Seymour

Leave a comment

My name is Seymour, and my journey has been a sad and deceiving one. My breeds are a guess, possibly Beagle, maybe Pitbull, maybe Lab, or maybe anything totally different than those, it’s a mystery.

I originally came to Sophies Dog Adoption at the age of 5, and I was adopted by a wonderful gentleman who gave me this dignified name of Seymour (I used to be known as Patapouf – seriously!). I am now 9 years old, and unfortunately have to look for a new home once again.

I had a wonderful life, but the last year of his life has been rough and I really helped him get through a lot of things. Unfortunately, being originally from Europe, he decided to go back and see if there was more luck at earning a living over there, and was really hoping to have me sent back to him.

Sophie offered to take me back in foster care for about 6 months in hopes that my Dad would be able to get his life together enough for me to go live in Europe with him, but it looks like it will not happen or at least not for another year or so, and due to my age now, he has decided to let Sophie find me a new home in order to have a stable life for my retirement years.

I am the best! Good with kids, cats, other dogs, I love people and am a wonderfully calm and quiet dog. I can stay alone while you’re at work without getting myself in trouble or making a mess, I am not a barker, I am just a loving soul in need of a loving family.

Floyd

My name is Floyd. I am around January 08, and have already been looking for a new home since October 08.

I am a beautiful American Bulldog and have the goofiest look. You see, I have a tongue that is way too long for my mouth, so I keep half of it hanging out on the side, most of the time. It gives me the most adorable look ever! However, no worries, it is a ‘defect’ and not a medical condition. This does not affect my breathing and does not require surgery.

I could be great with kids with time, but right now I am not very gentleas I am strong andbulky.I am not so good with other dogs, I need to be introduced one on one by someone with experience, as I can be ‘picky’ about who I like or not. I do not do good with cats at all, even though I ignore them on the street.

I do have a bit of a ‘mop’ obsession, maybe I was teased/hit with one as a youngster, I really don’t remember where this ‘attack the mop’ mode comes from. I’ve been working on it with my foster homes, but it still needs lots of work.

I am definitely a great dog, but need a very experienced owner when it comes to large,’bully’ types of breeds, as I tend to become ‘top dog’ very quickly. Once I am trained to act properly, I will be the best dog ever. I am extremely friendly, affectionate, attentive, and cuddly.

Christelle

Leave a comment

My name is Christelle, my sisters are Dawn and Oprah, even though we look nothing alike. We are born on November 23, 2009 and are looking for new homes.

Our mom is a Beagle/Teckel mix and dad, believe it or not, is a Shepherd/Husky mix. I take more after Mom, who looks like an overgrown Teckel. I have the markings, but they could also be from the Shepeherd in Dad. Either way, I am cute as a button.

Of course, we are not housetrained yet, but are learning to go on paper. We should learn very quickly, as we are very smart.

I am the most skittish, hiding more than the other 2 Our size as adults is a real guess, but it should be somewhere between 30-60 lbs. hopefully not more.

Gazelle

1 Comment

My name is Gazelle, and believe it or not, as cute and sweet as I am, I was going to be euthanized by my ‘breeder’ as I was no longer good enough for production. They claim I’m 4 and a half, but according to Sophie, I’m more like 6 years old. My teeth are so full of tartar, I may lose a lot of them. I delivered my last litter 6 weeks ago and was already I was taken away from my pups. Poor pups who will be sold for hundreds of dollars….. We live in a sad world.

However, I was rescued and brought to Sophie’s Dog Adoption. I am paper-trained but also go outside, I am very mellow, a little skittish but really coming out of my shell as there are many dogs for me to learn from. I have been de-barked, so the neighbours won’t hear me, which makes me a good candidate for apartment living. It seems all my pups are de-barked at birth, just for that reason. To sell to apartment people.. Sad, but real!

I am very good with other dogs, would be good with kids as I am very tolerant of manipulation. So far, I have not growled, snapped, showed any teeth or anything of the sort.

I am supposed to be a ‘pure Chihuahua’, but it looks like I may have some Miniature Pinscher. Not sure, but could be. Either way, I am adorable with my big ears and curly tail!

My name is Dawn, my sisters are Oprah and Christelle, even though we look nothing alike. We are born on November 23, 2009 and are looknig for new homes.

Our mom is a Beagle/Teckel mix and dad, believe it or not, is a Shepherd/Husky mx. I don’t actually look like any of my sisters nor my parents.

