JACKFRUIT - ADOPTION IN PROGRESS

Male | 3 months old | 12 pounds & growing! | Puppy energy | Curious with dogs | Hasn’t met kids or cats | Fostered in Toronto | A sweet, quick learner | Playful & affectionate

JACKFRUIT. Small in stature but big in personality and puppy love! Entering foster care recently, JACKFRUIT has been busy learning all the ropes of puppyhood and, he’s gaining confidence every day.

Some of his favourite activities right now include sleeping (but only in the shade!), chewing on his toys, and playing fetch. JACKFRUIT has nailed down his sit command and, as he continues to extend his attention span, we think he will pick up everything quickly. For a young boy, he respects boundaries and has even been practicing his recall in the house.

JACKFRUIT prefers to greet human strangers in a very creative approach…army-crawling across the floor! He loves people and is affectionate towards everyone he meets. JACKFRUIT hasn’t met any kids yet directly, so supervised interactions will be needed due to being in the puppy stage! JACKFRUIT has been neutral towards other canine friends, so we think he would do well with another dog going forward, as long as they can tolerate his size and puppy tendencies!

JACKFRUIT has learned to signal when he needs to potty, but we can’t promise perfection every time! In typical puppy fashion, when left alone, he becomes quite vocal about your absence. He is continuing to work on becoming comfortable when he is in his crate (particularly during the day)!

He is still new to leash-walking, preferring to stop for many breaks to look at his surroundings. New environments and condo living have been no problem for this scruff.

Puppy stage is in full ripeness with JACKFRUIT! Whether you’re a first-time dog owner or not, JACKFRUIT is ready to show you his playful side and become a loyal member of your family! Apply to adopt.

MOSEY - ADOPTION IN PROGRESS

Male | 8 months old | 37 pounds | High/puppy energy | Loves dogs | Hasn't met kids or cats | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Boisterous puppy who loves life!

Meet MOSEY! Don’t let his name fool you - this bouncy boy from Mexico is filled to the brim with energy, and mosey around he does not! He’s too busy discovering all the new places his long legs can take him. MOSEY is looking for an active family that can match his energy levels and zest for life.

MOSEY approaches each day fearlessly, with a big dose of goofiness in each step. Being a puppy, every situation is a chance to learn a new lesson. His unmatched excitement for food and sharp mind makes training a breeze, and he has already learned his basic commands (paw, anyone?).

Being a young pup, MOSEY thrives when given structure and a clear daily routine.  Adequate physical and mental stimulation, combined with scheduled crate time is the perfect combination to allow his fun-loving personality to shine!.

MOSEY loves people and dogs and often jumps up in excitement, so he would do best in a household with older, respectful children, and would benefit from having a big doggie sibling to show him the ropes.

Speaking of ideal homes, MOSEY’s dream home would have a backyard where he can burn off his puppy energy (a scruff can dream!). However, when his needs are met, he would also do very well in an apartment setting.  Early on, MOSEY experienced some uncertainty when left home alone, but his fosters have been working with him on building his confidence, and he has come leaps and bounds!

Overall, MOSEY is a very devoted dog! Big feelings mean big love, and this little scruff has lots of love to give.  If you are patient, consistent and committed to ongoing training, you will be rewarded with a lifelong companion.
