File #25-099Current Foster Location: Amherstview, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Hi, Im Buttons (aka Boo or Boo Bear, aka your emotional support gremlin). If youre a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, Im here for you. Game 7 trauma? I get it. Im cuddly, kissy, and ready to be your emotional support dog through another decade of heartbreak. Not a Leafs fan? Even better. Think of me as your celebration gift for Leafs Elimination Dayan annual tradition we all secretly enjoy. I bring squeaky toys and unconditional love. Im housetrained, fetch-obsessed, and big on daily snuggles (bonus points if you pick me up so I can kiss your face). I do bark when left alone. Also, fair warning: if a dog dares walk past my house, I will let them know they are not invited. Ive got opinions during leash walks, too, especially if other dogs bring the drama. I thrive in a calm, cozy home with humans who get that Im a little extra, but always worth it. A laid-back dog sibling (maybe), if theyre chill and dont bring chaotic vibes and maybe kids 8+ would be cool too. So whether youre mourning or mockingIm the ultimate playoff prize. Go, team Boo.

File #25-064 Current Foster Location: Brockville, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Hi there! I see you reading my bio! Thanks for stopping by! First things first: I will launch into your arms like the most adorable kangaroo missile you've ever seen. If you're not ready for high-speed, airborne love... buckle up, buttercup. I give kisses like Im getting paid by the smooch, and I fully expect to be your #1dont make me side-eye you for petting that other dog. Yes, I saw it. Yes, I care. I'm a strong, independent lady who knows what she likes. I'm not high maintenance, I'm high standards. Learn my style, respect my space, and well be besties. Now, dont get me wrongI do like a cuddle. Just not a lets-turn-into-a-human-dog-blanket situation. Give me room to breathe, a crate to chill in, and a squeaky toy to absolutely destroy, and Im one happy girl. My ideal human is patient, experienced, and ready for a relationship built on mutual trust, playtime marathons, and understanding that I am, in fact, the love of your life. Another confident dog might be cool tooas long as they help me learn the ropes without stealing my spotlight. So there you have it! Now, who wants this little firecracker all wrapped up in fur?   Please visit our website www.ittakesavillagedogrescue.com to learn more about this amazing dog and to see other available dogs.

Story
File #25-105Current Foster Location: Smiths Falls, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Citizens of Earth, heed my call! I come in peace. I am Galaxy, the benevolent ruler of belly rubs, the grandmaster of zoomies, and the undisputed champion of snuggling. When Im not conquering laps with my expert-level snuggle techniques, Im zooming through space (a.k.a. the backyard) at speeds that make squirrels question their life choices. I respect the ancient canine traditions of boundaries and cues. My foster sister may believe shes my equal, but lets be realI am the main character here. Just don't tell her I said that. I also love car rides, because honestly, whats better than rolling around town like a celebrity with the wind in your floofy ears? Nothing. NOTHING. Now, listen. I am house-trained and charming, but sometimes I just must bark to make my voice heard. If my foster sister dares to leave me behind on an outdoor mission, I will launch vocal protests until justice is restored. Do you seek a handsome, intelligent, and outrageously lovable dog to rule your home with kindness and cuddles? Galaxy is ready to ascend his throne.

File #25-085 Current Foster Location: Renfrew, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Hi, I'm Inara ! Guess what? I'm finally learning to be the big goofy puppy I was always meant to be! My journey has been more dramatic than a season finale of Grey's Anatomy. Born with Entropion in both eyes, I was in serious pain until the amazing Dr. Julie gave me relief. I had my eyes tacked for now, and the pain is gone! When I get older, closer to a year, Ill have the final surgery to fix them, so Im good for the rest of my life. My adoption contract will cover this and the cost will be paid by these nice Village folks. Before my eye treatment, it was dark and twisty, walking around with my eyes closed because opening them hurt so much. I was a quiet shut down puppy as I didnt feel like playing with all the pain I had. I relied on my doggy friends and my nose to navigate life. But now? I can see! It's like I've a whole new world for me overnight! I LOVE following other dogs, playing with toys, and prancing around on my hilariously oversized paws. To continue building my confidence, I'll need another canine brother or sister. Im not ready to be an only dog in the home yet, as the worlds still a little scary for me, but Im getting there. House training is a work in progress, but I keep my kennel clean and Im doing really well. I only have the odd accident if I get playing and forget I need to go outside. I will also use pee pads inside if needed. My crate used to terrify me, but now we're cool. I dont love it yet, but I understand my foster family will come back and that its a safe place for me while they are gone. Car rides make me nervous but with time I'll improve, I dont get car sick, so thats a bonus! Oh, and heads up - I'm definitely a cuddler who loves the couch, I believe your furniture is our furniture. I love to sleep in bed a night sometimes with my humans and foster fur siblings.not all the time, as my foster momma says I need to learn to love my crate, but she lets me snuggle the odd night here and there. Im a good girl and sleep through, unless I need to wake her up for a piddle outside, which happens from time to time. So, what do you saypick me, choose me, love me? Can I join your family?

File #25-096Current Foster Location: Petawawa, ON *Please note that we do not typically adopt outside of a 2 hour radius from the foster dogs current location* Hey. Im Pickles. Yes, like the snack. And just like a pickle, I can be a little salty, a little sweet, and people cant stop saying, OMG, so good! Lets cut to the chase: Im a world-class cuddler. Especially with my foster dad. My foster mom is pretty cool, mostly when shes holding snacks. Im smart, too. I pick up tricks fast. If you throw in a snack, Ill even learn calculus! I live with a foster sister dog. We play hard. Sometimes I get a little mouthy, but she tells me off, and Im like, Chill, noted. Shes a solid role model. Another dog in the house sounds like fun! It's not required, but I wouldnt hate it. The cats around here are tiny bosses. Yeah, I learned real fast not to mess with them. Respect. Im still working on this whole alone time thingI cry a bit when left solo, and I will tell you how I feel about crates (spoiler: I bark). So Im not a great match for apartment living or someone whos gone all day. But if youre into smart, snuggly weirdos with a strong snack game and even stronger cuddle skillsIm your Pickle. Lets meet.