Of course, we are not housetrained yet, but are learning to go on paper. We should learn very quickly, as we are very smart.

I am the most quiet of the 3, and somehow look like a small Labrador. Our size as adults is a real guess, but it should be somewhere between 30-60 lbs. hopefully not more.

Dixie

Leave a comment

My name is Dixie. I was found wandering the streets of Montreal on December 29th, one of the coldest days this year. I had a rope tied around my neck with my name written in pen, ‘Dixie’…. I guess I didn’t turn out to be the Christmas gift they were expecting…..

I am a sweet girl, about 4 months old, probably Beagle/Collie mix. I am very friendly, clean in the house (even though I am crated when no one is home), calm, and quiet. I am very cute, and can melt your heart, but since I’m a puppy, I will need someone who will not spoil me and turn me into a monster.

I have proven to be a great girl so far, so I am looking for someone who will continue educating me the right way, so I will not bounce back once I become a teenager…

Mum

Leave a comment

My name is Mum. I should be arriving from Beirut, Lebanon on January 17,2010 if all goes as planned. I am a very playful, affectionate, loving dog who gets along great with other dogs.

I have never been around cats in Lebanon, so it is still unknown how I will react, but I am a gentle girl so with some training, I should learn to love them. I was rescued from the streets with my tips of my ears cut off, as is a tradition in Lebanon for some people. It is a myth that by cutting our ears off when we are puppies and making us eat them, it makes us aggressive. But this is just a cruel myth.

The first one of us to make it to Montreal to Sophie’s Dog Adoption a couple of years back was AngelBoy, a dude kind of like me who had the same fate. He is the most loving and gentle soul and I heard loves his new life in Montreal. So I am dreaming for the same. A family who will overlook my atrophied ears and love me for who I am, not for how I look. I will be grateful for the rest of my life, and I hope to have a bed of my own just like AngelBoy has (I heard he even has his own couch – now that’s the life!!).

Bozo

Leave a comment

I have been named Bozo by the SPCA who picked me up as a stray. Yup, a stray. I am assumed to be between 6-8 years old, and am healthy but do have calcium deposits on my eyes, which causes me not to see so well.

I am a BIG boy, weighing in at about 36 lbs, but a very mellow and friendly guy. I love going for walks, I get along fine with other dogs, and enjoy a relaxing afternoon as well.

I would do very well in most any family, as I love just about everyone.

Filou

Leave a comment

I have been named Filou. I was found wandering around in the country, in really bad shape. I was sick, lonely and cold. My hair was falling out, I was itchy and my skin was so damaged it looked like I might have cancer. I am about 5 years old, and Sophie was going to do anything to save me!

So I was brought to a vet, a biopsy was taken, blood tests, skin scrapings, I was neutered and treated for all and every parasites in case I had some.

Sophie’s Dog Adoption who is the forever optimist, was relieved when told it was probably allergies due to food or the environment I was living in. I may have been sleeping on something like insulation or something similar.

I was shaved down, given medicated shampoos, medication, and good quality food, and I am like new. One of my ears has been damaged in the past, probably due to a fight or an accident and not taken care of, so it folds down and is scarred. But it gives me a look that melts your heart!

I have come out of my shell and LOVE the indoors and my new foster home. I have a couple of beds to choose from, dog friends and toys to play with, someone to kiss me, hug me, love me, talk sweet to me, and I just LOVE it! After a life of living outside (as my coat evidently proved), I have now gotten used to the luxury of living indoors.

My hair is growing in, my skin is getting better, and the itchiness is all gone. I am a bit of a scavenger, though, so I like to get into the garbage and any kind of food that is left behind. I was used to fending for myself, and probably went around into peoples’ garbage when they left their cottages for the week!

I am starting to make friends at the dog park, but I also like to protect it and bark when people enter. It has become my new ‘property’ when we go out, and it actually makes people laugh. I have a loud voice and can be heard across the park! I will make sure to protect your property if you adopt me!

I am a very sweet boy, love kids, other dogs, and would probably do well with cats. To know me is to love me, I will charm your heart in a nanosecond!

BoBo

Leave a comment

My name is BoBo, I am the cutest, sweetest 4 year old male Chihuahua! I have huge ears and a just as huge personality.

I am friendly, affectionate, playful and funny. I am looking for a new home because my mom passed away, and no one in the family could keep me.

