SONNY is now JAX and is officially ADOPTED on his new mom’s birthday.
Thanks to Mae and Andrew for fostering.

It's official! Sonny ( now Jax) has become part of our family. In only just over one week, he has gone from extremely timid, hardly letting us near him to a curious, happy dog who follows us everywhere, loves family walks, enjoys cuddles on the sofa and exploring his new backyard. He has found all the good spots in the house to get comfy and loves watching the world go by from his big window. Rubbing against our legs ( like a cat), snuggles and that happy wagging tail when he greets us after a short absence is what brings a smile to our faces. We can't wait for longer walks in the warmer weather. Thanks Just Paws for rescuing this little guy and for matching him with our family. Thanks Mae and Andrew for fostering him and answering all our questions.

ZIGGY now BEA has been ADOPTED!

Thank you to Amanda and Angela for fostering .

In the short time Bea has been with us she’s already brought so much joy to our home. She’s a brave, curious and feisty little puppy who’s already a wonderful companion to our other dog Finn (a previous Just Paws adoptee!) They already adore each other, and if they’re not playing they’re curled up together on the same bed having nap. Bea is so incredibly sweet, we feel so lucky to have her in our lives and we’re so excited to watch her grow. 💕 Thanks so much to the team at Just Paws for all of the incredible work you do!

****Thank you for expressing interest in Davey. We have received many applications for him, so we will no longer be accepting. As the applications are being reviewed, if the foster believes your home would be a match we will be in contact with you. *****

Davey is looking for a forever family to spoil him with cuddles, care, and all the love he deserves. If you're ready to welcome this pint-sized sweetheart into your life, please apply today.

CHER was saved from a bullet and has found her forever family !
Thanks to Elyse and Marc for fostering.

Cher has found her forever home. She immediately attached to her new younger sister Gracie (another Just Paws alum) who has showed Cher all of the ins and outs of the house, the yard, and how to wrap mom and dad around their paws! In return Cher’s affectionate side has been rubbing off on Gracie. Thank you to Just Paws for both our girls.

MANGO now MIDGE has been ADOPTED!
Thank you to Debbie for fostering !

Midge has fit right into our family as if she was meant to be there all along. She's a sweet, scruffy little couch potato who loves being pet and will do her best to make sure you don't stop. But she's also quickly getting used to the cold weather and enjoying her time exploring and playing outside with her sister Myrna (our first rescue from Just Paws). We're so happy and grateful that we can give her the life of love and comfort she deserves, she's one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met.

Thank you so much to everyone at Just Paws - to Janice for your help and support, and Deb who fostered our girl before she came to us. It was such a great experience working with Just Paws again! It's nice to know that so many dogs are getting the best care and attention possible while they wait to be adopted.

🐾 Welcome Eva, Davey, Leiya, and Nova! 🐾

Today we welcomed these four beautiful dogs to the Just Paws family. Surrendered by a b breeder, some of them were used for breeding, but their lives are changing for the better starting today.
Eva, Davey, Leiya, and Nova will be fully vetted, groomed, and showered with love to prepare them for the bright futures they deserve. One thing we can promise: they will never be used for breeding again, nor will they have puppies sold online.
Once they’re ready, these sweethearts will be posted for adoption on our website. Stay tuned to witness their amazing transformations and follow their journeys to forever homes.
💖 Remember: Adopt, don’t shop! Every dog deserves a loving family and a life free from exploitation.
Thank you for your support in giving dogs like Eva, Davey, Leiya, and Nova a second chance.

PARDO’S journey to his forever home is nothing short of special. Found abandoned in a house in Mexico, he spent over two years waiting in safety with our dear friend Bety .Senior dogs like Pardo often face the hardest challenges finding homes, but his story is proof that hope and love can change everything.
This past holiday season, one of our amazing volunteers messaged us wanting to foster a dog to give them a special Christmas. Not just any dog , a senior dog. We knew immediately that Pardo deserved this chance, and he flew to us to begin a new chapter.
It didn’t take long for his foster mom to realize that Pardo was already home. She couldn’t bear the thought of letting him go, and she asked to adopt him!
To Pardo’s new mom, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for seeing his worth, giving him a chance, and providing him with the love and care every senior dog dreams of. You’ve given Pardo the best gift of all, a home to call his own .
Happy life, sweet Pardo! You’ve truly found your happy ending. ❤️

Perfect Pardo is home to stay!! Arrived just in time for Christmas and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect gift. This cuddly sweetheart has really warmed up to both myself & his brother Hamish. And has found his favourite spot is lounging on the couch in a ray of warm sunshine! We are besotted with him & I think he is happy as well 💕💫🤍🌙

Happy ADOPTION Day JAZZ now KARLY.
Thank you to Nicole for fostering.

