PAIGE - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 13 years old | 25 pounds | Low energy | Lives with a dog | Older kids preferred | Previously lived with a cat | From Ontario | Fostered in Toronto | Charming, Snack-Lover

It's the moment you’ve all been waiting for! Time for miss PAIGE to start the next chapter of her story and after everything this sweetheart has been through she truly deserves a happily furever after 💕

The SOS community fell instantly in love with this sweet senior beagle, and honestly, we're pretty sure you will too. After all PAIGE has been through, from starting life as a test animal to later ending up in the shelter after her owner sadly passed away, this gal needs a soft landing to spend her golden years surrounded by comfort, care, and all the love she deserves.

PAIGE enjoys short walks and leisurely days of snoozing in and out of her crate. A slower pace is exactly what this gentle girl needs. She’s also perfected the art of stalling on walks for extra attention and pets from admirers along the way. PAIGE will also need fairly frequent bathroom breaks, so a home with someone who works from home or is around often to let her out for quick breaks would be ideal. She even takes her medications like an absolute pro with her mealtimes. No surprise: this girl loooves snack time. Yours, hers, doesn’t matter. A delicious smell is just about the only thing that’ll perk those floppy ears up when PAIGE is off in dreamland.

Her foster family has lovingly compared her to Dolly Parton and now we can’t stop picturing it! They’re both just as lovely, with big personalities, and full of love to give. Now imagine being 80 in those heels and you’ll understand why PAIGE has a little trouble with her balance 💅 A small bump can easily knock her over, so she’ll need older dog-savvy children or calm fur siblings to help keep her safe. PAIGE can also startle awake at times and can need support on the stairs, but keeping her harness and leash on in the house has been helpful for guiding and supporting her.

While PAIGE may be in her senior years now, she’s full of life and SO much charm. When asked what they love most about her, her foster family simply said, “Everything, she’s a dream.” Now all that’s left is to find this angel the loving home she deserves ('with lots of snacks' - from PAIGE).

LUCHI - APP IN PROCESS

Male | 2 years old | 40 pounds | Medium energy | Lives with a dog | Hasn’t met kids | Previously met cats | From Mexico | Fostered in Waterloo | Gentle & sweet

Everyone, meet LUCHI! With those soulful eyes of his, you can sense how sensitive and gentle a fellow he is. With a little patience and guidance, he’s going to make for an incredible companion to have by your side. Since being in his foster’s care, he’s been warming up to his people and showing more affection and tail wags!

Busy figuring out all the things, LUCHI is looking for a confident handler. Might that be you?! His adopter(s) should know that he walks well on leash, though he can be easily frightened. Sudden new sounds and movements can startle him, and his response is typically to exit the scenario. Having defined boundaries as well as a set routine in place both set him up for success and will be necessary going forward. You’ll love to know that he’s both place- and house-trained, and not to brag or anything, but it only takes him a few minutes to settle at night in his crate!

LUCHI has been enjoying his walks, as evident in his tail wags! He also finds joy in sniffing all the smells in calm outdoor environments. When he’s inside, he’s a big fan of lounging near his people, though his chill energy may increase as he becomes even more comfortable. Only just starting to show an interest in playing with toys, we can share that he likes chewing sticks! 

Give him some time to warm up, and then he might even accept a little affection from you! He’s food-motivated, and in time will be happy to accept a treat or two. You’ll be impressed at how gently he accepts them. As gentle as he is, he’ll likely do best with dog-savvy kids in an effort to limit startling him. LUCHI does just fine coexisting with other dogs and has also shown the same temperament with cats in a prior home. He currently lives with a resident dog, and while he has yet to meet many new scruffs, the interactions he has had have been neutral in a good way!
