DAISY - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 6 years old | 43 pounds | Low energy | Previously lived with dogs | Hasn’t met kids or cats | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Affectionate & friendly 

This is DAISY. A lovely dog looking for an equally lovely home. A girl who thrives on companionship and finds joy in meeting both people and dogs alike. You should know that she happens to be the world’s biggest cuddle bug. So. Interested in adopting her already? You should be!

If there’s one thing her foster fam could humble brag about, it would be leash training. Sure, it might be game over if DAISY here catches sight of a squirrel, BUT she’s otherwise made great strides and walks well at a heel beside her person. Speaking of walks, she currently enjoys a few short walks each day, which seems to suit her well. When not out and about, she prefers to relax or nap near her humans as opposed to playing with puzzles or toys. She’s a fan of downtime, that’s for sure!

DAISY would make a good second dog or solo as the center of attention. That said, she does love interacting with other dogs, so living with them could be fun! She’s gentle and overall a chill dog, leading us to believe she’d do well in a home with children and maybe even with a cat. Time will tell!

Her being such a sweetheart is what can make it difficult not to give in to those puppy dog eyes of hers. It’s still important to maintain a consistent routine, plus she responds well to repetition and positive reinforcement. Otherwise, you can expect DAISY to continue working on crate training as she transitions into a new living environment. One other thing: this girl is a full-body tail wagger. As soon as she hears you coming, it’s not just her tail that wags, it’s her whole being. It’s the kind of greeting that melts hearts and makes coming home feel extra special!

CHICO - APP IN PROCESS

Male l 12 years old | 9 lbs | Chihuahua l Social guy l People + treats over everything l Affectionate, Cuddly, & Loyal l Fostered in Hamilton

Meet Chico – the Steve Buscemi-eyed sweetheart! Chico may be a senior, but he’s full of love, charm, and curiosity. He settled into foster care quickly and is well-socialized. While he’s not into toys or playtime, he coexists peacefully with other dogs, especially senior or calm ones. He would do just fine with a cat too.

This tiny guy lives for human company. He’s happiest when snuggled up next to someone and will follow you around like a shadow. He does struggle with separation anxiety, particularly if crated or left alone, so a home with someone around most of the time (or patient adopters willing to work through this) would be ideal. Crating at night or during long absences may lead to loud protest crying.

Chico loves walks both short and long and regular strolls have helped strengthen his back legs. He occasionally holds up his back left leg due to muscle atrophy (not in pain). Despite some stiffness, he remains mobile, happy, and eager to explore the world one sniff at a time.

He’s polite on leash, though selective about which dogs he wants to greet. Around people, however, he shines—he’s been calm and friendly even in crowds and busy areas, happily soaking up attention from respectful kids and adults alike.

Chico has three teeth (perf for an adorb smile), and a bit of age-related cloudiness in his eyes (lenticular sclerosis), which doesn’t affect his vision much. Regular vet visits will help keep an eye on any changes.

Fun fact: Chico forages for strawberries on his fosters property like a big looking for truffles. Hide your strawberries if you don’t want to share!

His perfect home? One filled with love, patience, and someone he can nap beside. Whether it's a retired person, a work-from-home household, or a quiet family, if you've got a spot on the couch and a soft blanket, Chico’s ready to move in. Chico is affectionate, cuddly and loyal. He's a great companion. With a person or family that can provide walks, soft beds, liver treats, ice cream (special note from his foster haha), and attention he'll be your one.

LANDONIS - APP IN PROCESS

Male | 4.5 months old | 21 pounds & growing! | Puppy energy | Limited exposure to dogs | Not cat tested | Good with kids ~5+ | From Cayman Islands | Fostered in Maple

With a name like LANDONIS, you’d expect a bit of charm—and this sleek adventurer delivers! Like a certain suave space pilot you may have heard of (Hey, Star Wars fans), LANDONIS has big charisma, a love of excitement, and a loyal streak that makes him unforgettable.

