Rosie Dane

I’m Rosie, and actually Alexander the Great’s Mommy. I’m also looking for a new home as I gave birth in rescue but now that my puppies are gone, I need my own family.

I came from a “breeder” in Quebec who decided he was giving up his breeding. 

I’m going on 3 years old and have had several litters already, the last one left little Alex handicapped.

I’m a wonderful, calm, well-behaved dog. I can live with dogs, kids, cats and even chickens! I do not have a prey drive whatsoever.

I weigh in at 135lbs, so you need to have the budget to feed me and give me the care I need. The bigger the dog, the bigger the costs.

If you think I could be the right fit, an application is the next step.

Gabby

I’m Gabby, and I just arrived from Mexico.

I’m about five years old and I weigh in at a sturdy and muscular 4.8 kilos/ 10½ pounds. 

I descend from a distinguished line of Chihuahuas, and maybe a Dachshund? I have very long ears and a long body like a Dachshund; I’m very determined, courageous and greedy like a Dachshund; and I’m cuddly and affectionate like a Chihuahua. 

Even though I have short legs I’m a great jumper! I can run upstairs and jump onto furniture and everything! 

I can use a pee pad inside and I’m very tidy, but I need to go outside and work out my energy. Can you take me for walks every day please? I’m great on a leash and I’m enthusiastic about exercise. 

Being from Mexico, I find your weather here a little shocking to me. I like wearing warm clothes and sleeping in warm places, like snuggled up against you in bed. 

I’m very confident and I love people, even children. I’m okay with cats and with small dogs I live with. Large strange dogs on the sidewalk… not so much. They should stay away and I’ll tell them so. 

If you can entertain an active young dog and keep me busy, we’re going to have a wonderful life together!

Dogs for Adoption

Alexandre the Great

I’ve been named Alexander the Great little puppy!

I’m a 2 month old Great Dane, but I suffer from a condition called cerebellar ataxia. It’s a brain problem that prevents normal coordination to the limbs. The wires get crossed and I walk with a wobble. That means I will never walk normally.

However, it’s not severe, as I’m actually able to walk. The vet says that as I get stronger and my muscles develop, it may get a little better.

I will most likely not become a huge boy, but you have to realize I will still be a big boy. At 9 weeks old, I already weigh 15lbs.

I’m a great little pup, but being very young I need to learn everything. Wires and shoe laces are my favorite toy right now, so I need constant supervision. Like a toddler, if you do not see/hear me, go see what I’m up to.

I already know to get out of my bed to pee and poop, so within the next month I should have it all figured out. I don’t do stairs yet, so I’m looking for someone on a ground floor as I’ll start getting heavy. With my wobble, stairs might be challenging.

If you think you’d want to give me a chance as a wonderful home, please put in your application.

Blue Gene

I’m Blue Gene, a 5 year old Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix, and about 2 months ago, I fell off a balcony and was never taken to the vet.

Now, the “I’m moving” excuse came up and I ended up with Sophie’s Dog Adoption.

It turns out my leg is not broken, it’s a ligament issue. So we’re look into getting a brace made to help me use my leg more efficiently.

It causes me no pain as that time has come and gone, but I do tend to run on 3 legs.

I’m absolument wonderful, my foster home has zero negative things to say.

If you think you’d like to get to know me and possibly make me part of your family, put in your application! You’ll get the time to know me once you’re approved.

Dogs for Adoption

Spooky Huahua

I’m Spooky Huahua, a sweet and gentle 10 year old chihuahua.

I’m super friendly, pipi pad trained and very quiet.

I have zero teeth, so no worries there about future dentals! I love everybody, including the dogs living in foster care with me.

I’m healthy, full of life and ready for another 10 years in a wonderful home.

Dogs for Adoption

Sonic

I’m Sonic, a one year old chihuahua mix from Mexico.

I was found as a stray along with a bunch of us, and were brought to Isla animal shelter.

Sophie’s Dog Adoption has taken a few of us from there as there is an overpopulation and we need good homes.

I’m a little nervous about this cold weather coming, but with time and warm jackets, I’ll get used to it.

