Coconut (Coco) | 3 years old | 48 lbs | GTA

Hi, I'm Coconut but my friends call me Coco.

I was once a stray and kept on hanging outside a house where there were dogs, hoping they'd take me in. Fortunately for me the kind lady did so and I got to live with her, her 4 year old son and their lovely dogs. I was so happy there but she couldn't keep me as she had dogs of her own. I'm now living with a foster family and looking for my forever home. I'm very gentle and so sweet.

I'm a little bit shy when I'm first getting to know you, but gentleness and encouragement really help me come out of my shell. I love to be around calm and kind people who show me it's safe to myself. I live with kids and I really love them. A home with kids (as long as they were gentle and respectful) would be perfect for me! I'd also love another dog to live with since I like having a buddy to show me the ropes and help me feel more confident.

I'm a very sweet girl. I don't bark, guard, or pull on leash. I love to be around people and will happily stay nearby as you go about your day. I like to play outside and can get a little silly out there: jumping and rolling around!

I've got tons of love to offer, and love head scratches and liver treats. I'm such a good girl, with such a gentle spirit that I just know you'd be happy you brought me home.

🥰 BERTIE IS ADOPTED! 🥰

Bertie | 4 months old | 25 lb and growing | Toronto

Hi everyone,

It's me, Bertie. For some reason I haven't found my forever home yet and it's hard to understand why. My foster keeps on telling me how adorable I am and how I have the BEST temperament, but somehow people aren't noticing me. I would love to be in a home with another dog (big or small), as I love dog company and I've shared a home with cats before. I love lots of cuddles and being with people and I'm quiet and well behaved. I'm told I'm pretty near perfect.

I had a hard start in life and needed to have a front leg removed. I'm still learning what it means to be a tripod but I'm doing so well. You should see me go!

Please tell your friends about me, as I'd be such a nice addition to a home. My fosters tell me they wish they could adopt me. I'd love that too, but I know my home is out there.

You can apply for me here: https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application

It's Giving Tuesday, and what better day to announce our venture with Save A Dog Network Canada (SADN), based in Winnipeg.

This mobile unit will expand their reach, ensuring even more animals receive the care they deserve. As we know, this is MUCH needed.

Together, we want to make this vision a reality—and we need YOUR help!

🥰 ADOPTED! 🥰

BERTIE | 4 months old | 25 lb or so | Ridgeback mix? | Toronto

Meet Bertie (aka Gumbo) who is a pup with the loveliest temperament. Although he had a really rough start to his life you would never know it based on how friendly and easy going he is. He's living in a foster home with adults and 4 younger children and their small dog. He's lived with cats before and did well with them.

Bertie is a tripod. His front leg was removed after rescuing as it had been flattened, likely by a car. Bertie is still getting used to being a 3 legged dog, and is working on building up his balance and skills. He can now climb a couple of stairs and is getting much stronger. In time he'll build his strength and abilities such that you wouldn't know he had a missing leg.

His foster says "Bertie is a lovely boy! He is very kind, gentle, and does not show any signs of guarding or aggression of any sort. He enjoys being around the family, loves a good belly rub, and would lay at your feet all day if he could. He does want to play and occasionally needs to be reminded not to use his puppy teeth while playing. He loves his foster sister, who is a 6lb morkie. He shares his food and chew toys with her with no sign of guarding. Bertie does well in baths, and with nail trims. He's medium energy, and not too fast moving due to his three legs. He will need to keep working on potty training as he does still occasionally urinate in the house."

Bertie loves being with another dog so he is best placed in a home with another dog to be his friend.

Bertie is very quiet in the house and is the biggest sweetie. Whoever adopts this boy will be SO fortunate.

🥰 AND....we have puppies ready for adoption!! Toronto area. 🥰

Winter weather is in full force in northern Manitoba and puppies and adults are already freezing to death. Thanks to an amazing foster family we were able to take in a whole litter from the far north, as well as 2 local pups from an unwanted litter. The pups are 8-9 weeks old and ready for adoption. The litter of 9 have a Golden Retriever mother, and multiple puppy dads were involved so we have a range of mixes.

