Hawaiian Chico

Aloha Canada! I’m Hawaiian Chico, and I just arrived from a shelter in Hawaii where I spent most of my life 

I’m about 3 years old, most likely a Catahoula mix, but Sophie thinks I may have some coonhound.

I’m super gentle, very shy still but doing well in my foster home, which consists of 4 humans, 4 dogs and one cat.

I would probably be fine with kids over 8, as I’m a very gentle soul.

I’m looking to finally have a home, with people who will love me forever. I’m used to getting love at the shelter, but from staff and volunteers who leave at the end of the day.

I want my own bed, my own family, my own “house” and maybe a yard. It’s the American Dream, and I think I can reach it in Canada. After all, we’re “neighbours”.

Jade

My name is Jade, and I’m a real gem. I’m less than two years old, and as per Quebec statistics, I’m already looking for my second home.

I’m a gorgeous girl, sweet, loving, good with dogs, great with kids, fine with cats and crate trained.

What more can you ask for? I’m super mellow but can get excited easily. So some “training” is needed, I also need to learn leash walking.

A boxer mix certainly, but with what? That’s anybody’s guess. I’m about 60 lbs, so not a tiny dog.

In presently in a foster home with two shepherd mixes, a scruffy terrier and two Chihuahuas and behave super well with all.

I would make a wonderful addition to an active family with kids, who wants to chill out with a sweet girl like me by the fireplace or on the couch watching TV.

Nitro

I’m Nitro, and I’m a 2-year-old survivor of the streets of Lebanon. 

I was shot in the front legs with pellet guns until I could no longer stand back in June 2021. Left for dead, I remained in the brutal heat for 10 days before I was rescued.

Not knowing if I could ever walk again, a team decided they would try different surgeries and rehabilitation to make me walk again.

After a year of surgeries, treatments, and rehabilitation, I can run and play like I should! I may not walk like others, but I am in no pain at all.

Having lived in a foster home back home, I got used to the “good” life. Couch, bed, love, food, and affection is what I’m looking for again!

You’ll have to learn how to integrate me, as I will want to protect you from “strangers” entering my new home!

Sophie’s Dog Adoption will help you get me started on the right (or left) foot!  

I am energetic, great with dogs, love the presence of humans and would be fine with gentle kids over 12.

If you think you want to be my new family member, fill in that application form! You will not be sorry you did once you meet me.

The ban that prevents any more dogs like me to have a chance at the Canadian Dream is unfair.  

Zola

Zola is my name, and 4 months is my age! Cane Corso mix? Maybe.

I was purchased by someone on Kijiji at 8 weeks. He had me a month, put me back on Kijiji.

A lady went and got me, she had me a month and realized as a single mom of a toddler, it was not easy to manage two babies! With 4 legs, I run faster than her toddler!!!

So now I’m with Sophie’s Dog Adoption to find my 3rd and final home. At this rate, I’ll have 12 homes in a year. Puppies are cute (and I’m adorable), but we’re a lot of work.

At 4 months, I’m a good puppy, but I’ll be teething soon. So furniture, shoes , remotes and wires, watch out!

If you are ready to take on the puppy challenge, and keep me my whole life, you know what to do.

Bosley

Well, what do you know! I’m only 11 weeks old and already looking for my second (and final) home.

My name is Bosley, I’m a beautiful Cocker, or mix, and as charming as can be.

I was purchased on a Saturday, and brought to Sophie’s Dog Adoption the following Tuesday! 3 days is how long I stayed with the person who “bought” me from a “breeder” on Kijiji.

I’m a puppy. So what can I tell you? I’m not housetrained, obviously. You’ll need to teach me that.

I use my teeth to play! I love slippers, wires, and carpets (pulling out the threads is fun!) so you need to work with me on teaching me right from wrong.

I’ll need lots of toys, and lots of stimuli, but most importantly you will need to have patience! I’m just a baby!

So there it is. I’m a puppy in rescue at only 11 weeks old. This is your chance to get a rescue dog that you’ll actually raise yourself!

But be prepared, I’m gonna be very popular. So put in your application fast if you want to have a chance at adopting me!

