MIKAELA - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 8 years old | 42 pounds | Low energy | Curious meeting dogs | No cats please, shows prey drive | Limited exposure to kids | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Affectionate & gentle

Meet MIKAELA. This gal is as affectionate as they come and, with that in mind, will be asking for all the belly rubs and ear scratches you have to offer her! While playing isn’t her thing, socializing is, and when not busy with that, one of her preferred pastimes is alternating between napping spots.

Flexible in terms of her living environment, the one constant that MIKAELA requires (and enjoys!) is lots of naps. After the sun has gone down in the evening, she likes to stay all comfy-cozy in the warmth that the indoors offer. During her daytime walks, however, she’s all tail wags. 

Her foster family has been taking her for a few nice walks a day, and she’s been building up more stamina for them each time they go. MIKAELA finds joy in taking her time and sniffing all the smells. While she knows not to chase squirrels, it is still a love of hers, and sometimes the temptation can be too much! Note: She does show a prey drive, which means it’s best if she goes to a home with no cats.

With repetition, MIKAELA has been starting to understand the concept of boundaries, and overall, training is going well. House trained and sleeping through the night, MIKAELA is happy to chill on her own if you need to run some errands, using her crate during such time.

This scruff shows a calm interest in new people, though she’s still shy, and allowing her to approach in her own time has worked best. She has met one child in her current environment and was both calm and gentle when they approached her. With time and patience, MIKAELA becomes more comfortable with meeting larger dogs, and generally speaking, is curious when meeting other dogs.

We’d love for you to meet her! Apply to adopt.

KUMQUAT - APP IN PROCESS

Male | 3.5 months old | 20 pounds & growing | Medium energy | Good second dog | Hasn’t met kids or cats | Fostered in Aurora | Playful & rambunctious

KUMQUAT. A sunshiney, three-and-a-half-month-old pup, with a zesty little personality that rather perfectly reflects his name.

All playful puppy energy, KUMQUAT is the kind of scruff whose social nature would lend well to having a canine companion in the home. KUMQUAT’S curiosity often has him following his human companions around, if only to check out what it is that they’re doing. With other dogs, his intrigue is more present when passing dogs on walks.

The structured days that his foster family has laid out for him are what enable him to show off his best self. This scruff is smart, and he picks things up quickly. Case in point: both house training and, more recently, crate training have been going well. 

KUMQUAT has been enjoying playing indoors, especially since it’s been chilly out lately. One of his favourite toys to chew on is his Kong, which his foster family lovingly fills with treats. It’s the best! Outside, KUMQUAT has been getting the hang of leash walking. Every once in a while, he can pull a little when excited, but even when he does, he’s receptive to corrections.
