Every hero needs a sidekick… mine just happens to be extra cuddly
They call me : Bucky
Predicted Breed: Poodle mix
Sex: Neutered male
Approximate Age: 3 year
Weight: 15 Lbs.
Rescued from: California
Likes: Bucky is such a sweet and affectionate dog. He learns quickly, he remembers and follows house rules.
Bucky likes people and animal company, but wants to be the focus of one special person. He is good with other dogs, and has become more playful as he has settled in. He would like to sit on the sofa to bark at everything that goes by the window, but has accepted that he does not have that privilege anymore. He loves to go outside, and will roll in the snow. He is very engaged, and will follow me everywhere. He loves his food but is not jealous about it. He loves his Emotional Support Stuffy, which we call ESSie. He picks up ESSie and carries it to us when he needs solace. He comes with me every time I get up.
He likes to be touched and patted
Dislikes: Bucky sometimes still follows cats, hoping they will play with him. When they hiss or run away, he will pick up his Emotional Support Stuffy (ESSie) to get over his disappointment. He also goes to his Stuffie when corrected for barking.
When he goes outside he does not like dogs barking/neighbours talking/garbage truck/squirrels and barks at them. He understands that I will make him go inside when he does.
Ideal Home: He would do well in most homes however due to his occasional barking, we would recommend detached housing only.
Detached home, Senior home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: Medium

From chevy's Foster:
Her favorite things in the world are a warm blanket, a cozy pillow, and a good meal, she’s very food-motivated, which makes earning her trust that much easier. Between long, peaceful naps, Chevy has adorable little bursts of energy that will make you smile.
The world can feel like a big, scary place for Chevy, so she’s looking for a calm, understanding home with someone who will move at her pace and give her the reassurance she needs. In return, she’ll give you quiet companionship and unwavering loyalty.
Chevy is wonderful with other dogs and cats and tends to pick one special friend to become instant BFFs with.
If you’re someone with patience, a soft spot for gentle souls, and plenty of cozy spots to nap, Chevy might just be your perfect match

Short legs, big dreams
They call me : Maci

Approximate Age: 4.5 year
Weight: 17 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Loves being outside. Walks.
Dislikes: Sudden movement and loud noises

House trained, Needs basic training, Walks on leash
From Maci's Foster:
I can’t say enough good things about this sweet girl. She is truly an awesome dog—gentle, loving, and so deserving of a family who will see just how special she is.
Maci responds so beautifully to gentleness and patience. When you speak softly to her and offer a kind hand, her whole body relaxes, and you can see her trust starting to grow. She just needs a little time and a lot of love to come out of her shell.
Yes, she can be skittish at first—new sights and sounds startle her now and then. But here’s what I want you to know: she is not aggressive. Not one bit. That wariness is just fear, never meanness.
When she’s outside, everything changes. Maci loves being outdoors. Walks are her happy place—ears up, nose working, tail wagging. If you’re looking for a walking buddy who will soak up every minute of fresh air with you, she’s your girl.
She’s looking for a calm, loving home where someone will give her the patience to bloom. In return, she’ll give you a loyalty and sweetness that words can’t quite capture.
Could that be you?

Sex: spayed female
Approximate Age: 3.5 year
Weight: 8 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Cuddles from foster momy, snacks, walks, for toys she LOVES balls.

Ideal Home: She would be best in a quiet home. She does not bark in the home therefore would be suitable for attached housing however she does need a home with a yard. Given her reactivity to being handled, we would not recommend children in the home.

not just a sandwich, also a great dog!
They call me : Reuben
Predicted Breed: Poodle mix.
Sex: Neutered male
Approximate Age: 6 years
Weight: 14 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Rueben likes to look out the window, snuggle, belly rubs, outside exploring, and naps (especially with his human) treats, good morning zoomies, and nice weather.
Dislikes: Snow, leashes, blankets on him, toys (very scary) doorways, sudden movements, being alone, change.
Ideal Home: He would like a home with consistency and someone who can help him learn to be braver. A note from the foster: Reuben is completely uninterested in Cats so even with 2 cats here it's very harmonious living. I had my very busy loud family over at Easter and he was mostly interested in getting treats. Keep in mind my family is well trained in going slow with dogs. He does bark for strangers and makes a little fuss when he is left at home alone but settles in and stops barking after a little time.
Detached home, Senior home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: Low
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: Yes
Medical Needs: It has been recommended to have him on a hypoallergenic diet as he seems to have some skin issues at this time
Training Needs: Rueben is just starting to find his bravery, he is very good at coming when you call him and he just wants to please you but seems to be worried about making a mistake. If you keep his leash completely loose he will take little steps with you, but will resist immediately if there is any tension on the leash. He is very very smart and wants to please his people so he is a fast learner when he is feeling safe. He doesn't understand what pee pads are and does his best to hold it in the house and is very happy to go outside to go to the bathroom and does great zoomies when he has finished, so I think he is housetrained and will give indication of his needs if given time and praise.
Knows other commands, House trained, Barks indoors, Shy, Fearful
From reuben's Foster:
MReuben is very sweet and gentle with everyone he meets. He loves to snuggle and gives belly rub approval with the most adorable doggie moans. He will be your best friend and happily accompany you wherever you go. He has perfected the "biiggg stretch" move and will perform it every time he is greeted. Forget toys, naps and treats are his 2 favorite things, so if you are looking for a laid back, loyal, bed hog, that loves a little neighborhood gossip, he is the one for you.

