Bentley

3 Comments

I am Bentley, the Rolls Royce of little dogs! Cute, adorable, friendly, gentle, affectionate and cuddly…. You can’t get better than that!

I’m a one year old Maltese boy, maybe mixed with something else, but very tiny and very Maltese looking!

I am looking for a new home due to a move and “lack of time” to take care of me. I am all white, so high-maintenance (and I was way overdue for grooming when I arrived) but absolutely gorgeous if brushed and maintained regularly.

I am energetic so a family with kids could be good as I love to play and be around people. But I do have character, so if you don’t structure me, I could easily turn into a little monster. I have shown I don’t like to “share” my food with other dogs, we’re working on that!

Give me the life I deserve and I will make you happy forever!

Gino

Leave a comment

I have been named Gino and I’m a mutt. I’m a five year old male and kind of look like a Doberman & Shepherd mix. But hey, who’s to say for sure?

I spent the last year of my life living in a vacant house, as I kept running back from the new house my family moved to. They figured I like this home, so they just left me there alone. Someone would come let me out twice a day and feed me.

Over that period of time I became more withdrawn and I’m now a little nervous around new people. However, I’m very friendly, playful and very willing to learn whatever you will want to teach me.

It seems that I originally came from the CSPCA as a puppy, so I’m now looking to have a final and forever home with someone who will truly love me forever.

Georgi

I’m little Georgi, a six year old male, Maltese / Poodle mix and slightly overweight at the moment. Sadly, my old Mom recently passed away and Dad, being devastated by the events, has gone to live with family members.

I was always with them, but now that there is not always someone with me I became a little anxious. Life has become to stressful for the family members so they called Sophie’s Dog Adoption in hopes of finding me a new home for the rest of my life.

I’m a little shy and nervous around new people but have a very friendly and sweet side once you know me. I had to be shaved down because of a lack of regular brushing, but my hair will grow in somewhat curly.

I am Felix, and no, I am not a cat. I’m in fact a big dog, 90lbs, and they say I’m a St-Bernard / Shepherd mix.

I am adorable, loving, sweet & friendly, and enjoy the company of other dogs as well as cats.

I’m almost 2 years old and looking for a new home. You see, my mom got a new boyfriend, and being “the one” since I was a baby, I became possessive of her, my home & my food.

So I need someone with experience with intimidating, big goofs like myself, and all will be well. I am super obedient and eager to please.

Je suis Félix, et non, je ne suis pas un chat.  En fait je suis un gros chien, 90lbs, et on dit que je suis un  St-Bernard / Berger Allemand.

Je suis adorable, affectueux, doux et gentil, et j’adore la compagnie d’autres chiens.  Je m’entend aussi très bien avec les chats.

J’ai 2 ans et je me cherche une nouvelle famille.  Vous voyez, ma mère s’est fait un nouveau chum, et étant “son homme” depuis mon tout jeune âge, je suis devenu possessif d’elle, de ma maison et de ma nourriture.

Je cherche donc quelqu’un qui a de l’expérience avec les gros bouffons intimidant comme moi, et tout ira bien.  Je suis super obéissant et toujours prêt a faire plaisir.

Canelle 2

Canelle 2, yeah I agree, it sucks as a name, but hey, my foster mom calls me Coco and I like that!!

You see I was a Christmas “gift” for an old couple, like 70-80’s old – and I was not just a gift, but a cute, fluffy, puppy! Are you kidding me? I’m no gift for your aging parents!

What I am is an adorable, 22lb Lhasa Apso, maybe mix. I am friendly, easy going, affectionate, loving and very smart. My old folks had never even taken me out for a walk in my entire year and a half with them. Peepee pads and a terrace was all I got. And guess what? I looove going for walks and it makes more sense to go to the bathroom then. It’s actually a fun time you get to sniff, explore, enjoy life!

I have a short haircut right now, but if you want a beautiful long-haired Lhasa, you’d better prepare for some grooming!! We can be absolutely stunning with our hair down to the floor. That’s my dream, to look like a real Lhasa Apso, not spend my life shaved like a Pit Bull!

Baguerra

Leave a comment

On St-Patrick’s Day 2012, I landed at Dorval Airport from Beirut, Lebanon. My given name is Baguerra, I was found running like mad, dodging traffic on a busy Lebanon highway.

The lady who caught me before I ended up flat on the road brought me back to the only shelter in Beirut, and I have been there ever since. I was just a teeny puppy of less than 3 months at the time, and here we are 5 years later, as a landed immigrant, looking for that home I’ve spent years dreaming of.

Black dogs in Lebanon are just not adopted and I am the proof. So now that I am here and see lots of black dogs walking with humans, I’m thrilled.

I already learned going up steps and hope to go down very soon. It’s a lot of learning waiting for me, but you’ll see, I will be the best student ever!!

