Story
Molly has been waiting for some time now for the right adopter to come along, and we would really love to see her in a home of her own soon. This pretty Shiba Inu / Husky mix with the gorgeous blue eyes is about 4 years old and weighs in at a little under 50 pounds. She’s a friendly, energetic dog, and bonds well with her people. Here is what we’re looking for in her ideal adopter: EXPERIENCE: Molly needs an experienced adopter, ideally with Husky type dogs. She is not suitable for a first-time dog owner. Children need to be dog-savvy, and at least 14 years of age. ACTIVE LIFESTYLE: Molly is a high energy dog. She loves being outdoors, and would make a great hiking or running companion. FENCED BACKYARD: A safe area for training, playing, zoomies, and that last bathroom break before bed is a must. Molly would not be suitable for apartment life, and no dog parks please. OTHER PETS: Molly would be fine as an only dog as she can be a bit “in-your-face” when meeting other canines. She might enjoy being with a playful well-rounded male dog, but definitely no cats please. If you can check everything off on our wish list, please complete an adoption questionnaire at www.kikodogrescue.ca. Molly would love to hear from you! Due to the high volume of emails and messages we receive, we are unfortunately unable to respond to everyone, but thank you for your interest. All Kiko dogs have been examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, dewormed and tested for heartworm (if deemed necessary), microchipped, sterilized, and require an adoption fee of $475 and an adoption contract.

River

Schnauzer (Standard)

Story
Our 50-pound, 4.5-year-old Schnauzer mix River is extremely loving and affectionate with his own people, but it’s a different story with visitors. Negative behaviour was created as a result of having been put in a room when visitors arrived. Because of this, River needs an experienced adopter who is prepared to work with him with a basket muzzle to help manage and overcome this reaction when people visit his home. LIFESTYLE: River needs a calm single or couple with a quiet lifestyle and few visitors. A semi-rural or rural environment would suit him best. River would not be suitable for apartment life, and no dog parks or children please. ACTIVE: River is playful and moderately active. He enjoys walks when there is not a lot going on around him, but responds well to redirection and positive reinforcement. OTHER PETS: River would be fine as an only dog, but a well-behaved female canine role model may be beneficial. Don’t be fooled by River’s cuteness. He needs a dedicated pack leader to show him the way. If that sounds like you, a very loving companion awaits. If you are interested in offering River a forever home, we ask that you please visit us at www.kikodogrescue.ca to fill out an adoption questionnaire. All Kiko dogs have been examined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, dewormed and tested for heartworm (if deemed necessary), microchipped, sterilized, and require an adoption fee of $475 and an adoption contract.

Story
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Introducing Kiko’s latest arrival! Whiskey is a friendly mix who narrowly escaped euthanasia at a full shelter. There’s lots of life and love in this happy 6-year-old’s future! Whiskey is a healthy boy, and weighs about 70 pounds. His tail never stopped wagging when he met his foster dad, and was asking for belly rubs in no time! Whiskey is housetrained, sociable with hoomans and other pooches, not destructive when left alone, and is easy to live with. He’s affectionate and playful but his energy needs are not high, as he also enjoys chilling out and being a couch potato. Whiskey would prefer an adult home, or one with older children, and no cats please. He’s not a barker, and would be suitable for either an apartment or a home. If Whiskey sounds like the companion you’ve been looking for, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at www.kikodogrescue.ca. We are active in the Greater Montreal and Eastern Ontario areas, and are also open to applicants from elsewhere willing to drive to us. Whiskey’s foster home is in Laval, Quebec.

Story
CUDDLY LAB MIX AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Say hello to Rex, an affectionate Lab mix ready to snuggle up for the winter with a new forever family. Rex is about 8 years of age and weighs in at a svelte 36 pounds, and really doesn’t take up much room when he’s snuggling with his people. Rex’s foster family says that he’s rather calm and likes to sleep close to his humans (have we mentioned he loves people?). Rex does love company, so we’re looking for a home where he’s not left alone for extended periods of time. Rex walks fairly well on leash with a front clip harness, and has been learning to control his excitement when seeing other dogs on walks. He does get along nicely with the female Corgi at his foster home. Rex is housetrained and does not have high energy demands. It seems a lot of folks these days are looking for puppies, but they’re certainly not for everyone, and adult dogs have a lot to offer. If Rex sounds like the kind of dog you’d like to open your heart and home to, please complete an adoption questionnaire on our website at www.kikodogrescue.ca. We are active in the Greater Montreal and Eastern Ontario areas, and are also open to applicants from elsewhere willing to drive to us.

Story
Harley is a 5 year old black female half Mastiff and half American Staffordshire Terrier born in October 2018. She’ll jump on you and kiss you to death. Most affectionate dog ever. She’s fixed. And very happy. Very good with kids as well. She’s very playful and energetic. Needs a place with land and a family with an active lifestyle. Unsure about her being reactive to other dogs as she has lived with her pack for awhile. In the past, she got along with the house cat, but haven’t been around a cat for awhile. This is a courtesy listing. If you are interested in providing a forever home for one, or both of the dogs, please contact Andrew directly at bugnetandrew@gmail.com
