** In search of a palliative home **

Rocco's owners were evicted earlier this year and were unable to find a new residence. This 13 year old dog had no idea that he had lost the only family he had ever known until it was already gone. They have been homeless for almost 5 months and have been working through the sheltering system but at this time do not have a plan to move into a permanent address.

We are devastated to think that Rocco's last days would be in a kennel so we are reaching out to our community with a plea for help. We are looking for a palliative home for Rocco to live out his remaining days.

Rocco has some medical conditions including atypical Addison's disease which means he will need a daily pill medication taken in his food for the rest of his life (client cost is about $50 per month) plus occasional bloodwork a few times a year (client cost for this is estimated at $90).

Rocco has gained 15 lbs since arriving to Outrun and the ear infection that he arrived with has fully cleared up. We believe he may have a certain amount of permanent deafness and we are unsure if that was caused by his long term ear infection or if it is age related deterioration. He moves with a stiffness in his joints and would benefit from some glucosamine in his kibble to help with any discomfort he feels.

Hey there! Do you like my bowtie?

My name is Capris. I was born here at Outrun and when I was old enough, I went to a new family. Unfortunately, I did not get along with the cats in the house and since they were there first, I have found myself in the situation where I am looking for a new home.

At 9 months old, I'm still a puppy. I have recently been participating in the basic manners class here at Outrun and I overheard the teachers saying that I will be getting a B on my report card! That means I know what I'm supposed to do but I sometimes get excited and forget.

I love to play soccer and would play with you all day if you're up for it. I'm playful with other dogs, love people, and would make a great addition to a family with no cats. I can't wait to meet you and play all day!

Well hello there! My name is Boomer. I came to Outrun as an unclaimed stray but when I arrived I had a whole lot of TICKS on me! In fact, you may be able to see some of them in my photos.

Can you guess how many ticks I had? I’ll give you a hint … there were more than 10!

The team at Outrun called me Tickles for a while since I had so many Tick-People attached and I was hand-shy, but they realized that the name Boomer fit me better.

I am currently waiting on surgery for my eyes. I have entropian eyelid deformity which means my eyelids curl inwards and my eyelashes scratch the surface of my eyes. I’m lucky that the Outrun veterinary team is able to help me with this because my eyes hurt and they are always weeping. I had an eye and an ear infection when I came.

I’ll try to send you all an update soon!

Here are a few quick things about me:
- I ignore most dogs but new people frighten me so I like it when I can meet people slowly.
- I am very big and strong and I don’t have much experience walking nicely on a leash.
- I’m estimated to be 2 years old and probably a cane corso

Do you hear that little voice in the corner? Yeah, hi, that's me.

My name is Ginger and I'm looking for a new home.

I arrived at Outrun last year from a place where there were more than 20 dogs and it seemed that everyone was either pregnant or raising puppies. It was very loud and frightening at times. I went to a new home in the spring and didn't think I'd ever look back, but sometimes life isn't fair.

You see, I have many things that make me frightened and sometimes when I'm scared I run without watching where I'm going - even if that's over the fence. My adopters found it was too difficult to deal with me running away so I had to come back to Outrun for another chance. Here I am again, looking for a new home.

I'm looking for a quiet home who will be patient with me while I learn to trust you. I love other dogs and would enjoy sharing a home with one. Since I'm a cocker spaniel I will need regular grooming so please help me find a salon where the groomer will be patient with me. I will need to be leashed in the yard at least until I know that your home is my safe place too.

Here are a few quick things about me:
- I get along well with dogs and cats.
- I am low energy.
- I'm 3 years old
- I am crate trained (they are usually safe spaces!)
- I am spayed, chipped, and am up to date on my vaccinations

Follow Up Friday!

During a freezing rain storm in the spring of this year, a kind hearted lady was driving home from work when she noticed something that made her do a double take and pull over. A German Shepherd puppy was abandoned on the side of the road locked in a crate. He was soaked through, cold, scared, lying on a wet moving blanket, and had some f***s in his fur. She could see nobody around.

The lady loaded the crate into her car (no easy feat by yourself!) and brought this baby home. She gave him a warm bath, some food, and helped him to feel safe while she began working to find someone who could take him.