I will never pick-up bad habits if you teach me the way, and I will love you forever and ever. I will never abandon you. I love giving kisses and being petted, and I would love sharing my new home with kids, cats, dogs or whatever else lives there.

Princess 2

2 Comments

I’m the most beautiful Princess you’ll meet.  I’m a young and loving 3 year old, petite American Staffordshire Terrier (pitbull) who is desperately seeking a wonderful home.

I had a bit of a rough start, I am very timid and extremely submissive, but with time I have started to come out of my shell and become a much more assertive dog.  I am hoping to live with kids, as all of us pitbulls usually LOVE children. And a plus for my breed is that I get along with other dogs very well. Cats, well let’s say I was attacked by one in foster care and I don’t care for them too much anymore.

I need some structure and some training, but I am so eager to please and so very smart that it will take no time at all in a stable home to become the best dog ever!

Please be my Knight in shining armor, and I will be your Princess forever!Je suis la plus belle Princesse que vous rencontrerez.  Je suis une jeune et adorable petite American Staffordshire Terrier (pitbull) de 3 ans, qui se cherche désespérement une famille merveilleuse.

J’ai eue un début difficile, je suis très timide et extrèmement soumise, mais avec le temps je sors de plus en plus de ma coquille et devient de plus en plus indépendente. J’espère habiter avec des enfants, car nous les pitbulls on ADORE les enfants. Un plus pour ma race est que je m’entends très bien avec les autres chiens. Les chats, disons qu’un m’a attaqué en famille d’accueil, et je ne les aiment pas autant qu’avant.

J’ai besoin de structure et un peu d’entraînement, mais je suis tellement prête à faire plaisir et si intelligente que ça ne me prendra pas de temps du tout dans un foyer stable  pour que je devienne la parfaite chienne!

SVP soyez mon Chevalier gallant, et je serai votre Princesse pour la vie!

Scoobie Girl

Leave a comment

Scoobie Girl is my name!  I am a 3 year old English Bulldog who was taken in by a young couple who wanted to give me a good life, as my previous owners had let me get to 70 lbs (yup you read that right!!) and didn’t really care what happened to me.

They brought me back to a healthy 40-some pounds (I need to be weighed), and I have found my shape back.  Unfortunately, life kind of fell apart and the young girl is now alone with a full time job, and full time school.  She feels I am not getting the life I deserve, and since she wanted me to have a good life, she decided to ask Sophie’s Dog Adoption to find me that perfect home..

I am in fact great with everyone, even kids, but I am not so good with dogs.  I am what you would consider a “bully”, as my welcoming way is to pin a dog down and make lots of noise!!  Because of the shape of my mouth, there’s not a whole lot of “biting” going on, but lots of bullying and dominance, especially on leash.  Leash aggression is one of my biggest problems, that needs to be worked on.

I am cute as a button, and if you love Bulldogs, I’m the gal for you!  Loving, cuddly, and just adorable!  You just can’t get enough of looking at that face of mine!

Will you be the one to love and cherish me for the rest of my life?  I came off the internet, so who really knows how many homes I’ve had since birth.  Please give me a final and stable home, I’ll make you laugh with my goofy face during your saddest moments!

Fidji

1 Comment

I am a beautiful, BIG girl, named Fidji. I am a 3 ½ year old Giant Schnauzer and according to everyone who’s met me so far, I hear them say that I am stunning. However, not stunning enough to be loved forever by my first home, after a divorce I was still loved, but now a new “fiancée” has taken my place, and I have been intimidating her, so the answer is to give me up…..That’s a dog’s life in Quebec, no matter how stunning, wonderful, loving and well behaved you might be, one little thing wrong and we’re gone!

Weighing 102 lbs at the moment, I could lose 5 lbs or so, but I am not considered overweight. I am just a big female.

I have basic training; I am very sweet with other dogs, cats and kids. However, I am what is known as a “dominant bitch” and being my size, I need to be with a family who knows the breed. Schnauzers are a dominant breed by nature, and I am certainly no exception. My foster home will work with me on some of this dominance, as I tend to lean into you, sit on your feet, and can easily lift up my lips and growl to intimidate anyone who’s “annoying” me….

Other than that little character trait, I am very gentle, listen very well, a little anxious maybe but not fearful. I can stay alone during the day, and basically if you know Schnauzers, I am the best!

Soni

My name is Soni and I’m now lonely. I’m one of the Magnificent 7, a litter of Golden/Lab puppies born November 2009, and like my foster sister Penelope, I too am looking for a new forever home. I’m only 2 and half, and a beautiful blond. Since I lived in the same house as Penelope, I’m also good with kids, dogs and cats.

I’m a little more anxious than Penelope since we lost our home but are being boarded together at the moment while waiting for foster homes. As well, if I could find a home with Penelope it would make me happy, but I can also learn to live without her.

I do have 5 sisters and a brother that have been adopted, if one of you want’s to welcome me, the little sister, that would also be a great home.

