Dogs for Adoption

El Diablo

I’m El Diablo. I came from the same home as Toupie. I’m about 8 years old, and also a Chihuahua, but I’m fat! I’m close to 10 lbs.

I’m also getting a full dental, as my teeth are really bad too. Brushing my teeth will be a must of you don’t want me to go through that again.

I’m much more scared and nervous than Toupie. I’m just starting to venture around the house, and came on the couch recently.  With time and patience, I will learn to trust.

I’ve also never been on a leash, just having a collar on is a big deal, so you will need patience to teach me that outside is fun.

If you want to give me that special home, I’ll be super grateful.

Toupie

I’ve been named Toupie, because I turn around regularly. It’s either from being in a cage at a pet shop, or it’s neurological. Either way, it doesn’t hinder my ability to get around.

I’m about 4 years old, and a very tiny Chihuahua. I came from a home where there was 20 of us living with an elderly lady. We were not in a “bad” situation, but she could no longer care for us properly.

I’m having a full dental this week as my teeth are horrible, so we’ll see if I lose any or even all!

In super sweet, a little shy, very gentle, mellow and super quiet. I’ve never been outside, so pee pads is where I go at the moment. Maybe in the Spring, you can take me out for walks and try to teach me.

To meet me will be to love me, I guarantee!

Noodle

Leave a comment

Hi, I’m Noodle! I’m probably a poodle mix and about two years old. My hair can grow quite long and get matted so I need to be kept trimmed and regularly brushed. 

I weigh about 6 kilos (13 lbs) so a “small” dog but I’m big enough to not be too delicate.

I’m very sweet, quiet, friendly, forgiving, cuddly and happy go lucky. No separation anxiety. I get along with dogs and adults and would probably enjoy kids to play with too.

I’m a young dog so I need to get out every day to stretch my legs. In the winter I get cold (even when I wear a jacket) so I need to be able to run to warm myself up. 

The people in my last home had health issues that meant they couldn’t walk me any more, so now I’m looking for my forever home. Whoever you are, I know we can make eachother happy! 

To apply, visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ (http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/) and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

I will be quite popular, so get your application in sooner than later.

Garnet

Leave a comment

My new name is Garnet. My past is unknown, I came from a home that had 20 of us, all small dogs.

I’m a mix, unknown, but possibly Chihuahua/Daschund mix. One of my parents had long hair.

I’m about 4 years old, and very nervous in my new surroundings. I will need time to feel comfortable being touched and picked up, but I’m not agressive at all.

Ideally a home that can take me for walks, give me the opportunity to discover the real world and be someone’s best buddy.

If you think you might be interested in me, put in an application. As time goes, I’ll come out of my shell and by the time we get to meet, you’ll know more about me.

Loki

Leave a comment

You’re looking for a Doodle? I may be the one for you.

My name is Loki, I’m just over a year old and I’m a Doodle. I was sold as a Poodle/English Sheepdog, designer name “Shepa-doodle” .

I’m a very sweet dog, good with all dogs, even annoying barky chihuahuas, and I’m great with kids.

I love my toys, and could play fetch all day. I’m therefore looking for an active family with kids who are old enough to play with me. That would be my ideal home.

I walk very well on leash, fully housetrained and crate trained if you leave me alone. Due to my young age, your shoes could possibly become toys when you’re not there, so crating me in the beginning would be the best.

I was recently shaved by a groomer who gave me the worst haircut ever (shaved me right down), but it will grow back. The pictures are how I looked before the bad hair day!

If you think I’m for you, put your application in. I may be quite popular so don’t wait too long!

Kevin

I’m Kevin, a miniature Poodle mix, maybe with a shih tzu and around 2 years old. I’m around 15-18 lbs so not very miniature!

I come from the James Bay area, I used to live with a family and young kids. Unfortunately I’m now looking for a new home.

I’m good with other dogs, clean in the house, friendly and affectionate. I’m great with kids, can stay alone and can also be crated when you’re out 

If you think we could be pals, put in your request.

Toto

Leave a comment

My name is Toto. I’m a.6 yr old male Shih Tzu, looking for a new home.

