Presa Canario puppies and dogs in Simcoe, Ontario

Available for Adoption💜 After 5 months of being with me, this sweet pea is finally available for adoption! Aquarius is one of the most resilient dogs I have fostered. Watching her go from being the most shut down dog I’ve ever had, to watching her learn to love so many new things has been the most rewarding gift over these last few months and now it’s her time to shine!❤️ Name: Aquarius Location of dog: Dundas, Ontario Breed: Presa/Bully Mix Weight: 60lbs Gender: Female Spayed/Neutered: Yes Age: Approx. 2 Energy Level: Low-Medium Medical (shots etc): UTD on vaccinations Microchipped: Yes Good with dogs: Yes she loves dogs! She needs to be in a home with a confident dog(s) to learn from and play with! Currently fostered with a senior male and female who’s the same age and does great with them. She hasn’t had any negative reaction to other dogs since being with us and truly just loves other animals Good with cats: Yes! She is extremely curious and playful (she even made friends with a toad!) Good with kids: yes but older due to lack of experience with young kids Good with strangers: yes with introduction - she is SO much better meeting people, if they respect her space until she feels comfortable (I tell people to not touch her right away and allow her to come to them). She usually sees how my dogs react to them and is starting to come around more and more Guarding Issues: None House Trained: Yes Crate Trained: She doesn’t need one - Initially she had her own dog room with a crate to decompress but she never went in the crate, then I put a baby gate at the bedroom door so she could get more comfortable with movement in the house. Now, she is left out with my dogs and just pulls every toy out of the toy basket to play with and naps Destructive: Nope! Leash skills: Great - she is off leash trained with me and could easily be off leash trained with people/dogs she trusts. She just sticks with the pack and when she does wonder around she always comes back when called Okay with manipulations: Yes with her trusted human. I can do anything and everything to her because she trusts me and knows she is safe (she naps while I give her manicures lol) Known commands: none because she’s stubborn and gets too excited for treats lol her recall is pretty good and she does listen really well to correction, but when trying to teach her to sit, she just can’t contain how excited she is lol Behaviour Issues: she does take time to warm up to new people due to her past but she is also doing so much better with confidence. She thrives off energy and confident people, because she still lacks a bit of confidence herself but feels safer with her trusted humans and dogs. Introductions are always done outside and I just tell everyone not to reach over her and allow her to come to them. She’s always with my dogs meeting new people and will observe their body language and how they interact with them (which is always good), and it seems to help her want to come to people for attention - she may play hard to get at first, but she’s truly just a big snuggle bug and just needs someone to continue showing her that all humans aren’t terrible Medical issues: None Other observations: I was reached out by one of our amazing local shelters about Aquarius back in April when her future wasn’t looking so good, due to her shutting down in the shelter environment. This sweet girl spent the first year of her life tied to a chain in a backyard with other dogs, where they found themselves seized by animal welfare and living in an overcrowded shelter. This is where Aquarius sat for almost a year, shutting down and living in survival mode. She never had anyone give her a chance, never had another show her love (except for shelter staff of course), she never had a safe place to lay her head. Sadly with how shut down she was and how much she avoided human interaction, she was unavailable to the public and it was up to a rescue to save her life. When I met Aquarius, I knew she didn’t have another way out; I was her only chance at a whole new life. The day I met her and the day I picked her up, she wanted nothing to do with me. She wouldn’t approach me, even when I sat down on her level avoiding eye contact. Most people meet dogs like Aquarius and wouldn’t give them the time of day because everyone wants a dog that is excited to meet them and they have that instant connection, but I want the dogs that make me work for their trust because they are the dogs that deep down have the most love. She is the prime example of that. Aquarius has shown what love and patience can do, and it might have taken a couple of months but this is what dogs like her need. She went from a shaky shut down girl who didn’t trust a damn sole, to being one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. She is hilarious and gets her zoomies running like a free girl, she has a new obsession for dog toys (because she never played with any before), and is so good at keeping her self occupied. As long as she has toys around, you best believe she’s playing with them all! Aquarius plays so well with other dogs and has become part of my pack so naturally, she truly loves all animals she has met. As sad as I will be to see this girl leave, I can not wait to see her flourish with her own family that loves her as much as I do, and sees the amazing dog she really is. She has worked so hard to leave her past behind her, and needs a family to continue to show her what life really is and take her on all the adventures she missed out on! https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMhFdmnW5/ For more information, contact Kari at kari@fightagainstbreedracism.com You can find our form “Dog Adoption Application" at: https://form.jotform.com/213266369147057 (please ensure all references listed on your application has the following info: Name, phone # and valid email address)

