 Quick Facts  Name: Popeye Age: Approximately 2 years old Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Mix Color: White with Beige Weight: 6 kg Height (to shoulder): 30 cm Microchip Number: 410160010784129 Health History Vaccinations & Preventatives                •             Vaccinations are up-to-date:                             Core vaccines (Distemper, Parvo, Rabies) completed on January 13, 2025.                             Kennel Cough and Influenza scheduled for January 27, 2025.                •             Tested negative for heartworm on December 8, 2024. Surgeries & Dental Care                •             Neutered.                •             No prior surgeries or dental procedures. Special Notes                •             My left hind foot has a unique story—one of my toes is missing. The area has healed beautifully, but the fur is still growing back. This makes it look a little pink, and I do occasionally give it a lick. My caregivers think it’ll be fully covered in fluffy fur soon!                •             No known allergies or joint issues. My Personality I’m a social butterfly with both people and dogs. New faces? Bring them on! I’ll trot up, wagging my tail and ready to be your best friend. Whether it’s adults, kids, or other pups, I have a knack for making everyone feel welcome. I’m a big fan of cuddles and don’t mind being picked up or held. You can cradle me in your arms, and I’ll relax without a fuss. Even when it’s time for grooming—nail trims, baths, or brushing—I’m patient and cooperative. Oh, and did I mention I’m totally unfazed by noisy vacuums? (Although, I’ll admit, I’m still warming up to hair dryers!) When it’s playtime, I transform into a little ball of energy, eager to run, jump, and play to my heart’s content. But don’t worry—I’m not overly hyper. I just love life and want to share my excitement with you! My Daily AdventuresWalks are one of my favorite activities. I’m a pro on the leash, staying close to your side without pulling. My curiosity keeps me sniffing around, but I always listen and follow your lead. While I’m naturally energetic, after a good walk or play session, I settle down beautifully and enjoy relaxing by your side. I’ve also got some adorable talents—like hopping into cars all on my own! Whether it’s a short drive or a road trip, I’m ready to be your travel buddy. At HomeI’m a versatile pup who’s comfortable both indoors and outdoors. I’ve mastered using pee pads indoors for my business, though I prefer taking care of everything outdoors when given the chance. I’m also incredibly polite around food—I never guard my meals or treats, even when other dogs are around. One thing that makes me special is my calm demeanor. I rarely bark and adapt quickly to new environments. My Dream HomeI’m searching for a family that’s full of love and ready for adventure. Here’s what I hope for in my forever home: A family that enjoys the outdoors and can keep up with my playful spirit. Someone who appreciates snuggles as much as playtime. A warm, welcoming environment where I can continue spreading joy and love. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who’s equal parts cuddly and fun, I might just be the perfect fit. Let’s meet soon—I can’t wait to wag my way into your heart! ##2282683##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Logan Age: 8 years old (born in 2017) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 4 kg (approx. 9 lbs) All About Me Hi there! My name is Logan, and if you’re looking for a devoted companion who will always be by your side, you’ve found me! I’m a small pup with a huge heart, and my favorite thing in the world is simply being close to my humans. Whether it’s following you around the house, curling up next to you on the couch, or giving you little tail wags of encouragement—I’m always ready to shower you with love. My Personality I’m a total people-lover! I warm up quickly to new friends, and if you give me a little attention, I’ll happily roll over to show you my belly. I’m gentle, affectionate, and always eager for cuddles. I might even follow you from room to room, just to make sure you know how much I love you. When it comes to other dogs, I prefer to keep to myself. I’m polite and will say a quick hello, but I’m not the type to engage in playtime. I’d much rather spend my time soaking up love from my humans. Oh, and did I mention treats? I love treats! They are the way to my heart, and I’ll do just about anything for a yummy snack. On My Walks I’m a wonderful walking buddy! I have lots of experience on a leash and walk right by your side without pulling. Whether it’s a short stroll or a leisurely afternoon walk, I’ll be happy just being outside with you. Life at Home I’m a well-mannered little guy who knows how to settle down indoors. I’m comfortable in a kennel if needed, and I’m great with both indoor pads and outdoor potty breaks. I don’t mind relaxing on my own, but I’ll always be happiest when I’m near my favorite person. I do get excited when I want something and might let out a little bark to let you know. It’s just my way of talking to you! My Ideal Home I dream of a home filled with love and gentle companionship. Here’s what I hope for in my forever family: Someone who loves affectionate, people-oriented dogs—I’ll be your little shadow! A cozy space where I can curl up and feel safe. A home where I can be the center of attention (I don’t mind other dogs, but I don’t need them). If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will cherish every moment by your side, I’d love to meet you. Let’s start our forever together! ##2300885##

