Askim

Well it looks like I’m not going to a new home after all. The lady who spent the afternoon with me on Saturday and was so excited of the possibility of me moving in my the end of this week, e-mailed Sophie the next day saying that after thinking about it, is no longer ready to adopt a dog.

So I’m in a new foster home, once again hoping that someone will want to give me that forever home. In case you already forgot, I am a really great dog who is good with kids, cats and other dogs.

Jolly Jumper

It’s Jolly Jumper, and even though I’m a jumper, I will not be bouncing around from place to place as I today I went into one of Sophie’s best foster homes. If I remain as good as I have been at Sophie’s and keep getting along well with Henry, my foster buddy, I am almost sure to stay there until I find a permanent family.

So now I’m ready to go the chop-chop shop (to be sterilized) get my vaccines and start a little training to make me into the most wonderful and Jolliest Jumper there is.

My foster home will find out more about my personality and update Sophie so she can find me the perfect match.

Idefix & Tinkie Winkie

Tinkie Winkie and myself (Idefix), just got dropped of in Candiac to a foster home who couldn’t decide which one of us to foster, so they decided to take both of us for a couple of days to see if they can handle the two. If not they will decide which one of us they will keep fostering and the other one will need a new foster home.

I’m kind of hoping that they will keep both of us, that way I can keep Tinkie company (since he doesn’t like being all alone) and it would save one of us from having to move again.


Rocket

I finally left Sophie’s place for a foster home with possibility of adoption. I went to the dog event thing today and charmed everyone.

Now I’m gonna play the cute card hoping that my potential new family will fall head over heels for me. I have such a great personality and I’m such a charmer despite a couple of tiny bad habits that if I make goo goo eyes they will just have to love me.

Bella 4

My name is Bella 4 a Boxer mix and again I’ve changed foster homes due to vacation plans. I went to the dog contest event in hopes that a permanent family would see me and fall in love, unfortunately because of my size and looks people thought I was intimidating so I had to stay out of the park. That means nobody got to see how truly sweet, gentle, playful and affectionate I really am.

I’ve been around since May and feel I’m ready to become a member of someones family.

Dog Contest – Fundraiser

A Big thanks to an amazing twelve year old girl named Sam and her cousin Maria, for organizing the dog contest fundraiser event held today, which was a success.

There was agility, talent and beauty contest. First prize went to Chief, a Husky, second place went to Angel, a Maltese and third prize went to Penny, a Poodle.

A total of $184 was collected for Sophie’s Dog Adoption. We thank all the participants for making it such a fun day.

Idefix

It’s me again, I’m back from my in-between foster home and Sophie hasn’t found another one yet. So I’m on my way to the dog contest event with the gang and hope that I catch someones eye and find a foster home today, or I’ll be going back to Sophie’s with the gang.

Update: Well today was quite a day, before arriving at the dog contest event and seconds after that picture of me sticking my head out the window was snapped, I jumped out and even though I was tied in the car my collar snapped and I found my self running in the middle lane of highway 40. Two lanes of traffic came to a stop and thankfully a dog friendly trucker directly behind Sophie, got out and grabbed me before I was squished on the road. He called me a real little stunt dog.

Unfortunately, that little stunt did not land me into a new foster home. So please, please be kind-hearted and give me a stable foster home until I find the family who will love me forever.

Dakota

We are on the look out for Dakota, a 12 year old Shepherd who went missing a couple of weeks ago near the top of Mount Royal and has not been seen since. He’s a friendly dog and it is suspected that he was taken or followed someone, possibly a street kid.

Someone called the vet clinic from his rabies tag but the cell phone number they left remains unanswered with a full voice box. Please keep your eyes open, especially in the Plateaux or Downtown areas.

He’s about 70lbs and he’s a neutered male. See the poster image below.

Askim

When people ask my name the response is Askim. That’s my name, Askim. I was in a 9 month old mix possibly Ridgeback and no one knows anything about me, as I was found roaming the streets. Despite the fact that i was very skinny, I’m filling out and turning into a stunning dog.

I run like a gazelle, play very gently with other dogs and think cats are really cute. Kids of all ages are my buddies so ideally a home that has all of the above would make me happy.

I’m unfortunately changing foster homes again, but an application was received today for me so I’m crossing my toes. So you cross your fingers and toes for me and hope that this will be my future home.

Babe

Remember me Babe, the seven week old deaf puppy who had reconstructive surgery? Well I’m now almost six month old and will be going to my new home next week. I was officially adopted tonight and can’t wait to move into my new home. Despite my handicap, I have made outstanding progress in learning to understand signs and body language.

My potential is huge and I’m looking forward to learning more and having a great life. I hope I get to go swimming allot as I just love playing in water. For all those who think I should of been put down, even though it took several months, Sophie knew there was someone out there for me.

Sunshine and the 7 Rays

I’m Sunshine the young mom who was found with my 7 newborn puppies. My little Rays are almost seven weeks old and are now quite active, they are huge and have become quite a handful and are driving me and my foster mom crazy.

We are now looking for foster homes who can take my little ones in pairs, as it is too much for one person to handle all seven. This will help with their socialization until they are old enough to leave the nest for good.

I have four boys: Rayko, Raymond, Raylen, Rayven and three girls: Raylee, Raynelle, Rayann and they are all absolutely gorgeous.

You can see more pictures of the puppies taken from their foster homes on Facebook.

Tiger 2

Update: I ran away last month and I’ve still not been found.

I’m Tiger 2 a five year old miniature Poodle and ever since my foster home left for vacation at the end of July I have been bouncing around looking for a new foster home.

I had a bad, bad start in life and that has left me very fearful of this big world. Basically strangers freak me out, and everyone is a stranger until they become a friend. I have bitten a couple of times so no one wants to be my friend. This last incident bounced me right back to Sophie because I attacked and ripped someones pants in the park.

I really am a charming sweet loving affectionate little Poodle and get along with all pets (cats & dogs) but I am a one person dog. So no kids and a very calm environment for me is where I will truly shine.

Noushka

Went to work with Noushka the three-legged Shepherd that came from Lebanon in her potential forever home on some of her issues while walking on leash. Of course she was on her best behavior most of the walk but displayed some of her fears which should be resolved with a little work on the family’s part. If all continues to go well she should have her home shortly.

Sophie working with Jika

Sophie is on her way back from working with Jika, a one year old Sheltie mix who has some serious leash aggression and barking issues. After being told by Animatch to have her put down, the family turned to Sophie’s Dog Adoption in order to save her life. Since Sophie is full she offered to work with Jika instead. The first session went very well and she will eventually have a wonder life.

Tyson 4 – In August

Urgent, Urgent, Urgent

I’m Tyson 4, my name, breed and attitude towards certain dogs make me unpopular. However I am the sweetest and most charming dog you’ll ever meet. Unfortunately I bit another dog on the street (no damage was done) but Sophie’s Dog Adoption was sent a notice to have me euthanized within 48 hours. SHE WON’T LET THAT HAPPEN.

So I’m in hiding and have been for two weeks and this is getting expensive and stressful so I need another place. I’m a 3 year old Pitbull, I’m great with kids, cats, people and could learn to socialize with other dogs. I just need the chance to stay alive. If you can’t foster me please be generous and donate funds to keep me in hiding, stressful and boring is better than the other options.

Tinkie Winkie

I’m Tinkie Winkie a 3 year old Lhasa Apso and I just got picked up from my foster home because I don’t like being totally alone and she had no other pets to keep company. So I need a new foster or permanent home with another dog. That’s my only issue, as I truly am a great little dog. Kids, cats and dogs I love them all.