MORE PHOTOS/VIDEOS: https://www.facebook.com/TLCRR https://www.instagram.com/taffyslegacycaninerescue https://www.taffyslegacy.com/mila Mila was adopted from animal control in August of 2023 by a friend of TLC's Director, someone they had met years ago in rescue. At the beginning of October, they received a call from animal control as they were listed as the emergency contact for their friend’s dogs. They were informed by the animal control officer that their friend had been taken by ambulance and that she was non-verbal. Unfortunately, their friend ended up having cancer and passed away two weeks later. First impressions: Dogs: Can be reactive to some dogs through her kennel, however we introduced her to Bob and the two of them hit it off immediately. She played rough from the get go and was “boxing” him with her paws relentlessly until he finally gave in and played. Her lack of boundaries with other dogs could get her into trouble as surely not all dogs would appreciate this overzealous playstyle. Cats: Unsure with cats, we will test her once she has settled in. Kids: Though we have not tested her with children we feel she would be best in an adult only home or a home with older dog savvy children. Her tail is a whip and she is a bit of a wild girl. Strangers: Friendly, outgoing, hyper and likes to jump up. Crate: Mila has been having frequent accidents in her kennel despite adequate let outs. We believe she is having accidents as an attention seeking behaviour and we are working to try to fulfill her through play with other dogs, exercise and training to curb this behaviour. Leash: A bit of a wild girl on leash, however she does settle fairly quickly and takes corrections well. Car Skills: Mila travels well and is quiet in the car so long as she is tethered/crated. We feel given her energy level she may be a bit of a pest if left loose. Energy Level: Medium. Mila is an energetic girl, but can be fulfilled through physical activities, such as walks and play, and mental stimulation activities like puzzles. Confidence: Fairly confident, however she would definitely benefit from a confident handler who will advocate for her and continue to build her up. Affection: Mila is extremely affectionate and loves pets, however she is a bit of an unruly puppy trapped in an adult dog’s body and likes to mouth, jump up and is overall a bit rude. Resources: Has not shown any issues with people or other dogs thus far, though we really haven’t had much opportunity to test this around other dogs. Behavioural: Mila is a wild child and as mentioned above, does enjoy practicing rude puppy behaviour (mouthing, jumping etc.). Training: This girl loves food and is eager to train. She is smart and offers behaviours readily. It will not take much to get her on her best behaviour so long as she has a consistent trainer. Best traits: affectionate, playful, silly and fun to train. Needs improvement: Discouraging jumping, mouthing and general bratty behaviour through training. ADOPTION PROCESS: taffyslegacy.com/adoption-process

🐾Miss Cedar is available for foster, foster to adopt and adoption.❤️ Cedar has been with us since April 2021. She is literally one of our OG's at F.A.B.R. Cedar has been living with me for almost 4 years. This dog has taught me so much! She did get to be in a foster home for a couple of months. Due to the management plan set in place not being followed as requested, she did not do as well as she could have. Cedar deserves her own home and family. This dog has completely done a 180 from the dig she was 4 years ago. She's a beautiful soul full of love and loyalty. She is honestly such an amazing dog and it's baffling to us she is still with us. Not that we mind at all!!! Cedar does not currently live in a kennel. She freely roams our rescue room where 4 males are kenneled individually. She has her own bed, toys and has free run of the entire space. The boys love interacting with her, she does like to be goofy and put on a show for them lol. Name: Cedar Age: 6 years old Breed: Mastiff Mix Energy: Low to medium Weight: 100 lbs Spay/Neuter: Yes Dogs: Needs proper intro, does better with males. Females are a NO! Cats: Yes, dog savvy cats only. Kids: Yes but we feel an adult home only is recommended Crate Trained: Yes House Trained: Yes Any Aggression (food or other): Comes from an abusive past, therefore needs a quieter household with a strong leader who she can trust and feel safe with. She does great with woman, men she is extremely selective and needs more time and patience to bond with them. Would do best in a female only home but can live with an adult male she connects with. And if there's 2 adults in the home, both people have to be fully involved in her care. Here's a message from our girl! "Hello everyone, I am so excited to introduce myself. My name is Cedar and I am a fun girl who loves to play! I had a bit of a rough start to life as my previous life had some abuse on my previous pet parent and me. Which makes me nervous is negative situations but I’ve become really good at staying calm when my rescue mom is by my side because I know she will keep me safe. I've had a blast playing with my step brothers Jax and Kane. They can sure tire me out! Those dudes don't stop playing. While I could live with another brother my size, if I am being 100% honest I would absolutely love to be the only animal in the house so that I can take all the love and pets for myself. I do get jealous of other dogs and can be reactive. I have been with my rescue mom for awhile now and as much as I am living a good life with them, I am ready to find my forever family. I am looking for a family who has experience and see's the value in consistent training and working their dog. While my leash skills are good, I was under socialized in my early years, but don't worry I am a really quick learner and I get so much joy from it! And my foster mom is great at socializing me! I know some basic commands and would love to learn more! Oh! It would be wonderful if my forever family liked to get out on adventures because I love taking in all the new smells and fresh air!" Cedar is very smart so takes to training very well, which is great as this has continued to help her progress with building confidence. Because she can be timid or shy, she would do amazing in a home with a confident owner. Also she needs an experienced dog handler to lead her. She cannot be in a hectic home or a home with people who are not gentle with her. Due to her abuse in her pass, a home with hand raising and yelling will cause Cedar to be reactive. In a quiet loving fun home, shes a charcater who makes you laugh and is great a cuddling. A home with limited guest is best suited for her.
