Story

Bailey / Female Spayed / 5 Years / Shih Tzu / Dogs: Yes / Cats: Yes / Kids 13+ / Meet Bailey 💖 This sweet soul came to us in November from a puppy mill, a terrified little bundle of fur. Please read her bio carefully, as we are looking for an adoptive home that fits her specific needs. Only select applicants who are a good match will be contacted. Progress has been slow, but we’ve seen so much improvement. Initially she would barely ever leave her crate. Now, she’s comfortable being in the room with people, exploring her surroundings, and showing curiosity—though she’s still quite nervous. Bailey is shy but gentle, and she doesn’t make a peep. She’s incredibly sweet and good-natured. As she becomes more comfortable, she’s growing more curious about the world around her. She enjoys being bathed and groomed, and her fur is incredibly soft. She’s learning to accept gentle petting and seems to like being on the couch, though she hasn’t figured out how to get on or off it yet. Bailey is very friendly and curious about other animals. She would thrive with a confident dog who can show her how to be a dog and guide her. She’s also good with cats! Children, however, would be a bit too much for her, so we’re looking for a quiet, adult-only home where she can feel safe and secure. Though she shows interest in treats, she’s still learning to trust that she can actually take them. She seems to do best with focused, one-on-one attention and will need someone patient who is willing to let her progress at her own pace. Bailey deserves the most perfect home after all the trauma she’s experienced. We are hopeful she will find a home where she can continue to heal and grow. Please share her story and help us find her forever family. 🐾 Bailey is up to date on vaccines and is microchipped. She is spayed and has had a dental cleaning. She is being fostered in Erin.

Story

YODA is currently being fostered in TEXAS. ***Please note that we would prefer to have YODA and SPARKLES adopted together*** Yoda is apx 8 -9 years old and 12 pounds, a shitzu/chihuahua mix. She was an owner surrender with her “sister” Sparkles. We are hoping they can be adopted together but we do want what is best for them and to find the girls an amazing home. Yoda gets a dental on the 23rd. She is a tripod. Yoda does have some cataracts starting in her eyes, some cloudiness and her teeth are awful so she will most likely lose quite a few toofers. Yoda is a bit more nervous than her sister Sparkles. She is good with cats and dogs but no small children please. Yoda is more shy and needs some time to warm up. She is not an aggressive dog just a bit scared and nervous. This is A LOT of change for her. Yoda is a sweet gentle older girl and she needs her forever home to be a place to rest her head, feel love and security.

Story

Dog’s Name: Diego Breed: shih tzu Weight: 15 pounds Gender: male Spayed/neutered: yes Age: 6 Reason for Intake: mill dog Medical (shots etc): up-tp-date Good with dogs: yes Good with cats: ignores them, not issues with cats Good with kids: He is frightened around people and seems overwhelmed. He lived in a barn with other mill dogs his whole life Good with strangers: yes Guarding issues: no Ever bitten a human: no Ever bitten a dog: no Behavioural issues: skittish and needs time to learn this new life; we've seen no aggression Housetrained: Not quite yet but he has been clean in his area at night and will pee and poop outside if we carry him there. He wears a belly band if we are not watching him Crate trained: yes Destructive when left alone: no Barks when left alone: no Leash skills: he really enjoys slow walks Any Handling issues: none Known commands: none Food on now: president's choice. He is a bit scared to eat from the bowl but if I sit beside him on the couch he will finish his meal. He's even learning that my hand usually has a treat for him. Medical issues: old ulcer on his eye but it does not bother him at all and has been checked by the vet. Personality, likes/dislikes: Diego has not been socialized or taught anything. He has lived in a barn his whole life. The world is large, overwhelming and scary for him right now. That being said, he likes people. He is the biggest cuddle bug. He just wants to be near his people. He enjoys being scratched and petted. He's not great walking on laminate floors so he doesn't move around the house very much. If he's not on the couch beside me, he'll sit on the floor at my feet. He likes exploring the backyard, even with all the snow. He likes short walks and car rides. He's curious and wants to learn about his surroundings. Best home scenario: Diego would love a calm family or older couple that are home most of the time. If you put him beside you, he'll stay there all day and night. He gets wiggly to let us know when he wants to go outside. He is a very brave little man who needs a safe place to live out his life. Someone with patience who can show him all the wonderful things live has to offer. He is easy to care for because he doesn't ask for much. A soft bed. Two meals a day. A nice little walk if it's not too cold. A person to snuggle with and show him love. February 17, 2025, 8:52 am

Story

Currently in a Toronto foster home Meet Lodi, a sweet 7-year-old Shih Tzu who has been through a lot in his life, but is ready to shower you with love and cuddles! Once a family companion, Lodi was sadly abandoned, but he’s now looking for a fresh start with a new family to call his own. Lodi recently had a dental cleaning, and though his teeth are a bit worn from his past (he might have chewed on his cage when he was left in a small space), he still eats just fine and doesn’t let anything slow him down. He’s a happy little guy who enjoys every moment! Lodi has a charming little quirk—his one eye is a bit more protruded than usual. The vet thinks he might not have vision in that eye, but his other eye is healthy, and he manages just fine. A few drops of artificial tears every now and then will keep his eye comfortable, and that’s about it! His health is overall great. What truly makes Lodi special is his incredibly gentle, affectionate personality. He’s a quiet soul who rarely barks, and he absolutely loves people! He loves to be near you, soaking up all the love and attention you can give. While he might get a little nervous when you leave (poor guy is still healing from the pain of being abandoned), his sweet nature will melt your heart. Lodi is also very social with other dogs and has no issues with aggression. He’s not the type to steal food from others—he’s happy just being around his friends. He’s a great balance of playful and independent, enjoying both social time and some peaceful moments alone. It seems like Lodi used to live indoors with his previous family, and he’s likely used to potty pads. There might be a few little accidents as he settles into a new home, but with patience, he’ll be a pro at pottying outside in no time! If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who just wants to be surrounded by warmth and kindness, Lodi is your boy. He’s ready to bring endless love, joy, and cuddles into your life!

Story

Romeo, Romeo, where art thou, Romeo? If you're searching for a handsome little guy to steal your heart, look no further! Romeo is a neutered male Shih Tzu with a sweet disposition to match his charming name. Romeo has a few health needs that require special care. He has allergies, which are managed with daily medication and a vegetarian diet. Since starting this routine, his skin has greatly improved, and we've even been able to reduce the frequency of his medicated baths. Romeo also has dry eye and will need daily eye drops long-term to keep him comfortable. Recently, he underwent surgery to remove a mast cell tumor from his leg, and we are awaiting the results to determine if the surgery was fully successful. Romeo is looking for a dedicated and peaceful home where he can spend his golden years surrounded by love and comfort. Could that be with you?
