COCO - ADOPTABLE

Meet our ever first Great Dane mix, beautiful Coco!

1 yr old | Great Dane Mix | 77 lbs 

 Coco is everyone’s childhood fantasy - a Great Dane - with likely a Lab or Shepard mix (perhaps you could say ‘condo-sized Dane’!). 

Having just turned 1 year old, she has a young puppy-like demeanor, always playful with a rambunctious spirit.  Coco has no issues meeting people when given a moment to take them in. Long legged and lanky, she easily could keep pace with an adventurous lifestyle, is able to relax and chill with guidance, and will always choose silly over serious.  

Coco could be in a home with another dog with the right temperament and structure, or would be perfectly happy as an only dog. Cats likely not (at least for the time being while she’s young), small dogs probably not because she's so large and generally unaware of her body! 

 Coco could be completely fine in a home with older children/teens - no small or young children due to her size, strength and lack of body awareness.  

Coco is very trainable and THRIVES under guidance and structure. As she likely has some working dog genetics in her mix, she does very well when given a task, like the splendid restful command of heel or place. She currently completing a board and train program compliments of a generous donor and she needs an owner who can continue her valuable skillset so that she can live her biggest life. 

 She could live contently in an apartment or  house - city or rural - she is more than (sometimes too) happy to be energetic and active, but also knows how to rest and go with the flow.  

She is fully crate trained, is smart as a whip, and has a very solid start to her obedience underway. She does not show any signs of resource guarding or separation anxiety.  

Coco will require a home with folks who are comfortable and confident handling larger dogs with boisterous energy, or someone who is eager to learn. Her new training and skills have opened a whole new world for her and she’d be best served by those who are happy to carry on with all the benefits they bring her. 

 Coco is a big gorgeous girl, who is never short on silly and spunky. This energetic gal is a pleasure to spend time with and there’s no doubt she’ll find folks out there who are a great fit for her.

Meet Ravi – A gentle soul looking for his second chance

🧡 Age: 1.5 years | Breed: Terrier x Collie Mix | Weight: 45 lbs | Energy: Medium

Say hello to Ravi, our last-minute miracle pulled from a high-kill shelter just in time. Behind his soft eyes is a heart full of hope and tenderness, waiting for the right person to show him how good life can truly be.

Ravi is incredibly sweet and gentle, with a soft muzzle he loves to nuzzle in for affection. He’s fully crate trained, wonderfully quiet indoors, and walks calmly on leash with the right gear. While the world is still a little overwhelming for him, he grows braver every single day.

This shy boy would do best in a calmer environment outside the buzz of downtown life—think peaceful neighborhoods, nature trails, and a home full of patience and love. Ravi is great passing people on walks and shows no leash reactivity. He may do well with another calm dog, and children 12+ who respect his space.

His current favorite pastime? Cozying up and simply being home. But as he gains confidence, we think he’ll learn to love walks, hikes, and gentle adventures by your side.

Ravi could thrive in a low-rise apartment, townhome, or house—with someone who’s ready to offer the steady love and slow pace he needs to blossom.

📥 Think you’re the calm, kind soul Ravi’s been waiting for?

Meet Kimo – Your Gentle Giant with a Heart of Gold

At 6 years old and 65 lbs, Kimo is a Saint Bernard mix with a calm soul and a loving spirit. This sweet, kind-hearted boy is the ultimate cuddle buddy, always ready to shower you with affection—and maybe gently offer his paw for a few extra pets (it’s as adorable as it sounds).

Kimo is incredibly friendly and wants to meet everyone he sees, hoping for just a little more love. He’s had some basic training and walks beautifully when it’s quiet, often heeling like a pro. He does get a bit excited around people or other dogs and may pull to say hello, but he’s a fast learner and already shows signs of recall.

One of Kimo’s favorite things in the world? Fetch. Whether it’s a tennis ball or a squeaky toy, he’ll dash off to retrieve it and drop it gently at your feet—every single time. It’s the kind of sweetness that makes your heart melt.

While he’s doing well with crate training and will go in on command, Kimo would be happiest in a home where he can roam freely, stretch out for naps, and soak up all the attention. He’s gentle with other dogs, great with kids, and takes treats like a true gentleman.

If you’re looking for a devoted, mellow, and lovable companion who will be by your side for every cuddle and play session, Kimo is your guy. He’s ready to give his whole heart to a family who will love him right back.

 He looks to be a terrier X basset hound and is medium in both size and energy. 

He is happiest in the company of his people and is very loving and affectionate. He likes walks both long and short. 

Parker is fully crate trained, potty trained (he even has a potty cue on command!!)  and is working on his extended in home obedience - he’s very low key in the house. 

He walks incredible on leash, no pulling at all. BFF has worked diligently to make him a solid, furry companion.  He loves playing with his toys and eating snacks - he’s a bit of a gourmand.

 Parker would do best as the only animal in the house hold. 

Kids: Parker could be in a home with an older child, but generally speaking, he likes a calm household.  

Overall he’s a sweet soul just waiting to be found by his family.

 If you're looking for a goofy, little loyal companion and sense of humour in your life, Parker just might be the perfect match.

Meet little Forrest 

Chihuahua Mix | 8 Years Old | 7 lbs

This tiny sweetheart is full of love and looking for his forever cuddle buddy! 