Story
Quick Facts Name: Henry Birthday: 8 years (Born Jan 1, 2017) Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Maltese Color: White Weight: 2.4kg All About Me Hello, future family! I’m Henry, a sweet and gentle soul with a lot of love to give. At 8 years old, I’m a little guy who may seem shy at first, but once I trust you, I’m all about cuddles and affection. I’m a Maltese, and I’ve got the softest white fur that you’ll love to pet. My Personality I might be small, but I’ve got a big heart! I may seem a little shy when we first meet, but a tasty treat is all it takes for me to warm up to you. Once I feel comfortable, I’m ready to be your best friend. I enjoy my personal space at first, but it doesn’t take me long to open up to new faces, especially if you’re kind and patient with me. I’m not the most outgoing with other dogs—I prefer to keep my distance. But don’t worry, I’m gentle and peaceful, and if things get a bit too rowdy, I’m quick to step away and find a quieter spot. I’m much more focused on my people and love spending time with them. On My Walks When it comes to walks, I’m not in a rush—I enjoy leisurely strolls where we can take our time and enjoy the scenery together. I may pull a little on the leash at first, but I do my best to follow along with you. Life at Home I’m a calm and affectionate little guy who loves the quiet moments with my family. I’m not too active, and I tend to keep to myself at first, but once I feel safe, I’ll snuggle up next to you for some quality time. I don’t guard my food and I rarely bark. I am potty trained indoor and outdoor also I feel comfortable in a kennel. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a home where I can feel safe and loved. A family that’s patient and willing to give me the time I need to feel comfortable would be perfect. Here’s what I dream of: - A Calm, Loving Environment – A peaceful home where I can relax and be myself.- Gentle Companionship – I’d love to live with people who are kind and gentle, and I’d prefer a home without other rowdy dogs or to be only fur baby.- Plenty of Love & Attention – I may be small, but my heart is huge, and I can’t wait to share it with the right family! Last Message If you’re looking for a gentle, loving companion who will slowly but surely become your best friend, I might just be the perfect fit for you. Let’s take things slow and enjoy each other’s company—I can’t wait to meet you! ##2301029##

Story
Stevie is a sweet playful boy. He is a curly haired non shedder who is a year old. He is a mix of what seems to be a westie or a maltese with a poodle perhaps. He loves to stand on his back legs and wave. Stevie is smart and does great with other dogs and is fine with cats. Stevie walks on a leash and is house trained. Stevie weighs about 25 pounds and is bigger than a maltese. One ear turns up and the other turns down. He is a mix of white and apricot and is all around adorable. He would love to go for rides and walks and be trained to do tricks and just have fun. He is neutered, up to date on shots, and healthy. We would love to tell you about him and our foster to adopt program and have you meet him. If live in Ontario within 3 hours of Toronto please email our rescue at c4ptoronto@gmail.com.

Story
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!

Story
He is a very good dog, he is a senior dog (16 years old) , he is calm, he likes children, he barks alot when we get home and when he wants to go out to do his business, he pees at home in his waterproff mat because we take him out early in the morning and late afternoon also he suffers from age-related incontinence.. We want to find him a home because it is difficult for us to keep him in the apartment, to take him out for walks more often to prevent him from peeing at home and we also travel a lot and it is difficult to find someone to take care of him. We prefer that the adopter lives in Toronto or surrounding areas to make rehoming easier and preferably in a house with a yard. We will provide two waterproof mats (as seen in the photos), bed and food. February 13, 2025
