Maltese puppies and dogs in Binbrook, Ontario

We are looking for a Forever in Foster home for tiny Jasmine   Jasmine is a spunky 15 year old, 5 pound Maltese toy poodle mix who was surrendered to a shelter.  She has recently had a dental and only has 6 teeth remaining.  Her eyes are cloudy but she can see well enough to get around the house and lead the parade on a walk.  We are not sure about her hearing but she will respond to your foot tapping on the floor or her name if you are close by. Jasmine is quite needy and always wants to be with her person if you are sitting or moving around the house.  Currently she is living with two other small dogs but needs to be the only pup in her Forever in Foster home if possible - she prefers to have her human all to herself.    She is not aggressive with the other dogs, but wants them to know you belong to her and can become vocal about things.   She loves to go for walks and is able to walk quite a distance considering her age. She needs a monthly shot of Librela for her arthritis in her back legs, which the rescue will cover the cost of.  She will bark to go outside but if you miss her signals she may have an accident in the house, or use her pee pad.  Jasmine will only go accompanied in the backyard. On nice weather days she will follow you around the yard after she takes care of business but on cold days she runs quickly back into the house.        With only 6 teeth left she is currently on a soft food diet for the most part but loves a bit of kibble as a treat.  She sleeps on the bed and cuddles on the couch or chair you are sitting on.  She has just recently shown an interest in chasing a ball and will sometimes bring it back to you.    Jasmine is looking for someone who will let her be the center of their attention and give her a soft place to land for her remaining years.January 7, 2025, 9:17 pm

Meet Teddy – Your Loving, Lively Companion! Teddy is an adorable 11-year-old Yorkshire Terrier/Maltese mix weighing 12 pounds. Born on February 11, 2013, Teddy has spent his life bringing joy to those around him. Now, he’s ready to find his perfect forever home where he can feel safe, loved, and part of the family! A Little About Teddy Teddy is a neutered gentleman who is up to date with his vetting and has been lovingly cared for. While he can be hesitant when meeting new people, once Teddy warms up, he’s an affectionate, social, and lively companion who thrives on love and attention. What Makes Teddy Special Loves His People: Teddy thrives on being around his loved ones and enjoys being included in family activities. He loves being held, soaking up belly rubs, and spending quality time with his humans. Dinner time Leader: Teddy is skilled at gathering everyone together, especially in the kitchen and family movies. There is no need to have a dinner bell. Teddy is the best way to know dinner is ready as he is the first to let you know it’s dinner time and gets you to follow him to the kitchen. Has been around Kids: Teddy has lived with children since they were toddlers, making him a great fit for families with little ones. Other Dogs and animals: In his previous home, he got along well with other dogs and has made friends with pups of all sizes, including a Border Collie and a poodle mix Vocal: Teddy can be vocal especially when he wants attention or feels something needs addressing. Due to this, he may not be the best match for apartments or condos dwellers where noise might be an issue. A home with more space and understanding neighbors would be ideal. Sensitive to His Environment: Teddy has cataracts and limited vision, so a minimal, well-organized space is ideal for him. Special care is needed to ensure his environment is safe and free from hazards, allowing him to move around comfortably without risk of injury. Dislikes Being Alone: Teddy does not enjoy being left alone and prefers a home where he can be surrounded by his family most of the time. Daily Life with Teddy Energy and Involvement: Teddy enjoys going in the backyard, being active and part of the family. Whether it’s a walk, cuddle time, or just following you around, he’s happiest when he’s included in daily life. On walks, he may bark or growl at dogs on the same side of the street but is otherwise unbothered by people or vehicles. Diet: Teddy thrives on a diet of cooked rice and chicken, along with Blue Buffalo Wilderness Small Breed kibble. He also enjoys rice, carrots, and peas, which help keep his tummy happy.  Grooming and Handling: Teddy is cooperative with grooming, baths, and vet visits. While he dislikes any pats on his backside and hips, he loves being pampered with belly rubs and cuddles. He also handles daily eye drops and other care with ease. Medical Notes Teddy had successful CCL surgery on his back left leg in January 2023 and takes gabapentin daily for leg soreness and anxiety. Chronic pain management and monitoring his pain points is essential for Teddy. His cataracts affect his vision, so he relies on his family to provide a secure and predictable environment. Ideal Home for Teddy Teddy would thrive in an active but calm and loving home where his family can include him in their daily activities and provide the special care he needs. Teddy’s ideal home would also include someone who can spend lots of time with him, ensuring he feels secure and loved. Ready to Meet Teddy? If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal, and energetic companion who needs a little extra care and attention, Teddy is waiting to meet you! With patience and love, he’ll reward you with endless snuggles, wagging tails, and unconditional devotion. Contact us today to make Teddy a part of your family! January 23, 2025, 9:15 am

