Mimi Chi

Mimi Chi - 2

Mimi Chi is a 7 year old female Chihuahua. She was an indoor dog who never went out other than the yard. Never received any training either and was very spoiled and over fed. She weighs 9 pounds, which is too heavy for her delicate frame and so, she should go down in weight to about 6 or 7 pounds.

Mimi is now thriving in foster care. She’s a happy-go-lucky little clown. She is quite funny and knows it. If a dog can have a sense of humour, she’s got it! You just can tell that she loves to make people laugh.

Her overall disposition is simply exquisite; she is loving, affectionate, sweet, cuddly, eager to please, curious, bouncy, in other words, she is infinitely adorable and you just want to kiss her face raw.

She is trained on a pipipad but will do her business outside if you make it available to her. She tends to mark so keeping a couple of pads out for her convenience is good strategy.

After a while and getting used to new surroundings, she figures her way around the house.

Mimi loves her daily walks and it’s even better when her foster brothers come along.

She is very much scent oriented, she loves those new smells!

Leash walking is a skill she still has to perfect, but she is one smart cookie and will do whatever it takes to come along on that walk. She already knows to stay still while the leash is being put on and she’ll help along with her harness by putting her little head through the opening and lifting her paws. She knows what it all means.

Cats, birds and squirrels are fun to chase off the property. She may be small in size but not in spirit!

She is crate-trained and will go willingly in her cage for the night.

She has a good recall but sometimes the scent is just too enticing so mom will just have to wait a little.

She is not all that into toys, she prefers cuddles and kisses.
She is friendly with people when she meets them inside her home, she is a bit more skittish of them outside the house.

Her breathing is laborious, especially when she gets excited but as she loses that extra weight, it’ll get better.

She’s a picky eater courtesy of her previous feeding habits which consisted of pasta and tomato sauce and pretty much whatever her previous owner prepared for her but once a routine is established, she’ll thrive. She can be barky, she thinks she’s a guard dog after all, but not overly so.

Mimi is a total sweetheart and anybody would be lucky to have her.

Keeping her fit and slim will go a long way for her health. Sophie will have her teeth cleaned when she gets spayed and vaccinated asap. Keeping Mimi on a healthy diet with good quality food and providing her with proper oral maintenance is a must. No more getting spoiled rotten for Mimi. It’s time to be a real dog and enjoy lots of love as much as a structured and healthy lifestyle.

If you feel you would be the ideal human for Mimi, please contact info@sophiesdogadoption.com and tell us why. Montreal and area.Mimi Chi - 2

Freedom is what I was looking for when I wandered off into the cold streets of Kuujjuarapik. Unfortunately I am just a wee girl of barely 3 months old, so luckily someone found me and decided my new life should start in Montreal.

So that’s how I got my name. I arrived at the airport like a big girl, all by myself, but Sophie was there to pick me up and bring me home.

My mix is a pure guess, but seeing that my friendly home town mostly has Labradors, Huskies and Shepherds, chances are my folks were a mix of those breeds. But you never know, I have big feet, I could have a larger breed in my family line, maybe like a Bernese Mountain Dog. Who really know?.

Sophie says we’ll have a better idea once I mature a little. Will my ears stay down, will they be up, will one be up and one down? My future looks are yet to see, but my future looks pretty good!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjO68GwsAYE

Snow

Post by Sophie's Dog Adoption.

I’m Snow, the 11 year old Maltese that was given up with Schubert.

I’m as sweet and calm as can be, and fairly healthy for my age, despite me losing 22 teeth due to severe neglect of my mouth. Now my tongue sticks out, but it adds to my charm.

Now that I live alone, I don’t bark. I don’t have anyone to encourage me, but if you have a barky fellow, I will follow his lead. I am a pretty independent dude, so I can stay alone during the day with no problems.

Some see me as old, I am definitely considered a senior, but due to my breed and size, I could live into my late teens. My eyes and ears are slowly going, but it doesn’t bother me at all.

If you want to be the one to give me the care I’ll need and the love I deserve, I will be forever grateful and loyal to you.

