Noddle

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.

Garnet

My new name is Garnet. My past is unknown, I came from a home that had 20 of us, all small dogs.

I’m a mix, unknown, but possibly Chihuahua/Daschund mix. One of my parents had long hair.

I’m about 4 years old, and very nervous in my new surroundings. I will need time to feel comfortable being touched and picked up, but I’m not agressive at all.

Ideally a home that can take me for walks, give me the opportunity to discover the real world and be someone’s best buddy.

If you think you might be interested in me, put in an application. As time goes, I’ll come out of my shell and by the time we get to meet, you’ll know more about me.

Loki

You’re looking for a Doodle? I may be the one for you.

My name is Loki, I’m just over a year old and I’m a Doodle. I was sold as a Poodle/English Sheepdog, designer name “Shepa-doodle” .

I’m a very sweet dog, good with all dogs, even annoying barky chihuahuas, and I’m great with kids.

I love my toys, and could play fetch all day. I’m therefore looking for an active family with kids who are old enough to play with me. That would be my ideal home.

I walk very well on leash, fully housetrained and crate trained if you leave me alone. Due to my young age, your shoes could possibly become toys when you’re not there, so crating me in the beginning would be the best.

I was recently shaved by a groomer who gave me the worst haircut ever (shaved me right down), but it will grow back. The pictures are how I looked before the bad hair day!

If you think I’m for you, put your application in. I may be quite popular so don’t wait too long!

Hercules

I’m Hercules, born in February 2016, and I’m a standard Daschund. A little on the heavier side, but nothing we can’t fix!

I’m looking for a new home, as my family has grown and I’m no longer tolerant of children.

I’m housetrained, chill and easy going. I love to go for walks, despite my short legs.

I’ve lived with cats and have no issues with them, and I’m super friendly with all dogs.

Ideally would be a retired person or couple who likes to go for daily walks. I love to eat, so to maintain my shape, we’ll have to adjust to a routine!

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

I may be the perfect companion for you.

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.

Pogo

I’m Pogo, a 4 year old standard Daschund, and unfortunately I’ve been diagnosed with a condition that is rendering me blind. It’s called SARDS https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_acquired_retinal_degeneration_syndrome.

There is no cure, just getting used to being blind. It is progressing daily, unfortunately, so I will soon be totally blind.

Obviously stairs are to be avoided, not only due to my breed, but now my blindness.

I’m super friendly, great with kids and other dogs. I just need a place where I can walk around without bumping into too many things. Eventually, I’ll know my way around.

If you want to become my new family, please apply. I deserve a great home and will give you all my love in return.

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.

Killua

My name is Killua, but you might as well call me Kilowatt because I’m just bursting with energy! I’m small, but if you want a running companion I’m the dog for you.

I’m a two year old medium Spitz type. I’m

active, alert, intelligent, affectionate, playful and love treats. I’m especially good at fetch and tug-of-war.

I’m very friendly with both people and dogs. I love playing chase and wrestling with other dogs, but if I live with other dogs full-time I confess I’m going to annoy them by stealing their food and toys. 

All my coat needs is a weekly brushing but if you want to go all out and bathe and blow-dry me, I’m fine with that too. All attention is good attention! 

I love my walks and runs. These days I walk about 4 km/day and run in the dog park for about 45 minutes. If I could run even more I’d be even happier. My favourite way to live is to wear myself out then sleep for hours. 

I potty outside but I’m also paper trained. At first in a new home I might pick out my own little private spot in the house to do my business in peace. If that doesn’t work for you I’m quick to learn your preferences. I’ve had to go through a couple of homes so it can get confusing sometimes. 

Like I said, I’m alert and intelligent. If you leave me alone too long I’m going to get bored and get into things. I’ll bark at squirrels and random noises, and rummage around for things to chew. I particularly enjoy going through wastebaskets and laundry baskets. You can crate me, I’m totally fine with that. I’d prefer to have someone around to give me guidance and reassurance though. 

If you want to be my final home, I will love you forever! Kids or not, I’ll be happy with runs, attention and love.

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!

Tobi

I’m Tobi with an “i”. I’m 7 years old and a Poodle/Cocker Spaniel mix.

I’m very playful, affectionate, active and get along with other dogs.

I don’t really like being alone all day, I get bored and may bark more than I should. I do have a little separation anxiety.

Ideally I would love an active family, kids over 14 would be fine especially if they like to play!

I’m cute as a button, but you have to think of the long term. I’m looking for my 3rd home and want this one to be my final home and grow old with my family.

If you think you might be the one(s) for me, put in a request!

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.
