NORA - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 2 years old | 67 pounds | Medium energy | Hasn’t met kids, cats or many dogs | From Manitoba | Fostered in Burlington | Affectionate & cautiously confident

Have you met the sweet, lovebug pups, ACE & NUGGET? Cause they absolutely got it from their mama - meet NORA! 💖

Found starving alongside her babes and only two years young herself, NORA has already been through more than any scruff should. Yet despite all that, this resilient girl hasn’t lost even a touch of her sparkle.

Just like her sweet boys, affection might as well be NORA’s middle name. This snuggly 67-pound baby girl would happily crawl right into your lap for kisses if she could fit. Her foster family lovingly compares her to Scooby-Doo: goofy, friendly, loyal, a teeny bit dramatic (she can talk!), and brave until genuinely spooked - ruh-roh!

While her love for her humans knows no bounds, NORA does prefer slower introductions. She hasn’t met many cats or dogs, and may freeze and tuck her tail when she spots a bigger dog across the street. Outside she’ll greet unfamiliar people cautiously, but at home, expect her signature big grin, happy tail wags, and if especially excited, the occasional jump (though she is listening to the reminder to keep all four-on-the-floor!).

NORA is also completely crate-trained, great in the car and on stairs, and is a wonderful walking buddy. She loves to stay close to you and take it all in. The only thing you’ll have to keep an eye out for are very fluffy distractions. A bunny might be a little too irresistable, but with continued support we’re confident she’ll learn to redirect.

Think you’ve got the love to give this mama bear the relief she needs to be a regular ol’ scruff? Apply to adopt!

ACE - APP IN PROCESS

Male | ~3 months old | ~20 pounds & growing | Puppy energy | Has met kids | Hasn’t met dogs or cats | From Manitoba | Fostered in Toronto | Very loving & learning lots

Ready to meet the top dog? This is ACE. With so much zest for life, his puppy energy is truly infectious! As a rambunctious pup, dive-bombing into his humans to give out kisses is absolutely one of his preferred pastimes. 

Bringing a puppy into your life is a lifestyle change, for sure. That said, you’re the one reading his bio, so we like to think that you’re already intrigued by this and possibly already looking for ways to adapt to having a young scruff in the home! A few things to note: regular supervision while he’s out of his crate is a must. He’s eager to please, though he’s still young, so obviously he’s interested in getting into some mischief here and there!

You could say that ACE is an ACE at sleeping through the night. Even during the day, he has dedicated downtime in his crate for a nap after all of his activity. When he’s not catching some Zzz’s, he’s typically busy working on tricks for treats. He already knows how to shake a paw, sit and lie down. Oh, and his recall is quite good, too!

Still teething, ACE nips when excited, which is something to note when introducing him to more kids. ACE also seems interested in meeting dogs, though he has yet to have any face-to-face interactions with them. What else can we share? Well, just that he finds joy in bringing his toys everywhere… so you’ll definitely find them in the kitchen, the living room, the hallway… really, you name it! We think it’s pretty sweet!