This guy was impounded by canine control and an investigation was opened to try to discern how and why this poor 16 week old puppy had been left out like a bag of trash. In the meantime, he came to our kennel at Outrun for some recovery time.

After his pound time expired, a wonderful couple came to meet this boy, fell in LOVE, and named him Re*****on! Re*****on is now living with a loving family who see that his every need is met. We are so happy that this guy found his Happily Ever After.

Our Outrun team works tirelessly year round to help families like this unite. Watching the smiles on our adopters faces and the dogs go with their new families make all of the late nights, the poopy kennels, and the basic training worthwhile.

Hi! I'm Kate and I am what they call a "Pocket Bully" which isn't technically a recognized breed, but people keep calling me that so I'm going with it. A pocket bully is really a very small American Bulldog (I'm shorter than your knees but please don't call me an ankle biter!)

I'm a very affectionate dog who loves to be in the company of people. I am good on walks and I am very curious, so I am likely to sniff around and explore. I am a lovely girl who would love to find a home that will give me the love and attention I deserve.

Potential new owners should spend some time familiarizing themselves with the health risks associated with pocket bullies. I have what's called hip dysplasia, which is a permanent and hereditary condition, as well as mild degenerative joint disease in my knees. I don't have any bone-to-bone contact at this time and it's not very painful. I will need to be on joint supplements for the rest of my life (currently on Omegas added on top of my kibble) and I may need pain management as I get older but for now, I'm as comfy as can be without a home.

Here are a few quick things about me:
- I get along well with dogs, people, and cats.
- I am very low energy.
- 1.5 years old and about 50lbs
- I am crate trained
- I am spayed, chipped, and am up to date on my vaccinations.

Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

Last week we said ‘so long’ to two beautiful girls, Lilo and Lena. They went to Orillia SPCA in the hopes of finding their new families. These ladies came to stay at Outrun for some much needed training and rehabilitation following an investigation.

Over the last few months, Lilo and Lena both participated in our group training classes to hone their socialization skills. We will miss these two smiling girls but they deserve their own homes and will make a valuable addition to a family.

One of the primary objectives of Outrun Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation is to help animals in need and that includes when pound dogs, other shelters, and rescues are in need of assistance. Our team works with several organizations to provide animals with training, rehabilitation and behaviour modification.

Outrun does public adoptions, however our focus has always been on the underprivileged animals and those most in need. Our irreplaceable team members work hard behind the scenes to help those who can’t help themselves.

If you are interested in adopting either of these ladies, please reach out to Orillia SPCA.

Teamwork makes the dreamwork!

One of the primary objectives of Outrun Animal Rescue and Rehabilitation is to help animals in need and that includes when other shelters and rescues are in need of assistance. Our team works with several organizations to provide animals with training, rehabilitation and behaviour modification.

Beautiful Blondie came to us in need of some help so that she would be ready to move to a new home and we couldn't be more proud of her!

No longer sinking to the floor and trying to hide in an imaginary hole, Blondie has learned how to approach people, how to walk on a leash, and how to walk through doorways. She has also started to work on her basic obedience learning sit, and come. With our wonderful team, Blondie worked on building her confidence skills and learning how to adapt to new situations.

Blondie has successfully completed her rehabilitation with the Outrun team and she has taken the next step in her journey (or 'outrun') to her new home. You can watch a brief video of Blondie in the comments. Blondie has been participating in our group classes and does well with the other dogs in class. She loves people and can't wait to give everyone she meets lots of snuggles.

Today Blondie moved to the Hamilton/Burlington SPCA where she will be available for adoption in the near future. Anyone interested in adopting Blondie should go to https://www.hbspca.com/ and submit an application. We will miss Blondie but we know that she is ready to share her home with her very own family.

Rocket is still looking for his new home. He gets along well with other dogs, people, and cats. He is one of the bestest boys.

We don't know why he hasn't found a home yet but we think it may be because of his age. Rocket would like everyone to know that he still has a lot of love to give. Don't be fooled by his age - he is still pretty active and loves to zoom around outside.

Rocket
10+ yrs old
Husky/Shepherd cross
Male, Neutered
Gets along well with kids, strangers, dogs, and cats.

Rocket's adoption fee has been reduced to our "senior's rate", please contact us for more info. If you are looking to adopt a dog or cat, please contact [email protected] for more information.
