Story
Hi, I’m Ella! I’m a 10-month-old pup with a gentle heart and a slightly shy spirit. I didn’t get much socialization when I was younger, so the world still feels a little big and confusing to me. But if you bring some tasty treats and give me a little time, I’ll start to trust you—and once I do, my true puppy self comes bursting out! When I’m comfortable, I’m all wiggles and bounces. I leap into your lap for love, dance around with excitement, and act like the happy, silly puppy I’ve always wanted to be. I just need someone patient to help me feel safe enough to shine. I’m looking for a home where someone is around often, because being alone still makes me nervous. I’d like to be the only dog, but I’ve shown I can be playful with cats. Mostly, I just need a human who has the time to help me learn about the world—someone who will train me, socialize me, and love me through every step of my growing up. If you’re gentle, understanding, and ready to help a shy girl blossom, I promise I’ll give you all the love and loyalty in my little puppy heart.

Story
Pelusa | 40 lbs | 2 years old| Fun and affectionate personality | GTA Stop scrolling-- you just found your new best friend. And the twist? She's gorgeous! Pelusa is fun, affection and good vibes on four legs. Do you like adventures? Omg same! Do you enjoy playing with toys, balls, and sticks? Say less. Are you partial to an evening snuggle? Sign her up! Are you interested in having a faithful shadow? Is it cool if she's furry? We've got just the girl. Pelusa is a delight. She gives hugs by wrapping her arms around your legs, plays with toys like it's her paid job, and is game for pretty much anything her family wants to do. She is great on hikes and outdoor adventures, could happily come with you to pet friendly workplaces, and is also happy to chill on the couch at the end of the day. She's confident and adaptable, and responds well to direction. If you love dogs, have an active lifestyle, and are open to a loyal and slightly goofy sidekick, then this dog could light up your whole life. She's so much fun that she makes everything better just by being there. She would do well with a person or family who is energetic and home a fair bit. She's dog friendly so she'd be a great second dog, but is probably a little TOO much fun for a senior or a lower energy dog. She's kid friendly but would prefer a house with children over 10 who can appreciate her bouncy, lovable brand of play. With Pelusa in your life, your main problem will be how often you're stopped by people admiring her beautiful looks and infectious personality. This is what you sign up for when you choose such a magnetic BFF! If you think you've got the big and open heart to match Pelusa's, then please apply at the link. Please note: Matching Best Friends sweaters are not included.: https://form.jotform.com/pawsacrossthewater/adoption-application

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.NYX hails from the Northern community of Fort Severn and came south to find her forever home. She’s received her first 2 sets of vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and has been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. She was part of a litter of 6 puppies but this rescue only received the last remaining one. We have no information on her parents so the size she’ll grow to be or her breeds are just an educated guess. When people meet her they always say what breeds is she and why is she so small; the reply is a Border Collie/Husky mix (judging by what she looks like) whose been put in a shrinking machine. Se have no idea why she’s so small but it shouldn’t be assumed she’ll be a small dog. She’s an active little lady who loves to run around and play with her toys and also chew on her many toys and with her sharp little teeth, she needs to have lots of chewy toys like Nyla bones to chew on.  NYX is crate trained and sleeps quietly in it at night and she’ll also nap in it during the day too. House training is going really well and she’s very good at letting you know when she has to go out. Every time she’s taken out for a bathroom break she’ll go so she’s really catching on to what’s expected of her when she has an trip outside. She loves going on walks and gets excited when she knows she’s going on one. Like all puppies though she’ll race ahead of you and pull you along. She has very good manners at meal times and will sit nicely for them and also take her treats “gentle.” NYX’ ideal family would be an active one that loves to go on hikes and walks plus will take her on little adventures especially seeing as she travels so well in a vehicle. She’ll do well in a home with other dogs as she’s fostered with several of them and she’s well socialized with them too. She maybe small but she’s mighty and she won’t let the other dogs get the better of her and when she’s had enough of them, she’ll let them know with her feisty attitude. There’s several foster kittens in the home and they’ll run away from her except Amethyst or Chipmunk. They’re the ones who will play and wrestle with her while the other ones just look on with mild curiosity. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be puppy savvy as this little girl can be a toe chewer and a sock puller. They should also be kind, loving and gentle towards animals. She does require a fenced-in yard so she can be kept safe while she has a run around and play. Puppies are cute, playful and fun but also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We do need her adopter to be in agreement to take her for puppy/obedience training to help her to become the best girl possible. Her spay is included in her adoption fee and her potential adopter must be in agreement to have her spayed by the time she’s 6 months of age. The surgery will be at the Barrie SPCA but you can use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there. In order for the rescue to do so we need the spay requirements to still be followed plus a copy of the procedure invoice and a picture of her (preferably in her onsie or cone) in order to do the reimbursement. We do post the picture on our fb page along with other pets that were “fixed” in the same week.  If NYX sounds like she’ll suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet her. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 3, 2025, 10:35 pm

