Azula and Nova (FKA Louise) – Azula and Nova’s mom says they are settling in well and are the sweetest girls.

They are total love bugs and are often found cuddled up or getting into mischief together.

They are getting along really well with their new lab siblings (Re*****on and Chase) and can even be found snuggled up with the pups from time to time … as long as they know they are sound asleep of course 😊

They love to explore and have free reign of the house.

When it’s time for bed, they like to sleep with mom and dad.

The family is so thankful to have found Azula and Nova!

Our striking boy has found his family!

Mocha’s new family says he is great and adjusting really well and they are so happy he is part of the family 😊

It didn’t take long for him to make himself right at home! Spending his first day exploring his new home and ending it sleeping at the foot of mom and dad’s bed.

He loves car rides, going for walks (keep a look out, you might see him on the Ontario Pathways), and the Buffalo Bills (Go Bills!).

Mostly he loves spending time with mom, dad, and his extended family … can you blame him!

Congratulations Mochaccino!

We miss your sweet smile, your bright, intelligent (at times mischievous) eyes, your curious nature and enthusiastic spirit!

Enjoy your new life and every new adventure precious boy, we couldn’t be happier for you!

All of the staff, volunteers, and most importantly, the animals, thank you

SOS Placement! This animal is NOT located at the shelter. Please message us if you would like the contact information.

Meet Ice! Ice is approximately a 6 year old spayed Cane Corso mix who needs a new home.

Ice was adopted from a different shelter a few months ago and due to a sudden change of living arrangements and loss of outdoor space, the owners are looking to recommend her.

She's described as loyal and protective of her master and wants to be a queen, so being the only dog is recommended.

She is house trained, crated trained, and knows her basic manners.

If you have questions or feel Ice may be the perfect pup for you, please send us a message.

Pickles has been adopted! Our sweet boy has found his family!

His new family says he is doing really good! It’s only been a few weeks, and he is still getting used to his new surroundings, but he is adjusting well.
They love him already and couldn’t imagine their family without him (it doesn’t hurt that he is so darn happy and cute 🥰)

At first he followed his new family around like a second shadow. As he’s become more comfortable his independent and playful (sometimes mischievous) side has started to come out 😉

Pickles starts his day sitting with dad while he gets ready for work and ends his day snuggled up with dad watching TV.
The couch was his favorite place to sit, until he discovered the recliner!

He loves going for walks, playing with sticks in the yard and hanging with his doggie brother, Little Bear. Little Bear LOVES his new brother, zoomies and all … he just gives him his space to get it out and then joins in the fun! One of his favorite things to do is sit in the front window with Little Bear.
A great place to sit and watch the world go by with his new brother 😊

Congratulations Pickles! Despite your name, you were never salty or sour!
You always greeted everyone with excitement and a happy, eager smile!
We are going to miss your bright beautiful eyes, your floppy ears, and short (surprisingly quick) little legs. Your playful and energetic spirit, your love of walks and pure delight in demolishing your stuffie toys. Most of all we are going to miss the pure, simple joy that radiated from you every time you saw one of your people (especially if they had a treat or leash in hand).

We are so happy you found your family and can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you!
Enjoy your new life, your story is just getting started!