The universe has a great way of making things come together! Our beloved 12 year old lab passed away 8 months ago, leaving a hole in our hearts & home. Our 6 year old Chocolate Lab, Owen, had never been an only dog his entire life We felt it was time to consider looking for a female pup & had only started talking about being ready over Christmas. I saw Jazz the 8 week old Lab mix on Facebook in my news feed, showed my husband Kris & we knew we had to put it out there & see what happens! We figured being a pup there would be huge demand & we probably were too late applying. 2 days later we got the call!! We answered questions & had a virtual home visit next day with Tamee, who answered all of our questions & walked us through the process. We got to meet Jazz a day later at her foster home. Her foster mom had already been working on crate training & potty training Jazz & her brother , to our astonishment she had already taught them to sit! We brought our Lab Owen for the meet too. We fell in love with Jazz instantly & brought her home. Just Paws let’s you keep the pup/dog for a week to see how they fit in, no pressure whatsoever. We knew instantly that Jazz was our forever pup & our teenage daughter renamed her Karly. At 10 weeks old now, Karly is sleeping through the night in her crate, learning to go outside for potty, can sit, come & spin. She plays with her brother Owen & they’re starting to cuddle & really bond. We couldn’t be happier with Karly & are so grateful to Just Paws Animal Rescue for making this an easy, enjoyable, stress-free process!!
Thank you!!
Melissa, Kris, Keira, Owen & Karly

Meet TILLIE (short for Matilda), a beautiful 9-year-old Miniature Schnauzer who is ready to spend her golden years in a loving forever home. Weighing about 17 pounds, Tillie has spent much of her life with a breeder, raising puppies. Now, it's her turn to be pampered and cherished. Love Schnauzers? Love (youthful) senior dogs? Love sweet dogs? Tillie is definitely your match.
This sweet girl is a bundle of love and loyalty. While she’s a bit shy at first, her gentle personality shines through as she bonds with her humans. She seems to particularly love men and has become her foster dad’s adorable shadow around the house!
What makes Tillie special? There are so many things! Tillie knows her manners and is fully housetrained. She is good with the other dogs in her foster home although not overly interested in playing with them yet (cats we are unsure but her gentle demeanour suggests she would be ok with dog savvy cats). She forms strong connections with her family, making her the perfect companion.
Tillie is still learning how to walk on a leash, so she will need a securely fenced yard where she can do her business and safely explore and stretch her legs while she learns how to navigate leash walking. Additionally, Tillie will need to be spayed as part of her transition to her new life of comfort and care. Her new family will have to be prepared to take her to one of our vets so this can be done at our expense.
Her ideal family will have patience as she continues to adjust to her new life and will shower her with love and security. Tillie would make a wonderful family member for a family who wants a snuggle buddy, and a sweet presence to enhance their home.
Are you ready to give this lovely lady the forever home she deserves? Apply for Tillie today and start your journey toward a lifetime of love and companionship.

Hi everyone, SONNY here and I wanted to update you! I’ve been adjusting so well in my foster home, and I’m ready to find my forever family! Just a reminder I’m a 3-year-old poodle-terrier mix with 26 pounds of love and sweetness. I’m being fostered in Waterloo.

So here’s what you should know about me: I’m a needy boy—in the best way! I adore cuddles and love pressing up against my favorite humans for affection. I’m happiest when I’m right by your side (or on your lap—I’m definitely a lapdog!).

I love my walks! As soon as my gear comes out, I get so excited to head outside and explore the world. I also don’t mind brushing at all—another chance for some attention, right?

I’ve been playing a lot with my furry foster sibling, Apple, and we’re having so much fun. I’m still a very quiet boy; I only bark when Apple does or when I see certain things out the window.

When it comes to my schedule, I do need potty breaks about every four hours, so a family with a flexible routine—maybe someone who works short shifts or half-days—would be perfect for me. Oh, and I absolutely love being picked up! My foster mom says I’m a bit heavier than Apple, but I don’t mind—more of me to love!

I’d do great in a home with another dog of the same size or smaller to follow and learn from, but I’d also be happy as the only pup in a patient, loving family who wouldn’t leave me alone too long and who can help me feel confident.

I’m ready to bring so much joy, cuddles, and companionship to my forever home. Could you be the one?

Meet CHIPI – The Sweetest Gentleman!

Chipi has recently arrived from the sunny streets of Mexico, rescued by a compassionate woman who dedicates her life to helping animals in need. At 10 years young, this charming poodle mix is living proof that age is just a number! Chipi is healthy, full of life, and has a delightful dash of s***k to match his gentle soul. His foster dad proudly says he’s such a good boy!