To do so, visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/

I will charm you while nibbling on your shoelaces!

Booch

Aloha Canada! I’m Booch and also from Hawaii. I’m a male and weigh about 50 lbs.

Bunny was my cellmate at the shelter, and when she hopped on a flight here, I was invited to come too! 

Some think we might be related, but that’s a guess. I’m also about 2 years old and our breed mix is also pure guess.

I am very friendly and love people! Whenever my foster mom sits on the couch, I cuddle up next to her.

I may be shy at first when meeting new people, but warm up quickly.

Besides being lovable I am super well-trained. I obtained a good citizen award in Hawaii! I do not pull on a leash other than when I see a squirrel, as those are unknown critters to us Hawaiians. I also know my basics, like sit and stay. 

I take direction very well. If I’m too close to the dinner table, or too close for comfort, I’m told to go away and I actually listen. 

I’m super quiet, I’ve only barked twice in a week, so would even be ok living in an apartment. Although I love going out, I’m very calm at home. I save my energy for outside.

I love walks and playing in the dog park. I’m a little unsure when dogs first come up, but after I get a sniff or two, I’m comfortable. I really like chasing them around the park!

I would do great with another dog, and kids too, however NO cats. 

It has been noticed that my back legs go inward, and I run on 3 legs instead of 4.  It looks like I had a leg injury that healed wrong, however, I walk totally fine. Even though I run on 3 legs, it doesn’t slow me down one bit!

Overall I am so lovable and have a wonderful, fun personality.  I’d love to be able to show a family I can be their best buddy! I am funny, love to cuddle, and definitely will see my human as my best friend.

I’ve waited my whole life (2 years) for a family. No more of the shelter life for me!

If I’m the pooch you’re looking for, go get the application and specify it’s for Booch!

Blind Rocky B

I was named Rocky by my original rescuer in Beirut. I’m about 4 years old, and like many before me, I have a sad story that led me to be a good candidate to send to Canada.

You see, I lived in the streets, where nice ladies would pet me, feed me, and walk with me at their place of work.

One day, one of the nice ladies didn’t see me, so she went looking. To her horror, she realized I had been shot in the face with pellet guns and left to die.

She hurriedly got me to a vet, where my vision was too damaged to be saved. There is no way she was going to leave me in Lebanon, so she found a way to send me here.

I am honestly THE NICEST dog. I love everyone, I’m super quiet and calm. I don’t pull at all on a leash (need some guidance so I don’t bump into things, like parked cars) Oddly for a shepherd-x, I barely lose any fur!

The only time I get really excited is when I hear my leash when it’s time for a walk. I do this high-pitch bark. I just LOVE going for walks.

I go to our local dog park and I get around just fine off-leash (it’s a large wooded walkable area with paths).

I’ve figured out the layout of the foster home and go up and down stairs easily. I just need guidance until I find my bearings.

I am good with dogs of all sizes, cats, and kids! I basically love life and everyone in it!

If you think I’m a good candidate for you, put in your application! You will not regret it.

Whistler and Jay

We are Whistler and Jay and have been siblings our whole lives.

We, unfortunately, lost our mom to cancer and are looking for a new home to take us to.

We are seniors, I’m a Mastiff and 15 years old, and my sister Jay is a 9-year-old lab mix.

We’re both healthy, but I’m losing muscle mass in my old age, so I’m getting skinny. But I’m still full of pep.

We both love people and kids, I can be selective with dogs, but that is primarily due to the fact Mom never had us sterilized.

My sister will definitely need to be spayed if we are kept together. As for me, I may be too old to take the risk.

If you are interested in possibly giving us that home, contact @Sophie Fournier to obtain an application form.

Benji 3

I’m Benji! Benji 3 for Sophie’s Dog Adoption.

I’m a terrier mix, maybe with bichon, and I’m 8 months old and about 15 lbs.

I was purchased from a puppy mill at 6 months by a lady of a certain age. Let’s just say I was too much for her. She couldn’t keep up.

I’m still young, so chew toys are a must. I am very smart and eager to please. I love the guinea pigs in my foster home and enjoy bugging the house dogs.

