MEET KODA!

At 7 years old, Koda is still waiting for someone to see just how special she is! Sadly, her age has caused her to be overlooked, but this sweet girl has so much love left to give.

Koda is currently enjoying life in foster care, where she is showing just how wonderful a companion she can be. She is a total cuddle bug who loves her favourite people, is house trained, does great when left home alone, and is happiest lounging around by your side.

Don't let her laid-back personality fool you, though! Koda LOVES toys and playing fetch, and she has been making great progress with her leash manners, too!

Koda is looking for a cat-free home where she can enjoy the simple things in life: cozy naps, playtime, and lots of love.

BONUS! Koda will be joining us at our adoption event this weekend, and her adoption fee has been discounted in hopes of helping this lovely girl find her forever home! She will be at PetSmart Walker Road. Please stay tuned for times and more details on other pets that will be joining her.

Seven years young and still full of love to give! Come meet Koda this weekend. She might just be the missing piece of your family!

Meet Sushi – A Little Roll of Sweetness!

Sushi is a 3-year-old mixed breed girl who is ready to roll into a fresh start and find the loving home she deserves!

When Sushi first came into our care, she was shy, skinny, and covered in ticks. While we can't say for certain what this sweet girl has been through, we suspect her time spent outside may have taught her to live a little more on the defensive side. Because of this, we believe Sushi would do best in a home as the only dog, where she can feel safe, comfortable, and enjoy having all the attention to herself.

Despite everything she may have experienced, Sushi has remained incredibly trusting of people. She is slowly letting her personality shine, and it has been so wonderful watching her come out of her shell! Give her some space to feel comfortable, and you'll start to see the silly side of this girl. She gets the zoomies around the yard, absolutely loves belly rubs, and is quite the little treat connoisseur. The way to Sushi's heart? A few tasty snacks and a whole lot of love!

Sushi is currently looking for a foster-to-adopt home until she is spayed. If you have cats and are interested in adopting her, don't worry! We will arrange a cat test beforehand to make sure it's a good fit.

Sushi has had a rough start, but her next chapter doesn't have to be anything like her last. She's ready to trade the outdoor life for cozy naps, full bellies, belly rubs, and a family who will show her just how wonderful life can be.

Could Sushi be the missing ingredient in your family? Inquire about this sweet girl today!

Meet Rhino – A Whole Lot of Love in One Big Package!

Get ready to let Rhino charge right into your heart! This handsome 3-year-old Lab mix may have a big name, but his heart is even bigger!

Rhino came into our care as a stray with some pretty uncomfortable skin issues caused by allergies. Thankfully, he has started medication and a new food, and we're happy to report that his skin seems to be improving! For now, Rhino is looking for a loving foster home where he can continue healing, get his skin back in tip-top shape, and finish his medications. A little TLC will go a long way for this sweet boy!

When he's not busy working on his glow-up, Rhino is all about BALL! Seriously, if fetching were an Olympic sport, this guy would be bringing home the gold. He could chase a ball all day long and never get tired of the fun!

Beyond his playful side, Rhino is an absolute love bug. He can sometimes be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and he'll soon decide you're his new best friend. He's also fantastic for baths and handling, making his skincare routine a whole lot easier!

Rhino may have had a bit of a rough start, but he's ready to put his best paw forward. Could you be the person to help this big-hearted boy get back on his feet (and back to playing fetch)?

Open your heart and home to Rhino! He's looking for a foster family to help him heal, and we promise he'll bring plenty of love along for the ride!
