APPLICATIONS NOW CLOSED 10/23/24Hi, I’m Winnie! ( DOB 07/13/2024)I'm a 3 lb ball of energy and sweetness wrapped up in a tiny package. There’s nothing I love more than playing fetch, following my fur foster brother Stampy (a bulldog) everywhere, and curling up on your lap for cuddles. While I may be small, my personality is anything but! I am playful, curious, and full of puppy mischief. I’ve been known to sneak off to chew on books or cords when you’re not looking (I am a puppy after all!), but with gentle reminders, I am quick to get back on track.I am an adaptable little pup and I can thrive in almost any living situation, whether it’s a suburban home, city apartment, or rural residence (just not a farm, as I’m a bit too small). Because of my tiny size, a home with toddlers might not be ideal, as young kids could unintentionally hurt me. But I would do great with older children or in a home with seniors. I love other dogs, especially ones I can shadow and cuddle with, so a home with a playmate would be a bonus! I’m friendly, submissive, and I thrive on companionship. My foster mom says I have many talents, one of them being an escape artist. Due to my tiny size, I can squeeze through small spaces, so a secure yard or a fenced area is a must! I’ve been staying close to my foster home until I am fully vaccinated, so I will need some basic training for walks once I am ready (and once it is safe) for me to get out there and explore!I’m currently pee pad trained, and I am now working on going outside to be fully house trained If you’re looking for a tiny, affectionate, and playful pup to join your family, I might just be the perfect fit. I’m full of charm and ready to bring love and joy to my forever home! Winnie is being spayed Oct 23 Located in TorontoHome requirementsKids over the age of 10 due to her size

Meet Craig: Your Chill Companion! 🐾** With a spicy side ;)Are you looking for a loving companion to share cozy moments and lazy afternoons? Meet Craig, our adorable Shih Tzu! At 3 years old, Craig is a low-energy, laid-back pup who thrives on relaxation and companionship.Craig is a gentle soul who loves to nap next to his favorite humans and enjoys playing catch with his stuffed toys. He’s great with kids and gets along with calm cats and dogs—just give him a little space when he’s enjoying his downtime!While Craig is a sweetheart, he can be a bit sensitive about having his face and ears touched, especially during grooming or vet visits. He may not be the biggest fan of handling in those situations, so he’ll need a patient and understanding owner who can help him build confidence. With some training on reactivity, he can learn to feel more comfortable around new friends.Craig would thrive in a loving home where he can enjoy plenty of cuddles and quiet time. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s happy to lounge around but also enjoys a game of catch, Craig might be the perfect fit!Located in BurlingtonHOME REQUIREMENTS FOR CRAIG- NO YOUNG CHILDREN- SHIH TZU EXPERIENCENOTES FROM OUR FOSTER Does your foster need more work in the area of house training?A: He is good but doesn't really ask for the door. If is in the crate he won't make mess. He can use the peeped but I make sure to bring him outside before he use it.A: Craig not showing aggressive toward other dog or people when walking on leash . But if a dog will come to close to him and smell him he may be reactive. Not bite but bark.He is friendly to every human that he met.
