My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Riley | 11 weeks | GTA

You know how puppies are so so cute, but also kind of chaotic? They draw you in with their giant puppy dog eyes, but also act like little terrors? Well, Riley is all of the puppy cute with none of the puppy chaos!

This little gal is so chill and calm. She just wants to be loved and follows you into whatever room you're in to peacefully watch what you're up to. She just wants to be loved and soaks up pets and cuddles like a little sponge. She's also content to rest quietly on her own when you're out or busy. She enjoys playing with her little toys and is learning fetch, but after doing a bit of exploring at the park she's happy to just lay on the grass and people watch with her person. She's always excited to meet people and other dogs, and is determined to catch a pigeon one day.

Riley is also super smart. She's getting used to her crate, and learned the "sit" command easily. She's currently working on "lay down" and waiting before eating. If you tell her to stop before crossing the street, she will sit and wait patiently until you're ready to proceed.

Riley is basically a dream puppy. Sweet, snuggly, and eager to learn. Calm and companionable. If you want this puppy to get out of your dreams and into your home, apply via https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application

More about this rescue

We are a small group of volunteers trying to help local and international rescuers who desperately need help to rehome their dogs. It started as a fundraising effort to help them with vet costs and food so they could help more strays on the street. However, rescue is not complete without a forever home and they were overwhelmed with so many dogs and no homes to send them to. There are so many sweet, loving and friendly dogs and along with fundraising, we hope to find homes for their dogs so they can continue to help more.
