#1458 Sam

I got Sam when he was 16 months. Within a few minutes of his arriving at my home, he searched the apartment and brought me a pack of Kleenex. I didn’t quite get what that was for at first, but it didn’t take long before I realized that he never does anything for no reason. For example, if he has...

#1468 Bronson

Bronson came to us in August 2010 as a foster from a “breeding facility”. He had not been socialized, had separation anxiety issues, was able to escape out of any crate, jump any barrier (or bull through it if he had to) and was extremely fearful of loud noises. He had no idea what a leash was and cowered at...

Quincy was a stray and came to us after we filled out an application at the Bala Cranberry Festival in October 2010. We already had two dogs, our alpha male Chico who is a 10 lb maltese poodle cross and a 20 lb Jack Russell Terror. So Quincy has had a lot of help growing up and tries to please...

He was raised by an obviously loving family who were unable to keep him due to an allergy and was taken into an equally loving foster family’s home. We lost our other...

#1502 Molly

We brought Molly home from her lovely foster home in Ajax last January. She had been rescued a few months prior and we could only imagine what she must have looked like. By January she was on the mend thanks to the love she received by her foster family, but she was still under weight and weak. When we picked...

#1508 Cooper

Cooper #1508 (left) came to us just before Christmas 2010. We adopted him just a few weeks after losing our old golden girl, Georgia. It was such a huge hole to fill, perhaps it was appropriate that he was 40 lbs overweight. Even though he couldn’t even roll on his back, he was happy to start chasing squirrels and playing...

#1511 Squirt

This is one of my favourite pictures of Squirt…he is totally in his element…loves to be outside and playing with his ball…he got an overdose of the “retriever”gene. He’s a very well balanced dog. Nothing much fizzes on him and he loves to play.…
