July 4, 2018…later – I have found my forever home with the exquisite Reese…..a 10 year old puggle who really found his way to my heart.

July 4, 2018 – I am doing very well and had a home visit at a place where there is a very nice puggle and I seem to have fallen in love with him.

June 19, 2018 – With all this nice weather also comes the heat. I don’t mind the heat, but prefer to stay inside where mums house is nice and cool! I think I’m pretty cool, collected kinda girl!- I’m pretty chill for the most part, except when I hear fireworks, now those bother me more than bugs! On a positive note, I don’t chew things which is something mum loves about me. I’m in great shape too!- I can jump quite high onto the back of mums couch from the floor. I haven’t had any accidents in the house and can hold everything in for about 7 hours or more! From when mum goes to bed at 11pm until my boys wake up 6:30 or 7am on weekends. I will go to the door when i need to go. Or sometimes I jump up at the door to get some ones attention.  I love meal times!- I can give you either paw when asked too!- I also like to sneeze to show how much I love food.  I really love my walks!- I don’t mind my harness either!. I can go for really long walks too!  Now I mentioned I love my walks, but I also love sleep and naps just as much!- I will cuddle up with anyone!  Other than the silly smoke alarm that im not a big fan of. Not much else bothers me. I’m a pretty tough girl!  I love to nibble on blankets or what ever is close to me. I also like to make sure my blanket is extra fluffy before going to bed at night!

June 10, 2018 – Its hard to believe that another week has passed by, the weeks go by so fast!- I keep hoping that a really nice family will look at my profile and think” well now, that at that pretty lady, she needs a great home!” Mum keeps telling me over and over again just how sweet I am and how come no one wants to get to know me?!- I really want nothing more than a loving new human family that loves me for my quirkiness!- I already know how cute and pretty I am. I’m also in great Health!- I can run really fast!- I love to run around mums fenced yard many times!. I even love to go on trampolines and watch my human boys. I’m also very good at having no accidents in mums house!- even when they sleep in later on weekends. Now when I’m outside, I wish I could stay outside all day!- I think mum has caught onto me wanting to go outside just to sun bathe and try and catch those pesky squirrels and chipmunks. Okay and maybe birds too!
Eating habits- mum has been trying to get me to try some interesting healthy and dog friendly safe fruits and veggies. I love watermelon and shredded carrots so far. And well of course my dog food and dead bugs are tasty too! Now that the rain has stopped after what seems like forever last week, I can get back to having long walks again. I don’t mind the rain, but my humans aren’t fond of it, not sure Why?!
I also don’t mind when my feet are wiped clean after a rainy walk. It feels weird, but at least I don’t get my big comfy bed wet and dirty. Or as mum keeps calling it the couch.I love it when someone puts a movie on for me at bedtime!- then it’s no so quiet. I use to watch Benjamin button. Now I get to watch “catch me if you can”! It’s a good movie too! I have to admit, I really don’t like it when I see other animals in movies. And I’m very good at stating my opinion on it as well! That loud, noisy beeping thing that goes off sometimes when food is cooking is something I really don’t like. I know if I hide under a table the noise stops.  Aside from eating dead bugs and food crumbs I’m able to find on occasion, I also like to occasionally lick feet and other exposed human parts that are at my level. I think mum caught me fluffing up my bed. I like to push my blanket around with my nose to make it extra fluffy and comfy!
Have a great week everyone!

