Daisy is a 4-month-old Cattle Dog mix who was abandoned by her original rescue. This affectionate pup thrives on companionship and would love to follow you everywhere, making her a fantastic travel buddy. Daisy has high puppy energy and enjoys daily adventures and mental stimulation. She also loves other dogs and would do best in a home with a canine companion and someone who is home often.

Daisy’s ideal family would include older kids or dog-savvy younger children, as she can be a bit mouthy during play. She does well with both men and women and has shown no signs of resource guarding. Though crate training and leash walking are still in the works, she’s settling into these routines with practice.

Daisy would thrive in a detached home with a yard, where she can safely explore and burn off her puppy energy. With love, structure, and time, Daisy is sure to grow into the loyal and loving companion of your dreams.

If you’re ready for a snuggle bug with lots of potential, Daisy can’t wait to meet you!

Beau is a 5-month-old mixed breed from a small litter in the Manitoba reserves, and he’s as sweet and snuggly as they come. He’s a laid-back pup with a calm demeanor, earning him the affectionate nickname “old man puppy.” Beau loves curling up on the couch, and his soft snores are sure to melt your heart. Though Beau enjoys short bursts of play, his energy level is on the moderate side. After 30–40 minutes of playtime with his friends, he’s ready to call it a day and will gently let other dogs know he’s done. He’s great with dogs of all sizes, even making friends with a Great Dane, though he appreciates it when his boundaries are respected. Beau has also been wonderful with cats and curious but gentle when meeting them.

Beau is a smart boy who has already learned “sit” and is working on “high five” and recall. He has excellent impulse control, walks confidently on a leash, and loves car rides. While he’s about 75% house-trained (pooping outdoors is mastered, but peeing is still a work in progress), he needs a patient family to help him along. He’s also crate-trained and settles down after an initial bark or whine.

Beau is a 10/10 best boy who will make a fantastic companion for anyone who appreciates a sweet, snuggly, and intelligent dog.

If you’re ready for a lifelong cuddle buddy, Beau is waiting to meet you! 🐾

Peachy is a 5-month-old mixed-breed pup with a heart full of love. With her soft tan coat and gentle spirit, she’s the perfect blend of playful and snuggly. Peachy is a curious explorer who enjoys discovering the world at her own pace, making her an independent little adventurer. She’s not afraid to play with bigger dogs and, after a burst of fun, loves to crash on your lap for a cozy nap. This precious pup will flip her on her back when she is relaxing, and she’ll happily cozy up in your arms. Peachy has medium puppy energy and would thrive in a home where she can enjoy long walks, sniffing all the exciting scents, and meeting new friends, both human and canine. She’s already shown friendliness toward cats, making her a great fit for multi-pet households.

Peachy is still mastering house training (about 50% there) and is getting more comfortable with crate training, settling in after a bit of barking or whining. While she’s learning the ropes of leash walks, she’s eager to improve with a patient and loving family.

This sweet girl would do best in a detached home where she has space to grow and explore. Her playful personality, cuddly nature, and adventurous spirit make her a precious baby who’s ready to bring joy and love to her forever family.

Over the weekend we welcomed these three sweet puppies.

Beau, Peachy and Daisy were originally rescued from Manitoba. Once they arrived to Ontario their original rescue suddenly closed, leaving the puppies with no where to go.

We are looking forward to supporting these puppies and the great volunteers of the other organization who were left with no plan.

They see the vet later this week, head to their new foster homes and will soon be posted for adoption. Stay tuned!

We shared our second week of our Raffles for Bepsi fundraiser earlier today, so we thought we would share a quick update on this little fighter.

Bepsi continues to receive the absolute BEST care with his foster family. We are so grateful to them for caring for Bep, we know that it can be challenging at times!

We wanted to share his medical report in transparency of his case. Some things you may notice in his notes…

“One of the most remarkable MRIs I have ever seen after brain trauma”

“Severe brain damage with permanent lesions”

“Unlikely that the quality of life will improve”

“Considering humane euthanasia would not be wrong”

As you can see in the videos, despite his neurological defects, he is a happy go lucky puppy that just wants to play - and eat! It’s so heartbreaking to know that there isn’t a lot that we can do for him medically speaking.

We have been in touch with a rehabilitation facility to discuss opportunities to work with Bepsi, hoping that we can help him. We aren’t ready to give up on Bepsi and will exhaust our options to see if he can live a happy and mostly normal life - as long as he’s fighting with us.

Thank you to everyone who’s bought raffle tickets and donated to his care thus far. 🩵

This charming little gentleman was discovered at a chemical plant, a survivor of the streets who managed to make it through some tough times. His overgrown nails and dishevelled appearance hinted at his challenging past, but his resilient spirit shines through. Bruno is the perfect lap companion— content to cuddle up for hours in your lap or snooze peacefully in his cozy bed. He loves exploring the yard at his own pace, but his favourite moments are when it’s time to come inside for a meal. This little guys LOVES to eat!

At his age, Bruno is embracing his golden years with grace. He’s missing nearly all of his teeth, which gives him an irresistibly adorable tongue-out smile, and he moves with a stiff but determined gait, likely due to arthritis. He’s also experiencing some hair loss, especially on his back and his little nub tail, but he’s receiving care and making progress. Bruno will need some ongoing TLC.

This senior sweetheart is looking for a warm and loving home to enjoy his retirement. If you have room in your heart and home, Bruno will repay you with endless love and gratitude. Let’s give this precious gem the comfort and love he truly deserves.

Big news!! Otis update

22/11/2024

This darling senior needs some more love.

Is she basically blind? Yes.
Does she have a collapsed trachea? Also yes.
Is she an incredibly sweet senior lap dog? You bet!

Glory is part of our Golden Rebel program, with an adoption fee of $450. There has to be someone out there who wants to give this little lady the best golden years. 💛

Glory was surrendered to our partner in Texas last year after she was originally abandoned at a vet's office. She is a senior gal, likely in the 10 year range, though we can't be certain of her actual age.

She has some vision loss but sees well enough to move easily from room to room and around the yard - bumping into things along the way. She comes when called and wants nothing more than to sit on your lap.

Glory loves to eat and mealtime is her absolute favourite. They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but with Glory's food motivation, you just might!

She currently sleeps in bed with her foster mom and is the first one to give gently kisses in the morning, signaling its time to get up.

With her diminished vision, she is a bit cautious around new smells and environments. She does well in her foster's house with dogs ranging from 4lb to 190lb, except for one little fully blind Pomeranian who she will literally search out to tussle with.

She is smart, affectionate, feisty and fun. She is a very sweet little senior pup!

Attached is info from her ophthalmologist regarding her eyes and her regular vet regarding her trachea.

Meet Rosario, affectionately known as Rosie! This gorgeous tri-coloured Corgi mix is a spirited and sweet one-year-old weighing about 34 lbs. Despite her petite frame and short legs, Rosie is surprisingly athletic—she loves walks or runs and would likely excel on an agility course. She's also a cuddle bug who adores belly rubs and calm moments with her humans.

Rosie listens well, is easy to work with, and has shown to be calm with bursts of playful energy. She walks nicely on a leash, is crate trained, and is 90% house-trained. She enjoys the company of other dogs but isn’t fond of cats. While she may guard high-value items from animals, she’s never done so with people. Rosie would thrive in a single-family home where her medium energy level and occasional moments of separation whining are lovingly managed.

Rosie is a keeper, ready to share her heart and brighten someone’s life. She’s patiently waiting for her perfect forever family to give her all the love she deserves!