I am able to stay alone during the day, clean in the house, even though a little ‘territorial’ as I was just neutered since I’ve arrived in rescue.

Sheila

Leave a comment

My name is Sheila. I was bounced around from the time I was first purchased, probably in a pet shop, because I am an active puppy! What do people think they are ‘buying’, a stuffed toy?

So I am at least looking for my 3rd home, and am about 7 months old. I am a very sweet girl, but young and energetic. I’m great with other dogs, cats, and people. I am a beagle mix, it’s obvious, but with what…. that’s anyone’s guess. Maybe with some sort of Hound, as I am taller than a Beagle….

I am looking for a stable home. A family or couple/person looking to give me exercise, discipline, structure, guidelines and love for the rest of my life. I don’t want to bounce around, it’s very hard to get the hang of things when you change homes every couple of months.

I am eager to learn and please, but I need someone who will take me in to give me a real life, not to look at how cute I am and let me do what I want. I am a hound type dog, and we need exercise, but mostly discipline and structure or we do whatever we want. Keep in mind our nose takes us places, so we are great at running off. I am looking for someone who will be able to keep their eye on me, not leave me in a yard to have fun running after squirrels!

Belle

My name is Belle. I am a 6 year old Chihuahua who is unfortunately looking for a new home due to my mom passing away.

I was living with Mylo 2 and Sanchez, and all of us are now looking for new homes. We have been split up so can be adopted separately, but having another dog with me would probably make me adapt better.

I am very shy and mellow, good with kids if they are not too rough. I am good with other dogs, and would do fine with cats.

Zeus 3

Leave a comment

I am Zeus 3! A sweet boy, who unfortunately was born in Lebanon about 4 years ago and have never known what a home is…:(

I was rescued during the war in 2006, and was never adopted in Lebanon. My chances are: I never will be. I am a ‘mutt’, and a large one at that, but I deserve a chance at a good life. This is why BETA sent me here, so I’ll have a chance at a real home. My mix is a bit of a guess, but probably some sort of sheep dog in my ancestry somewhere.

I am housetrained, calm, smart, obedient, get along with other dogs, and love human affection. A pretty good resume for a homeless dude, huh!

I will make anyone a wonderful friend and companion, if you think I could be dude for you, I would love to have you as a family!

Lolita

Leave a comment

I am Lolita, a wonderful and sweet little girl who was abandoned in an apartment when my owners moved out. I am a pitbull, probably an AmStaff or similar breed, and from what it seems, no more than 14 months old. It is obvious that I had puppies at my young age, I finished weaning them no more than 4 months as my body has not yet taken back it’s feminine shape….

I have proven to be very loving, good with dogs, cats and most people, however I am a little weary of certain men. I also need some education, as I like to jump at people when I’m excited, and I nip them to give them ‘love bites’, but they sometimes hurt…. I need someone who will become Alpha and show me the way to being a well-behaved dog.

I do very well in a crate when you are gone, I do not bark, whine nor cry. I have been very quiet since I have been rescued, as a matter of fact nobody knew I was in the apartment until the landlord came in…. It had been vacant for 4 days.

Tyson 3

Leave a comment

My name is Tyson 3, I am a very sweet, 1 year old Doberman. I am looking for a new family due to a move, as in most cases.

I have proven to be very well behaved, clean in the house, can stay alone without destroying anything, don’t bark for no reason and generally a great dog. I am friendly, affectionate, and a good protector. I love other dogs, am great with kids and adore people in general.

My ears have been mutilated, and we have not gotten to the truth of what happened, but I am still a beautiful boy. It is sad to look at me, but love is all I care about. I don’t need pity, I want to be loved for me, despite my looks.

Max 7

Leave a comment

My name is Max 7, I am a sweet Bernese Mountain dog who is looking for a new home. Because of lack of exercise, I am overweight, but should lose those extra pounds in no time if you walk me daily.

I am about 3 years old, sweet and gentle. I am not crazy about strange men in general, but just ‘observe’ them. I don’t react aggressively, but they have not been too nice with me, so I have a preference for women and children.

Max 6

My name is Max 6. I am a Cocker Spaniel mix, and born in September 08. I am a pup, so already looking for a new home.

I am great with kids, good with cats and other dogs. I need some work on housetraining, but I am still very young.

There is not much more to say other than I am a puppy so if you are looking to adopt me, get ready! Having a puppy is at least one year of work in order to make us good canine citizens!