June 3, 2018 – Weekends are my favorite part of the week!- then again, who doesn’t love it when your human friends are home for 2 days!! I had a great time this weekend at Genevieve’s yard sale! Im still not too sure of other dogs, but I’m sure I could warm up to them eventually. I’m really curious abouts cats too!  I have to say, I think I’m in very good shape! I don’t feel like I’m 9. I certainly don’t act like I’m 9. I can also run really fast!, I’m told I act more like a 5 yr old. I hate to brag, but I can go a pretty long time without needing to go outside. I heard mum say to me the other day “wow!- you held everything in for 8 hours last night!” I will definitely let you know when I gotta go!- I like to jump up at the door and stare at someone. Mum says she thinks I like to outside just to smell the air sometimes. Who doesn’t like eating?!- that’s like saying who doesn’t like cake?!- I love my meal times!- Mum feeds me twice a day. I will even chat a bit when mum asks me if I’m hungry while holding my bowl. I love my walks!- my younger human friends love walking me!- they say I’m a good walker even though I like to smell lots of posts and poles. I love my big bed! I sleep very well on it, even when everyone is gone to bed.- or what mum calls the couch. Im not sure why she calls it that? Mum and dad really aren’t good at sharing my couch with me either. I keep trying to claim what I think is mine ( the couch) but they keep telling me I have to share. Not sure why? after all, there is a loveseat all 4 of them can sit on – Fears..im one tough girl!- well except for the sound of the stove timer and the smoke alarm. Those are some scary noises!- I really dont like those noises!- I try to hide under the end table. But then my human friends will cuddle with me and tell me everything is alright! My best quirks are ( and I’m very proud to admit ) are- I often have fits of what is called a reverse sneeze. It’s pretty funny to hear!- I also like to lick the furniture, or anything really!- I also like to roll around on dead worms!- their the best and I smell so great after! I also like to bark at the sound of fire works!- one day I’ll actually get them!

May 29, 2018 – Another week gone by, boy time flies by fast!- This weather is fantastic!- I’m loving it!!- I’m so well behaved when mum and dad are outside with me in the back yard, at least that’s what I keep hearing. I got to meet a cat today. That was interesting, wasn’t really sure of what to make of her though. I got a little to excited to get close to her- Abby was her name. She wasn’t too keen on meeting me though. Mum and dad always tell me I’m such a good girl when they come home or get up in the morning I’m assuming it’s because I make no messes while they are sleeping or gone away during the day.  Gosh I look forward to my meal times!!- mum and dad says I eat a bit fast, but eat well and quick. I also like to eat anything that could remotely look like food on the floor. Including tiny bits of paper. My walks with my human foster buddies are my favorite part of the day! I’m walked at least 3 times a day and love every minute of it! I don’t mind the rain either. Thunder and lightning are no fear for me either. Let’s talk about naps! Now I talked about walks, now let’s talk about naps. I may love my walks, but I love naps and sleeping just as equally! I guess that where the getting old part sets in. But then again, who doesn’t love naps. Apparently I’m a bit of a couch hog that likes to spread out and push on what ever human body parts my feet touch. I think my human buddies just make that part up 😉 I think I sleep well at night, I hear mum tell me every morning.  In my opinion the quirkier, the better. Other than jumping up on the back of the couch like a rabbit, I think I’m a pretty cool lady!- okay, now maybe that’s a little fib. I’m a pretty special lady and the home I get to live in forever in will be one special family!  I will be at the June 2 UMWPR Garage Sale this Saturday if you want to come and meet me from 9 to 4.

May 22, 2018 – My Name is Lexi and this is my story!   I am a very sweet mix of Boston Terrier and Pug that barely sheds AND that loves everyone that comes to my very cool foster home! Now, I may not have that smooshed in look that one of parents had, but let me tell ya, I certainly have lots of pug traits.  I may be 9 years old, but don’t let that number fool you! My foster mum says she has a hard time believing I’m the age I am due to how much energy I have! She thinks I’m part bunny rabbit as I can jump from the floor to the top of the couches with ease! The vet also said I’m in great health!  I also can hold my bladder for a good length of time!- I dont make any messes in the house at night when all my human buddies are in bed or when the leave to go to school and work. I have to admit though…When I see someone come in the front door..i get really excited!!!- only because it’s very boring when my humans friends leave and I have no one to sit and cuddle with.  I LOVE FOOD!!!- I love it so much that I will eat dead ants if they look appetizing in the moment. My foster mum has been working with me lots in the past 2 weeks of getting me to sit patiently for my meals, I think I’ve done pretty good so far, I look at her and wait for her to say “okay” for me to eat. I will also sneeze to show how much I love meal times.  Do I really love going for walks!!!- I walk pretty good, I do however like to smell lots of posts and sometimes I insist on staying until im good and ready to move to the next best post!  My biggest wish would be to have a really big bed to sleep and to share it with a human. My foster mum and dad think its best for me to sleep on the couch. Do I snore?….maybe just a little.  Mum is very sweet and puts a movie on for me every night, so I don’t get lonely.  I think I’m a pretty fearless dog..I always tell them big dogs not to bother me!- even though I’m sure they could beat me up no problem. (But don’t tell them that okay).  My foster mum says my biggest quirk is stealing seats!- especially if its cool in the room and you get up for a quick minute to make a tea or coffee…that’s it…that nice warm seat is all mine!!! Lastly, my foster mum says she gets a chuckle out of how I gently nibble on blankets. I don’t chew them, but it’s a comfort thing. Mum just smiles and says…Im one special dog!!  Lastly to sum up, my novel is how much I loved this past weekend!- I had a great time at mum and dad’s cottage!. They have these lower windows that I can see out of and are surrounded by water. Mum really wanted to see if I liked water…well boy did I show her!!!- I REALLY love water!!!- mum says it’s a good thing she had something tied to me as I would have swam out a good distance. It was a bit cold but that’s okay..I had a great time at the beach this morning. Last night was great too!!- we sat around a nice warm fire…my human friends roasted marshmallows and I watched the ground to ensure nothing was dropped.. There were some really loud bang noises that I just had to bark at…mum laughed and said I was silly for barking at the fireworks.  What a great weekend it was!- now I’m off to take a well deserved nap, cause after all, it’s exhausting being a dog!!