Meet Ttori, a 10-year-old Maltese with a pristine white coat weighing 3.4kg. This little gentleman is as charming as they come! Ttori loves people, greeting both familiar faces and strangers with enthusiasm, often rubbing against them and happily inviting gentle pets. While he hasn’t had the chance to meet children under 13, his sweet and gentle nature makes him a safe companion for kids. He’s so trusting that you can scoop him up with an arm under his belly, and once he feels comfortable, he’ll even roll over to show his tummy. When it comes to other dogs, Ttori is polite and curious, approaching them for a friendly hello, though he’s not interested in engaging in play. He mostly prefers to do his own thing and shows little interest in other dogs or even other animals, like cats or birds. His general demeanor is one of calm detachment. Ttori is a low-energy pup who enjoys relaxing and taking it easy. He spends most of his day napping, but during his awake and walking hours, he can get a bit busy exploring his surroundings. On walks, he’s a dream—following calmly and never pulling on the leash. At home, he rarely barks, making him a wonderfully quiet companion. While he’s comfortable using both indoor pee pads and going outdoors for potty breaks, he has a tendency to mark when in unfamiliar places. He does whine a bit when in a kennel but settles down quickly. While Ttori didn’t show any signs of separation anxiety at the shelter, things are a little different in his current foster home. If his foster mom leaves, Ttori will whimper or even howl for a bit, especially if he senses he’s being left behind. However, if given a long-lasting treat before she heads out, he’ll relax after a while and settle into his spot to rest. This good boy is learning to adjust and shows great potential to thrive in a loving forever home!

7 yrs young spayed Maltese female who joined our rescue Sept 28 as a retired breeding dog from a commercial breeding operation This darling girl has now completed all of her vetting including vaccinations, microchip, bloodwork, spay and full dental extractions due to badly decayed teeth. She is blossoming in her foster home and ready to find her forever family. PLEASE READ HER ADOPTION PROFILE BEFORE APPLYING to be sure that your family is the right match for Chicadee's needs in her ideal forever home. Chicadee's wish list includes Another suitable canine companion in her new home A home without a lot of stairs or family member committed to carrying her up/down when needed and continuing to work on her training/comfort level NOTES from Chicadee's foster family Energy level: Moderate - Chicadee is quiet most of the day, but loves to play with us, her toys and our dogs. Chicadee loves her walks and enjoys frequent shorter walks as well as snuffling in the fenced yard with her foster present and other dogs with her Training happens throughout the day as opportunities arise. She is highly motivated by food so treats are an effective training tool and teaching her new behaviours is a joy. Chicadee is food motivated - she eats her food eagerly and loves treats, which as mentioned above, really assist with training. Good with dogs both in their home environment as well as meeting new dogs? She is extremely good with her foster sisters and loves to cuddle with them, play with them and follow them around. She has been good with other dogs that have come into our home, both adult and puppy. When encountering dogs outside the home, Chicadee is curious but cautious. She will allow them to approach but she is timid. As long as they approach with respect she is fine. How does your foster dog respond to meeting new people - Chicadee is initially cautious when other people come into our home, and will maintain a distance until she is comfortable with them. Once she is comfortable, she will interact with them. Outside the home, she is more cautious and will not approach someone new. She does not retreat -if they approach softly and respectfully, she will interact with them, sniff their feet or hands, etc. Good with cats? Yes, brief time with a cat with no concerns, not fostered with cats Any guarding behaviours -None, she is very good about sharing. Chicadee shares toys, dog beds and family members with our own dogs and we have had no concerns in this area. She is very eager when treats are being given, but shows no aggression whatsoever. Housetrained? Yes Crate trained? Yes Chicadee is generally very quiet in her crate. She snuggles into the blankets and sleeps, and she is very excited when we come home. She often will go into the crate for a nap on her own during the day. I leave my foster dog alone for ___h per day. 2 Does your foster dog show signs of separation anxiety? No When we first got Chicadee, she would freeze when we tried to walk her. Now she is very comfortable on a leash and loves to go for walks. She will just stand for a few seconds initially but then is eager to go. When walking solo, Chicadee tends to walk slowly, stopping to sniff, to look at things or to listen to new sounds as she is very curious about the world around her. So she tends to be a very casual walker when going solo. This is not the case when walking with one of her foster sisters, as she is keen to walk with them and scampers along at their speed. Handling?