Adoptable Dogs

Mitch

Mitch is a 2 year neutered male Border Collie/Australian Shepherd with the striking markings of the Border Collie and also some characteristics of the Aussi, most noticeable being the short tail. He is proving to be an extremely smart and easily motivated dog who already has a firm grasp on basic training as well as additional skills such as going down on command, shaking paws for a treat and, undoubtedly, he has more tricks in his repertoire as yet to be discovered. This unique and attractive boy has a lot to offer his new family in the form of companionship, loyalty and fidelity. His enquiring mind, keen intellect and excellent conformation will enable him to fulfill many roles including formal obedience, agility, doggy sports and activities as well as walks, hikes and camping with his human friends. He is also fond of travelling and is well behaved and quiet in a vehicle. Mitch is good with other dogs and would happily share his new home with a canine play-mate, male or female. He has been formally introduced to Opus the resident cat, who's tolerance of cavorting canines is minimal at best, and showed little interest in asserting himself - meeting grudging approval from his nibs. If you are a fan of the herding breeds and can offer this gorgeous boy the home he so richly deserves, please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Mitch is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Sydney

Sidney is a 9 month neutered male Australian Shepherd/Retriever weighing about 50 lbs and approximately the size of a Border Collie. This uniquely beautiful dog bears a resemblance to both of these popular breeds. In keeping with his Aussie heritage he has no tail to speak of and from his Retriever lineage comes his gorgeous light gold coat. He is out-going and sociable, both with people and other dogs. In consideration of his young age and breed mix he would do best in a home where his keen intellect could be challenged and his exercise needs met. " He has no tail to wag it's true - Alas poor Sydney can't tell you - How much your kindness means to him - With wagging tail as most dogs can. It seems as though to make amends - This pup works harder to make friends - With happy face and smiling eyes - He'll let you know you're idolized. His heart is pure, make no mistake - He'll neither pause not hesitate - To welcome you and will not fail - To make you forget he has no tail." For more information on Sydney please contact us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Sydney is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Suzi

Suzi is an 18 month spayed female red and cream Siberian Husky with blue eyes and weighing 45 lbs. Her tale is one told many times but not always with a happy ending. Suzi was in a situation with other Huskies where her well-being and personal needs were set aside in order to produce Husky pups for breeder profits. She has been a mother to puppies even though she is still a pup herself. She has now been fully vetted and spayed and the rest of her life will belong to her in the pursuit of happiness and her own fulfillment. She is blessed with a resilience borne of the Husky's ability to endure and to overcome life's inequities, coupled with an optimistic and sweet nature. Due to her puppy rearing experience Suzi is extremely tolerant of other dogs, even the smaller ones, and would be quite delighted to share a home with a canine brother or sister of any breed. She is quickly rediscovering her own puppy-hood and loves to play now that she is allowed to follow her natural inclinations, a play-mate in her new home would certainly be a bonus for her. She would do best with a family or individuals with previous experience with her breed and an appreciation of their special qualities. For additional info on Suzi or to make an appointment to visit with her you can reach us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Suzi is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Otto

Otto is a 5 year neutered male Miniature Pinscher weighing 10 lbs, picture perfect for his breed with excellent conformation and handsome markings. He is proving to be quite the little charmer with a sense of fun and a penchant for catching treats. He has the potential to be a dedicated and steadfast companion to someone with prior knowledge and appreciation of his breed. He is a wonderful walking buddy, attentive and finely tuned to his partner. Otto is intelligent and sensitive, responding well to patient handling and well defined direction. We feel that he may have been treated harshly in the past as he was somewhat fearful and defensive for the first few days of being with us. However, he has quickly adjusted to our low key approach, which includes daily walks and fun times, and is showing us a quite delightful and sparkling personality with a touch of impishness. Little Otto is in need of a doting adult family who will love him enough provide the security of a "forever" home. He gets along well with other dogs who are passive in nature and don't pose a threat and he is fine with cats. Please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692 for more information. No young children due to his smaller size and vulnerability. Otto is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Tweed

