KARMA

Female | 12 years old | 63 pounds | Medium energy | Good with older, dog-savvy kids | Best as a solo dog | No exposure to cats, likely best in a cat-free home | From Hamilton | Fostered in Hamilton | Loves enrichment activities | Affectionate & energetic

Here comes a senior dog, sloooowly & weakly padding along… *record scratch* PSYCH not this senior. Nope, this senior is charging over here full-speed ahead (and watch out for that tail!) Meet KARMA! She’s 12 years old but jam-packed full of energy. This sweet brindle came to us from a shelter in Hamilton and has been settling in and growing her confidence in foster care. 

KARMA loves any & all activities. Walking, hiking, playing, training, enrichment activities…sign her up. She’s looking for an active family that loves going for adventures but also loves chilling. When KARMA gets adequate activity, she is happy to relax for a movie night with her peeps. With her trusted humans, KARMA is very affectionate and has a heart as big as her 14-inch ear span. Meeting new people she can be apprehensive — but with slow & calm intros she warms up quickly. 

As much as she loves going for walks, KARMA can be vocal on leash and her future home will want to continue working through this with her. She may have a harder time in a building where her chances of running into other dogs in hallways/elevators is higher — due to being vocal passing them. Depends on how she responds to ongoing support from her caregiver. We haven’t cat tested her yet. We think she’d thrive best in a home where she’s the only animal. This is how she’s been living in foster care and it seems to work for her.

KARMA does well with older, dog-savvy kids and would be happy in a home with more humans to give her attention and activity. She’s looking for a family that can devote time & attention to giving her mental stimulation and ALL the love & affection. 

Something we love about KARMA is how clumsy & silly she is. She’s a lovable goofball who’s fun to be around. Want to be around her all the time? Apply to adopt!

DAIZY

Female | 5.5 years old | 42 pounds | Medium-low energy | Good second dog | Hasn’t met kids or cats | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Sweet & gentle | Shy & building up confidence

Meet scruff DAIZY. She’s sweet, gentle and oh so unique, just like the spelling of her name! She’s in search of a quiet, chill home outside the city where she can enjoy a consistent routine that involves a nice long walk. If you’re keen on adopting her and live in the city, she could do well with a second dog in the home that can help lead the way.

Making the move from a shelter in Mexico to city living in Toronto has been a big change for her and rightly so! Every once and a while, her foster catches a glimpse of the personality that’s just waiting to emerge as she gains confidence in a new environment. DAIZY has shown she’s keen on belly rubs! She can be a bit of a picky eater though, so don’t expect food to particularly motivate her.

Something that fills our hearts to the brim is when she shows trust in her humans, choosing to walk alongside you down a busy street of strangers. Loud noises and sudden movements can still catch her off guard though, so older dog-savvy kids would be best for her, if you have any, for now. When not out on a walk, DAIZY loves to catch up on her Zzz’s, which makes sense given her energy level. You’ll find that she’s content to chill out by herself at any given time, which has made crate training a breeze. Apply to adopt!
