Buddy

I’m “Buddy”, a six year old Lab mix.  I was originally adopted on “free adoption for seniors” day at the SPCA back in January 2024.

Unfortunately my dad passed in August, and I ended up with my dad’s family. However, it’s just not the home form me. I was put on Prozac from the time I was first adopted, but it’s not doing much for me. I’m getting weaned off it slowly.

I am very much a “one person” dog, as I am super loyal and want to please.

Love getting attention, being petted, brushed, back scratches, and love relaxing and sleeping near you.

I’m sweet, attentive, know basic obedience, and am fully housetrained.

I love going for walks, playing in the snow, fetching, but I can get reactive if I meet dogs on leash.

Now for the anxious side of me:  I can be reactive on leash, I will get into the garbage if left alone, I will bark at people entering the house, but also at movement within the house.

You see, I’m now in a family of five, and it’s too much for me. I was put in a situation before the holidays where stress made me react and snap. Nothing major, but enough to realize I’m not in the right environment.

I’m good with other dogs in general, I Iive with a little fluffy dog now and we’re great.

Ideally I’m looking for a structured and quiet household so I can get over my anxiety and find my forever home.

Einstein

I’m Einstein, a two year old, 14lb Yorkshire looking for his permanent home!

I’ve already been dumped twice that I can remember, so I’m looking for at least my 3rd home.

My youth is unknown. I am not a fan of kids at all and could easily nip, so no kids in your entourage is best, and I am jealous of other dogs getting the attention. That means, I want to be the prince in my new home.

However, I can be manipulative,  which means I might have gotten away with everything as a pup. I will growl and show you my attitude if I’m not happy.

Ideally, I need a one person home, but someone very structured. Otherwise I will take over and run the house. You will become mine, and I will rule! 

Previous experience with dogs like me is a must. I’m clean, friendly, affectionate but a little needy of attention. No separation anxiety, but when you’re home, I’ll want to share your space.

If you think I could be the guy for you, forever this time, then put in your application.

Teega

I’m Teega, an 8 year old Chihuahua who was quite neglected, living with a senior who was recently hospitalized and won’t be able to take me back.

I’m super skittish, even scared at the moment. It will take me some time to learn new ways.

I’ve never been out, always stayed in the apartment. Pipi pads was my thing, I’ve never even had a collar around my neck.

I’m looking for someone who knows chihuahuas like me, can help me come out of my shell, have the patience to let me come around. I won’t be ready to jump in your arms when I first come to your home.

Ideally no kids, that would be hard for me to get used to.

If you’d like to give me a chance at a structured, loving, stable home, you know what to do! Apply to adopt me!

El Diablo

I’m El Diablo. I came from the same home as Toupie. I’m about 8 years old, and also a Chihuahua, but I’m fat! I’m close to 10 lbs.

I’m also getting a full dental, as my teeth are really bad too. Brushing my teeth will be a must of you don’t want me to go through that again.

I’m much more scared and nervous than Toupie. I’m just starting to venture around the house, and came on the couch recently.  With time and patience, I will learn to trust.

I’ve also never been on a leash, just having a collar on is a big deal, so you will need patience to teach me that outside is fun.

If you want to give me that special home, I’ll be super grateful.

Noodle

Hi, I’m Noodle! I’m probably a poodle mix and about two years old. My hair can grow quite long and get matted so I need to be kept trimmed and regularly brushed. 

I weigh about 6 kilos (13 lbs) so a “small” dog but I’m big enough to not be too delicate.

I’m very sweet, quiet, friendly, forgiving, cuddly and happy go lucky. No separation anxiety. I get along with dogs and adults and would probably enjoy kids to play with too.

I’m a young dog so I need to get out every day to stretch my legs. In the winter I get cold (even when I wear a jacket) so I need to be able to run to warm myself up. 

The people in my last home had health issues that meant they couldn’t walk me any more, so now I’m looking for my forever home. Whoever you are, I know we can make eachother happy! 

To apply, visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ (http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/) and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

I will be quite popular, so get your application in sooner than later.

