Sheila

My name is Sheila. I was bounced around from the time I was first purchased, probably in a pet shop, because I am an active puppy! What do people think they are ‘buying’, a stuffed toy?

So I am at least looking for my 3rd home, and am about 7 months old. I am a very sweet girl, but young and energetic. I’m great with other dogs, cats, and people. I am a beagle mix, it’s obvious, but with what…. that’s anyone’s guess. Maybe with some sort of Hound, as I am taller than a Beagle….

I am looking for a stable home. A family or couple/person looking to give me exercise, discipline, structure, guidelines and love for the rest of my life. I don’t want to bounce around, it’s very hard to get the hang of things when you change homes every couple of months.

I am eager to learn and please, but I need someone who will take me in to give me a real life, not to look at how cute I am and let me do what I want. I am a hound type dog, and we need exercise, but mostly discipline and structure or we do whatever we want. Keep in mind our nose takes us places, so we are great at running off. I am looking for someone who will be able to keep their eye on me, not leave me in a yard to have fun running after squirrels!

Belle

My name is Belle. I am a 6 year old Chihuahua who is unfortunately looking for a new home due to my mom passing away.

I was living with Mylo 2 and Sanchez, and all of us are now looking for new homes. We have been split up so can be adopted separately, but having another dog with me would probably make me adapt better.

I am very shy and mellow, good with kids if they are not too rough. I am good with other dogs, and would do fine with cats.

Zeus 3

I am Zeus 3! A sweet boy, who unfortunately was born in Lebanon about 4 years ago and have never known what a home is…:(

I was rescued during the war in 2006, and was never adopted in Lebanon. My chances are: I never will be. I am a ‘mutt’, and a large one at that, but I deserve a chance at a good life. This is why BETA sent me here, so I’ll have a chance at a real home. My mix is a bit of a guess, but probably some sort of sheep dog in my ancestry somewhere.

I am housetrained, calm, smart, obedient, get along with other dogs, and love human affection. A pretty good resume for a homeless dude, huh!

I will make anyone a wonderful friend and companion, if you think I could be dude for you, I would love to have you as a family!

Lolita

I am Lolita, a wonderful and sweet little girl who was abandoned in an apartment when my owners moved out. I am a pitbull, probably an AmStaff or similar breed, and from what it seems, no more than 14 months old. It is obvious that I had puppies at my young age, I finished weaning them no more than 4 months as my body has not yet taken back it’s feminine shape….

I have proven to be very loving, good with dogs, cats and most people, however I am a little weary of certain men. I also need some education, as I like to jump at people when I’m excited, and I nip them to give them ‘love bites’, but they sometimes hurt…. I need someone who will become Alpha and show me the way to being a well-behaved dog.

I do very well in a crate when you are gone, I do not bark, whine nor cry. I have been very quiet since I have been rescued, as a matter of fact nobody knew I was in the apartment until the landlord came in…. It had been vacant for 4 days.

Tyson 3

My name is Tyson 3, I am a very sweet, 1 year old Doberman. I am looking for a new family due to a move, as in most cases.

I have proven to be very well behaved, clean in the house, can stay alone without destroying anything, don’t bark for no reason and generally a great dog. I am friendly, affectionate, and a good protector. I love other dogs, am great with kids and adore people in general.

My ears have been mutilated, and we have not gotten to the truth of what happened, but I am still a beautiful boy. It is sad to look at me, but love is all I care about. I don’t need pity, I want to be loved for me, despite my looks.

Max 7

My name is Max 7, I am a sweet Bernese Mountain dog who is looking for a new home. Because of lack of exercise, I am overweight, but should lose those extra pounds in no time if you walk me daily.

I am about 3 years old, sweet and gentle. I am not crazy about strange men in general, but just ‘observe’ them. I don’t react aggressively, but they have not been too nice with me, so I have a preference for women and children.

Max 6

My name is Max 6. I am a Cocker Spaniel mix, and born in September 08. I am a pup, so already looking for a new home.

I am great with kids, good with cats and other dogs. I need some work on housetraining, but I am still very young.

There is not much more to say other than I am a puppy so if you are looking to adopt me, get ready! Having a puppy is at least one year of work in order to make us good canine citizens!

Médor

My name is Médor, and I am a sweet 10 year old Chihuahua. I lived with a senior person who is now in a home, and I am looking for a new place myself.

I am extremely overweight, so will need to lose some weight, and will need a good teeth cleaning. At my age, I may lose a few as I was not fed the best of food.

I am a little shy around new people, but once I know you I come out of my shell. I get along well with cats and other dogs, if they are not too big and scary.

Mojo 2

My name is Mojo 2, and I am another victim of divorce. I am 4 years old, and looking for a new home.

I am a very active dog, so I am looking for a family with lots of energy to keep up with me. I am very friendly, love people, get along with other dogs and not a barker.

I have a sensitive stomach, so I am on a special diet, but otherwise very healthy.

Stevie Wonder Dog

My name is Stevie the Wonder Dog, and I am a beautiful pitbull mix who was adopted as a puppy and unfortunately am looking for a new home again as my family moved to England and decided not to take me. I was born blind, but have managed to get around very well all this time. You would never know I’m blind except for the fact I look up at the sky when you speak to me.

Of course, you must be ready for the possibility that I may have complications in a few years that could require surgery. Right now the doctors don’t see any problems, but who knows what the future holds for me? I want someone who will not give up on me if I end up costing a little more money than a regular dog….. Please consider that before meeting me, as I will melt your heart.

Cassie

My name is Cassie, and I am a sweet little girl. I am a Cocker Spaniel, and estimated to be about 7 years old. I was found as a stray, and then put on death row as I am too old for some shelter’s standards.