May 14, 2018 -Lexi is a great dog, she loves everyone she meets! She loves going for walks, as well as sniff every pole or hydrant. Lexi does not like ballons or the sound of smoke alarms or stove timers. When travelling by vehicle, she does best in a back seat. She will still pant and shake, but not to the degree she did when we first got her. She also does not like to be behind a barrier of a gate and will whine. She also does not like crates.  Lexi is obsessed with balls and squeaky toys.   Lexi is now looking for her forever home.  An active family would be best suited for this busy girl.  Lexi would also be best as an only dog.

May 11, 2018 – Lexi had her teeth cleaned (she lost 7) and the little growth removed on her eyelid on April 25 and she is doing  very well. She is eating soft food at the moment and noticed she gets really excited when she hears the can opener and a metal bowl. We think she was primarily fed wet food, due to her level of excitement.
The dog trainer came to visit our house tonight to observe and direct us in the right direction to curb Lexi’s obsession with animals on the TV as well as her whininess. She is a quick learner and have lots of confidence will do well with training and guidance on our end and ongoing in her permanent home.
Lexi is a very active girl and would do very well in an active home.

April 19, 2018 – Lexi loves all humans. Dogs….not so much.  Lexi loves to play with squeaky toys and balls very much.  She will not stop at any lengths to fetch and retrieve. Lexi will jump up towards our T.V if she sees or hear a dog on it. While on the subject of dogs, she is not a big fan of any dog especially big ones.  In terms of sleeping habits, we have discovered she does not like to sleep alone. Our boys take turns sleeping with her on our main floor and they said she is a big cuddler. Lexi will not eat straight up dry food. Lexi does well on her walks. Lexi is going to get her teeth cleaned and get the little lump on her left eyelid removed on April 24.

April 9, 2018 – Lexi went to the vet for a complete check up on Friday.  She is a solid 23.5lbs girl and would benefit from losing 2lbs.  Lexi has been brought up to date in her vaccination and she is getting her teeth cleaned and the little lump on her left eye removed on Aril 24.  Lexi is exceptionally good with people but we think that she would do better as an only dog as she doesn’t like dogs getting in her face.

April 3, 2018 – Lexi is settling nicely. She walked in our house and settled like she’s part of the family. She’s a great eater but we have to keep our eye on the other dogs food or she’ll help herself…lol. We’ve also noticed her favourite spot to lay during the day is on the back of our sofas! Preferably behind one of our heads ! Lexi is running around and playing outside with the other dogs and loves the interaction! On leash, she is pretty good and walks beautifully with the other three. We gave her a nice bath and she sat like a princess and had a nice wash. Lexi is going to the vet this Friday for a complete check up.

March 31, 2018 – Lexi arrived today, she was surrendered by her owner who didn’t have the time to look after her anymore.  Lexi is a Boston/Pug and she is 9 years old.  She is used to small dogs and kids.  Lexi will be going to the vet in the coming week for a complete check up.  Stay tuned for more info on Lexi as we get to discover her personality.

