Buzzy is a 12-year-old JRT? mix. His ancestry is not quite clear. He was found as a stray and no one claimed him. He was recently neutered and had dental surgery and is up-to-date on his vaccinations. He’s good with other dogs; cats are unknown. He’s happiest when he’s near people. Though he’s had limited experience with children, he would probably enjoy being around older ones as long as they’re respectful.

Buzzy likes going in the car and enjoys daily walks. He stays ahead of you but does not pull the leash. He’s curious and likes to sniff and explore. Since he’s had dental surgery, he’s showing more interest in toys. His favourite pastime is sitting next to you and take all the cuddles he can get. Left alone, he’ll curl up in his bed. He doesn’t know a lot of commands but he’s smart and eager to please. Since he was found as a stray, he can be protective of his food but he is learning to wait until told to go ahead.

He’s a friendly curious little fellow and would make a great companion for someone who is home most of the time. A back yard would be a bonus but not necessary as long as he can get in a few walks a day.
Buzzy is currently located in Ontario. If you’re interest in adopting him, please contact Joyce Clark at [email protected]

‼️ADOPTION OPPORTUNITY‼️(in Nanaimo)
Hi, I’m Poppy. I am looking for my forever home. Mom has 3 dogs and can only keep one. So here I am. I’m cute as a button. I am a female, 6 year old Chihuahua Mini Pincer. I weigh about 17 pounds. My mom adopted me from Mexico. She saved me. I am up to date with my shots and I have been spayed. I am house trained and will look at you when I need to go out. I may bark at large dogs, but once we meet all is good. I can pull on my leash to chase cats and squirrels. I’m not sure how I would be around cats. I would like a home where I am the Queen and there is only me. I’m afraid of kids, so would like a home without them.

I sleep in my crate but love to cuddle in bed with my mom as well. I am also good when left alone. I like to walk and a couple of times per day would be great but once will work. I am a little nervous around loud noises, specifically the vacuum and may shake a bit. I really don’t like getting my nails clipped. I need to be muzzled for that job. I do like my baths though.

Car rides are fun. I’m good with that. I don’t like to be picked up. It makes me nervous but I love to be patted. Although I don’t like to be picked up, I will get up beside you and cuddle at any time. I want to be loved and adored. I would be a happy girl with the right person.

If you’d like to give me a forever home, please contact Debbie Kandert, Rehoming Coordinator, Nanaimo-Oceanside, at [email protected].

Volunteering with ElderDog is a great way to meet new people AND their dogs all while giving back to the community.

“ElderDog Canada gives me the opportunity to interact with both dogs and humans...what a great combination!

We don't have a pet of our own so we love to be able to get our dog "fix". As an added benefit we also get to meet some lovely seniors in our community. Clients are so appreciative of the ElderDog volunteers as it allows them to keep their furry friends with them as long as possible.”
