BROCK now FOZZY has been ADOPTED!
Thank you to Karen and her family for fostering !

Fozzy has been a wonderful addition to our family. He is quite honestly the cutest dog I have ever seen and looks like a puppy, even though he is full grown! Fozzy is settling in well; he is learning our routines, house trained and sleeping in his 'bed' at night and getting along with his new housemates. He is full of energy, loves treats and belly rubs and LOVES his long evening walks. We are thankful to Just Paws for helping bring Fozzy into our family!

Say hello to Louie — a 5-year-old, 20-lb Cavalier mix currently being fostered in Waterloo and on the lookout for his forever best friend. Louie is a certified Velcro dog who believes personal space is overrated and that life is simply better when he’s following his favourite human from room to room.

Louie is incredibly friendly, affectionate, and instantly charming with everyone he meets. He’s a quiet, well-behaved guy who can stay home for a few hours, though he’ll be counting the minutes until his people return. A true snuggle bug, Louie’s ideal day includes as much cuddling as possible, and he’d likely adore a home with older kids who are eager to give him endless love and attention.

While Louie gets along well with other dogs, he’d be happiest in a calmer household where he can soak up most of the spotlight. He did live with a cat for a short time and managed just fine, though he did chase a bit, so any kitty roommate would need to be dog-savvy. When it’s time to settle in for the night, Louie sleeps soundly in his crate.

Louie’s hobbies include fetching balls, gleefully wrestling with stuffed toys (and occasionally destroying them), and enjoying a couple of short daily walks. He has a mid activity level and prefers easy living — stairs aren’t his favourite, so a one-level home or condo with an elevator would be perfect - unless you are ok to carry him if needed. If you’re dreaming of a loyal shadow, professional cuddler, and gentle companion who just wants to love and be loved, Louie might be the one you’ve been waiting for.

We want to send a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for your incredibly generous donations for Abbey. Because of your support, Abbey was able to have her surgery, and the stone that was removed was truly humongous. She is in great spirits and recovering comfortably with her foster family , who is giving her all the love and care she needs. Thank you so much for helping cover the cost of her surgery and for all the positive thoughts sent her way. Abbey is doing very well, and once she is fully healed, she will be ready to start the next chapter of her life and be available for adoption.

Goldie had a wonderful Christmas with her foster family and had an absolute blast spending time with a large dog—she truly loved having a furry friend to play with. She has been nothing but sweet with everyone she’s met lately , greeting people with her happy nature that’s hard not to fall in love with. Goldie also doesn’t seem to shed, which is why we believe she may be a poodle mix. If you’re interested in adopting this loving, playful girl, apply now.

💔Sweet Abbey Needs Our Help

13-year-old Abbey just joined our rescue under heartbreaking circumstances after her beloved owner was sent into hospice. When Abbey arrived at her foster home, her foster mom immediately felt that something just wasn’t right and trusted her instincts.
Abbey was seen by the vet today, and the findings were alarming. The veterinarian shared that Abbey has one of the largest stones he has ever seen, and surgery is now urgent and unavoidable.
Abbey will need surgery as soon as possible, with the total cost estimated at approximately $3,300
During this holiday season, we are asking our community to please consider donating—any amount truly helps. Your generosity will go directly toward covering Abbey’s surgery and giving this senior girl the comfort, relief, and care she so deeply deserves.
Thank you for supporting Abbey and helping us be there for dogs when they need us most.

Our rescue is constantly receiving requests to take in dogs for a wide variety of reasons. This week, we welcome three local surrenders, each coming to us from different areas across the GTA.

2 of these dogs came to us because their owners are facing serious health issues that left them with no choice but to surrender dogs they love and cherish deeply.

Please meet:
🐾 Louie, 5 years old
🐾 Abbey, 13 years old
🐾 Lucas, 11 years old

While we are not accepting applications for any of these dogs at this time, we wanted to share their sweet faces and acknowledge their arrival. Each one has a story, and each one deserves safety, care, and compassion. The same care their previous families gave them.

These three may be the last dogs we are able to accept for 2025, and we’re grateful to be able to help them during such a difficult transition. Thank you for continuing to support rescue, understanding capacity limits, and believing—like we do—that every dog matters.

Happy ADOPTION Day COCO and RAVEN!!

