OPHELIA

 

Female | 4.5 months old | 19 pounds & growing! | Medium energy | Hasn’t met kids or cats | Curious and friendly meeting dogs | From Manitoba | Fostered in Toronto | Sweet, smart & playful

Meet our first adoptable of 2026! This is OPHELIA. She finds joy in activities such as fetch and cuddling. Oh, and she’s looking for a home!

OPHELIA absolutely loves her foster family, just as much as they’ve loved spending time caring for her. In fact, she’s fond of all humans and often wants to either play with them or be shown affection by them. With other dogs, she’s cautious yet calm and curious. Occasionally, these interactions can lead to her jumping, though more often than not, that isn’t the case.

Still young, OPHELIA shows some puppy tendencies (think: zoomies and occasional playful nipping). Once she’s used up all her extra energy, she shows off her most calm, loving, and gentle self. She’s a big fan of her human friends, as we said, and when she’s not in play mode, you can often find her napping near them throughout the day. 

Thus far, training OPHELIA has been rewarding for her foster family to experience right alongside her. Her leash walking skills in particular are something to be proud of… even if she’s stubborn and still prefers the warmth of a condo! Perhaps some cold-weather gear is in her future. She has great crate discipline (she’ll use it when asked) and knows commands, including sit, stay, lie down and is working on paw. She’s recently discovered her chatty husky side, and barking is something she’s taken to alert her people at mealtimes and, as you can imagine, she is treat-motivated. She’s a growing scruff, and is a voracious eater!

ZSA-ZSA

 

Female | 6.5 months old | 25 pounds & growing! | Medium energy | Friendly meeting kids | Has met some dogs | Hasn’t met cats, shows slight prey drive | From Manitoba | Fostered in Toronto | Playful & curious

Affectionate. Rambunctious. Friendly. These are all great descriptors of this scruff named ZSA-ZSA. At five months old, she’s growing a little more every day, and it’s her playful personality that keeps her foster family busy on any given day!

ZSA-ZSA’s playfulness, combined with her curious nature, can lead to a display of boisterous energy. But what exactly does this look like? A tendency to jump in excitement when she’s making new friends with other dogs. We love the energy she brings to the table, though she is working on calmer interactions, as not all dogs want to interact in a similar fashion. Her pushiness has us searching for an adopter(s) that will continue to be consistent with the rules and boundaries they establish with ZSA-ZSA.

Having met kids of all ages, ZSA-ZSA is always pleased to interact with them and shows more restraint in these scenarios. She has developed even more confidence in the care of her foster family as well, which is great to see. We’re also seeing that consistency in and of itself has been a great tool in helping ZSA-ZSA learn the ins and outs of leash walking, especially with all the distractions that public spaces inevitably involve.

ZSA-ZSA is in search of a family to call her own. Keen to adopt? Apply today!
