HUEY - APP IN PROCESS

Male | 1.5 years old | 34 pounds | Medium energy | Good with kids | Good second dog | No cats, please! | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Sweet & rambunctious

Meet HUEY! This curious, bouncy little guy is here to find his best friend(s)! HUEY is a distemper survivor, which means he has a subtle twitch on his jaw, though he’s now fully healed. He’s the kind of pup who looks at you like he’s got a secret quest lined up, which is fitting, since he’s named after Hueycoatl, the fiery dragon boss from RuneScape. Don’t worry, though, this scruff’s missions are more about stealing hearts (and maybe some couch space) than fighting dragons.

Crate trained, great in an apartment, and besties with his SOS alum foster sister, HUEY is adjusting incredibly to city life. He'd be happy to continue living in the hustle and bustle or enjoy the green space of the suburbs.

HUEY has met kids of several ages (including a newborn!) and enjoyed their company. You just have to keep an eye on him around their snacks and toys. His foster is happy to chat strategy if you are up for the challenge! Adult-only home? That's his current situation, and he loves the attention he gets! At the end of the day, it’s all about setting boundaries and remaining consistent.

HUEY’s down for whatever the day brings. Early morning hikes? Sure. Lazy sleep-ins? Also yes. Busy workdays? No problem, he’s cool hanging in his crate for a work day. On any given day, he enjoys 1-1.5 hours of walks plus some play time. He loves longer hikes or walks when time allows! We see glimpses of a calm dog and think he'll chill out as he gets older.

If you’re looking for a companion who’s smart, loyal, a little cheeky, and always up for the next adventure, HUEY’s your guy. He may share a name with a RuneScape boss, but he’s really just out here conquering hearts, one cuddle at a time.

MELI - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 3 years old | 28 pounds | Medium energy | Previously lived with dogs | Hasn’t met cats or kids | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Friendly & affectionate

Meet MELI. Three years old, and this rescue scruff from Mexico is now living in Toronto and looking for her new best friend, AKA her forever family! To share some words from her foster family, “MELI has been such a joy to have in our lives. She has grown so confident in such a short amount of time…there is no doubt in my mind she will be the best friend you have ever had.”

Life with MELI lately has involved three walks a day with time to rest in between, as well as training sessions sprinkled throughout the day. She quickly adapted to house training and easily settles in her crate at night. Her fosters have found that MELI is doing really well with basic training, and while teaching her individual commands is a slow and steady process, she is now doing well with sit, come, down… and more!

While she previously lived with other dogs, MELI is working on how she approaches dogs in her new environment. You may notice that she tends to pull towards them in excitement, wanting to play with all potential friends. She’s also busy working on leash training (know that she shows some prey drive towards squirrels), and we love to hear that her foster fam is celebrating each of her wins!

MELI is a sweetheart who loves her cuddles and pets. She happily settles at her human’s feet, and, when she’s feeling adventurous, her curiosity has her exploring all smells while out on walks. She’s learning to play with toys and, we’ll have you know, is an expert at dog yoga—her stretches are impressive! Apply to adopt!

NOW - APP IN PROCESS

Male | 1.5 years old | 55 pounds | Medium energy | Has met kids and teens | Lives with a dog | Hasn’t met cats | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Loyal 

He’s got the best swooshy tail wags, and his happy-go-lucky personality is infectious. It’s delightful, to say the least, and his happy little snorts are, in fact, the best. This is NOW.

We love how much he loves seeing his people first thing in the morning, and the confidence he’s gained over the last little while is great to see. His morning zoomies in the backyard are hilarious to watch, but if you want a lazy morning, he’ll happily keep you company with a book or Netflix.

NOW took a while to get the hang of walks. He’s now obsessed and ready to go anytime someone puts their shoes on! Big trucks and buses are a bit intimidating, though he’s mastered garbage day. His bum wiggles while out on his walks might just be your new favourite thing! Inside the home, NOW is chill and enjoys playing with his toys. His foster’s resident dog is his bestie, and NOW is respectful while playing and understands that any silliness needs to happen outside.

NOW is shy with younger kids, and on the whole, needs some time to warm up to people. With those he learns to trust, he’s a fiercely loyal dog. If you’re looking for a quiet canine companion who loves to love his people, well, you’re in the right place. Apply to adopt!
