So many happy adoptions to celebrate!

Kilo and Darla are off on their next adventures, long-term resident Sky has finally found her person, Athena is being spoiled by her new family, and sweet Miss mia has lots of new human friends to love.

We are so incredibly happy for each of these dogs and their families. Seeing them finally find their people makes every day worth it.

But there are still so many dogs waiting, some with zero applications. Could your next best friend be waiting for you?

Meet Missy, a 3-year-old Beagle-Chihuahua mix with a whole lot of sweetness packed into one little package! This girl is proof that the best things really do come in small sizes.

Missy is a very sweet girl who loves being near her people. She's got some basic training cues under her belt and is ready to keep learning alongside her new family. She is both dog-friendly and cat-friendly, so she could be a lovely addition to a home with other furry friends!

Missy enjoys a good sniffy walk where she can investigate every interesting smell along the way. Once she's finished her important neighbourhood research, she's more than happy to head home, curl up in a cozy bed, and settle in beside her favourite people.

Missy can be a busy, clever little girl who thrives on daily mental enrichment! When her mind isn't kept occupied with fun tasks or puzzles, she likes to look for her own entertainment—which usually means hunting down interesting items to swipe. Once she finds something, she can sometimes be protective of her newly acquired "treasures." Because of this, she would do best in an adult-only home without kids, where her family can keep her engaged and easily manage her environment to set her up for success.

When Little Debbie arrived at PAWR, her little life was hanging in the balance.

After ingesting co***ne and amphetamines, she suffered repeated seizures and needed around-the-clock care. Her future was uncertain, but we weren't about to give up on her.

Emergency veterinary care, medications, surgeries, rehabilitation… it all adds up. But how do you put a price on a life worth saving?

Today, we’re honoring our beloved staff pets who have crossed the rainbow bridge.

In the spirit of Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), we wanted to take part in this special tradition by remembering the pets who may no longer be by our side, but will forever hold a place in our hearts.

They may have left paw prints on our lives, but their love and memories will never fade. 🐾🕯️

Forever loved, never forgotten.

Meet Koda!

Koda is a 7-year-old mixed breed girl who is still waiting for someone to see just how special she is. Sadly, Koda’s age has caused her to be overlooked, but we honestly don’t understand how — this sweet girl has zero applications, and we can’t figure out why! She has so much love left to give and is more than ready to find her forever home.

While Koda can be nervous and overwhelmed in the shelter environment, she absolutely thrives in a home environment. Her foster family has been able to see the sweet, affectionate, relaxed girl that can be hard to see when she is feeling unsure at the shelter. In her foster home, Koda has been making great progress, especially with her leash manners. She is learning more every day and showing just how much she can blossom when given the time and space to feel comfortable.

At home, Koda is an absolute cuddle bug. She loves spending time with her favourite people and is happiest when she can simply relax by your side. She is also fantastic when left home alone. Rather than getting herself into trouble, Koda is perfectly content to curl up, sleep, and wait patiently for her people to return. No mess, no mischief — just a very good girl!

Koda is house trained and overall is a wonderfully chilled-out companion. She enjoys getting outside to sniff and explore, and she still has plenty of playful spirit. She LOVES toys and is always happy to play a game of fetch.

Koda may be 7, but she certainly isn't ready to retire from having fun. She is sweet, affectionate, easygoing, and becoming more confident every day. What she needs now is a forever family who will appreciate her for the lovely girl she is and give her the chance to enjoy her golden years surrounded by love.

We would also love to offer Koda at a discounted adoption fee to the right applicant in hopes that this helps her find her forever home a little quicker. We truly believe Koda is the kind of dog who needs to be experienced outside of the shelter to really see how wonderful she is.

If you're looking for a calm, cuddly companion who would be perfectly happy spending her days relaxing with her favourite people, Koda might just be your girl.

Don't let her age fool you — Koda has so much life, love, cuddles, and fetch left in her. She has zero applications, and we truly don't understand how this wonderful girl is still waiting. Could you be the one who finally gives Koda her happily ever after?

Our kitties are having way too much fun, because we’re going through cat toys faster than you can say pspspspsps!

We’re looking for donations of cat toys to help keep our feline friends entertained, enriched, and happy while they wait for their forever homes. Our lovely volunteers do an amazing job giving them snuggles and attention, but when they can’t be here, we want to make sure our kitties still have plenty of ways to play!

What toys do we love most? Plastic toys that are easy to disinfect between kitties, like:

🌀 Springs
🔔 Jingle balls
🐾 Plastic balls and other fun little toys

Toys made of fabric, foam and feathers are a little harder to disinfect between cats, so plastic toys are especially helpful for us!

That said, we will happily accept any cat toys you’d like to donate! Every little bit helps keep our shelter kitties busy, happy, and having fun. Thank you so much to our amazing community for always showing up for our animals!
