I’m Bettsi, a sweet Pomeranian who needed a dental so badly, I lost 20 teeth. 16 already had fallen out by the time I arrived at Sophie’s Dog Adoption, so that leaves me with 6 teeth, all on the same side. So they’ll need to be brushed as I can’t really “chew” anything hard.
I’m about 9 years old, but I’m very good shape. Heart, eyes, lungs, all good!
I’m just looking for a new home that will keep me forever and take good care of me.
Hello future new family! I’m looking for you to take over, as my human recently passed away.
I’m an older girl, about 9 years old, and arrived with horrendous teeth. Luckily, Sophie’s is having a full dental done, so we’ll see if I have any teeth left!
I’m a mix, most likely a Chihuahua mixed with a Parsons Terrier. I’m about 12 lbs, so a tiny girl.
Super sweet, playful, active and have many good years left.
If you think I could be the girl for you, put in your application and inquire! You won’t regret it, I guarantee.
I’m Dale! I’m an English bulldog mix from California. I’m about 5 years old, and here’s my story:
I was pulled from Contra Costa animal shelter, where I was on the euthanasia list back in July due to “lack of space” and bad skin problems at the time.
I went to coyote Crossing animal ranch in Byron, California and stayed on the farm from July until November.
During that time, I was being kept outside, mainly in a kennel with another dog. I then travelled to Montreal by ground transport.
I saw the vet the day after I arrived here because my skin needed attention. My ears were badly infected as well.
My skin is doing much better. I have food allergies and am on purina vet hypoallergenic dog food. I’m also on antibiotics, an anti-allergy, ear drops, medicated baths, and medicated foam between my toes. It’s working wonders!
I’ve been living in a home, maybe for the first time. Everything is new for me. Unloading the dishwasher, folding laundry etc… like what’s this? What are you doing?
I’m happy with a few short walks a day; one in the morning (I literally need to be forced to go out unless I’m desperate for a pee) and a short afternoon walk. I am fully housetrained.
I sleep a lot and then we go on our night walk, which can last about 25 minutes. After that, I’m good to just hang out with the kids.
Right now, I’m living in a house with three kids (4,5,11) and a cat. I do really well with the kids, but I’m a strong boy and don’t seem to know my size. I am a “bully” breed after all.
Unfortunately, I’m really not a fan of the cat, so it’s not working out. In California, there was many cats on the property and I did just fine with them. I walked right past them, not bothered at all. I think living in a home with a brand new cat is too much for me. I get overstimulated at the sight of the cat and it’s pretty hard to calm me down afterwards. And when I get overstimulated, I chew stuff (blankets, pillows, etc).
I’ve never been on a leash so I’m still learning what is expected of me on a walk. I don’t pull, but often stop, look up at you like what now? Then I’ll start walking, then stop and look up at you.
I’ve learned what having a family is and I’m now ready for my permanent home!
My past is unknown, but I have very sweet qualities. A little “marking” as I’m not neutered, but that’s happening in a few days.
Not sure about kids, as I do a little resource guarding with food, and I don’t like my feet touched very much. Probably had a bad experience with nail cutting.
I came looking like a shaggy rug, so had to be shaved down. I’m not as cute, but you can now see my face.
If you’re looking for a doodle, I could be the one for you. Sophie’s getting to know me better so she can answer your questions.
My name is Phoebe Too, and I’m a sweet, affectionate, six-year-old female Husky who adores being around people.
I love to play and go on hikes, but I’m equally content to relax at home. I’m well-trained, calm, and perfectly fine being by myself – I don’t experience any anxiety or nervousness. While I am very friendly with all humans I meet, I do need a home without cats or small critters.
As a Husky, I have moderate energy and enjoy spending time both outdoors and curled up by your side.
My current owners are unable to keep me, but they want me to have the best possible life filled with all the attention and adventures I deserve. They are hoping to find a loving new family who will welcome me as a cherished member of their lives.
If you think we could be great companions, please submit an application!
I’m Pirelli, a 7 year old Chinese Crested dog, weighing 15 lbs. The vet says I’m a little chunky!
Also almost entirely naked with glamorous long hair and boots.
I’m in good health, though I’ll need you to help me look after my skin and protect me from cold and sunburn.
I’m a bit nervous with new dogs and people. Sometimes I even bark at them but I make friends within a minute, so all is good. I like spending time with my dog friends. I’ve lived with cats in the past, and ok with older kids.
Indoors I’m super-cuddly. I want to play and I want to be under your blanket with you. We can watch all your favourite movies together.
I love going on walks, especially if I can take my time. My favourite game when I go outside is wandering around, lifting my leg and peeing on things. I don’t play that game when I’m inside though.
If you are looking for a cuddly, cool-looking friend, I may be the one!
I’m an old boy, looking for a compassionate adoption.
I was living in a home where I was severely neglected in the past few years, I arrived with horrendous eye and ear infections.
To make it worst, I’m completely blind and my hearing is not so great from the massive ear infections I had. I do have dry eye syndrome, or KCS, so I need artificial tears to help as my eyes don’t produce them on their own .
My heart and lungs are great, I still have a lot of “joie de vivre”, so I’m looking for a compassionate home to take me in until the end. I still have a few good years in front of me, if you’re willing to give me the care I need.
I’m Mimi, a 9 year old, female, Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix.
My human moved out and left me behind with his roommate. Not knowing what to do, I’m now with Sophie’s Dog Adoption.
I’m getting a full dental this week, and I’ll be ready to smile at my future family.
I’m great with the dogs in foster care, I’m very friendly and easygoing. If you want to give me a good home for my retirement years, I’ll be forever grateful.
I’m Scrappy, an 8 month old dog! I’m a pure mutt, nobody can really say what breeds I’m mixed with.
I’m about 30 lbs, so not a big dog. I’m looking for a new home already as I’m part of the statistics of people getting rid of their dogs within two years.
I’m good with kids, a little nervous around dogs, but a quick learner.
I’d you think you’d like to make me a part of your family, you need to put an application in!
My name is Pawla, and I’m a street dog from Morocco.
I was rescued by a lady who used to feed stray cats, when she noticed me, a young puppy, coming around to get some food too.
It was obvious I had a bad leg, a break that healed on its own. So she took me off the streets and eventually arranged for me to come to Canada.
I’ve been here for a while but nobody really worked on my socialization so Sophie’s Dog Adoption took me in and I am learning to go on walks outside and explore this new country.
I am very shy, still skittish of a lot, so I’m looking for a very patient person or family to slowly bring me to being a “normal” and confident girl.
I’m still young (-2 years old)and don’t have a prey drive do could live with cats or other critter.
Dogs I’m totally fine with. Having a dog friend could maybe even help me learn to be “free” of my past.
The adoption process through Sophie’s Dog Adoptions consists of filling out an application form to adopt, a full screening is done to ensure that the dogs I place will in fact be going to good, forever homes. These dogs have been through a lot already, and don’t deserve to come back again and again. The right family / person is out there for each dog. The process can sometimes be longer than with other rescue groups or organizations, but an animal is for life and it should not be something to rush into. Once I am satisfied that the family/person meets the criteria to adopt one of my dogs, then the adoption is finalized with a contract. ADOPTING A PET IS NOT SOMETHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY, IT IS, IN MY OPINION, THE SAME AS ADOPTING A CHILD.