I’m great with other dogs, people and most likely kids too. I don’t have a mean bone in me.

So if you think I’m the one for you, put in an application and let’s eventually meet.

Dalton

I’ve been renamed Dalton, because I need a whole new life.

I’m a Pinscher/Schnauzer mix, 8 years old, and have basically been neglected my whole life.

I absolument lovrdy family, in my lifetime with them, I got 4 human siblings and a 5th on the way. I loved each and every one of them, so I’m super with kids.

I also had a few 4 legged siblings, but they all came and went. I was told I would never leave the home.

Well, here we are 8 years into it, with a 5th child on the way, my family decided to get a large breed puppy! A Pitbull /Cane Corso mix. 

All this dude wants to do is play with me, and it’s annoying. He’s 6 times my size already, so I’m letting him know I don’t like it!

Well guess what, my folks have decided that I’m “mean” and will give big boy some bad habits. So I’m out the door!

I’m going to the vet for the first time today, will need to get neutered and see what’s up with my hair. I’ve been so neglected, I’m bald in many areas. Might just be food allergies, but I look pretty pitiful.

I’m a great little guy who will make you super happy and will remain faithful and loyal to you for the rest ofy life.

Luna Maltzer

I’m Luna Maltzer, a sweet 3 year old Maltese/Schnauzer mix, and I’m being rehomed because my family divorced, and nobody wanted the responsibility. I had a human sibling, a 4 legged sister and two parents.

Now I’m living in a foster home while waiting for my forever home. I want this next home to not be for 3-4 years only, but for the REST of my life.

I’m fully house-trained, great with kids and people, I’m quiet and have zero issues.

Making me a part of your family will only add love and joy!

Tiny Too

I’m Tiny, a sweet, handsome, 75lbs German Shepherd.

I’m 3 years old and looking for a home due to many moves for my family and me.

I was born in Nova Scotia, then lived in Florida until about 4 months ago when we all moved to Montreal.

You see, I grew up in a very rural area, where I had access to a yard whenever I felt like it. And I do love the outdoors, but now I’m living in an apartment building and it’s just not ideal.

I’m very well behaved, great with kids, wonderful with dogs, but I live with a “mean” cat so I stay away from him.

I could use some leash training as I pull a little, but otherwise walk very well.

If you would like to find out if we could be buddies, apply and we’ll see!

Bindi

I’m Bindi, a 10 year old Australian Shepherd mix, most likely with border collie. I’m a female and weigh about 50 lbs.

Despite my age, I’m super healthy, active and full of life. I’m actually looking for a very active family or person.

I’m an absolute perfect dog, except for one issue, I don’t like being alone. So I’m looking for someone who not only is home, but willing to work with me on this separation anxiety. Sophie’s Dog Adoption will work with you during your two week trial with me, as it’s definitely something that can be addressed.

If you think you’re ready for me and the challenge of working with me, put in an application. I’m worth the effort.

Buster

I’m a handsome 9 month old boy named Buster, and my siblings and I were brought to Isla Animal Rescue in Mexico when we were only 3 weeks old. 

While growing up in the rescue, we had the best time playing together in the Oasis. ðŸ’•

My sisters, Bianca and Birdie (Dee), came to Canada at the beginning of summer and have both found their loving forever homes. Now, it’s finally my turn! 

I recently arrived and everything about me has made people love me even more.

I’m funny, goofy, playful, and always happy. I have a soft and gentle soul. I get along well with other dogs, although I’m still trying to convince the resident cat that we should be best friends. ðŸ˜¹

I’m curious and know how to enjoy life. Every morning is a new adventure for me — I’m always looking for the next thing to explore, play with, or chew! 

Because of this, his future human will need to have a little patience, understanding, and a good sense of humor. A missing shoe or a meal that mysteriously disappears may occasionally be part of life with me.

I’m eager to learn, very food motivated, loyal, curious, very smart, a master cuddler and ready to explore this big new world.

I currently weigh around 17 kg (37 lbs), and might get a little bigger.

Could you be my forever family?

Dogs for Adoption

Paco Mork

I’m Paco Mork, a sweet and gentle 7 year old Yorkshire/Maltese.