I may be 7 years old, but I still have lots of life, love and adventure left in me!

I am very affectionate and love to be around people. I do cry a bit when left alone, but I am not sure what is happening. I am hoping to have a great home for the rest of my life, maybe even with someone who might be home a lot.

Gucci 4

My name is Gucci 4, and believe it or not, I was literally invited to walk out the front door and never return, along with my brother.

The person who found us found my brother a home, but I am still looking. I am 2 years old, always lived in the same home until they decided dogs were no longer wanted in their lives.

I am great with kids, cats, other dogs, clean in the house, can stay alone, but I do not know how to walk very well on a leash. I am overweight, and didn’t do much exercise, so I have some pounds to lose.

Cooper

My name is Cooper, I am about 1 1/2 years old and still very much a teenager.

I am a big boy, which is why the guess I might have some Mastiff. But it’s really just a guess.

I love people, other dogs, cats, kids, but I am a little dominant and excitable so I need someone who will know how to handle me. An Alpha is what I need, or I will manipulate and take over as boss of the house! I had a rough start, having already had 2 homes (if you can call them that) where my life meant being tied outside to a doghouse, and the family/kids coming to play with me once in a while. So rules on how to play soft??? Don’t know. I like to bounce on you, chew on your arms, knock you down if I can, all in good fun!! But… that is not what people consider well-behaved, and for that I was put on death row at the shelter where I was brought.

I am good during the day, if crated, as I tend to try and find food wherever food may be. I am housetrained, calm in general, and very friendly.

Oscar 2

My name is Oscar 2, I am a sweet and loving Dachshund. I am a male, 4 years old, and lots of fun to be around.

I don’t care for male dogs, but I have not yet been neutered (this will be done before adoption), which probably doesn’t help. However, I love females. I am also great around cats, as I don’t even see them! Literally, I could walk right over one! So I don’t have any desire to chase them at all. However, I love to play ball. I could chase that all day!

I am not too crazy about kids either, so a family or couple with no children would be what I need. I am not mean to them, just run from them as they kind of scare me. I am fully housetrained so no worries there.

Bart

My name is Bart. I am a beautiful and sweet, 4 year old Wired-Hair Dachshund.

Unfortunately I have been bouncing around for several years, I am very cute and friendly, but have a ‘terrier’ side to me which makes me harder to deal with than your average dog.

I love people in general, am very friendly and affectionate, but once I know you. I don’t do well at all with strangers, especially if I feel threatened or intimidated. I am very protective of my family, and unfortunately have had a couple of biting incidents with people who get too close that I don’t know.

I also don’t do too well on a leash when meeting other dogs/people, but this is getting much better. In both cases, I can certainly be worked with, but I am looking for a family who is really determined to work with me and give me the chance at a real life.

Ideally, someone who would not have to walk me on a street with many dogs, so maybe someone out in the country or more out of town so I could either walk in a neighbourhood without meeting too many people, or better yet, someone with a yard.

As for the incidents with ‘strangers’, the family would have to make sure I am put behind a baby gate or muzzled when newcomers come to the house, once I know everyone, I am fine.

There is a family out there for me, I know it, my question is: when will they find me? I am absolutely adorable, I have a personality that will charm anyone if given the chance.

Please contact Sophie’s Dog Adoption if you are an experienced person or couple who wants to really give me a chance. Because of my fear of strangers, a family with no kids would be best. I love kids, but you never know what ‘strange’ friend they could bring home!!

Odie

My name is Odie, and I am the sweeeeetest little guy! I am about 1 year old, a Chihuhua mix, probably with Jack Russel or Shih-Tsu, from looking at my body structure! I weigh about 15 lbs or so.

I love everyone. People, dogs, cats, kids, I would probably be great for therapy, as I just love to be hugged and kissed and petted.

I am good during the day, can stay alone without getting myself in trouble or messing up your house!

Pooch

My name is Pooch, I will be arriving from Beirut, Lebanon as soon as we can find a flight to take me here.

I am maybe an Australian Terrier mix, but it is really hard to say. I am about ** years old, and was found in pretty bad condition after being hit by a car and left there to die on the streets of Beirut.

I was brought to the shelter up there, the vets thought I would never walk again as I seemed to be totally paralyzed from the rear end. They made me a wheelchair to get around in, and all of a sudden, miraculously, one day I was all better! Now I am running around, playing, being a real dog and am looking forward to a real life in Canada, in the snow, playing with a family and having a real bed to sleep in. The shelter is wonderful up there, but I hear of stories from my buddies who came up before me, and they say they’re in Heaven!

So I want my chance too at the American Dream, a loving family, a winter coat and boots, my own dish and bed and friends to play with at the dog park! Wow, it sounds too good to be true.

Poutchi 2

My name is Poutchi 2, and I am a wonderful American Eskimo. I am about 8 years old, and great for therapy. I have been visiting nursing homes for the last few years with my first family, but was given away to someone who really had no time for me as I am high maintenance due to my beautiful, white, long coat.

I can stay alone, go pretty much anywhere with you and I am always well behaved. I have absolutely no issues whatsoever, one of the few rescue dogs that Sophie considers ‘perfect’. I have no bad habits, you can only love me!

Rupert

I have been named Rupert. I am about 5 months old, and was found in September tied to a telephone pole, with my water bowl and a squeaky toy. By 9:00 pm, someone who had seen me there all day, realized I was abandoned, no one was coming back for me.

So I was brought to Sophie’s Dog Adoption, and have been looking for a home ever since. I am a sweet dog, but very dominant. I will need someone with experience and lots of patience.

I am a yellow dog, I could be something like Collie / Lab mix, but it’s really just a guess.
