Introducing Sasha, a sweet senior who is looking for a place to lay his head and enjoy his retirement. Sasha is a 13.5-year-old Bichon born on December 14, 2011.
Health:
Sasha weighs 16 lbs, is neutered and up-to-date on his vaccinations, flea, tick and heartworm.
He had dental surgery and lost all of his teeth but that doesn’t stop him from eating kibble or enjoying a jerky treat.
His eyes are hazy and he has some hearing loss. He can still see food fall on the floor and if you talk or clap loud enough, he can hear you.
Personality:
Sasha loves nothing more than to sit next to you on the couch. He loves tummy rubs and ear scratches. If you stop, he’ll give his paw as if to say “don’t stop”. He prefers short walks due to a bit of arthritis in his knee and likes to stop and check the P-mail. He is good with dogs, large and small, and loves people. Cats are an unknown but he’s so chill, we don’t believe he would show much interest in them. He will sleep on his bed on the floor but would much prefer to snuggle with you. He sleeps through the night but occasionally, he may need to go out earlier than you’d like to get up. He has been trained to use the p*e pad although his foster has yet to use one. He will whimper to let you know he needs to go. He’s fine when left alone for a few hours. He’ll curl up in his bed and wait for you to come back. He’s good in the car and the vet and his groomer say he’s a perfect gentleman.
Sasha will make the perfect companion for someone who wants a low energy, snuggly partner to watch TV or take an afternoon nap. He would do well in an apartment or a house – it doesn’t matter to him as long as you’re around.
Sasha is located in Brantford, ON. If you are interested in her or have any questions, please email Joyce Clark at [email protected]

Biinooj was in our foster care while her owner was in the hospital. Sadly, she lost her companion and is now looking for a new home. She’s been through a lot of changes as she not only lost her human but her canine and feline companions as well.
Breed: Australian Shepherd mix
S*x: Spayed Female
Age: 8 years old (DOB: August 13, 2017)
Weight: 66 lbs and losing (she was overweight when she first
came to us
Health:
No medical issues. Up-to-date on her vaccinations and flea, tick and heartworm medications. She has some aches in her back end and does not like to have her hind quarters handled (she does not like her floofy fur picked at). She will tolerate having her back nails trimmed, and has no problem having her front nails trimmed and being brushed as long as you are gentle with her back end. Biinooj is not on prescription medications but the vet has recommended daily fish oil (1 tsp) and joint supplement (Cosequin).
Personality:
She’s a very loving, obedient and loyal dog. She’s an excellent watch dog; very alert and barks at noises. She’s most comfortable with women, but has slowly learned to trust her male foster. She’ll cuddle with him on the couch (but still alert barks at him whenever he comes into the room). She loves tummy rubs and ear scratches and will hop onto your bed at night to be near you.
She enjoys car rides, the outdoors and likes to see other people and dogs while walking. Playtime includes chasing sticks or apples, water from a sprinkler or hose and pull toys. Has good recall and knows basic commands.

She gets along well with family dogs with proper introduction and will bark back if the other dog wants to start something. She responds best to firm but gentle guidance (eg: when telling her to settle when barking).
Biinooj is completely housetrained. She’s fine when left alone for a few hours and sleeps about 10 hours through the night (a girl needs her beauty sleep)!

She loves her 2 meals a day and will sing a song to you while you are mixing up her food

A quiet home would be best for this sweet girl . She becomes protective of her person (ie, barks but not aggressive) if others have loud or animated conversations. She needs reassurance that everything is ok.
Biinooj is located in Oakville, ON. If you are interested in her or have any questions, please email Joyce Clark at [email protected]

Volunteer – why volunteer?

The companionship of a dog to an owner is important in so many ways, both mental and physical. By walking these furry companions not only are we helping the owners, but we're giving the dogs what they love! Getting some fresh air and exercise is not only beneficial for the dogs but it also has numerous health benefits for the human walkers.

It's a win-win situation!

BRUTUS is adoptable! He is located in Vancouver, BC
7-year-old male Pomeranian, vaccinated and neutered
This sweet little character has the cutest little face and funky patchy coat. He has love to give to his next companion and loves to cuddle and be by your side, especially when you give him scratches under his chin. Brutus has so much potential and has already learned so much in his foster home. He has wonderful recall, and has learned a few tricks, and because he is food, motivated, you will have fun, teaching him even more.
Brutus can be protective over the person he bonds to the most, but as soon as he is used to the other people in his life, he is sweet and loving with them as well. You can expect him to bark and run to the door when you are home, as he is protective of the people in the home.
At only seven years of age Brutus is a diabetic and requires daily injections of insulin. He has no problem receiving the twice daily injections and loves getting his treat immediately afterwards. He doesn’t see well and doesn’t need a lot of walking, so a couple of daily walks around the block suit him just fine. He doesn’t pull and is always happy to go back home, preferring the comfort and safety of a familiar environment with you by his side.
We are looking for a companion who has a quiet home environment and is around a lot of the time. He would be perfect for a retired single person or couple or a companion who works from home. Kids and other pets are too much for Brutus, so please know that we will be seeking a quiet home without other animals or energetic stimuli. He does not do well with other dogs and is set off when he encounters something new and unknown, especially when it moves fast.
Brutus is only partially housetrained and needs to get out regularly. He sometimes barks if he hears a noise outside, but his little bark is pretty soft. He rides very well in a car and loves his carry-bag especially when in a new place. He is fine when left alone for short periods and can tolerate a bath and brush. He also sleeps through the night!

FOR ADOPTION OR FOSTER - STORMY IS LOCATED IN BC
Not every rehoming is a success the first time. Although we strive to find the right fit, sometimes it does not work out despite everyone’s best efforts. Stormy has come back into our care and is available for adoption again. If a suitable foster home is available, Stormy could go into foster while she waits for her forever home.
Stormy has a gorgeous brindle coat to complement her amber eyes! No doubt she is primarily a bully breed and possibly there are other breeds present.
This five year old is a happy, affectionate, friendly, and smart girl who loves toys and treats and hanging out with her people.
Stormy does well with people. She does tend to jump up, especially when excited, and her new family will want to continue working on helping Stormy learn not to jump.
Stormy is generally friendly towards other dogs, and we know that she has successfully lived with another dog in the past. We also know that in the past, she had several dog friends with whom she happily played with. Recently, we did several set ups with Stormy and other friendly dogs and she showed relaxed body language and peaceful intent. She was interested in the other dogs, but was able to be easily called away or to disengage on her own. We also recently walked her in town and found her able to pass by or follow other dogs without incident and to easily disengage from them.
However, we believe her to be “dog selective”. This means that her response to another dog can be dependent on the other dog’s behavior approach, and possibly their breeds/look. In her recent home, Stormy developed leash reactivity to some dogs in the high density neighborhood they lived in. Stormy has also shown evidence of a strong prey drive and ensure her safety, her new home needs to be without cats or small/tiny dogs. It would be best if there were no small children either in her new home.
Stormy’s ideal home is an active family who will provide her with physical and mental exercise, and who will appreciate all her wonderful qualities as well as understand and manage her interactions with other dogs.