I’m looking for a new home due to no fault of mine, just another landlord making his own rules.

I’m super sweet, a little shy at first, but well behaved in general.  I’m not yet neutered (due to lack of space), so I’m marking my territory in the foster home as there are other dogs, but that will be resolved once neutered and in a stable home.

If you think you’d like to get to know me and see if we could become lifelong buddies, I’m game!

Charlotte Huahua

I’m Charlotte Huahua, a beautiful, but very shy, little 3 year old Chihuahua. I’m about 4 lbs, so tiny enough!

I was also used for breeding, so I’m very shy. I’ll need time to understand you actual want to cuddle with me.

I would see myself in a quiet home, so far I haven’t been barky so I could probably go live in an apartment.

If you think we could become good pals, put your application in. I will most likely be popular because of my size and age.

Dogs for Adoption

Lili ChiChi

I’m Lili ChiChi, a sweet 6 year old Chihuahua.

I was used for breeding so not the most socialized, but coming around slowly. I’m the kind of Chihuahua you can’t “rush”. I’ll come to you when I feel I can trust you!

However, I’m super cute, not barky and generally good with my foster siblings here.

I’m hoping for a wonderful home, where my adopter will understand my need to go slowly. I won’t be jumping on your lap for kisses right away, so if you’re ok with that, put in an application and let’s get to know watch other.

Oisin

I’m Oisin, age unknown but most likely Chihuahua mix.

I was rescued from the streets of Mexico after having been attacked by animals (probably cats) and left to die by the side of the road.

When I was found, the wounds had gotten really bad and I needed major surgery to remove the necrotized tissue.

I recuperated very well and was sent to Montreal for a chance at a real life in a home.

I’m super nice with other dogs, probably won’t mess with cats, and just want to be loved and cared for.

If you think I could be a great companion, put in your application and let’s see!

Daisy Pug

I’m Daisy Pug, as you guessed, I’m a Pug. I’m 6 years old and also a retired baby machine, but I’ll be getting spayed early September.

I’m super affectionate, great with other dogs and wonderful with kids. A little help in being fully house-trained is needed, as I have been living in a shed for the last little while.

All I want is a wonderful home who can put up with the grunting, especially when I get super excited! It’s not for everybody :)

If you’re looking at mey post with the desire to adopt me, put in your application and let’s go for it! You will not regret making me a member of your family.

Charlotte

I’m Charlotte, a 10 year old retired baby maker. I’m a Pug, so the snorting, grunting and snoring comes with the breed.

I’m super friendly, getting spayed very soon, and will be aiming for a great retirement.

I love kids, am great with dogs, and no issues with the cat in my foster home.

I’m house-trained, I’m able to stay alone, and I have no known issues.

I’m just a loving, grunting girl who wants all the love you have to give.

Jake

I’m Jake, I’ll be two in November and I’m a Boston Terrier mix. I’m absolutely beautiful and super sweet.

I was living with babies and kids, an old dog and a cat. I’m an all around super friendly dude.

I can stay alone while you’re gone, I’m not a barker and generally a mellow dog. Info love to tear toys apart, but I don’t touch your stuff. That a plus!!

If you know the breed and are looking for a great companion, you know what to do. Put in an application as I bet I’m going to be pretty popular.

Mia Huahua

I’m Mia Huahua, you guessed right! I’m a Chihuahua. I’m a girl, 6 years old, and about 6 lbs.

I’m getting a dental as my mouth is a disaster, so if you’re looking to adopt me, you’ll need to brush whatever teeth I have left so my mouth never gets this bad again.

I’m very sweet, get along with other dogs, can stay alone and pee pad trained.

I would be great pretty much with anyone. Whether you’re a family or a single senior, I will be happy to cuddle with you.

I’m sweet and looking for my new home, so don’t pass me up!

Bali

I’m Bali, a 7 year old male Chihuahua/Whippet mix and by no fault of mine, I need a new home as Mom was placed in a geriatric hospital.

I’m very sweet, a little lost but adjusting well. I’m good with the other dogs here, so no worries there.

Not much is known about me yet, but so far I seem quiet, mellow and house-trained.