Story
**Note: Currently, Camper is in Korea, but he will fly to Toronto upon adoption. Background This handsome boy was rescued from a slaughterhouse in the summer of 2022 in Daegu, Korea. After his rescue, he lived in a local shelter for three years but couldn’t find a home in Korea. After hearing his story, we brought him to our boarding house, knowing that a loving family is waiting for him in Canada or the US. His forever home is out there, and he is ready to find it. Personality & Behavior Camper is a wonderful Border Collie with a sweet and gentle personality. He has medium energy, much calmer than a typical Border Collie, making him well-mannered and easygoing. He is social and friendly, not shy around strangers, and he gets along beautifully with other dogs. Camper is never dominant or aggressive; he is always polite and affectionate. Among people at the shelter, he is one of the sweetest and most popular dogs, loved by volunteers for his friendly and gentle nature. Daily Life & Habits Camper is well-behaved both indoors and outdoors. He goes potty outside and is easy to care for. He handles bath time and car ride well, and walks nicely on leash, though he sometimes gets excited by new sights during walks. He does not like being caged but has shown no signs of separation anxiety or destructive behavior. Camper is simply a sweet, well-mannered boy who makes life easy and enjoyable. Health & Diet Camper has been on regular parasite prevention since his rescue and has had full veterinary checkups. He is dewormed, microchipped, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He is healthy, happy, and ready for his forever home. Camper eats kibble twice a day and has shown no food allergies. Ideal Home Camper is smart, quick to learn, and very sociable. He will thrive in a home that enjoys spending time outdoors. While he does not require excessive exercise like some Border Collies, he enjoys daily walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. He will happily balance activity with relaxation and is a perfect companion for a family who loves to include their dog in their outdoor lifestyle. Whoever adopts Camper will be very lucky to have such a gentle, affectionate, and loyal friend. ------------------------------------- For more info about the dog or the adoption application, please follow the link below.

Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 ♡ 🧡 Meet Ma-eum A gentle soul learning to love again Ma-eum spent his early years tied outside on a farm, living in fear. He was abused by a male owner and frightened by children who threw balls at him. Because of that, he is still afraid of men, loud playground sounds, and the sight of bouncing toys. But despite all this, Ma-eum has the gentlest heart. For the past two years, he has been living in a patient and loving foster home. He has made slow, steady progress — on his terms — and is now ready for the next chapter of his life. 🧬 Personality Ma-eum is a quiet, thoughtful boy with a soft energy. He feels safest around gentle women with warm voices, and he truly thrives in calm, peaceful homes. He may keep his distance from men indoors, but sometimes shows more courage when outdoors. He isn’t the kind of dog who will run into your arms — but with time and patience, he’ll follow you anywhere. He enjoys peaceful walks, nosework games, gentle pets, and long naps by your side. He doesn't bark much, and he waits quietly when left alone after a short adjustment. 🏡 At Home ✅ House-trained (prefers peeing on vertical surfaces — his foster can provide wall-to-floor pads) ✅ Good with calm dogs (interested and social but may growl at overly excited dogs) ✅ Neutral to cats (no strong prey drive) ✅ Tolerates children (nervous around fast movements but never aggressive) ✅ Excellent in the car ✅ Loves brushing and gentle touch 🚫 Afraid of balls and squeaky toys — he prefers games with treats instead 💛 Ma-eum is looking for… A family who will let him set the pace. Someone who doesn’t expect instant cuddles but understands how meaningful it is when a shy dog chooses to stay close. Ideally, a female adopter or a quiet household with gentle energy. 📦 Foster home can provide pee pad setup 📍 Adoption includes interview & home check 📩 If Ma-eum’s story touched your heart, we’d love to tell you more. He’s been waiting a long time for someone who sees past the fear — and into his true, beautiful heart