Tweed is an 18 month neutered male Yellow Labrador Retriever who can probably boast of noble, well bred and distinguished ancestors. Their quality shines through in his physical beauty, good nature and innate intelligence with his own special characteristics adding to his personal charm. Tweed's bright personality and gorgeous colour combine to make him stand out in a crowd like a beacon and his naturally kind and gentle manner tends to draw people to him as though he were a magnet. He would therefore do well in a family setting with people who enjoy social interaction with other people and their pets. This lovely boy is equally affable with his canine friends and treats our resident cat "Opus" with the respect he demands. Since he is a member of a sporting breed and a young adult he will do best in a home where his exercise needs are met as well as his great desire for human companionship. He dares to dream of a life shared with people who love him enough to make it meaningful and joyful. Will you make his dream come true? Please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Tweed is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Kylie

Kylie is a 5 month spayed female smaller sized Lab/Border/Collie mix weighing 30 lbs at the moment and probably maturing to 40 lbs, somewhat resembling a Labrador in miniature. She is as pretty as a picture with shiny black,slightly wavy coat enhanced with white on chest. This stunning girl has it all; beauty, intelligence, charm and good humour. Her desire to please is truly a quality that sets her apart in a class of her own. We have no inkling as to what fabulous genetic factors combined to produce such a pleasing and pleasant pooch but we know that her special qualities will enable her to shine in the role of an exceptional family pet. Because of her young age and desire for human companionship she will require a family who will be committed to spending time with her as well as supporting her need for a stimulating environment. She is gentle and generous by nature and would be happy to share her new home with another dog, cat or respectful children. For more info on sweet, lovable Kylie, please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Kylie is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Checkers

Checkers is a 6 year neutered male black and white Shih-Tsu weighing 12 lbs. His disarming personality is slowly emerging as he becomes more confident and comfortable in his new situation. He is beginning to let out his inner puppy with bouts of tail chasing and playfulness with his stuffed toys. No doubt he once had a home and is wondering why he is here with us. It seems he was somewhat neglected in recent times as his beautiful coat was in need of attention to restore it to well groomed beauty. He has now spent time with our excellent groomer who doubles as an understanding and compassionate friend of rescued dogs. Little Checkers was treated to the works; cut, wash and blow-dry, and he was very cooperative and brave throughout, although the nail trimming was not his favourite part. He is very pleased with his new look, however, and quite keen to have his picture taken for everyone to see how handsome he is with his large expressive eyes and beguiling features. He is in need of a family who will be patient enough to let him become accustomed to his new surroundings before making demands on him and he will prove to be a wonderful and loyal companion. No young children due to his smaller size and vulnerability. Please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Checkers is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Dale's Pride

Dale's Pride is a 2 year neutered male Border Collie with classic black and white markings and show stopping good looks. However, he has no ambition to grace a show ring or to be a working dog for his self image and confidence has been shattered by heavy handling. Although desperate to please he seems confused by the urge to be friendly, as his own nature dictates, and the fear of punishment and rejection. This conflict causes Dale to be super submissive as he does his best to predict what people want from him. We have seen, in the few days he's been with us, a change of posture and attitude as he is allowed to interact and play with other dogs and enjoy daily walks. This super sweet boy would do especially well in a home with another dog as a play-mate and role model. He would also live companionably with a cat. Dale is well mannered on leash and with growing confidence is becoming quite a lovely walking companion. If you are searching for a Border Collie who is gentle, loyal and loving then Dale is waiting for you to take him home and show him the love and affection that, perhaps, he has never known. Please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692 for additional information or to make an appointment to come and meet him. Dales Pride is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Jester

