FRISBEE - APP IN PROCESS

Male | 7 months old | Medium energy | Lives with a dog | Hasn’t met kids or cats | From Ontario | Fostered in Toronto | Sweet & smart

Sweet, smart, and generally well-behaved, this scruff loves a good snuggle. Oh, and don’t forget belly rubs! Meet FRISBEE. At seven months old, this pup has a slightly mischievous side that shows up when he’s feeling particularly confident, yet a tendency to please his people, meaning he learns what he should and shouldn’t do rather quickly. Know that he is a shoe enthusiast, though (it’s mostly collecting… not chewing)!

FRISBEE is a big fan of adventure and wants to be a part of the activities you enjoy. Whether it’s exploring new walking routes, playing fetch, or spending time at the cottage, he’s down! This pup can also happily entertain himself. Often, you’ll find him chewing on a bone or figuring out a food puzzle. Like we said, he’s a smarty-pants. When he’s not doing all that, he likes to go on walks (he’s comfortable walking on a leash), where he’s working on keeping his attention on his humans.

FRISBEE has done well learning boundaries, though he will occasionally succumb to his curiosity. How does this show up, you ask? Well, he may sneak into a room he’s not supposed to! Typical cheeky puppy behaviour! We believe he would absolutely thrive in a home with another dog to show him the ropes and people who are keen to give him attention. 

FRISBEE loves to love his human, but he isn’t overbearing. In fact, he’s been progressing with crate training as much as any scruff parent could hope for. He often enjoys lying in a sploot, but when he’s snoozing, you’ll often find him lying on his back! Given how gentle he is, we’re confident he would do well spending time with kids. He’s polite when meeting new people and dogs, if you hadn’t already guessed it!

FETCH - APP IN PROCESS

Male | 7 months old | Medium energy | Hasn’t met kids or cats | Limited exposure to dogs | From Ontario | Fostered in Toronto | Quick learner | Playful & affectionate

This is FETCH. He’s just a scruff who loves nothing more than being by his human’s side all day long! Inside the home is where FETCH is his most confident self. It’s also where he gets the zoomies! It makes sense, then, that inside is where he shows off his playful and even his more affectionate side. That’s certainly something to look forward to.

Highly affectionate, FETCH is getting the hang of this thing called boundaries. He’d much rather be all up in your face, giving you puppy kisses! Not to worry, though. He is just fine when crated, meaning you can rest easy when it’s time to put him to bed at night. Throughout the day, FETCH has his time nicely balanced between crating (his safe space!) and free roaming. Of course, he also goes for a few shorter walks throughout the day. As he gets more comfortable and gains confidence in new surroundings, he may enjoy going on longer neighbourhood tours.

Let’s get into his training. FETCH knows basic commands, is house-trained, and walks well on leash. He’s also food-motivated and is a huge wiggle bum when treats or food of any kind are on the line! Yes, he knows how to listen, but his excitement sure can kick in! A quiet environment where his people help him develop trust at his own pace, with a gentle approach and consistent routine, is what he’s in search of.

FETCH has yet to meet kids and is likely to do best with older, dog-savvy kids for now. Keep in mind that while he has a curious nature and his independence is starting to grow, he is still timid. He’s curious about other dogs, though again, he prefers interacting with those that are calm. He might benefit from living with another dog to help build his confidence.

Think you may have just found your new BFF? Apply to adopt! He’ll be waiting for belly rubs in the meantime.

LUPITA - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 5 years old | 15 pounds | Medium energy | Enjoys meeting other dogs | Coexists with a cat | Hasn’t met kids | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Quirky & loving

Meet LUPITA! She’s a friendly, easy-going gal who has really grown into her quirky self since being in foster care. We’re impressed at just how quickly she became comfortable in a new environment, and love to hear from her foster family that LUPITA is eagerly showing off her best independent self.

This scruff takes her human’s lead. She enjoys going for a few walks a day, and we could see her having fun on a hike if you’re into that kinda’ thing. She’s also got a playful side, and it’s in those moments that she likes to play independently with her toys. Having a lazy Sunday afternoon? She’d be into that too, as she happens to love a good cuddle/nap sesh. Honestly, she’s really just happy to be here and included in your activities.

Like we said earlier, LUPITA is an easy-going gal. Keep in mind, though, that it’s still necessary to set and maintain boundaries as she might test you a bit once she gets comfortable! Since we’re already talking about training, you should know that she’s highly food-motivated. She’s housebroken, crate-trained, and is currently working on the commands down and place.

What else? LUPITA is tolerant of her foster family’s cat (and vice versa!), though this scruff is still learning boundaries and can get a bit too in the cat’s space when excited. She quickly gets the hint that their cat isn’t into it and will carry on. When it comes to dogs, she easily meets and greets them, and for the most part, will typically do her own thing after a brief interaction. And kids? She’d likely enjoy meeting kids as she wags her tail when they pass by, though she’s still working on not jumping when excited!