Penelope

I’m Penelope, and at the age of 5 I am looking once again for a forever home. I was originally rescued back in July 2007 as the youngest one (4 months old) of a batch of starving dogs who where dying in a horrible dog pound. We came to be known as the Lucky 7.

My foster home fell in love with me and decided to keep me as I was such a sweetheart. She continued to foster for Sophie’s Dog Adoption and eventually (2 years later) adopted Soni, one of the Magnificent 7, but now life has changed and she returned both of us.

I’m a big girl, very friendly, housetrained and grew up in a very busy household with young children, dogs and cats so obviously I can adapt to any situation. I’m about 85lbs, a little overweight and can certainly use an active lifestyle.

If Soni and I were to find the same loving home, it would be a bonus, but we can certainly live apart.

Lola Valentine

My name is Lola, but I have been renamed Lola Valentine, as I arrived at Sophie’s Dog Adoption on Valentine’s Day. I am just under a year old, and already looking for a new home. I am a petite Boston Terrier, a girl with beautiful long legs!

I was living with 3 young kids, 2 obnoxious dogs and lots of stress in the house. I became very skittish, but part of it is probably due to my being “sold” at the age of only 6 weeks. So I lacked all the good stuff my siblings and mom would have taught me, and growing up in the middle of all the chaos, only made me become very insecure.

I will be working on becoming an independent, secure little girl. I should make progress in no time and become a wonderful companion.

Janie

I’m one of four Shih-Tzu puppies who where born on November 8th, 2011, three boys and one girl. Our mom is Zsa-Zsa the Shih-Tzu who was found in a state of neglect. Unfortunately we came as a surprise as it was obvious mom had many litters but didn’t look pregnant when found.

I’m Janie, the only girl. We are all very lively, friendly and learning quickly to socialize well with our siblings and our foster “dad”. In fact, since mommy was a puppy-mill dog, by the time we were four weeks old she was starting to turn us down from nursing.

At that point, she decided to take a break and therefore our foster “dad”, Tarzan has been doing all the socialization and teaching that mom should be doing. We are now ready to start going into permanent homes and are looking be adopted by committed people who will love us our entire life.

We had the chance of being born in the care of Sophie’s Dog Adoption which gives us a better chance at a real life then if we had been sold to pet shots. Don’t abandon us and we will be the most faithful friend you will ever have.

I’m Luna 4, a sweet Pitbull who’s already had two litters at the age of 1 and a half. I’ve already had several homes and my last owner went to jail so I went to a friend who gave me to his friend who gave me to another friend who’s mother afraid of me.

So here I am with Sophie’s Dog Adoption where I am hoping to find that last, forever, wonderful home I’ve been dreaming of since I started to walk.

Despite my bouncing around I have remained a typical loving and charming Pitbull, I all want is love and kisses.

Theo 2

I’m Theo 2, a small and friendly little Yorkshire. I was purchased at Berger Blanc at the age of six month and immediately became very ill from kennel cough developing into  serious bronchitis.

Because of that my new family felt sorry for me and treated me like a defenseless little baby. That led to my growing up a little bit bossy and somewhat insecure.

I’m now all grown up, 2 years old, and the youngest human of the family is learning to crawl and I do not care for that. He scares me and I have snapped at him, so my family doesn’t feel capable of addressing my problems with 3 kids in the house.

So I’m looking for someone or a family who will be able to structure me and work with me to make me a great little dog. That doesn’t mean someone who feels sorry for me but rather someone who can be disciplined and teach me how to be friendly with everyone.

Sir McKenzie

I was knighted Sir McKenzie by the Canadian Kennel Club. My glorious days ended when I was purchased to come live in Quebec. I grew  overweight and developed leg problems.

I was surrendered to Sophie’s Dog Adoption after my family separated. I’m a 6 year old Cavalier King Charles. Unfortunately I got so fat that I now weigh close to 50 pounds.

I’m a quiet dog, obviously low energy right now but I hope to get my shape back soon so that I can become active again. So far I’ve demonstrated that I get along with everyone including pets and kids.

I’m looking for a family that will provide all the health care that I will need to keep me comfortable and healthy such as glucosamine and possibly surgery if needed.

Even though I’m only 6 years old I feel ancient and I’m looking for a life of health, exercise and love. Please be the one that will help me rejuvenate.

Picsou

I’ve been named Picsou by my previous home, I guess they saw me as a cartoon. You see, I was purchased as a puppy and my caretaker was a 10 year old little girl. I was to be her responsibility.

Unfortunately I went from a cute little puppy to a one and half year old un-neutered male and she just couldn’t keep up with my training. So the grown-ups in the family decided she wasn’t doing a good enough job training me so the decision was that I needed a new home.

I’m a very friendly and affectionate Chihuahua, unlike others not barky or nippy. As far as the house training goes, with adults in charge, I’m really catching on fast.