I love water, and will follow you around so camping, hiking, and trekking could be something I’d like!

If you think you might be the right home for me, put in an application. That’s the first step.

Sanjaghak

I am Sanjaghak, and I come from the mean streets of Iran. I’m a beautiful girl, most likely Collie mixed with Spaniel. Hard to say!

I was found a couple of months ago, just laying there unable to move anything but my head.

I was taken to a great veterinary hospital where they operated on my spine.  Thanks to them, I have started walking again and making significant daily progress.

I’m about 8 months old, so I have plenty of time to get stronger in my back legs. Right now I am able to walk around, but as soon as I get a little excited, I fall over. My walking is still very wobbly.

I am looking for a home that will continue to exercise me, possibly with the help of a wheelchair so that I can enjoy life like any other dog.

I’m super friendly, gentle, good with dogs, and people of all ages and sizes, and probably fine with cats. I don’t have a mean bone in me!

If you think you’d like to adopt me, put in your application! I will give you all the love back tenfold!

Sindy

I’m Sindy, I’m 2 years old and a petite Armenian girl of 15 lbs. My breed you ask? Don’t know.

You see, I was rescued from the streets of Armenia so nobody knows my background.

I’m missing an eye, but that only adds to my charm. I’m very shy, but coming out of my shell thanks to my foster siblings.

I’m friendly, easy-going, loving, and truly hoping to find a wonderful home to start this new life.

If you think I could be the one for you, put in an application.

Lucky Girl

Hello Canada! I’m one Lucky Girl who made it before the upcoming ban, and I’m so grateful.

I’m just a little over a year old, my mix….maybe Doberman, Rottie, or Lab? Whichever I may be, I am super sweet and absolutely gorgeous.

I’m great with other dogs and all people, but I haven’t been tested with cats. There are none iny foster home’s neighborhood to chase after!

I’m desperately looking for a true home I can call mine, as I was rescued as a young girl of 8 months and want to live the true Canadian Experience. The one that all the others have written home about who have come before me!

If you want to give me that life, don’t hesitate to put in your application before someone else does! I’m a gem of a girl.

Rosie B

I’m Rosie B, from Beirut. I’m a shepherd mix, about a year old, and rescued from the streets.

I am a little shy at first, but once I know you, I’m very playful and affectionate.

I’m young, so need daily exercise, but not a hyperactive dog. I am crate trained, as a house is fairly new to me, so it helps with my bathroom schedule.

I learn very quickly, love playing with other dogs, I’m fine with cats, and generally love nice people.

If you think I could become a good friend, put in your application!

Windy

My name is Windy, and I’m a one-year-old Lebanese rescue. I’m an alert and lively dog, most likely a husky mix.

I was raised in a free for all environment and as such did not receive much in the way of training, inside or outside the home. It will require patience and alertness on your part to give me structure and boundaries. I’m an early riser and have learned to signal when I need out.

My first attempts at walking on a leash and collar were reasonable but once cats and squirrels were in my eyesight, there was little control with just a leash.  Since then, my foster has been using a Halti as it gives you more control over me.

I’m also reactive to loud noises in the immediate vicinity, such as buses and trucks, as well as dogs on the other side of the street who bark at me. 

I love chasing and playing with dogs, but I don’t always know when to quit. I’m also a fan of running after balls and playing fetch.

All in all, I’m a young gal who needs the right environment to thrive and learn. I can counter surf as I’m quite tall, so no food unattended or it will disappear!

I have “snapped” a few times so looking for someone who will truly work with me to understand my needs and work on my general behavior. Everything is so new and different to me, so I’m quite nervous at times.

If you’d like to get to know me, put in an application.

Kira B

Hello Canada! I’m newly arrived from Lebanon and loving it so far!

I’ve been named Kira B, and I was rescued after being hit by a car. I was taken to a vet and operated on, however, some permanent nerve damage caused a tilt in my neck. But it makes me even cuter!

I’m good with dogs, cats, and people, but can get a little possessive and protective of my space and stuff (food, bones, human I’m with).

I love car rides and green spaces. I’m about a year old and waiting for that active, loving home.

