truly loves being with her person and would thrive with a retired individual or couple who can enjoy her gentle companionship.
She may have the occasional little “widdle” in the house, likely related to her recent surgery, but with frequent outdoor breaks she does just fine — and time may very well resolve this completely.
At night, Abbey’s favourite place is right beside you. She finds her perfect sleeping spot, settles in, and doesn’t move until you’re ready to start the day.
If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion to share your couch, your bed, and your heart, Abbey might just be your girl.

LUCAS is an 11-year-young gentleman with the soft curls of a poodle, the wisdom of a schnauzer, and just a dash of Yorkie charm. At around 15 lbs, he’s perfectly lap-sized — which is ideal, because that’s exactly where he loves to be. Lucas is being fostered in Toronto.

Lucas spent nearly a decade as a deeply loved family dog. As life changed and babies and toddlers children entered the picture, it became clear that the unpredictability of very young kids were simply too much for this senior. With heavy hearts, his family made the decision to surrender him so he could find the calm, toddler-free home he truly needs.

Now in foster care, Lucas is calm and happy. He lives well with other dogs (cats unknown) and loves his foster family and everyone he meets. Lucas is sweet, gentle, and endlessly devoted to his people. He’ll happily follow you from room to room, and just be with you. Put a coat on him and he might show a little “spice,” but honestly — who doesn’t have opinions at 11?

Lucas loves leisurely strolls, the occasional run in the yard and splaying with stuffed toys (the squeakier the better)! He’s fully housetrained and sleeps beautifully through the night in his dog bed (or on your bed).

For his age, Lucas is in great health. He may have some mild hearing loss, which makes predictable environments especially important — and also makes him all the more deserving of patience and understanding. Lucas does bark a little (to let you know he wants something) but is generally a quiet guy.

We know some people wonder why anyone would adopt an 11 year old dog like Lucas. We say, why wouldn’t everyone want to? Senior dogs know how to love deeply. They’re grateful beyond words. They don’t need chaos — just kindness, consistency, and a soft place to land. Lucas isn’t looking for a party. He’s looking for you — someone who wants a loyal shadow, a warm lap buddy, and a best friend for life.

If your heart has room for a gentle senior who will make every moment sweeter, Lucas just might be your perfect match.

Happy ADOPTION Day BECKY!
Thank you to Debbie for fostering !!

We owe so much gratitude to Just Paws for finding us our second beloved pup. We adopted our first pup Jaxx from Just Paws in 2018 and had 7-1/2 wonderful years with him until he crossed the rainbow bridge in October 2025. After only a few weeks I felt we could open our hearts and home to another pup in need so I started keeping an eye on Just Paws adoptables. Bexx (Becky) was our second application submitted but once we met her we knew she was the one. Although she was very nervous and timid at first we let her take her time to settle in and become familiar with us. She very quickly has become a part of our family. Already we can't imagine our lives without her. She is learning how to play with toys and my grand-puppy Leo. She loves being out in our backyard to chase squirrels and birds. Thank you so much to Debbie for fostering!!

🐾 Welcome Bridget to Just Paws Animal Rescue 🐾

Please help us welcome Bridget, an adorable 8week old Cockapoo, to the Just Paws family.

Sadly, it seems that every first week of the new year we are contacted about “Christmas puppies.” While puppies are cute and exciting, dogs are not a good idea as a Christmas gift. A puppy is a long term commitment that requires time, patience, training, consistency, and financial responsibility.

Bridget is now safe with us, and we are committed to helping her find a loving, forever family who truly understands what it means to raise a puppy.

We are now accepting applications. Due to the high volume of interest, only applicants we feel are the right match will be contacted. We kindly ask for your understanding.

Many of you reach out to ask if we received your application. If you received a confirmation email from us, then yes—we did receive it. Please be sure to check your junk or spam folder as well. If you have that confirmation, there is no need to follow up, and we truly appreciate your patience as our volunteers carefully review each application.

Thank you for supporting rescue and for helping us find the very best home for sweet Bridget.

Thank you to Karen and her family for fostering !

Fozzy has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is quite honestly the cutest dog I have ever seen and looks like a puppy, even though he is full grown! Fozzy is settling in well; he is learning our routines, house trained and sleeping in his 'bed' at night and getting along with his new housemates. He is full of energy, loves treats and belly rubs and LOVES his long evening walks. We are thankful to Just Paws for helping bring Fozzy into our family!

Say hello to Louie — a 5-year-old, 20-lb Cavalier mix currently being fostered in Waterloo and on the lookout for his forever best friend. Louie is a certified Velcro dog who believes personal space is overrated and that life is simply better when he’s following his favourite human from room to room.

Louie is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and instantly charming with everyone he meets. He’s a quiet, well-behaved guy who can stay home for a few hours, though he’ll be counting the minutes until his people return. A true snuggle bug, Louie’s ideal day includes as much cuddling as possible, and he’d likely adore a home with older kids who are eager to give him endless love and attention.

While Louie gets along well with other dogs, he’d be happiest in a calmer household where he can soak up most of the spotlight. He did live with a cat for a short time and managed just fine, though he did chase a bit, so any kitty roommate would need to be dog-savvy. When it’s time to settle in for the night, Louie sleeps soundly in his crate.

Louie’s hobbies include fetching balls, gleefully wrestling with stuffed toys (and occasionally destroying them), and enjoying a couple of short daily walks. He has a mid activity level and prefers easy living — stairs aren’t his favourite, so a one-level home or condo with an elevator would be perfect - unless you are ok to carry him if needed. If you’re dreaming of a loyal shadow, professional cuddler, and gentle companion who just wants to love and be loved, Louie might be the one you’ve been waiting for.