Unlike my previous family, I hope you will love me till the end.

Schubert Schubert

Post by Sophie's Dog Adoption.

I have a new name, Schubert, and am hoping for a new life. I am an 8 year old Maltese who had a horrible name, and a pretty plain life. I lived with a buddy, Snow (he was renamed too), and both of us were given up because of a “grandbaby” who would not come visit if we were still around.

So our mom and dad just give us up after all these years, our teeth were in a severe state of deterioration, having never gone to a vet since we were puppies.

Luckily I am a healthy and peppy little guy and ready to start a new family. By that, I mean find someone who wants me to be theirs for the rest of my life, and will treat me as I should when I start getting old.

I am a sweet, small and friendly Maltese, I was quite barky at my old home, but in foster care I’m learning it’s not a necessity.

I’m looking for a mellow life, not a busy household. A life where I’ll be included in outings, go for walks, meet other doggy friends, and basically chill on my bed.

Am I going to be your new best pal?

Bono

https://www.youtube.com/watch?vhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KImDjs7pqos&app=desktop=KImDjs7pqos

My name is Bono, and I am the most wonderful shih-tzu you will ever meet. Wonderful doesn’t even begin to describe me.

I am 4 years old and came from Mexico with my family last year. However, due to a situation back home, they had to return but could unfortunately not take me back with them.

It is obvious that if they could have sent for me, they would have. I have been evaluated and turn out to be what is considered in the rescue world as a “perfect pooch”. Literally. I have been staying with a foster home who takes me to work daily in his zootherapy program, and I am a true champ at this.

I am very tolerant of all manipulations, listen extremely well, never ever had an accident in the house, not barky, not hyper, good with kids, seniors, and pretty much anyone.

I am not destructive, so could easily stay home while you work, and have basically no issues. That is why I am considered “perfect”. Wouldn’t you agree from reading my bio?

I know I will be very popular, so if you want to be first, go download the application form and return it ASAP so you can meet me and see for yourself!

Manolo

Post by Sophie's Dog Adoption.

My name is Manolo, I am an 8 year old Standard Poodle, CKC registered and all, yet I was given up by my second home for no other reason than I was no longer wanted. Mom bought a condo, and I was not welcome there.

I was given up with my gal, 6 year old Caboose, but she was adopted right away. I was part of a “deal”, when one of us went, both had to leave immediately. So I ended up at Sophie’s Dog Adoption.

I am very healthy, my teeth were brushed regularly so quite nice, groomed often, and in general well taken care of all these years, other than there really was no love in my life for the last 4 years.

Now I am re-discovering having someone who gives me affection, attention, plays with me, takes me for walks, all the stuff a dog should do and I am just loving it! My foster mom finds me so funny, smart, well behaved, she pretty much describes me as perfect. Being a senior doesn’t mean I am not the guy for you. On the contrary, I am the best. Seriously! I play peek-a-boo, tug of war and all kinds of games. I’m no old boring dog.

I don’t see myself around young kids, or hyper dogs, but other than that any lifestyle will suit me just fine. I am easy going, will go with your schedule, your routine and lifestyle and be happy as a king!

Once you meet me, you’ll know what I mean about being the best! My charm, looks, good manners and sweet personality, I know you will not resist…

PipPip

image

I’ve been named Pip by my foster home because I’m really small, basicly I’m a pipsqueak. I’m a young miniature pinscher and the story goes that I was found as a stray. However because of who “found” me, Sophie strongly suspects that I’m related to Celina and Melina as well as Minnie. Those three (previously adopted), all came from the same source as the one who found me.

I’m no more than two years old, very tiny, fully house trained but quite afraid of the big world. I’m living with Mr. Big right now and I have to say he’s intimidating. My experience with other dogs seems very limited.

