Dogs for Adoption

Bugsy

I’m Bugsy, a one and a half year old Pug.

I was originally purchased to become a stud, but I really wasn’t into the girl that much, so their project of breeding us fell apart.

So now I’m with Sophie’s Dog Adoption, getting neutered and looking for an actual family to love me as a member of their family.

I’m great with dogs, ignore cats and generally a great little dude.

If you have always wanted a pug, here’s your chance to get me through a rescue and not a backyard breeder!

Pending Adoption

Lakeisha

I’m Lakeisha, a beautiful poodle, almost 1 year old and already looking for a new home by no fault of mine.

I’m a very well behaved girl, not as big as a Standard, but est bigger than a Miniature. So you can call me a medium sized poodle!

I’m great with kids, other dogs, can stay home, housetrained, quiet and generally a good girl.

If you’re looking for a high maintenance but non shedding dog, think of me!

Lamar

I’m Lamar, a 4 month old puppy looking for a permanent home.

I’m oh unknown breeds, mom was a petite 30lb mix, and I never met my dad!

As a young boy, I’m active, curious and playful. Obviously very young, so I will n et you to teach me right from wrong. But I’m proving to be a very smart puppy.

I’m good with other dogs, totally cool with cats (they rule!), and being crate trained to facilitate my first year of becoming a structured dog.

If you think you’re looking for a fur baby, I may be the one. I’m not planning on getting very big, no more than mom was.

You have to realize the next year will be different from what you know!!

Lil Chiko

I’m Lil Chiko, an 8 year old toy poodle.

I’m a super friendly little dude, get along great with other dogs, smaller than most cats and absolutely adorable.

My teeth are horrendous, so I’ll be getting a full dental, but we’re not sure I’ll have any teeth left!

I’m looking for someone who will take great care of me and cherish me until the end. 

I have a good ten years left in front of me, so be ready to commit if you are looking at me. I don’t want to move again in a few years.

Adopted

Pappa

I’m Pappa, a 4 year old Shih Tzu looking for a home where someone is home a lot!

I don’t like staying alone as I will cry and neighbours don’t care for that. So you need to have a house so the neighbors won’t get upset when you leave.

I’m super friendly, affectionate, good with dogs, cats and kids. I’m just a joy to be around.

If you think I could be your new best friend, put in an application and let’s meet!

Spikey Chi

In a little fellow, and my name is Spikey Chi. I’m an 8 year old Chihuahua, and following a dental, I’m left with one tooth! Sophie calls me the one-tooth bandit! 

I’m absolutely adorable. I’m tiny (5.6 lbs), and super friendly. I bark at people who come over, respond to other barking dogs outside, but other than that I’m super quiet. I’m pee pad trained, but also enjoy going for walks or going in the yard. But you have to watch out for holes under fences! I’m a bit of an escape artist.

I’m great with everyone, big or small. I live with other dogs right now, and get along with the little ones. The bigger dogs, I try to bite their nose off, but with one tooth, it’s never a success.

If you are looking for a funny cuddly, sweet boy, I’m your dude!

Dogs for Adoption

Chanelle Chi

I’m Chanelle Chi, a 7 year old Chihuahua on a diet. I arrived at 15 lbs, but the vet says I should be 7-8 lbs maximum.

I’m super sweet, a little shy at first, but once you know me, I’m great.

I’m on a strict diet, walks are hard right now, so I exercise by playing with my toys. I throw them, run after them, and can entertain myself all day!

I’m in great shape other than a little wheezing from being so heavy. But the vet says once I trim down, that will get better.

If you are looking for a quiet, gentle, sweet Chihuahua, I may be just what you’re looking for.

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

Adopted

Schnoopy

I’m Schnoopy, a 14 year old Schnauzer/Poodle mix, looking for a new home.

You see, my mom and dad were placed in a home where I couldn’t go, and the family “couldn’t” take me because they already have dogs and cats.

I’m super healthy for my age, I certainly have several good years in front of me.

I’m great with other dogs, can live with cats and older kids, as I’m very gentle and friendly.

Of course I have a reduced adoption fee, but you still need to be able to afford the future care of a senior dog. If you’re ready for that commitment, read below!

Pending Adoption

Maggie B

In Maggie B, most likely a Schnauzer mix, and I’m a year old.

I weigh about 25kg, so fairly big girl, but sweet as can be. I’m good with kids, ok with with cats and great with dogs. However, I do have some leash reactivity which needs to be worked on to make our walks fun.

I also don’t care to stay alone very long, so someone who is quite present or can work on my separation anxiety, would be the best.

If you’d like to eventually meet with me, put in an application. You’ll just adore me!

Dogs for Adoption

Bubba

I’m an old boy, looking for a compassionate adoption.

I was living in a home where I was severely neglected in the past few years, I arrived with horrendous eye and ear infections.

To make it worst, I’m completely blind and my hearing is not so great from the massive ear infections I had.  I do have dry eye syndrome, or KCS, so I need artificial tears to help as my eyes don’t produce them on their own .

My heart and lungs are great, I still have a lot of “joie de vivre”, so I’m looking for a compassionate home to take me in until the end. I still have a few good years in front of me, if you’re willing to give me the care I need.

Adopted

Bella Waii

I’m Bella Waii, a newly arrived girl from Hawaii, where I was to be euthanized at the pound due to overcrowding.