This handsome Caribbean pup has settled beautifully into life in the suburbs. He’s playful, goofy, and affectionate in his own cool-dog way. He’s crate trained, sleeps through the night, and is nearly house trained—just still figuring out how to ask politely when nature calls!

LANDONIS thrives on routine, long walks, fetch, and hanging out wherever his humans are. He’s doing well learning commands like “wait” and “cross,” and he’s picking things up quickly—especially when treats are involved. He’s great with people, including kids, though he can get a bit too excited sometimes, with the occasional jump or playful nip. A calm, structured environment helps him settle and shine.

He’d love a home with a backyard (or plenty of access to the great outdoors) with people who are around often or eager to include him in their everyday adventures. He might enjoy a dog buddy and definitely needs an outlet for his energy and curiosity.

LANDONIS is equal parts fun and sweet, with just enough rogue to keep life interesting. If you’re looking for a loyal co-pilot who’s ready to explore the galaxy—or at least your local park—he might be your perfect match.

MOKI - APP IN PROCESS

Male | ~4 months old | 12 pounds & growing! | Puppy energy | Hasn’t met kids or cats | Previously lived with dogs | Fostered in Toronto | Friendly & smart

Meet MOKI AKA your future adventure buddy and cuddle companion!

MOKI is a bright, affectionate pup with energy to spare. He’s got SO much love to give. He’s playful and goofy, zooming around with his toys, but when it’s time to wind down, he succumbs to a good cuddle, often snuggling his favourite duck toy while catching some Zzz’s.

With his energy level, MOKI would thrive in a home that’s already active. He’s a fan of his walks, especially in the park, and also enjoys a good hike. MOKI is food-motivated, eager to learn, and thrives on positive reinforcement. He’s a curious young explorer with a nose for treats (seriously, hide them anywhere—he’ll find them in minutes!). 

In the care of his foster family, he’s already learned basic commands. Yes, he’s that smart! He’s learned sit, paw, and spin… just to name a few! He’s still working on leash-walking skills, and you may notice that he’s interested in sniffing out all the smells and trying to catch the best glimpse of any and all wildlife. While MOKI has yet to meet dogs with his current foster, he has shown some curiosity towards them when passing on walks and also previously lived with three other dogs.

This pup has shown some apprehensiveness with new sounds (think loud trucks and noisy vacuuming). With a little practice and patience, his confidence will grow. He’s definitely not shy with new people, though, which is something his foster family can confirm! With that in mind, know that at least for now, MOKI will do best with older, dog-savvy kids who understand that his excitement may lead to jumping while he’s still learning the ropes.

If you're looking for a loyal and loving companion, MOKI just might be your perfect match. Apply to adopt!

Here’s what we know about JUDITH: she’s curious, smart, and affectionate. Having recently moved from Mexico to Canada, JUDITH is busy learning what it means to feel safe and loved in a new living environment. Sudden movements and loud noises can make her pause, though with a little patience, she becomes more comfortable. You’ll soon see that she’s slowly but surely blossoming into the sweet, silly girl she is. In her foster’s care, she’s been building confidence, which is something we love to see!

Toys, puzzle games, and tug-of-war are some of this scruff’s favourite activities. Once playtime is over, she’s happy to curl up nearby and be close to her people. While she might take some time to warm up to people initially, she really does have a deep desire to connect. She’s also got a fun, goofy streak and a strong desire to explore! Oh, and yes, she also continues to work on leash training.

She thrives with another calm, confident dog who can show her the ropes and share in the fun. Her ideal home would be just as calm, with adults or older kids who can offer guidance, their time to play, and the chance for adventure. Know that she’s curious but cautious when meeting new dogs and prefers to meet them at her own pace.

Overall, having a consistent routine in place with JUDITH is key, as it helps create predictability throughout her day. If you're looking for a dog who’ll make you laugh and quietly steal your socks—JUDITH is ready to meet you. Ready for your next great love story? Apply to adopt JUDITH.