March 31, 2018 – Chico is gone to his forever home in Montreal, QC.  He will be lucky to go to work every day with his new mom.

March 24, 2018 – Chico continues to be a very sweet boy and sometimes talks to us when he’s excited. He is more interested in playing now since his teeth have been removed. The past couple days, we have gone out for a little bit and Chico has barked more when we left and when we came home. So definitely showing a bit of signs of separation anxiety. He definitely likes being with other dogs and will snuggle with the resident pugs. Chico would not like to be left at home alone for long periods of time. He loves playing with kids and dogs and he is very gentle. Chico is healing nicely from his dental surgery. His breath is now fresh and he looks much happier. Chico is doing a great job in the house training dept.
He didn’t try to mark when we visited a friend’s house. Chico is very polite when on leash and and enjoys 4 to 6 walks per day. Chico continues to love his raw food. His coat is so shiny & soft. Chico sleeps in the big bed. We don’t think he would do well in a crate. He will bark & cry when he’s separated from us on a different floor by a gate or a door. Chico has free range of the home and he’s not destructive. He continues to grow in showing us his temperament. He’s occasionally testing boundaries (jumped on coffee table looking for food). He is starting to understand zoomies and is chasing one of the resident pugs in a very playful game. With lots of attention, this sweet boy will continue to grow and be more confident.

March 20, 2018 – Chico had 13 teeth removed today and the rest were polished.  Chico is back to his foster family for a smooth recovery.

March 9, 2018 – Chico went to the vet and was brought up to date in his vaccination.  He’s a healthy boy who had a rough life so far.  Chico will soon get his teeth cleaned.

March 7, 2018 – Chico came in last night.  He was surrendered to us as the resident dog didn’t get along with small dogs, he had his ears chewed and was viciously bitten on his back a while ago.  Chico is 5 years old and he is neutered.  Chico had a nice visit at the groomer to get a nice bath and get his nails cut.  Chico is a very sweet & snuggly boy but is finding is voice as he gets more comfortable. He likes to be told he is a good boy and gets along easily with the resident pugs so far. He is most definitely a Daddy’s boy.  Chico will be going to the vet in the coming week for a complete check up.

March 22, 2018 – Leon is gone to his forever home and will share his life with a puggle brother.

March 17, 2018 – Leon is a very sweet boy.  He loves cuddles and the company of other dogs.  Leon is looking for his forever home.  If you think you are the family for this adorable pug X, please submit your Adoption Application.

March 11, 2018 – Leon no longer sleeps in his crate. He’s made a more comfortable sleeping spot on the couch on the main floor on top of a nice warm fuzzy blanket. No accidents anywhere in the morning either! We’ve learned he doesn’t like the car. He gets very anxious. He loves playing outside in the snow with his ball. He’s still eating and drinking very well. We’ve been trying to teach him how to sit and stay. He still needs a lot of practice but he’ll get there! New obsession of the week are belly rubs!

March 4, 2018 – Leon is such a sweet boy! We have noticed a huge change in his behaviour over the last week. He is such a snuggle bug! He still gets nervous around new people but warms up to them pretty quickly. He loves playing with any rubber toy! He does get very possessive over his toys but that is something we are working on. The house training is going well! He’s only had two accidents in the house this week. He loves going for out for walks and is great with his harness. He does very well with other dogs. He does get jealous when another dog gets attention so he will come right up and sit on your lap to make sure you don’t forget about him. He loves snuggling up with our Puggle. He does very well in his crate at night. He sleeps right through the night. We are in the process of teaching him how to sit and stay. Leon is making great progress!  Leon is getting his teeth cleaned on March 14.

February 23, 2018 – Leon is a pug x (we think he is a mixed with a Boston Terrier); he was found stray and never claimed.  He has been neutered, brought up to date in his vaccination & microchipped.  He needs to have his teeth cleaned.  Leon is going to the vet tomorrow for a complete check up.  This sweet boy is 17lbs and he is quite active.  Loves his ball and the company of other dogs.  Stay tuned for more on Leon as we get to know him.