Since arriving in Canada, Chipi has settled in beautifully and continues to impress with his calm and loving demeanor. He is house-trained and has adjusted well to his new environment, including the chilly weather. Chipi sleeps soundly through the night and enjoys being petted—especially tummy rubs. He’s happiest when curled up on a warm lap, soaking in all the love he can get.

Chipi is a friendly and affectionate dog with a calm, quiet nature. He’s incredibly gentle, even when taking treats, and handled his vet visit like a pro. He enjoys a laid-back lifestyle and has low energy, making him an ideal match for a relaxed household. While he hasn’t been on many car rides yet, he’s done well so far, and he’s also comfortable on a leash.

This sweet gentleman has shown he can be left alone without issue and doesn’t bark excessively. He loves spending his time watching the world go by from a cozy window seat and exploring his surroundings. Chipi especially enjoys having access to a secure, fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and have a little fun outdoors.

Chipi would make the perfect companion for a retired person or couple looking for a loyal and loving friend. He’s ready to spend his golden years in comfort and luxury, bringing endless joy and affection to his forever family.

Are you the one to make Chipi’s dreams come true? Apply now through Just Paws and welcome this sweet gentleman into your heart and home.

Foster Location: Scarborough

Continued to stay tuned for more updates as we get to know this incredible dog!

Happy ADOPTION Day BEAR!

My experience with Just Paws has been so great. Tamee helped me find my fur baby and has been amazing to talk to and has provided suggestions for obedience training and crate training tips. The volunteers have been incredible. Everyone involved with the transportation and communication that day were terrific. Then Liana delivered the crates, food, toys, treats and always available if I have any questions or when I needed help. Anja was very pleasant during the tour of my house as well.
I have adopted a Lab/retriever mix (he appears to have sheppard in him as well). Bear is 9 weeks old and I fostered him for less than 2 weeks before I adopted him. He is such a darling and really smart. He is doing amazing with crate and potty training for his age. He is a cuddle bug and loves all people and the dogs he has met so far. Everyone falls in love with Bear as soon as they meet him. He loves to play and run after balls. Then takes much needed naps throughout the day. He is pretty much sleeping through the entire night now. He will be forever loved and live his best life here with me

Welcome SHILOH – Our First Rescue of 2025! 🌟
Just Paws Animal Rescue is proud to introduce Shiloh, a 7-year-old female poodle who is beginning her new journey with us. Shiloh was surrendered by her owner, who bravely made the difficult decision to place her in our care so she could receive the attention and treatment she needs.
Shiloh’s previous living situation was challenging—her home was infested with fleas for months, leaving her with balding spots likely due to flea allergies. She has no vetting history, so we’ll be starting from scratch to ensure she’s as healthy as can be.
When one of our amazing volunteer drivers picked her up today, she reported that Shiloh was the perfect passenger. Shiloh has also won over her foster mom with her sweet and loving personality! Tomorrow morning, she’ll be heading to the vet to begin her journey to health.

Here’s what’s on the agenda for Shiloh:
🐾 Treatment for flea-related allergies
🐾 Testing and removal of lumps
🐾 Dental care
🐾 Spaying
🐾 Vaccinations, microchip, blood work and basic health care
🐾 A healthy diet and lots of love

We are so grateful her previous owner chose to surrender her to a rescue, where Shiloh will have every medical need addressed before finding her forever home.
If you’d like to support Shiloh’s care—or help any of the dogs who will join us in 2025—we’d deeply appreciate your donation:

Hi there! I’m SONNY a male 3-year-old poodle-terrier mix weighing in at 26 pounds of pure love and sweetness! I’ve been ringing in the New Year with my foster family in the Waterloo area, and let me tell you—I’m ready to make 2025 my best year yet.

I’m a cuddle bug who loves scratches, pets, and snuggling up for cozy couch time—perfect for those chilly January evenings. When I’m not cozied up, I enjoy going for walks, or watching the world from the window as a quiet, observant gentleman.

Meal time is the highlight of my day, and liver treats? They’re my New Year’s resolution—more, please! Don’t worry, I’m super gentle when taking treats, so I’ll always be polite about it.

My 2025 vision board includes:
✨ Cozy cuddles with my family who won’t leave me alone for more than 4 hours at a time
✨ Daily walks (you’ll love my adorable waddle)
✨ A little playtime followed by a nice nap
✨ Being a “velcro dog” who stays by your side through all your resolutions

I’d also enjoy a home with another dog—especially an older, confident pup of my size or smaller to help me build my confidence. Patience, love, and understanding are all I need to shine!

Oh, and even though my hair is short now, I’ve got that poodle-terrier coat, so regular grooming will keep me looking my best for all our New Year’s adventures.

Could 2025 be our year together? Let’s make it happen— apply for me today because I can’t wait to meet you!