Gringo

I’m Gringo, a tiny 5 lb chihuahua. I’m loveable, affectionate, playful and independent.

I’m 7 years old, and I love people, but don’t pick me up!. I’ll jump on your lap, sleep in your bed, lay on the sofa with you, but don’t pick me up!

I love going for walks, love treats but I’m a picky eater. Some fat on me certainly wouldn’t hurt!

Ideally I see myself with one person, and eventually you’ll be able to pick me up, but you’ll need to give me time for  that. I just got neutered and a full dental, so I have beautiful teeth. But… I do still mark from time to time. I’ll need a little work on that issue, so access to a yard would help.

If you think I dude like me could be your next buddy, you know what to do! To apply, visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

Hawaiian Milo

I’m Milo, and in Hawaii they pronounce it “Mee-lo”.

I’m a mutt of a mutt, my mix is really a guess. I’m about 25 lbs, so not a very big dog.

I’m about 4 years old, and was lucky enough to get out of the shelter for a new life in Canada.

I’m super friendly, addictions affectionate and playful. I’m looking for a family that will love me forever.

Fiona

My name is Fiona. I’m a Giant Schnauzer and I’m a beautiful big girl at 80+ lbs (I could lose a few lbs).

I’m almost 8 and travelled from Mexico, but my family had a baby, and I’m really not a fan. Snarling, growling, barking… My humans are afraid I’ll eventually her her.

So here I am, looking for a mellow household for my retired years.

I’m great with other dogs, walk super well on leash, easy to groom and just a big, easy going girl!

If you think you’d like me to spend the rest of my life with you, put in your application.

Milo

I’m Milo, a typical backyard breeder dog. At barely 1-1/2 years old, I’m looking for a new home.

I’m super skittish, scared of people, my own shadow and anything else that moves.

I was just neutered, and the vet discovered a serious heart murmur, grade 6 on 6. That means I’ll need to keep a mellow life, limited exercise and no excited play.

Once I get to know you, I’ll cuddle with you, but for now I need to be “handled with care”. No trying to grab me, pick me up, make me sleep on your lap. That will take some time. The more you push, the more I pull away.

I’m looking for that perfect home, who will know to love me despite my quirks, and help me overcome my fears.

Ernest

I’m Ernest, Ernie for friends! I’m a 5-year-old American Chihuahua who just arrived from a high kill pound in New Jersey (strictly due to overcrowding), so I was offered a ride up north to beautiful Canada.

I lost my owner to old age and ended up at the local pound where I was pulled out by a wonderful lady who didn’t want to leave me there.

I’m in a foster home, still a little anxious from all these changes, but very well-behaved. I’m presently with a Chihuahua buddy, and it’s going well. I’m also ok with the house cat. I let her know who’s boss, and we’re good 

If you want to give me a great home, please put in an application. If you’re a Chihuahua person, you’ll just adore me. No biting, no growling, just loveable!

Rex B

I’m Rex B, and here’s my story: I’m originally from the streets of Lebanon, and I was rescued and adopted in Canada during the “international adoption” phase that happened between 2020 and 2022.

Unfortunately, these good souls in Lebanon who made us come to this wonderful country, were not aware that the Quebec Statistics for “keeping” us in a home are less than 2 years.

So here I am, a “statistic” of La Belle Province, and I am looking for a new home. I arrived here in 2022 as a teen pup, and after being in a home for over a year, I was surrendered because I was always a little “growly” and I bit a 3 month old puppy. This pup came to be fostered, and I didn’t necessarily want to share. I already had a “brother” that I liked to dominate a bit. So when I bit her, my dad got mad and kicked my bed in anger. My mom then thought it was better to send me away immediately.

I’m super friendly, great in the house, get along with dogs but do have some resource guarding around my food.

I can be your best friend for life, if you’ll have me for the rest of my life, which I hope will be at least 10 years.

I don’t want to bounce all over Quebec, I want a permanent home. I’m a Shepherd mixed with dozens of other breeds, your fun will be to guess what mixes my descendants might have been.

Pawla

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.

DOGS FOR ADOPTION

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.