Please complete an application if you're interested in one of these adorable puppies. We will be happy to chat about a match. Their neuter/spay will be included in the adoption, as will age-appropriate vaccines. They are on preventatives for heartworm, flea and tick and have been dewormed.

An overload of cuteness!! Let's find them homes asap.

😍 ADOPTED! 😍

Mia | 1.5 years old | 33 lbs | Terrier mix| GTA

Miss Mia is the definition of bright eyed and bushy tailed! She has a keen curiousity about the world and an eagerness to meet, greet, play, and learn! She has been going to work with her foster and loves to be in an interesting new place where she can socialize to her heart's content.

Mia craves affection and loves to cuddle into people's laps and rest her head on their knees. She loves to be around people, but is also content to spend time independently, in her crate or out. She loves toys and chasing her ball.

Like a typical terrier, Mia has a high prey drive. She's obsessed with squirrels and wouldn't do well living with a cat. She'd benefit from someone who is willing to work with her on re-direction and focusing while on leash. Mia has never had much stability and training, but she's eager to learn! We'd love to find her a family who will set expectations and help her channel her zest for life. She's such a sweetheart.

Mia's dream home would be outside the city, adult-only, and cat-free. Her enthusiasm and very playful nature can be a bit much for some dogs, so ]she is best matched with a dog that is gentle and relaxed.

Mia is a fun, bright, and loving girl. She would surely light up your life with her enthusiasm for life and her happy, trusting spirit. To apply, please click the link: https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application

😍 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 😍

Angel Dog | 2 years old | 36 lbs | GTA

Technically Angel got his name due to the special markings on his back that look like angel wings. BUT we think it may also have something to do with his personality which is sweet, loving, and affectionate with all other people and animals. Honestly, you may catch him shining his halo at the end of a long day!

His fosters describe him as gentle and playful. He loves to spend time outdoors and walks well on leash. He'd love an active home where he can get out and about on plenty of walks and adventures. He's curious about squirrels but walks well on leash.

Angel Dog loves to cuddle so he's a great choice if you're looking for a lap dog. He also loves to gives hugs! He is gentle with kids and gets along well with other dogs, so he'd be fine as a solo dog or with a dog sibling.

Angel Dog is so friendly and loving that his "angel wings" are not even close to the most angelic thing about him! He'd be an easy addition to any family, and if you'd like to bring him home please fill out an application: https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application

😍 MAC SAYS THANKS! 😍

Thanks to your generosity Mac's training costs are covered! We really appreciate your assistance, especially as this training will set Mac up for success in his forever home.

Mac is doing very well in his training program and loves learning new things. He's very food motivated and that really helps. He's learning some boundaries (so his puppy-like need for instant gratification can be held in check as needed) and is building his self-confidence. Great job Mac!

He's a very loveable boy with the most irresistible eyes. We're all rooting for you Mac!

CURRY IS ADOPTED! Curry | Almost 7 years | 49 lb | Toronto What do we do? Curry was surrendered back to us just over a year ago now. Living is his life in a rescue setting is not ideal, and he's taking up a place that could be used for other dogs in need. We need to find him a home! We've invested in his training, so he's now an amazing dog that's far better trained than most dogs joining a home. He's great on leash, and will be adopted with some training support for consistency purposes. While he's turning 7 in November, you'd never believe it. He's up for adventures, long walks, and loves getting out in nature. He's dog and people friendly and would best suit a home with adults or adults and teens and up. He's in great health with no health issues. What do we do? We don't want him to spend the rest of his life in a rescue setting. He's a great dog! He deserves a forever home! Do you know someone who would be a fit for Curry? Please have them apply at https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application Curry is the tan coloured dog in this video.

I don't mean to sound boastful, but I'm a really good boy who has learned so much, and Pam tells me I'm such a delight to have around. She can't believe the apps aren't flowing in for me. I'm trying not to take it personally, but neither can I. (Just a reminder that I'm looking for my forever home. Please complete the application linked in the comments if you'd be interested in adopting me. I'm a wonderful companion and can't wait to meet you.)