I would be great for a family, very gentle, loving and ready for that new life.image

Maggie XMaggie X

image Maggie X, because Sophie can’t remember how many Maggies’ she’s had. But I am by far the oldest. I’m a sweet twelve year old Shih-Tzu mix, and after a first home ended up at the SPCA. Seven years ago I was adopted by a gentleman, with whom I was loved and well taken care of. Unfortunately, life happens, and my Dad was placed in a home. Because of my age family members were going to send me to the SPCA where I certainly would have been put on death row.  After some thought they decided to hand me over to Sophie’s Dog Adoption. I’m sweet, healthy, playful, and just love everyone. I still have a lot of good years in front of me and would fit in with pretty much anyone, as I’m easy going.

Lucky Luke

image

Hi there! I’m Lucky Luke, a one yr old Pit Bull Dogo Argentino mix. I was found as a stray and my owner never claimed me so here I am looking for a new forever home to call my own. I’m a high energy pooch in need of basic training and plenty of regular exercise.

I’m very sweet and loving. I get along great with other dogs. I’m bright and eager to please. I was rather insecure when I was first rescued but have learned to trust people and now enjoy meeting strangers when out on walks.

I have an excellent temperament. I need a structured stable home where I can continue to thrive and become the terrific dog I was meant to be. I need to be on a grain-free diet as I am prone to food allergies.image

PRINCE THE SECOND

image

Hi there everybody! I’m Prince AKA Prince Pin. I’m only 5 yrs old and already looking for my new forever home. I’m a very sweet boy. Typical to my breed, I’m a happy go lucky energetic little fellow but I’m also obedient and love to snuggle with you. I get along very well with other dogs and cats. I’m not a barker, I’m house-trained and crate-trained and I know my basic commands in French (Viens, assis, couche, reste).

I tend to be very unsure around new people when I first meet them but I warm up to them quickly if they just let me come to them when I’m ready. I’m not at all aggressive. I just back off and cower a little if you approach me but if you insist and try to pick me up, then I will bite. You can have your friends give me a little treat to help me along. That always gets my attention. ;)

I walk best with a harness on a short leash. I can stay home alone. I love car rides and back rubs. I have the cutest little under-bite and very expressive eyes. As adorable as I am, I must receive regular exercise and structure so please no treating me like a spoiled pooch. I look to you for leadership first and foremost.image

GabriellaGabriella

image

I’m the beautiful and smart Gabriella – you can call me Gabi. I am a boxer mix, about 2-3 years old and full of energy. I was found roaming the streets of Montreal, and no one ever claimed me as their lost dog. So I’ve been waiting for the right home to come along and adopt me. I love spending time with my humans, playing, taking long walks or cuddling on the couch.

If you let me snuggle with you and since I am a serial licker, you will be showered with affection too, don’t worry! I get along famously with all people, dogs and cats. I am a very social creature who loves to meet new friends.

I have absolutely no aggression whatsoever. I may be a bit too energetic for very small kids, but I also know how to be gentle. It really would depend on the kids.

I am very obedient and have shown to be a quick learner and very eager to please once I know what is expected of me. I’ve been bouncing in foster care for a while now as there are so many dogs in need, that people don’t really go to reputable rescues anymore, they’ve rather save their own dog from death row. But what do you think would have happened if I didn’t end up with Sophie and was still in a shelter or pound somewhere, I would have been put down a long time ago. So how about giving me a chance at a real home, not just temporary fosters, when I have so many things to offer the world.

An active family would be ideal: I could be a terrific jogging/roller-blade/biking partner, or a good companion to go hiking. And if agility is your thing, I will sure impress you! I need someone that would offer me lots of love and structure, because I always expect you to lead me.

No doubt that with proper training and a balanced life, I would be a fantastic and extremely loyal companion. If you think you can handle that much love in your life, then I’m the gal for you.

image

Je suis la belle Gabriella, mais vous pouvez m’apeller Gabi. Je suis un boxer croisé, environs 2-3 ans et pleine d’énergie. J’ai été trouvée errant les rues de Montréal, et personne ne m’a jamais réclamé comme étant leur chien perdu. Donc j’attends depuis ce temps de trouver la famille qui m’adoptera. J’adore passer du temps avec mes humains, jouer, prendre de longues marches ou simplement me blottir contre vous sur le sofa.