Jester is a one year neutered male Yorkshire Terrier with perhaps some Papillon in his mix. He weighs 10 pounds, just enough to make a lovin' armful for some lucky individual or family .As you can see he is as pretty as a picture with his silky tri-coloured coat and adorable little face. It is not a joke, however, that jester has no home to call his own and no family to treasure him as he so richly deserves. He has so much love to offer and, although he is a little shy at the moment due to an unsettled beginning to his life, he is eager to make friends and convey his innermost feelings of goodwill. Being just a pup Jester's requirements would include having someone in his life who would be willing to devote the time and patience to ensure his happiness and well-being. He has all the makings of a fabulous little companion dog and would not be averse to sharing his new home with a canine brother or sister. He is not inclined towards jealousy nor is he the kind of dog who exhibits dominance in any form, wanting only to love and be loved in return - an ambition we all aspire to in our lives. Will you give Jester the opportunity to express his true spirit and sweet nature in your loving home? If so, please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. No young children due to his smaller size and vulnerability. Jester is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Amber

Amber is a 4 year spayed female Collie/Labrador with, perhaps, another breed or two adding their delightful contribution to her unique character and appearance. As you can see by her photo Amber has already made friends with the infamous "Opus" who's abrasive personality and general disdain for dogs has become legend in our doggy bios. For the first time we have opus on camera with one of our foster dogs, even though poor Amber was subjected to a warning swat on her nose. Obviously she has a high pain threshold as well as a high tolerance for annoying felines. As expected her sweet, pacifist nature is inclusive and she extends her own particular brand of doggy love to all canines and humans of her acquaintance, radiating goodwill wherever she goes. This lovely girl would excel in the role of family pet or as a devoted companion to young retirees who have the time to enjoy her attentions. She has excellent leash manners and is not inclined to be vocal, a wagging tail and expressive eyes being her chosen method of communicating her joyful and happy nature and pleasure in the company of her friends. If the idea of sharing your heart and home with a beautiful girl like Amber appeals to you, please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Amber is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Ming

Ming is a 6 year neutered male Pekinese who's limpid eyes and soft features are truly a reflection of his inner beauty. Hundreds of years of selected breeding has produced the Pekingese, the oriental gem of companion dogs, cosseted and coveted by royalty and commoner alike. Ming is gifted with all the attributes of his ancestors but, alas, his only value up until now has been in the puppies he has sired for unscrupulous owners. That burden has finally been removed, he is now neutered and fully vetted, brushed and primped befitting a dog of his noble breeding. He is ready to become a beloved companion to a family or individual deserving of his gentle, quiet devotion, someone who will treat him with the consideration and care he deserves. Little Ming has stolen our hearts with his irresistible, cuddly, teddy bear charm and gentle affectionate nature. His value is to be found in his own innate qualities, the ability to project an aura of tranquillity and love for all creatures great and small and his steadfast acceptance of life's iniquities. At this season of good will, surely Ming will discover the magic of human compassion in a loving, forever home. No young children due to his smaller size and vulnerability. Please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Ming is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered

Thomas

Thomas is a 5 month, 4 lb neutered male domestic short haired beautiful grey striped tabby kitten in need of a purrfectly wonderful home. This ordinarily sweet natured little cat has obviously had negative experiences around people and we believe he was dumped on our country road to fend for himself. Well, what with Winter approaching and the threat from predators - even dogs - his chances of survival were slim to none. It seems that luck conspired with fate to bring Thomas, tired and hungry, to one of our dog pens looking for food, giving us the chance to capture him, get him fully vetted and bring him into the safety and comfort of our home. For a few days little Thomas was reluctant to give up his defensive posture and give us his trust. However, he is making steady progress, along with overtures of affection accompanied by the welcome sound of loud, contented purring. This brave little kitten who came out of the forest looking for help deserves to find a kind, caring and patient family who will enjoy watching him overcome his timidity and grow into a confident and contented cat. If you can find it in your heart to offer Thomas the warmth, affection and love he has never known please call us at: (905) 939 - 2692. Thomas is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered
