Story

7 year old female - birth date: December 30/2016 In foster care since: March 24, 2024 Fostered in Dorval, Quebec Good with: large male dogs, older children Adoption fee: $300 Meet Rosette! Sister to Toxon (fostered in Southern Ontario) and the ultimate love bug who is ready to find her forever family. Rosette is a 7 year old Alaskan mix who was finally able to retire from the dog sledding industry in March. She is hoping to find her family before the year ends, so that she can celebrate her 8th birthday AND the new year with her new people! Have you ever heard the phrase “from sled dog to bed hog?” Well, Rosette, lovingly known by her foster family as “Rosie”, is the epitome of just that, as you can see from her photos! Whether it’s the couch, her dog bed, or YOUR bed, Rosie will settle in and make herself comfy. Rosie is looking for a family that will provide her with a calm, supportive, and patient environment while she continues to gain her confidence in her new found life. As her foster mom says “Rosie has been serving others her whole life, and now it’s time for us to serve her.” Rosie still has some challenges to overcome, although each day she is becoming more and more the confident dog that she always should have been. She does have some reservations with men, as many of the sleddies rescued in March do, and may take a little while to warm up to them, but with love and patience, she has been able to overcome this fear. A home without cats or small dogs would be ideal for Rosie, though she is great with kids and large dogs. Rosie is the sweetest girl who adores curling up on the couch for a cuddle and a good nap. She’s a simple girl who is loving her retired life and all of the new things she is discovering every day. She has learned the joy of playing with toys, and she loves to run around the yard with her ball. This sweet girl is beyond ready for her forever people! She is fully potty trained, and her leash training continues to improve every day, especially with the right harness and a positive attitude from her people. If you are looking for a dog who you can build a deep connection with, get all the cuddles with, and who will bring you an insane amount of joy, then Rosie is waiting for you! Rosette is spayed, up to date on relevant vaccines, dewormed, and microchipped. While she is fostered in Quebec, we do accept adoptive homes throughout Ontario.

Story

3 year old male In foster care since: May 26, 2024 Good with: dogs, children Fostered in Ottawa, Ontario Adoption fee: 700 Hey! Nice to meet you! My name is Roadtrip! Pretty silly name, huh? Well, you need a pretty silly name when you’re a pretty silly boy like me! I am a 3 year old Siberian Husky who was rescued from the dog sledding industry in May with my brother Ridge and my buddy Santa. I’m really enjoying my new life with my foster family and my furry foster siblings. Speaking of my furry foster siblings, I am currently living with 2 husky brothers, and I love them so much! We get along well and love playing together, so I definitely think I would like a home with another playful dog! (I have not been tested with cats). I really enjoy playing games, and I LOVE cuddling, so I hope my new forever family will like those things, too! I’m so friendly and my foster family says that I’m super easy to get along with. Though they do say my excitement can sometimes be hard to contain! I am full of energy and enjoy my walks a lot! I’m really starting to understand how to politely walk on a leash. A halti or gentle lead harness, or a martingale collar, would be the best for me instead of a regular harness, so that I don’t feel like I’m working! Speaking of outdoor time (my favourite!) I will need careful supervision when outdoors, as my jumping skills are top notch and I have already managed to jump a six foot fence more than once. For this reason, I will need to be double leashed while we are still learning about each other and we should probably avoid dog parks. A member of the BSDRO team will connect with you about sled dog safety to equip you with the best ways to keep me safe! I am crate trained and usually happy to hangout there, but I have a bit of fear of missing out, or FOMO, as foster mom calls it. When I'm afraid that you're going to leave me alone for a long time, I'll sometimes use my voice to let you know I'm still here. Foster mama tells me that I'll get more comfortable soon and not be afraid of being alone. My sweet personality and friendly nature make it pretty hard not to fall in love with me! With love, patience, and a bit of training, I’ll be your best friend before you know it! I am neutered and up to date on all relevant vaccines, which means I’m ready to go home when you’re ready to have me!

Story

SPIN received a call for help with three Standard Poodles whose owner had fallen on hard times and could no longer care for them. We were happy to bring them in, and that's how we met Jersey. From the moment she arrived, we noticed her red, irritated, and flaky skin, along with some hair loss and uneven regrowth. But none of that mattered—we loved her at first sight!

Story

Dear Future Family, My name is Chess, and I’m searching for my forever home! Let me share a little about myself. I was rescued just in time, right before being euthanized, after spending my days as a stray in the countryside. Despite my tough past, I’ve never let it take away my love for people. I’m incredibly friendly and can’t resist a good belly rub—I’ll even roll over for you once we get to know each other! I’m also happy to accept treats from anyone kind enough to offer. I’m a sociable and affectionate dog who loves being around people, even strangers. I get along wonderfully with other dogs, especially those my size, and I’m calm and neutral around bigger dogs. I have no issues sharing treats and don’t guard resources, making me a peaceful and easygoing companion. When tensions arise, I prefer to avoid conflict altogether. I’m also proud to say that I’m a quiet girl—I haven’t barked at all so far. When it comes to walks, I’m an excellent companion. I stay close to my human and don’t pull on the leash, making walks an enjoyable experience for both of us. I also think I’d get along great with children, which means I could be the perfect addition to a family. I’m ready to open my heart to someone who will love me just as much as I’ll love them. Could that someone be you? I can’t wait to meet my forever family and share all the joy I have to offer. With love and a wagging tail, Chess 🐾💕

Story

Meet Youngsoo! * Gender: Male * Age: 5 months * Weight: 9 kg * Breed: Jindo-Corgi mix Youngsoo is an adorable puppy with a unique charm thanks to his short legs, giving him the perfect Jindo-Corgi look! Although he’s the smallest of his siblings, he’s just as active and playful as the rest. He’s currently learning leash walking and socialization skills, and his lively, cheerful personality is sure to win you over. As a puppy, Youngsoo is still in his learning phase and will require a dedicated adopter who can guide him with patience and training. Like any young dog, he may chew on things, so keeping a close eye on him and providing appropriate outlets for his energy will be important. Youngsoo is currently living with his mother and littermates, so he may feel shy or lonely when separated. However, with a loving owner who can provide attention, playtime, and care, he is expected to adapt quickly and thrive in his new home. If you’re ready to welcome a sweet and lively pup like Youngsoo into your life, he might just be the perfect companion for you! 🐾💕