December 12, 2017 – Bobby is such a blast. She is a cheerful and funny addition to our foster home. She is almost always happy and really loves to snuggle and play. Bobbie is going for a pre op checkup today for her spay and soft pallet surgery on December 19. She did have some skin breakdown between toes. With regular toe clipping, cleaning and polysporin it has cleared up. Bobbie had only one pee accident. Turns out she is not a fan of winter nor snow, she tricked us into thinking she had went outside and then peed inside. She hasn’t done this since. Such a smart girl. When the weather is nice, she likes walks. When it is cold and windy, she tries to sit in protest. She is learning that walks happen no matter the weather. She is very thankful for her warm knit sweated when we do go out.  She has no problem eating and drinking.  Bobbie sleeps in her own bed on the floor at the foot of our bed. She loves naps. Bobbie loves to run in circles when she is happy. She likes chasing the resident pugs and being chased. Bobbie has done the indoor stairs more and more. She just does them in her own time. And sometimes, she gets carried if she decides to fall asleep at the top of the stairs instead of coming down.  Socially, she has interacted well with other dogs we have met on the street. Bobbie is very affectionate and loves to show you how much she loves you. She also likes to cuddle one of the resident pugs.

December 5, 2017 – Bobbie went to the vet yesterday for a complete check up.  This sweet girl is 20lbs.  She needs to have her soft palate shorten and nostrils enlarged as she’s breathing very heavily.  She will get spayed at the same time.  The surgeries are scheduled for December 19.

December 4, 2017 – Bobbie is doing really, really well. She has been a very easy dog to transition to our home and follow a routine. Sometimes, when she gets really excited she has a tough time breathing it can get pretty bad. Overall she looks healthy, clean ears, nose, nicely clipped nails. Bobbie is a solid girl and will definitely benefit from weight loss. She has also had several reverse sneezing episodes when she gets excited.  Bobbie is house trained. She has not made any messes and does a great job doing her business outside. It does not appear that Bobbie has had much experience walking on leash. She doesn’t pull and is quite polite but spends a fair amount of time circling around us and needs some direction. She really enjoys walks and has a good amount of energy.  So far she eats well. She gets 1/4 cup of kibble with some wet food as a topper. She sometimes doesn’t completely finish it. However she is food obsessed and it appears she was fed table food. She has been known to beg, but is quickly learning that isn’t the rules in the foster home. Bobbie is the easiest girl to settle down at night. She quickly found her new bed all by herself last night and was asleep in no time. She slept all night and had to be woken up for breakfast this morning. Bobbie loves stuffed animals and likes to carry them around in her mouth and toss them in the air. She of course really likes to follow the humans around the house and goes where the resident pugs go too!  So far the only fear we have noted is she is not a fan of going down our indoor stairs. She will just sit at the top. So we have been carrying her. So stairs are new. We will work on them when she is ready. Socially she plays really well with the resident pugs. She is quite the curious girl and likes to check everything out in the house and on walks. Bobbie has major head tilts. Ask her a question or make some noise and she will show you all her head tilts. It is very cute.  Bobbie is the Kissing Monster! She loves to show her affection for you.  She really is just a sweet, sweet girl.

December 3, 2017 – Bobbie came to us yesterday.  She was retrieve from a hoarding situation.  Bobbie is a nice girl and she gets along well with other dogs.  Bobbie will be going to the vet this week for a complete check and to have her spaying surgery scheduled.  Stay tuned for more on this sweet girl as we get to know her more.

December 19, 2017 – Rosie is in great health and the perfect weight- no issues at all. Rosie is doing much better walking on a leash but still needs a bit of coaxing to get her harness on. While walking, she will bark at people, but is very friendly when they are able to approach and greet her. She loves any form of attention! Rosie looks forward to mealtimes. She sits on command and waits patiently for us to put her food down. We make her wait till we give her the okay to eat.  Rosie sleeps in her crate with a fuzzy blanket. We keep her on our main floor and we don’t hear a peep out of her all night until morning and she can hear people talking. She also likes sleeping on a blanket on the furniture next to someone.  We love finding out new things Rosie likes to play and do each week! We have noticed she is fond of gentle tug of war type play as well as dragging her bed around our living room and she has a great love for thin socks! Rosie isn’t a big fan of big dogs that get in her personal space. She also isn’t too sure about cats from her vet visit a few weeks ago. I will re-introduce her to our neighbours cat this week and see how that goes. She does like gentle, non- hyper dogs. Rosie loves everyone she meets and vise versa! She does very well with our 9 yr old son though. Rosie is full of energy and is wiggly when we pick her up and will attempt to jump down when held. Rosie is very inquisitive! She likes to know what’s going on all the time!