Si vous me laissez me coller contre vous, et puisque je donne des bisous en série, vous serez également couvert d’affection, ne vous inquiétez pas! Je m’entends à merveille avec tout le monde, les chiens et chats. Je suis une créature très sociale qui adore rencontrer de nouveaux amis.

Je n’ai absolument aucune agression. Je peux être un peu trop énergétique pour de très jeunes enfants, mais je sais aussi être très douce. Ça dépendrait vraiment des enfants.

Je suis très obéissante et ai montré que j’apprends vite et que je suis très prête à faire plaisir une fois que je sais ce qu’on attend de moi. Je me promène de famille d’accueil en famille d’accueil depuis un bout de temps car il y a tellement de chiens dans le besoin, que les gens ne vont plus vraiment dans des organismes réputables, ils préfèrent sauver leur propre chien de la mort. Mais que pensez vous qu’il me serait arrivé si je n’avais pas aboutie chez Sophie et que j’étais encore dans un refuge ou une fourrière, j’aurai été euthanasiée il y a longtemps. Donc pourquoi pas me donner une chance à une vraie famille, pas juste des familles d’accueils temporaire, car j’ai tellement de choses à offrir à ce monde.

Une famille active serait idéale; je pourrais être un compagnon idéal pour faire du jogging/roller-blade/bicyclette et un bon compagnon pour la randonnée, Et si l’agilité c’est pour vous, c’est sûr que je vous impressionnerai! J’ai besoin de quelqu’un qui pourra m’offrir beaucoup d’amour et de structure, car je m’attend toujours à ce qu’on me dirige.

Aucun doute qu’avec le bon entraînement et une vie équilibrée, je ferai une compagne de vie fantastique, et certainement fidèle. Si vous pensez pouvoir avec tout cet amour dans votre vie, je suis la fille pour vous.

Chili

image

I’ve been named Chili by my foster home. I’m obviously a Pug / Beagle mix, probably around seven years old and a male. Nothing is known about me other than I was found in between the two gates of a dog park. At first Sophie was sure someone had put me there for safe keeping because I would have been running around the streets of DDO.

But after three weeks of searching for my family, it looks like I may in fact been abandoned.

I’m such a wonderful dog, very smart, well behaved, eager to please, very friendly and just all around a happy dude. I love everything and everyone, I’m clean, I’m quiet and mellow. I would make a wonderful companion to anyone. I’m not a “play with the kids” kind of dog. I don’t mind them but I’m not drawn to them.

image

J’ai été nommé Chili par ma famille d’accueil. Il est évident que je suis un Pug / Beagle, probablement d’environs sept ans et un mâle. On ne sait rien sur moi sauf que j’ai été trouvé entre les deux barrières d’un par à chiens. Au début Sophie était certaine que quelqu’un m’avait placé là afin de me garder en sécurité car possiblement je courrais dans les rues de DDO.

Mais après trois semaines de recherches pour trouver ma famille, il semblerait que j’ai été en fait abandoné.

Je suis un chien si merveilleux, très intelligent, bien élevé, toujours prêt a faire plaisir, très gentil et tout simplement un gars joyeux. J’aime tout et tout le monde, je suis propre, tranquille et relaxe. Je ferais un excellent compagnon de vie. Je ne suis pas le genre a jouer avec des enfants. Ils ne me dérangent pas mais je ne suis pas particulièrement attiré.

Kasey

image

I’m Kasey a young Great Dane mix and I’m looking for a home. I’m sweet, friendly and would be a wonderful addition to any family. I love kids, I love cats, I love dogs. I’m hoping to find a home soon so my new family can educate me properly, I’m very eager to learn and to please.image

Je suis Kasey, une jeune chienne mélangée avec du Grand Danois et je cherche une famille. Je suis gentille, douce et serait une joie pour n’importe quelle famille. J’adore les enfants, j’adore les chats, j’adore les chiens.  J’espère me trouver un foyer bientôt afin que ma nouvelle famille puisse m’éduquer correctement, je suis très prête à apprendre et ne veut que faire plaisir.
