MIRA - APP IN PROCESS

Mira | Female | Born April 15 | Shepherd/Husky mix | Expected adult weight: 50–70 lbs | Currently fostered in Winnipeg | Flying to Toronto mid/late July | Looking for an adopter

Introducing Mira, a gorgeous toffee brown Shepherd/Husky mix with an irresistible face and an even sweeter personality. This little girl is playful, affectionate, and always eager to be part of whatever is happening around her. From chasing toys to soaking up cuddles, Mira embraces every moment with joyful puppy enthusiasm.

Currently being fostered in Winnipeg, Mira is expected to travel to Toronto in mid to late July. Her future family should be prepared to welcome her home directly from the airport once her flight is scheduled.

Expected to reach 50–70 lbs as an adult, Mira will grow into an active, intelligent dog who'll enjoy learning, exploring, and spending time with her family. As she's still very young, she's just beginning her journey of learning house manners, leash skills, and all the other important lessons that come with puppyhood. With consistency, positive reinforcement, and lots of affection, she'll become a wonderful lifelong companion.

Named after a heroine from K-Pop Demon Hunters, Mira is ready to bring a little adventure—and a whole lot of love—to her forever home.

TESSA - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 3 years old | 40 pounds | Medium-low energy | Solo dog | Hasn’t met kid or cats, likely best with no cats | Great apartment dog | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | A great companion, building confidence & smart!

Meet TESSA, a very sweet, yet cautious momma scruff. Her past shelter experience has given her wisdom beyond her years and has also left her needing to build her confidence in new situations. TESSA has shown incredible growth in her short time in Toronto and has started blossoming into a girl who trusts her humans, responding well to strong leadership. She now easily goes up and down the stairs and leaves the house for walks.

TESSA has grown to love long walks and spending time outside, including assuming the belly-up position in the grass. Yes, she loves a belly rub! TESSA is a fan of affection, wanting to be next to her person all the time. With this in mind, she is learning boundaries and understanding that personal space does not involve jumping!

TESSA continues to adjust to life in Toronto, and loud noises and bright lights can still be a bit overwhelming for her. Know that the trust she has in her people is what informs her confidence. So give her some time, and you’ll see, just like her foster family has, how much she can progress! 

Inside the home, TESSA has shown some territorial behaviour when meeting new people and dogs. While she works on this, TESSA should be the only dog in the home. 

While TESSA doesn’t yet quite understand toys, she does love to collect shoes, socks, and hats in her bed! Her energy is currently low, but as she becomes more comfortable, she shows more energy. You’ll notice this when zoomies begin after dinner! These bursts of excitement are likely to turn into continued interest in both play and exercise. 

TESSA is sweet, smart and would make for a wonderful companion. Apply to adopt!

NUGGET - APP IN PROCESS

Male | ~3 months old | 20 pounds & growing | Medium energy | Has met some kids | Hasn’t met cats or dogs | From Manitoba | Fostered in Oakville | Gentle & loving

Chaos NUGGET, emotional support NUGGET, either way, this scruffy pup is a certified NUGGET! Just about three months old, NUGGET is a goofy, social, funny-without-trying kinda pal who’s quietly curious and working his hardest on learning all the things (or at least some of the things!) while awaiting his future family to adopt him.

To begin, this young pup is attention-seeking, but like, in a nice way! He is eager to please and, with words of affirmation being one of his love languages, will do his best to show off what he knows. Sure, he can be easily distracted… but bring some treats with you into a training session, and his attention will (more or less) be on you! 

Evidently, NUGGET has some serious NUGGET energy. He loves to chew things he probably shouldn’t, meaning a watchful eye is necessary… as are implementing and sticking to boundaries. You likely already guessed that this pup doesn’t often sit still. You’d be correct! That is, unless he’s unwinding in his crate for a nap. He loooves his naps. But gosh, on the flip side, does he ever love to run when he’s awake! Fetch, chase, the occasional zoomies, you name it, and he’s likely a fan!

NUGGET is a social scruff who looks forward to making new human friends. We can totally see him growing up to be a family dog full of playful personality with a healthy dose of confidence. He’s yet to meet both cats and dogs up close and personal, and for now quietly watches them from afar. With young kids, he’s gentle and happy to sit with them. I mean, obviously, because this often gets him a compliment, which he totally can’t resist! Words of affirmation, remember?!

Ready to adopt the nuggetest NUGGET to ever NUGGET? Love to hear it.