Thank you to Just Paws Rescue for bringing the incredible duo, Coco and Raven, into our lives. Their outgoing, social personalities — and the way they get along with everyone they meet — fit perfectly into our busy, slightly chaotic lifestyle, from dog parks to conservation areas. It is truly an honour to be able to keep this bonded pair together and give them the forever home they deserve.
We also want to sincerely thank their previous owners for choosing to surrender them to a rescue. It’s heartbreaking to think about what could have happened had they ended up in the wrong hands, but instead, they found themselves exactly where they needed to be. They are now safe, loved, and in the perfect hands.
We’ve been fostering for years and never imagined we’d be labelled “foster fails,” but here we are — surrounded by extra wags, kisses, and PAWsitive vibes.
The adoption process was thorough, professional, and well vetted from start to finish. Thank you, Just Paws, for everything you do.

Happy Adoption COSMO !
Thanks to Kim and family for fostering.

Thank you to Just Paws for bringing Cosmo into our lives. The adoption process was professional, thoughtful, and thorough—and we truly appreciated the careful screening, as it showed how deeply Just Paws cares about finding the right homes for their dogs. Cosmo has brought so much joy to our family. He’s a sweet, energetic, and intelligent two-year-old we fell in love with almost instantly. He gets us outside for daily 5 km walks, keeps us committed to dog training, plays happily with the grandkids, and is wonderfully good-natured with other dogs. Whether he’s zooming around the yard or playing fetch, Cosmo fills our days with laughter and love.💕

Meet ROCKY 🐾

Rocky is an approximately 10year-old, 12 lb Bichon Poodle mix with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. He’s a happy, easy-going little guy who may be a bit shy when meeting new people, but once he feels safe, his affectionate nature truly shines.
Rocky is deeply devoted to his foster mom and prefers to stay close—he especially loves sleeping beside his human at night. He adores treats, belly rubs, and affection, and is always happy to head out for a walk. He’s wonderful on leash, easy to handle, and enjoys strolling at your pace. One of his most endearing traits is his bouncy little trot, complete with perfectly flopping ears—it’s impossible not to smile watching him go.
He’s housetrained, gentle, and very content to spend his days relaxing and napping when he’s not out exploring. Rocky is calm and social with other dogs and has been perfectly fine around a respectful, well-behaved child (age 8). He rarely barks, only occasionally reacting to loud hallway noises or briefly announcing when his people come home.
Rocky is a medium-energy dog who enjoys regular walks (currently about 20 minutes, 3–4 times a day) and would do well in a condo or apartment. He doesn’t require a fenced yard, doesn’t shed, and shows no guarding behaviours. He knows some commands and is considered trainable, responding well to kindness and consistency.
While his experience with cats and very young children is unknown, Rocky is friendly, adaptable, and would likely thrive in a calm, loving home where he can feel secure and cherished.
📍 Currently being fostered in Toronto, Ontario
Rocky is truly a loving, loyal companion who will bring warmth, joy, and quiet happiness to the lucky home that welcomes him.

Accepting applications until December 17th.

My name is ANGEL but my foster mom and dad call me Angelo. I’m an approximately 3 year old 17lb male poodle/ Maltese mix. Since arriving in Toronto from Mexico I have settled in to my foster home very well. I love going on walks and sniffing all the new smells, but I also love curling up next to my foster mom and dad on the sofa. While my foster mom is working, I curl up under her desk on my special bed. It can take me a little bit of time to warm up to new people and new environments, and I will seem a little bit aloof until I'm feeling more comfortable. When I know it's time to get my supper or go on a walk, I get so excited that I will dance with my paws in the air! I walk beautifully on a leash (no pulling) and have had no accidents in the house at all. My foster mom says that I am as close to a perfect dog as any dog can be. I can be groomed and handled and remain calm and relaxed. I am quiet and polite and secure. My foster mom calls me her little man. I would do well with a family that is able to take me out on lots of walks and allow me to warm up to them at my own pace. I do very well with the other dogs but will give overly- friendly dogs a warning if they are too intrusive. So I would do very well in a house with another calm dog or as the only dog. My foster mom is not sure how I will be with cats, however I have shown a calm curiosity of other cats when I've visited the vet. Although I like having my people in sight, I'm a pretty independent guy and am happy to relax in my own space, especially when there is a lot of commotion or there are new people around. When my foster mom or dad leaves the house for an errand, I settle down quickly. I am not worried about being left alone for short periods of time. I am no to low shedding and will need daily brushing and regular grooming to keep my coat handsome. I will be a great companion for my furever family.
