Do you know what coyotes are up to in the winter?

You may see more coyotes around during the winter months, but that’s not because they have multiplied. You can just see more coyotes without the lush foliage that the other seasons provide for their shelter. As well, it’s mating season! We all love to see baby animals in the spring and this is when mating season happens, between January and March. This makes coyotes more active and visible in our neighbourhoods.

Want to know more about coyotes in Toronto? You can read more and take our eLearning module at toronto.ca/coyotes

🐾 Looking for my Forever Home 🐾

Hi all you doggie lovers, my name is Angus. You can see by my picture that I’m a pretty cute 11 year old German ShortHaired Pointer. My coat is smooth and shiny and I am in excellent shape. Also, my teeth are pearly white.
My life has been wonderful with my Mom and Dad but now I need someone to Adopt me and give me a new start on a comfortable, loving retirement..
A fenced yard is important because I like to explore; I’m a Pointer after all. I used to be able to do steep stairs but now it would be difficult for me so I guess that means, not too many stairs please.
There are many things I love including hugs, treats, ball playing, riding in cars, doing tricks, hiking. I do have a bad foot though but it doesn’t slow me down much. I am very energetic and sensitive so lots of love is important to me.
My Mom says I have some anxieties about loud vehicles, men in hats and aggressive dogs. I like cats but sometimes they need to put me in my place.
If you think I could be the boy for you, please contact Andrea, Rehoming Coordinator Comox Valley Pawd at [email protected]

Thank you

NEW UPDATE: Angus has found a ride to Nova Scotia! Thank you to everyone who replied to the request!

UPDATE: ADOPTED and in need of a ride to Nova Scotia


Hi! My name is Angus and I am so happy that I have a new home in Dartmouth, NS! My new home will be ready for me after January 19…..but I need help getting there. I do have a ride to Quebec City, and maybe as far as Riviere-du-Loup, Quebec…..but I need to get through New Brunswick and on to Dartmouth, NS. I am a great traveller, although I may need a little help getting into the back seat!

Can you Help? Do you know anyone who might help? My family in the Kingston Pawd, and my new family in Nova Scotia would really appreciate your help.

If you are able to help with transportation for sweet Angus, please contact Dawn Sephton at [email protected]