Shy, but worth the wait for a tail wag
They call me : Seus (Zeus)
Predicted Breed: Terrier mix.
Sex: Neutered male
Approximate Age: 2 years
Weight: 17 Lbs.
Rescued from: Mexico
Likes: Cuddles (especially morning cuddles), fetch, jumping and climbing, food (extremely food-motivated), play (dual food + play drive), sniff walks, being close to his person, beef sausage (jackpot), hot dog, cheese, boiled chicken, salmon. Rollerblading, chilling, chewing, white noise machine,
Dislikes: Unpredictable approaches from strangers, being touched without warming up first, sudden movements toward him, people entering his space quickly
Ideal Home: Seus will require a patient adopter who will introduce him slowly to new people. Building his confidence will be key to his success. He does bark inside and we would recommend detached housing as a result. The foster has found a white noise machine which has been effective in keeping Seus from barking.
Detached home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: High
Experience with Kids: recommend only Children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: unknown
Medical Needs: none
Training Needs: He knows several commands. Will need work on his confidence around strangers.
Knows sit, Knows stay, Knows other commands, House trained, Crate trained, Barks indoors, Barks outdoors, Prey drive, Nippy, Shy, Fearful, Chews, Walks on leash
From Seus's Foster:
Meet Seus! A charismatic, whip-smart Chi mix with a gorgeous long-haired coat and the most expressive eyes you've ever seen. This little guy is a seriously fast learner — he picked up sit, stay, and tug of war and was fully potty trained all within two weeks. He even learned to rollerblade alongside his foster parent! Seus went from not being able to handle an elevator with strangers to happily taking chicken from people and sniffing their shoes in just three weeks. That's the kind of dog he is, brave underneath it all, and once he trusts you, he's all in. He's silly, fun, and has a protective streak that makes you feel like you've got your own little bodyguard. Seus is both food-motivated AND play-motivated, which makes every training session a blast. He loves fetch, morning cuddles, sniff walks, and being right next to his person. He's fully house-trained, crate-trained, and thrives in condo living. Seus is looking for an active person who'll give him the time to show them just how amazing he is. It won't take long — this dog will steal your heart.
I will love You Vera Much
They call me : Vera
Predicted Breed: Chi mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 5.5 year
Weight: 9 Lbs.
Rescued from: California, USA
Likes: Vera loves to go on walks and adventures. She enjoys cuddling and hanging with her human friends. Vera enjoys her snuffle matt and is learning to play. Likes to hang out with cat friend and is curious about their day.
Dislikes: She is not a fan of the snow and cold weather, she doesn't enjoy sharing a bed or space with other dogs
Ideal Home: Quiet home, Active home, Senior home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: medium
Experience with Kids: Older kids or no kids recommended
Experience with cats: yes
Medical Needs: none
Training Needs: Vera is displaying resourcing guarding of her humans and affection, she will growl at other dogs and will on occasion lunge at other dogs. Vera does not resource guard her food but will resource guard high value items like bones. Vera is doing ok with her house training but is very reluctant when it's cold outside. You can tell she knows what to do but doesn't want to go outside when the weather is not great. Vera is a also a bit nervous when you try to put on sweaters and harnesses over her head. Patience and certain gear helps with this.
Needs basic training, Protective, Walks on a leash
From Vera's Foster:
Vera is such a sweet velcro dog who is loving all the attention she is getting in her new life. She is a quiet pup who loves to go on walks and adventures but is also content to just hang out with you at home and snuggle on the couch.
Vera would thrive in a home as an only dog but would be ok in a home with other dogs if the adopter is experienced. She definitely at time has the chihuahua sass!
Vera loves my cat and I have often caught her snuggling up with her.
Vera has so much love and affection to give and can't wait to find her fur-ever family.

Three legs, endless love.
They call me : Zafiro
Predicted Breed: Chihuahua terrier mix.
Sex: Spayed female
Approximate Age: 2 year
Weight: 12 Lbs.
Rescued from: Mexico
Likes: She likes being with her person/people, playing with toys (especially playing fetch), treats, food, love and attention (pets, kisses, cuddles). She loves to play with the other dogs in the home, and also loves to play independently/with her people. She loves meal times. She loves to sleep next to/on her person.
Dislikes: She does not like her crate or being left alone
Ideal Home: Zafiro would like a home that her people are home more. She will cry and bark when left therefore a detached home is required. She will fit in well with most homes. She still has a lot of puppy energy and a confident dog may help her learn. Although another dog in the home is not a requirement.
Detached home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Energy Level: high
Experience with Kids: unknown
Experience with cats: unknown
Medical Needs: Zafiro is a tripod! She is very acclimated to only having 3 legs but she is still very puppy like and can be quite clumsy sometimes.
Training Needs: Zafiro is such a smart dog, she's learning different commands (sit, stay). She is doing great with learning to go to the bathroom outside, but does still have the occasional accident inside (especially out of excitement after longer periods of being left alone). She is making great progress with crate training and sleeps through the night in her crate. She walks pretty well on a leash and will likely do great with this as she gains confidence outside, certain noises and such just make her nervous. She is nervous in crowds and so needs work on socialization with people. While being introduced to new people in our home she has been initially quite fearful and will bark a lot, but has shown improvement with this once she becomes familiar with the new people she has met.
Knows sit, Knows other commands, Needs basic training, Barks indoors, Walks on leash
From Zafiro's Foster:
Zafiro is the sweetest, most loving and playful pup. Having one less leg has not slowed her down. She is extremely friendly with people and wants to be with her person at all times. She loves to give kisses, and she is ready to play with anyone or any dog at anytime. She is such an amazing dog, so smart, and so ready to love and be loved by her forever family.