I’m great with small dogs, but a little nervous around large ones.

I lived with cats, kids and I am super friendly.

I am used to pee pads, but have never been on a leash. So walking me will possibly take some learning. I do go in the yard and used to follow my mom off leash when she went out front with me.

Obviously in a new area, I don’t recommended it as I may run off. I’ll make a great companion for all ages!

Hercules

Leave a comment

I’m Hercules, born in February 2016, and I’m a standard Daschund. A little on the heavier side, but nothing we can’t fix!

I’m looking for a new home, as my family has grown and I’m no longer tolerant of children.

I’m housetrained, chill and easy going. I love to go for walks, despite my short legs.

I’ve lived with cats and have no issues with them, and I’m super friendly with all dogs.

Ideally would be a retired person or couple who likes to go for daily walks. I love to eat, so to maintain my shape, we’ll have to adjust to a routine!

I may be the perfect companion for you.

Bobo

Leave a comment

I’m Bobo, a 2 year old long haired male Chihuahua. I’m charming, cute and super affectionate.

I just got neutered, so I’m still marking a little bit, but with some training, I should catch on quickly.

I go outside, but also could learn to use pee pads.

I was given up because I bit a child, so ideally no kids for me. Better safe than sorry! Chihuahuas are not that great with kids in general.

Ideally I’m looking for someone who loves company, I’ll become your best buddy.

If you  think I could be a match for you, put in your application!

Gringo

Leave a comment

I’m Gringo, a tiny 5 lb chihuahua. I’m loveable, affectionate, playful and independent.

I’m 7 years old, and I love people, but don’t pick me up!. I’ll jump on your lap, sleep in your bed, lay on the sofa with you, but don’t pick me up!

I love going for walks, love treats but I’m a picky eater. Some fat on me certainly wouldn’t hurt!

Ideally I see myself with one person, and eventually you’ll be able to pick me up, but you’ll need to give me time for  that. I just got neutered and a full dental, so I have beautiful teeth. But… I do still mark from time to time. I’ll need a little work on that issue, so access to a yard would help.

If you think I dude like me could be your next buddy, you know what to do! To apply, visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

Hawaiian Milo

I’m Milo, and in Hawaii they pronounce it “Mee-lo”.

I’m a mutt of a mutt, my mix is really a guess. I’m about 25 lbs, so not a very big dog.

I’m about 4 years old, and was lucky enough to get out of the shelter for a new life in Canada.

I’m super friendly, addictions affectionate and playful. I’m looking for a family that will love me forever.

Pogo

I’m Pogo, a 4 year old standard Daschund, and unfortunately I’ve been diagnosed with a condition that is rendering me blind. It’s called SARDS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_acquired_retinal_degeneration_syndrome.

There is no cure, just getting used to being blind. It is progressing daily, unfortunately, so I will soon be totally blind.

Obviously stairs are to be avoided, not only due to my breed, but now my blindness.

I’m super friendly, great with kids and other dogs. I just need a place where I can walk around without bumping into too many things. Eventually, I’ll know my way around.

If you want to become my new family, please apply. I deserve a great home and will give you all my love in return.

Chloe Mork

Leave a comment

I’m Chloe Mork, a 5 year old retired breeding mom. They call me a Morkie, but I’m really just a designer mutt.

I’m a very sweet dog, a little skittish at first but once I get comfortable it gets better. I will still occasionally jump at loud noises but generally I’m very calm.

I prefer a home with no young children, as I don’t quite get their body language and I may want to stay far.

At home I like to snuggle up with you and would love to sleep in your bed.

I get along with other dogs, but I’m socially awkward and don’t really know how to play. I don’t even know what to do with toys. I bring them from room to room once in a while, but I’d like for someone to teach me how to actually play!

I have been learning to walk on a leash, but it’s still some work. I can be reactive when I see other dogs. As for my business, I haven’t figured out if I prefer grass, or the middle of the street!

I’m also pee pad trained but until you get the placement of them pads right,  I may have accidents. You do need to watch me, as sometimes I’ll eat my poop.

I have no problem staying home alone, no separation anxiety.