December 17, 2017 – Rosie is doing very well.  She’s good with other dogs and she’s an active girl.  Rosie would do good with another dog or as an only dog with active family.

December 11, 2017 – Rosie’s vet visit went well!- she had a few teeth extractions along with a cleaning, micro chipping and a pedicure.  Rosie has had a few accidents in the house since her arrival. She is doing much better walking on a leash. She will still stop midway and not walk and have to bribe her with a treat or food to continue on our way. She still is not a big fan of doing her business while walking and prefers to do so in our backyard. Rosie eats well and quick! Rosie will lay beside us on our couch and not even budge when we eat something beside her.  Rosie is definitely a cuddler!- she loves nothing more than to be close or on you when your sitting on a couch or chair. Rosie likes her toys and she likes small tennis balls. She also has an obsession with stealing socks. She won’t chew them, but will take them and place them in random spots.  The only fears we’ve seen are big vehicles and she doesn’t like to be left alone in a room. She also is uncomfortable when someone hovers over her. She’s a follower of myself ( her foster mummy) particularly and will follow me everywhere in every room. If she cant see me, she will wimper until I am in view. She has learnt pretty quick not to be in our dining room when we are eating or in our kitchen when preparing food. She happily sits in the doorway watching us.  Rosie the nosy pug is a very sweet cuddly dog!

December 5, 2017 – Rosie is a very sweet girl, she hasn’t had 1 accident in the house since she came in.  It doesn’t seem that  she has been walked on a leash often. She waves all over the place and is startled by big vehicles. She even thought she should stop mid-way in a field during our walk last night and wouldn’t budge ! She also doesn’t like walking in tall grass.  Rosie eats well with no aggression. You can put your hand in her bowl with her consuming food. She does however eat very quickly.  Rosie loves to be on the couch and often on us under a blanket when catching up on sleep. She was quite restless last night and ventured from bed to bed all through the night. Rosie likes her toys. She doesn’t seem to know what to do with a ball though. She likes it when we initiate play. From what we have observed with Rosie so far, the only fear we’ve seen are big vehicles and doesn’t like to be left alone in a room. She also is uncomfortable when someone hovers over her. She’s a follower and will follow us everywhere in every room. We are teaching her that personal space is important when her human friends prepare and eat dinner so she doesn’t stepped on.  Rosie is a quick learner and we are confident that she will have no problem learning other new things introduced to her.  We should also mention that when we were at the vets yesterday, there was an office pet cat. She really seemed unsure of what that furry thing with the long tail was!  We have nicknamed her Rosie the nosy dog!- she likes to take socks! she won’t chew them, but will take them and move them around our house if given the opportunity. She also likes to crawl on her belly and stretch her back legs and pull herself all over the carpet. When she’s in a vehicle, she is very eager to see what her surroundings are. Including looking at other people while driving by or at red lights. To sum things up, Rosie is a sweetheart!

December 3, 2017 – Rosie was surrendered by her owner.  She’s 5 years old and she’s spayed.  Rosie is good with other dogs and she will be going to the vet this week for a complete check up.  Stay tuned for more on this beautiful girl as we get to know her more.

December 12, 2017 – Dora went to her forever home today…(:

December 4, 2017 – Today we put up our Christmas tree. Dora was an enthusiastic bystander . We had some friends over with young children to help decorate. Dora cuddled them on the couch and supervised the festivities.

December 2, 2017 – Dora is doing well. We gave her a bath just now and changed her dressing. Dora’s got a bed full of toys and a blanket she loves to tussle with. I love how she comes to greet me at the door when I come home.

