TURBO

Male | 3 months old | Medium energy | Hasn’t met cats | Met kids | Living with a dog | From Manitoba | Fostered in Toronto | Playful & sweet | Building Independence

You’ve met Raz… now get ready for his brother, TURBO! 💨 

Don’t let the name fool you though, TURBO isn’t all go-go-go, he just REALLY loves to play. Whether he’s bouncing around with a toy, a dog buddy, or out exploring the world, this happy-go-lucky pup is always ready for a little adventure.

TURBO is a lovebug who’s learning to love the world just as much. He enjoys meeting new people on walks, including kids, taking everything in stride. He recently spent time with a few family kiddos and after some gentle pets he flopped down, content and drifted off to dreamland. TURBO stayed calm the entire time and his foster fam was so proud of him. 

Playtime is where TURBO truly shines. He loves to romp around, entertain himself with toys, and would happily keep a dog sibling busy. He’s currently living with a dog sister and adores her company, though he can be a little protective of her on walks, sometimes showing off his bark, especially towards male dogs. With guidance, he redirects well and shows great potential to keep building his confidence and manners. On solo walks, there isn’t a peep out of this guy, and TURBO simply loves to be out & about. 

An outdoorsy boy at heart, TURBO would thrive with space to explore, whether that’s a yard or regular adventures. When he’s not playing, he’s dreaming about snacks, and may add a little dramatic flair with a whine or howl when food is involved. 

TURBO is a growing boy who’s settling into his routine and already starting to outgrow his crate. He’s made great progress with potty training, is working through teething (frozen carrots 🥕 to the rescue), and will need help building confidence with solo time. He’s currently used to lots of company and frequent potty breaks, so he’ll benefit from a home that can gently support him as he learns to spend more time on his own.

With his playful spirit, sweet nature, and endlessly entertaining personality, TURBO is ready to bring fun, love, and a whole lot of joy to his forever home. Apply to adopt TURBO below! 

TURBO will be a special guest at our upcoming adoption event on Sunday, March 29th from 12pm - 2pm at Petsmart Etobicoke (158 N Queen St, Etobicoke, ON) Come meet him and see if he 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!

KIMMY

Female | 1 year old | 23 pounds | High energy | Likely good second dog | Not cat-tested | From Hamilton | Fostered in Toronto | Fun, loving & energetic

Unbreakable? You betcha. It’s KIMMY! 💛 This wiggly girl first came into SOS care in January from a local shelter with a suspected hip injury that had in fact healed abnormally. After successful surgery and lots of love, KIMMY is recovering beautifully and is now pain-free, with a bright, active future ahead of her.

KIMMY will need continued at-home rehab and physio as she heals, and moderate daily exercise to keep her strong and thriving. The good news? This happy little dynamo is more than ready. Through it all, KIMMY has kept her joyful spirit, silly expressions with those cute eyebrows, and signature all-out wiggles.

At just one year old, KIMMY is full of energy and charm. She’s a social butterfly who loves meeting new people and is always ready to hand out kisses. She can be a bit jumpy when excited, so older or dog-savvy kids would be the best fit for her. She would also likely love a dog sibling to play with and learn from.

KIMMY has not been cat-tested and does show some prey drive like crouching for squirrels, so a home without small animals would be ideal, though she may do okay in time with a dog-savvy cat. She’s still working on her manners, potty training, and being left alone, but she’s making great progress and has been managing the 9-5 routine with regular breaks, enrichment and exercise.

This lovable girl is looking for a home that can keep up with her zest for life while continuing to support her recovery. A yard would be a lovely bonus for KIMMY, giving her the space to move, play, and continue building strength, as she settles into the happy life she’s been waiting for.

Think you can keep up with this resilient little ray of sunshine? Apply to adopt KIMMY!

KIMMY will be a special guest at our upcoming adoption event on Sunday, March 29th from 12pm - 3pm 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!

RAZ

Male | 3 months old | Low energy | Hasn’t met cats or kids | Curious about dogs | From Manitoba | Fostered in Toronto | Affectionate & sweet | Building independence

Want to be in on a secret? This is strictly on a need-to-know basis: RAZ, this cutie pie 3-month-old pup, is officially adoptable. He’s quite the catch, RAZ is, and likely going to have many potential adopters checking him and his bio out. That’s why we’re sharing this on the sly - so that you can be the first to learn all there is to learn about him!

If there was one thing you should know about this scruffy pup, it’s that he’s the world’s biggest cuddle bug. Now that’s something we couldn’t keep under wraps even if we tried! He’s affectionate, which his foster family loves to see, as it’s visibly shown them just how much he’s come out of his shell in their care. Make sure to maintain your boundaries, though, so that he doesn’t delve too far into clingy territory! The right balance is key.

Let’s talk about his social life! Calmly curious about dogs, RAZ is timid meeting them on walks, though he keeps his composure. When it comes to humans, he prefers to sit and check them out rather than approaching them. If and when they pet him, however, that’s when he’s all in!

Exploring the outdoors remains new territory for RAZ. In fact, being outdoors in new settings frightens him a bit. Mum’s the word, RAZ, we won’t tell potential scruff friends! Anyways, this just means he’ll likely become slightly more active outside than he is now, as he grows more comfortable. Inside the home, he enjoys chill play sessions while chewing on his stuffies or engaging in a light round of tug. Like most pups, RAZ engages in playful nipping here and there. It’s more gentle than anything, though still something to note if he’s to meet kids.

Now it’s time to spill the beans about all things training. Daytime crate training has been tricky, though what he excelled in is house training. RAZ is comfortable using pee pads - a huge help for condo living - and making use of the outdoors. RAZ has done well learning basic commands, and it is repetition that we have to thank for that! Well, and his foster fam of course! There’s some room for improvement with leash training, though he typically follows his human’s lead.

So. Now that we’ve let the cat out of the bag and you know what you know about RAZ, ready to adopt? Apply today!