I would be the ideal companion to someone who lives a quiet and laidback life. I will be loyal and give so much love to whoever has the opportunity to adopt me.

It will just take some time and patience but I’m well worth it.

Stello

Leave a comment

I’ve been named Stello by my rescuer and we’re going with that!

I’m a Yorkshire mix, probably around 4 years old, and I’m a total mystery.

I was found abandoned, shivering and scared in a local park. Hours went by, nobody came looking for me so a lady took me home.

After checking to see if someone was looking, contacting authorities, checking for a microchip, I was brought to Sophie’s Dog Adoption.

My teeth were horrendous, so I had a full dental for, but we also discovered that my back legs are atrophied. I was walking real weird, the the x-rays show my femur on both sides, are curved and deformed. 

I don’t remember my past, but my nails were sooooo long they were literally circles, so it looks like I grew up in a horrible place, probably a cage with a wire floor.

However, I can do pretty much anything, it doesn’t affect me physically. 

I’m friendly, quiet, clean, love walks and very affectionate. I’d be a great dog for a lot of different homes. I just need to find the best!

Fiona

My name is Fiona. I’m a Giant Schnauzer and I’m a beautiful big girl at 80+ lbs (I could lose a few lbs).

I’m almost 8 and travelled from Mexico, but my family had a baby, and I’m really not a fan. Snarling, growling, barking… My humans are afraid I’ll eventually her her.

So here I am, looking for a mellow household for my retired years.

I’m great with other dogs, walk super well on leash, easy to groom and just a big, easy going girl!

If you think you’d like me to spend the rest of my life with you, put in your application.

Milo

Leave a comment

I’m Milo, a typical backyard breeder dog. At barely 1-1/2 years old, I’m looking for a new home.

I’m super skittish, scared of people, my own shadow and anything else that moves.

I was just neutered, and the vet discovered a serious heart murmur, grade 6 on 6. That means I’ll need to keep a mellow life, limited exercise and no excited play.

Once I get to know you, I’ll cuddle with you, but for now I need to be “handled with care”. No trying to grab me, pick me up, make me sleep on your lap. That will take some time. The more you push, the more I pull away.

I’m looking for that perfect home, who will know to love me despite my quirks, and help me overcome my fears.

Packo

I’m Packo and I was told I’m a Chihuahua/Sheltie mix, but I never saw my birth certificate. I’m not even sure of my birthday.

I’m about a year old, I’m great with kids over 5, I’ve lived with a cat and get along great with other dogs.

Ideally not the best apartment dog, as I can bark at noises, when I’m excited, etc.

I’m ok being alone during the day, not destructive, clean and generally easy to train.

I’m friendly, affectionate and walk great on a leash. If you think I could be the dude for you, fill out a form.

Coukie

I’m Coukie and I came to Canada for a better life, unfortunately, due to our living situation, I am looking for a new home.

I’m almost 10 years old, but still very healthy and active. I’ve always been well cared for, it’s by no fault of mine that my mom had to give me up.

I am great with kids, and get along with other dogs, despite being a little bit dominant with some. I’m friendly and affectionate and love going for walks.

I’m looking forward to my first winter, not sure how I’ll like that, but I am looking forward to discovering snow.

I’m Thumbelina, a beautiful 3-year-old Yorkshire who’s ready for a home.

You see I was rescued pregnant and had the last 6 puppies I’ll ever have.

I was spayed today and ready to be loved as a member of your family, not a cash cow.

I’m a super friendly, affectionate, happy-go-lucky girl. I’m great with people of all ages, including kids. 

I’m active, loyal, playful and would love to be the newest member of your family.

Ol’Cooper

I’m Ol’Cooper, a 12-year-old Bichon Frisé mix looking for a “retirement” home since my now-retired parents decided to travel, and I don’t fit in their plans.

I’m super sweet, very healthy for my age, I maybe losing my hearing a little bit, but active and especially affectionate.

The ideal home would be a retired person or couple, and if they travel by road, I’d love to come along! But I’m fine with couch potatoes who don’t too!

It’s Quebec, what can I say? It is what it is, however, if you want to be a “good home”, adopt me and live with me forever!
