They love you unconditionally. Will you love them the same?

Adopting is one of the best things you can do.

When you adopt, you are not just giving a deserving dog a home. You are also reducing the demand for puppy mills and other industrial-scale breeding operations that put profit before animal welfare. Please join us on our journey to write the next chapter in rescue dogs lives.

Meet Our Available Dogs

  • Meet Dolly!

    She is a 2-years old Bull terrier, Lab mix.

    With her adorable polka-dot coat (peep the eyebrow), bright eyes and big goofy grin, Dolly is just as fun and fabulous as she looks! She is a whole vibe — equal parts playful goofball, sassy queen and snuggly sweetheart.

    Dolly came to us as a stray from City of Hamilton Animal Services, and ever since, she has been dazzling everyone she meets with her sparkly personality. She has a heart of gold and a flair for fun, whether she is zooming around the yard, chasing her favourite toy or striking a pose with her signature head tilt.

    Dolly is curious, clever and crazy about treats, which makes training a breeze. This girl is all about learning new tricks if snacks are involved!

    She is already crate-trained, house-trained and has impeccable toy taste (spoiler: she loves ALL of them). Dolly is fantastic with kids and loves respectful dog friends. Her energy is just right — enough for playtime and adventures, but she is also a pro at couch cuddles and lazy afternoon naps.

    If you're looking for a four-legged best friend who brings the laughs, gives the best kisses and makes every day feel like a party, Dolly is your girl. She has the looks, charm and so much love to give, all she’s missing is her forever family.

  • Meet Sadie!

    She is a 1-year old Belgian Shepherd, Black Mouth Cur mix.

    Looking for a sweet, soft-hearted side kick with a goofy grin and heart-melting eyes? Meet Sadie! A gentle, young soul who is just starting to figure out how awesome her life can be.

    Sadie came to us as a stray from City of Hamilton Animal Services, where her backstory is a bit of a mystery. What we do know is that she has a heart full of potential and a personality just waiting to shine. A tall ball of cuddly cuteness, this lovely lady is still a big puppy at heart, ready to learn, grow and fall in love with life (and her new family)!

    Sadie greets new people and dogs with her signature low tail wag hello, a sweet mix of curiosity and caution. She is happy to make friends with everyone!

    She would thrive in a home that is willing to go at her pace, gently helping her grow through positive experiences, structured training and lots of love. Sadie loves dogs and really could benefit from a furry friend to show her whats out here in this amazing world!

    Training classes? Enrichment games? Long walks followed by snuggles? Sadie is your girl! She is smart, sensitive and oh so ready to soak up all the love, life lessons and adventures you are willing to share alongside her.

    Sadie is a gem with a gentle sparkle! A little polish, a little love and she will shine brighter than ever.

    If you have the heart to help her flow, she has the love to give right back!

  • Meet Lola!

    She is a 2-years old American Bulldog, Lab, Hound mix.

    The full package: Affectionate, playful and just a little quirky in the most lovable way. Lola came to us from City of Hamilton Animal Services after being found as a stray, and ever since, she has been turning heads and winning hearts with her wiggly tail, gentle eyes and irresistible charm.

    Lola loves people, all people, and gives the kind of hugs that instantly melt stress away. She is also great with cats, which is a rare gem! With other dogs, she is a bit more selective and prefers calm, well-mannered friends. In fact, she is happiest as the one and only pup, soaking up all the attention (and belly rubs) for herself. She has so much love to give and she would love to give it all to you, we cannot say we blame her!

    She walks beautifully on leash most of the time, but we will be honest: Lola can get vocal and overstimulated when she sees other dogs out and about. She is working on it and will thrive with someone who is patient, willing to continue training and understands that she sometimes just needs a little help staying calm. She is already house-trained, crate-trained and knows her basic commands like “sit” and “wait.” Treats? Yes, please! This girl is eager to please and super smart when food is involved.

    Lola would shine in a home that enjoys daily walks, understands the importance of structure and loves winding down together at the end of the day. If you are looking for a snuggly, goofy, loyal companion who will stick by your side and make you laugh daily, Lola just might be your perfect match.