-Chicadee is very receptive to being touched - ears, tail, paws, etc. She loves being petted or scratched and has not shown any negative reaction to being touched. Very compliant at vet appointments. Chicadee is a very funny little soul who loves to play, either alone with her toys or with her foster sisters. She loves her people and will happily follow us around and watch what we are doing. She is a happy creature who loves a good cuddle. Chicadee enjoys being held or sitting beside us or on our laps. When she is playing, her behaviour can be quite entertaining. Sweet, little Chicadee is a work in progress. She has yet to develop the confidence to tackle the stairs (both ascending and descending.) While she will go in and out of our patio door, she will not go through our front door, perhaps because it is solid (not glass) and maybe because there is also a screen door. We have to carry her out the front, but it's not much of a chore as she is so small. Chicadee has come an extremely long way in a short period of time, and will benefit from consistent reinforcement by her new family of the skills listed below. Due to having had her teeth removed, Chicadee requires soft food and treats. We also have learned that she does not react well to beef. Beyond that, we have no concerns about her health. Please describe current routines and preferences that will help the dog settle into their new home: Chicadee has a very simple schedule. She wakes about 7 in the morning, checks out the backyard, has breakfast and a walk . Once she is home, she has a well deserved nap. Napping, learning new skills and playing are the activities for the day. In the evening she is happy to cuddle up on the couch for some tv watching. About nine she is ready for her last walk of the day and then off to bed in her crate. Chicadee will need some time to settle into a new home. Attention will need to be paid to her signals - when she needs to go potty, she does a funny little spinning dance to let you know. We have bells at the door but so far she is still signalling with the spin dance. Having small stuffed toys available and a nice soft bed she can curl up in will help as well. We have her crate available as well and she likes to go in it on her own when she needs some quiet time. She may initially need some alone time to get used to her new family and her new home. Once she is comfortable, lots of attention and respectful cuddling will really help her get settled as she is very affectionate and loves to be held. Strengths/areas they have improved on: Chicadee came with very few skills and no understanding of what it means to live in a household with humans and other dogs. She didn't play, had no idea what toys are, was uncomfortable in a harness or on a leash - she would freeze as soon as we tried to walk. Now she does all these things and is quite compliant when it comes to the harness, leash, coat, etc. because she enjoys walks so much. Initially she was reluctant to interact with us or with her foster sisters but now she craves attention. It has been a joy to watch her go from being just a dog to becoming a member of a family. Transportation-Chicadee is getting used to travelling in a vehicle. She may shake a little at first but then she is fine on short trips: occasionally she has a little motion sickness on longer trips (ie. more than an hour.) CBD oil or homeopet Travel Anxiety, or Cerennia will assist with this as needed We think the perfect adoptive home for Chicadee would be one where she receives lots of companionship from humans or other dogs. She loves to cuddle with her furry foster siblings, with us and with our daughter and granddaughters. She seeks attention and loves to follow us around. Chicadee also enjoys cuddling on the couch. We think she would do well with a family or with a single person or couple, as long as they have time to spend with her. She would not do well being left alone for long periods of time. We think a home with a fenced yard would be ideal, as Chicadee enjoys being outside and loves to explore her surroundings. As mentioned previously, Chicadee does not do stairs (she will do a couple of steps into the house) and we have not let her jump onto or off of the couch or chair due to her small size/risk of injuries We believe that Chicadee would be a wonderful addition to almost any family. She is not suitable for young children or busy noisy environments that would startle her, but she loves our granddaughters who are all over the age of ten and extremely dog savvy and respectful.
