Meet TAMAR! If there's one thing to know about TAMAR, it’s that her affection spreads far and wide, extending to just about everyone she meets, human or canine!

TAMAR is curious and always up for an adventure! TAMAR loves showing off her silly side (zoomies, anyone?), but recognizes when she has played too roughly (we love an emotionally aware queen 👑)! At home, she’s perfectly content to curl up, snooze, or work away at a favourite chew while her humans do their own thing!

TAMAR could be comfortable in a variety of home settings (condos welcome!) with enough physical and mental stimulation. After some initial nervousness around loud and unpredictable noises, she’s becoming more confident every day. She has tackled subways, streetcars and cars… talk about a city girl! She is also quickly learning basic commands including sit, wait, and come, and settles easily in her crate while her foster mom goes to work.

TAMAR has met kids of all ages but does best when they respect her space and let her approach first. TAMAR is a social girl, especially when other dogs reciprocate her energy, so we think she’d love a home with another playful scruff. Since she is very attentive to squirrels and birds, we anticipate that cats may not be the best fit! TAMAR is still learning the finer points of being a polite puppy, so she needs a home that can confidently redirect her attention and help her social butterfly personality shine!

TAMAR would love a family who can keep her curious mind and playful spirit busy while also appreciating her favourite part of the day: settling in for a good cuddle after all the adventures are done. Whether she’s exploring the world or curled up by your side, TAMAR is ready to be someone’s best friend. Apply to adopt!

TAMAR will be a special guest at our upcoming adoption event on Saturday, September 26th from 11am - 2pm at Petsmart Etobicoke (158 N Queen St, Etobicoke, ON) Come meet her and see if she might be the right fit for you! Note: This event is only open to SOS adoptables. If you have your own scruff, we ask that you please leave them at home!

He’s legendary. He’s got heart. He’s NANDO. Bringing the heat, or, rather, the affection when you need it most, NANDO is as loyal as they come. Some even consider him a Velcro dog :) You’ll soon find that all this scruff wants is to be with his people, which, in our books, is the best kind of soul-soothing comfort out there. Feel free to give him ALL the tummy rubs.

NANDO is big on Netflix and napping, but, while he may be a senior, he’s got a sweet puppy-like energy to him with some goofball tendencies. Some of his fav pastimes include using his nose to sniff all the smells and playing hide and seek during a midday burst of energy. Then, of course, it’s back to his nap schedule.

Being a little shy in new situations, it’s your confident, calm guidance that will have him catching on quickly to what he needs to learn in your care! While he warms up to people fairly quickly giving kisses right off the bat, it can take him more time to get comfortable with males. With you advocating for him, he’ll quickly learn to trust you’re setting him up for success. He’s likely to do well in a calm, quiet home where his people are home more often than not.

Just like the first bite of that perfectly grilled peri-peri chicken, this scruff will add a burst of joy to your everyday life. Apply to adopt NANDO today. It’s a wing-wing situation after all!