My breed is totally unknown, your guess is as good as anyones! I’m about 50 lbs.

If you think I could be a good friend, go to http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ to obtain an application form.

Chiko with a K

I’m Chiko with a K, and I’m a 12-year-old chihuahua mix.

I’ve been given up for the usual reasons, “we’re going through a divorce, my new landlord won’t accept my dog”.

I loved the kids, I’m older than both. They would cuddle and hug me, it was a sad goodbye.

I’m not keen on men….don’t trust them all.

I’m quiet and clean, I just need a routine, food, love, and a comfy bed and I’ll be happy!

If you want to give me that great home for my senior years, go to http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

I’m still very healthy and have a few good years still to go. I’ll love you till my last breath!

Maya A

Hello Canada! I arrived from Armenia where I was rescued from Vanadzor, where people are not kind to my species.

I’ve been named Maya A, and I’m about 3 years old.  I’ve always been on my own, so the shelter was overwhelming.

I was given the chance to come to Canada before the ban comes into effect, in order to find someone who will want to share their home with me.

I’m not very big, about 45 lbs, and my breed is unknown. I’m scruffy, I’m a terrier, I’m blond and beautiful. Sophie considers me a pure scruffy mutt!

I get along with other dogs, I’m still very shy, not sure about leash walking, but want to be loved and love you back.

If you think I’m the girl you want to give a warm loving home to, you’ll need to be patient with me.

Malika

Je m’appelle Malika, j’ai 7 ans mais j’ai de l’énergie comme si j’avais 2 ans. Je me cherche malheureusement une nouvelle famille car ma maman a eue un bébé humain et me trouve trop énergétique.

J’adore les ballades, que cela soit en voiture ou en forêt. Je suis la parfaite compagne pour partir en camping ou en road trip!

J’adore chercher les bâtons, les balles et courir après les écureuils, les lievres ou les chats. Donc pas de petits animaux a la maison!

Je connais les commandes de bases : assis, couché, donne la patte, dans ton lit etc.

Je suis très affectueuse et toujours à la recherche de câlins, j’adore avoir de l’attention.

J’ai besoin d’apprendre a ne pas sauter sur les gens que je rencontre, mais c’est par amour!

Je ne jappe jamais mis à part quand je suis très excitée, ou si j’ai peur de quelque chose. Je peux gémir si je suis très excité et quand je m’impatiente. Je peux rester seule car je suis déjà habituée à attendre le retour du boulot de mon maître.

Je m’entends généralement bien avec les autres chiens qui sont dominants et confiants.

Lorsque je suis à la maison, je dors sur mon coussin, je prends des bains de soleil sur le balcon. Je ne fais pas de possession avec ma nourriture ni avec mes os.

Idéalement une personne ou couple actif ou même une famille avec adolescents serait l’idéal pour moi.

Mettez votre demande et il me fera un plaisir de vous rencontrer.

Bubble

Hi! I’m Bubble and my name suits me!

I’m a bubbly, active, friendly Shih-Tzu mix and I was rescued from the streets of Lebanon.

After the big explosion, people have been having a rough time keeping their dogs, and so I was dumped on the streets.

I’m about 4 years old, and obviously before being abandoned, I was a little spoiled.  I like things my way.

So I’m looking for a structured and quiet home, ideally one person.  I can have attitude and will snap if you push. 

However, I’m funny, affectionate and get along with everyone including dogs and cats. But strangers must approach me carefully. I don’t care for fast movements 

If you think I could be the guy for you, get the form and send it in!

Toby 8

My name is Toby #8, and I’m looking for a home through no fault of mine.

I’m a 7 year old Chocolate Lab. My dad passed away and my mom is moving into a home where dogs are not allowed.

I am fully vetted and in good health, despite being overweight at the moment.

I’ve been lacking exercise, as dad used to take me for long walks and even running.

I’m good with dogs but have never lived with cats. I’m well behaved, mellow and easy-going. 

I love car rides and the outdoors, but I also love to cuddle. 

Young or turbulent children are not ideal for me but dog-savvy kids 10 yrs and up would be fine.

If you’re interested in me, please download our adoption form ASAP and send it in.