November 28, 2017 – Dora had an excellent first night in her new foster home. She was excited to explore the Centretown neighbourhood with all its sounds and smells, so we took her on a walk to Dundonald park and back before the snow fell. Then we came home and she finished her dinner with gusto.  We had friends with small children (4 and 6) over for dinner and she was curious and gentle with them, despite their shrieking and shenanigans. Dora loved playing with squeaky toys and would take them under the kitchen table where she could play uninterrupted. Her favourite thing is a good belly scratch. She’ll roll over and invite you to scratch her belly for full minutes at a time, urging you on with her paws in the air.  After dinner and company left, we took her out for a walk in the snow before bed. She examined every nook and cranny of her new neighbourhood very closely. She liked to lick the freshly fallen snow. Each noise was something to stop, pause and explore.  We gave her her pill before bed with a little bit of cheese as instructed and she cuddled up in our bed, sleeping on her back and breathing peacefully: a happy first night.

November 21, 2017 – Dora went to the vet today for a complete check up and blood work.  We will get the results in a few days.  Dora is 27.8lbs, she needs to lose about 8lbs to be at a healthy weight.  Dora is getting her teeth cleaning this Friday and she will be ready to attend her first Adoption Awareness Event this Sunday at Pet Valu @250 Greenbank Road in Ottawa from 11AM to 3PM.

November 19, 2017 – Dora came in yesterday.  She was surrendered by her owner.  Dora is born on March 11, 2011 so she is 6 1/2 years old.  Dora is spayed and up to date in her vaccination.  She’s on Prednisone for skin issues .  Dora is going to the vet this Tuesday for a complete check up and blood work.  Dora is overweight and we will be working on slimming her down in the coming weeks.  Come and meet Dora this Sunday, November 26 at Pet Valu at 250 Greenbank Road on Nepean from 11Am to 3PM.

December 1, 2017 – Gus is gone to his forever home today, he will share his life with a pug brother.

November 16, 2017 – Gus will be a great pug for a lucky family. He is smart. He is young and eager to learn and please you when you are consistent with direction, boundaries & rules. He’s quirky. He likes to take all his toys out of the toy box and then plays with the box. He is walking so well with Little Ray, the pug and, they still play together like tug of war with a toy or chase each other. He loves to be near you and loves to chew the Himalayan chew or his antler knob right at/on your feet and beside Ray. Gus would be great with a family that will keep him active and entertained and with another bigger playful dog to show him the ropes.  Gus is 24.7lbs
Note that Gus is still a puppy and would benefit and thrive in obedience training.  Gus is NOT suitable for life in an apartment and we won’t consider applications where applicants are gone all day.  Kids over 10 as he could jump and make younger ones fall.

November 13, 2017 – Due to the lack of time to take care of him, Gus was surrendered to us.  This handsome lad is going to be 1 on December 16.  He is neutered and up to date in his vaccination.  Gus will be going to the vet tomorrow for a complete check and to be microchipped.  Gus is a very energetic dog who gets along well with other dogs.  He loves to play with them and play tug of war.  Stay tuned for more on this sweet boy.

November 28, 2017 – Turbo has healed really nicely from being neutered. He is got his hind dew claw sutures removed and he is really excited about getting his cone removed. Turbo has never lifted a leg once and has never pooped in the house. He enjoys being praises for doing his business outside. He is very much a people pleaser. Turbo is a little insecure on walks. He is scared of your feet sometimes but he also heels pretty well with some correction. He is very smart. He loves going for walks and would probably really benefit from an active family. I am sure he would love to go for runs. Turbo is very polite when it comes to dinner time. He knows his food hits the floor last in our pack and he waits so patiently. He eats pretty quickly. He showed some interest in one of our resident pug’ s bowl and she let him know thats not allowed and he had never bothered again. He is also very gentle when given a treat it’s very sweet. He knows he must sit in his bed during our meal time. Turbo loves hard bones to chew on and chases balls. He loves stuffed animals too but he mostly just rips then apart. He also has chewed a blanket so that kind of stuff has to be kept away. He gets the zoomies just like the resident pugs.  Turbo will bark at loud noises but will stop when told. He doesn’t seem to mind the vacuum. He is pretty social with our dogs. I’m not sure if it’s just because he has been wearing a cone or not but he often shakes (like a dog does when he’s wet) and when he does his tail is like a whip. For that reason he would have to be watched when near small children. Turbo is one of the sweetest boys we have met. He loves attention and thrives with it. He follows you everywhere just like the resident pugs do. He always has to be touching you when laying on couch or floor. He is very sensitive.