My mix is unknown, I’m long and short legged, and shepherd looking! I’m no more than 25 lbs.

I’m 4 years old, and probably never had a real home. I was found in the streets and have lived in a shelter until I arrived in Canada earlier this month.

I’m very shy and scared of new things, learning to walk on a leash is all new too.

I’m very quiet, good with other dogs, no reaction to cats, so I could live in pretty much any kind of family.

If you think you could be the family for me, put in your application and let’s meet!

Boston Boy

I’m Boston Boy, a one year old Boston Terrier and I’m looking for my 3rd and final home.I’m super happy-go-lucky, I’m housetrained, can stay alone, can be crated, I like other dogs and I’m even good with kids.I’m a little energetic, so someone active would be the ideal home for me.If you think we could become best pals, apply to adopt me!

Lilly Chi

I’m Lilly Chi, a sweet 10 1/2 year old Chihuahua. I recently got spayed, and needed a full dental. Unfortunately, I lost 10 teeth, but I feel so much better.

I am not a young dog, but despite my age, I have many years in front of me. If you feed me quality food, take me for check ups and give me great care, I could be around another 10 years.

I’m super friendly, affectionate, gentle and quiet. A real dream 

If you would like the experience of a NICE chihuahua, you want to meet me!

Adopted

Nemo

You are looking for a mellow, quiet, easy going buddy? I may just be the guy for you.

I’m Nemo, a 7-8 year old Shih Tzu who was given up because of a toddler who didn’t understand I’m not a toy. He would pull my tail, ears and it was unpleasant.

Ideally a quiet home is what I want, kids would be ok if they’re old enough to respect me as I don’t have a mean bone in my body.

I am getting a full dental asap, so how many teeth I’ll have left is a guess. They are pretty bad at the moment. Other than my teeth, I am very healthy. I’m quiet and friendly, you couldn’t ask for a better dog.

So if you think you’re the one for me, and I’m the one for you, you know what to do.

Mimi Jack

I’m Mimi, a 9 year old, female, Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix.

My human moved out and left me behind with his roommate. Not knowing what to do, I’m now with Sophie’s Dog Adoption.

I’m getting a full dental this week, and I’ll be ready to smile at my future family.

I’m great with the dogs in foster care, I’m very friendly and easygoing. If you want to give me a good home for my retirement years, I’ll be forever grateful.

Adopted

Pie

I’m Pie, a 10 month old female who comes from a country where dogs are seen as vermin.

I’ve been shot and run over as a puppy, and after many months of rehabilitation, I am able to run by freely again.

I’m looking for the home in the Land of the Free, where I know I will never be mistreated again. I am full of love and would like nothing more than to find a home to call my own.

If you want to give me a chance, pit in your application.

Adopted

Gaston

I’m Gaston, a 9 year old Chihuahua whose dad died two years ago, and the person I was left with did not take good care of me.

I was just neutered and had 10 teeth extracted due to a horrible mouth. The pain was horrendous. I could barely eat.

I’m a sweet boy, good with other dogs, friendly and affectionate. I’m housetrained and can stay alone while you’re at work. 

All in all, I’m looking for love once again, and this time forever.

Dogs for Adoption

Mylo Pit

I’m Mylo, a gorgeous 6 year old, male pitbull. I’m big and stocky, but a charmer. I am around 90lbs so for strong hands. I love being on your lap if you’ll let me !

I live with two cats, I’m great with dogs and have no bad habits. I’m only looking for a new home due to personal circumstances, not because of behavioral issues.

I can stay home alone, fully housetrained and even pretty good on walks. I’m not at all reactive, but like to pull so I can sniff everything.

I’m not yet neutered but will be included with adoption, it is NOT negotiable.

I really like kids too, but maybe a little bouncy for young ones. I understand French, English and Spanish! I’m a real smart boy.

If you think I’d be a dog for you, put in your application.

Adopted

Phoebe

I’m Phoebe , a 19 week old girl from a litter of 8 puppies, that came to Isla Animals Rescue in Mexico, at a only a week old, where I received great care 

I am adventurous just like my sister Monica. We love to play with each other and other dogs, who will participate in our shenanigans. 

The house cat made it clear that he will not be participating in any of this, which I’ve learned to respect. 

I’m your typical puppy that enjoys exploring, running around finding things to chew on. I can easily be redirected by showing me a safe toy, which will get me to gnaw on something safe while I’m teething.

I’m a happy girl who is starting to understand that snuggles with a human are quite enjoyable.

I’m currently working on recall, crate training, walks outside and housetraining.

A puppy trainer is recommended as I am possibly a terrier mix. I have shorter legs and will most likely be the size of my mom, about 16lbs.

Lilo

My name is Lilo. I am a 6 year old long haired “Chihuahua”, or so they said.

I’m super friendly, affectionate, a little shy but that’s part of my charm.

I’m housetrained, can stay alone, eager to please and love getting attention.

I will need regular brushing as I may be mixed with a Sheltie. That would be Sophie’s guess!

I’m good with other dogs, but I can be a little dominant so my ideal home would be without other dogs.

If you think I’m someone you’d like to get to know, put in your application. I’m very sweet, beautiful, and from what Sophie thinks, I’ll be VERY popular. So don’t wait!
