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!

Garnet

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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!

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.

Thumbelina

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!

Onyx

I’m Onyx and I come from Ivory Coast. I’m a 6-year-old miniature Poodle, and I came to this beautiful country with my family, only to be told the landlord wouldn’t allow me to live in the apartment.

I’m looking for a home that will keep me until my old age. I’m super healthy, active, friendly and gentle. 

I love kids, I’m good with other dogs and I would love a family with both.  I can stay home, I have no separation issues as I’ve been through a lot in life. I really just live in the moment!

If you’re looking for a sweet gal like me, you know what to do!

Dumpling

I’m Dumpling, Ti Bo and Nugget’s mom. Thank goodness I was given up, no more babies for me. 

I am also very skittish, as we were not treated well at our previous place  

However, I am also a very quiet and mellow Chihuahua, and very loving once I know you. I can be a little thief with food, but it only adds to my charming personality.

I am about 3 years old, and looking for a loving family for the rest of my life. I am pee pad trained, but would probably learn to enjoy going in walks.

If you think I’m the one for you, here’s the first step:  visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

Nugget

I’ve been named Nugget by my rescuer. I’m a shy, quiet, friendly 1-year-old Chihuahua. I have a brother, Ti Bo, who is in a potential home.

I am also looking for that perfect home. We came from a “breeder” who did this for the $$$. 

I’m coming out of my shell, but still a little skeptical of new people.  I am pee pad trained, as I’ve never been on a leash before.

All in all, I need someone to love me and I will give it back with all the love in my little body.

Killua

My name is Killua, but you might as well call me Kilowatt because I’m just bursting with energy! I’m small, but if you want a running companion I’m the dog for you.

I’m a two year old medium Spitz type. I’m

active, alert, intelligent, affectionate, playful and love treats. I’m especially good at fetch and tug-of-war.

I’m very friendly with both people and dogs. I love playing chase and wrestling with other dogs, but if I live with other dogs full-time I confess I’m going to annoy them by stealing their food and toys. 

All my coat needs is a weekly brushing but if you want to go all out and bathe and blow-dry me, I’m fine with that too. All attention is good attention! 

I love my walks and runs. These days I walk about 4 km/day and run in the dog park for about 45 minutes. If I could run even more I’d be even happier. My favourite way to live is to wear myself out then sleep for hours. 

I potty outside but I’m also paper trained. At first in a new home I might pick out my own little private spot in the house to do my business in peace. If that doesn’t work for you I’m quick to learn your preferences. I’ve had to go through a couple of homes so it can get confusing sometimes. 

Like I said, I’m alert and intelligent. If you leave me alone too long I’m going to get bored and get into things. I’ll bark at squirrels and random noises, and rummage around for things to chew. I particularly enjoy going through wastebaskets and laundry baskets. You can crate me, I’m totally fine with that. I’d prefer to have someone around to give me guidance and reassurance though. 

If you want to be my final home, I will love you forever! Kids or not, I’ll be happy with runs, attention and love.

Nina Mork

I’m Nina Mork, a 10 month old “designer dog” (Maltese/Yorkshire) and I’m looking for a COMPASSIONATE adopter.

You see, I come from a horrendous, but legal “breeder” in Quebec. I was sold with NO guarantees on Hypoglycemia or Genetic diseases.

Long story short, I suffered from hypoglycemia in my first 2 months after being purchased, and I also have a severe liver shunt (https://vcacanada.com/know-your-pet/portosystemic-shunt-in-dogs), that in my case is inoperable. 

I weigh a tiny 4 lbs, and I need to be fed a home-cooked diet for the rest of my life, which has a very short expectancy. I also need lactulose and occasional antibiotics, as well as certain supplements that can help me.

If all is done correctly, I may live another full year. I do not suffer, and I don’t want to be euthanized just because of my “special needs”. I’m hoping and wishing my dream of a loving home until I’m too weak to go on, will come around and smother me with love.

I’m playful, active, super affectionate and just want to be loved.

If you want more info on what my needs are, contact Sophie directly at info@sophiesdogadoption.com and she will send you an application if you think I’m the one you want to care for. Ideally, you should be home a lot or work from home.