Forrest is as friendly and affectionate as they come—he adores his humans and enjoys the company of smaller dogs. Big pups can be a little intimidating for him, but give him a cozy blanket and a warm lap, and he’s in heaven.

Forrest sleeps peacefully in his kennel at night, during the day he’s working on learning to be apart from his human. He’s a champ on leash and a great walking buddy (as long as it’s not raining—he’s not about that wet life).

If you’re searching for a devoted, snuggly sidekick Forrest is your guy

This gentle giant has a heart overflowing with affection and greets everyone he meets with enthusiastic kisses (we're helping him learn that not everyone wants one right away!).

Braden is incredibly eager to please and thrives on positive reinforcement—especially when treats are involved! He’s not food aggressive, just happily food motivated, making him a great candidate for continued training. Braden’s favorite pastimes include epic games of tug-of-war, chewing on tennis balls, and hanging out with his people.

With a little guidance and consistency, Braden is sure to blossom into the perfect companion.

11 months old | Lab/shepherd Mix | 45 lbs

Brandy is a stunning, 11 month old lab/shepherd/terrier mix. She has a wonderful playful and goofy personality. She loves her humans, while it takes a minute for her to warm up, when you’re in, you’re in. She is both independent, and soft and loving. Brandy could be in a home with another dog with the right temperament, or as a solo dog. Cats unsure, small dogs probably not because she’s clumsy!!
Kids no.

Brandy is highly trainable and LOVES working. She has had an extensive board and train compliments of her rescue and we need a human who can upkeep her skills this far.

She could live in an apartment, a condo or a stand-alone house, but would do well with an active family! Hikers? Walkers? Outdoorsy folks? Brandy is your girl.

Brandy will require an adult only home or a family with kids 16 and older.
She is fully crate trained, has stellar obedience. She does an amazing job relaxing in the house when it’s time to chill. She does not exhibit any signs of resource guarding or separation anxiety.

Brandy will require a home either with experience with dogs with drive (hello shepherd people!!) a decent foundation on leash handling skills, or someone who is super willing to learn and hold her accountable when needed.

In short, brandy is an absolute diamond in the rough. From a high kill shelter in California, nervous and shut down, to a playful, silly, happy young dog in Canada, brandy is just waiting to be scooped up by the perfect match. She’s an absolute joy - we’re so excited for her forever home to find her.

If you'd like to meet Brandy, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

 Meet Glory! 

Age: 8 | Weight: 57lbs | Breed: Pitbull Mix

Glory is a sweet, loyal girl looking for her forever home.  

Here’s a little about her:

Crate Training: Glory sleeps soundly through the night (9-11 hours) in her crate! She can be left alone for up to 5 hours, with a little whining when she knows you’re around. She’s quick to settle down and only barks for a few minutes when you leave.

Leash Walking: Glory pulls on the leash, but she’s working on it! With some training, she has the potential to improve.

Potty Training: No accidents indoors! She does her business quickly outside. 

Basic Commands: Glory knows “sit” and responds to her name. She’s definitely food-motivated and will patiently wait for a treat! 

Behavior: Glory LOVES people! She’s dog-reactive on and off-leash (barking & lunging), but once the dog is out of sight, she’s totally fine. She’s had success walking side by side with other dogs, so with slow introductions, she could get along with another dog. Her reaction to cats and kids is still unknown.

Ideal Home: Glory would do best as the only dog at first, or in a home where slow introductions to another dog are possible. She LOVES to cuddle on the couch and play with her tennis ball. 

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who loves to snuggle, Glory might be your girl! 

Meet Porter!

Porter is a striking 2 year old long-coated Doberman with a big personality to match his large frame (65-70 lbs). 

He was surrendered in California after his previous owner struggled with his training, but since then, he has made great progress with us at BFF.

Porter is a fun-loving, goofy dog who will thrive with an experienced and confident handler—someone dedicated to continuing the structured training he has received so far. 

His leash skills are excellent, and he’s fully housebroken and crate-trained. He knows his basic obedience commands and does not exhibit resource guarding or separation anxiety.

Ideal home for Porter: 

✅ No young kids
❓ Cats are uncertain (we’re open to testing, but suspect he may not be a good fit)
🚫 No other dogs at this time
🏡 A standalone home or townhome (no apartments/condos)—not because he needs a yard, but because elevators might be challenging for him.

Porter tends to feel more secure around women, and we have been working on building his confidence with men. With continued patience and structure, he will continue to grow into the incredible companion we know he can be.

As a Doberman, Porter exhibits many breed-typical traits—Dobermans were originally bred for working roles such as police, military, and service work, which makes them highly intelligent and driven. Because of this, Porter needs a committed owner who understands and respects the needs of a working breed.

We are deeply invested in Porter’s success, so we are looking for an adopter who is equally committed to his ongoing training and well-being. 

If you think you might be the right match, please fill out an application below—we’d love to see if you and Porter are meant to be!

Meet our sweet boy Flynn!

2 y/o | 11 lbs | Chihuahua Mix

Flynn is a sweet, gentle soul with Velcro dog vibes—he’ll be your little shadow! Fully house-trained and crate-trained, he’s amazing on leash (no pulling, always by your side) and responds well to basic commands and hand signals.

He’s calm, quiet, and cuddly once he warms up. Flynn isn’t the type to run up to strangers, but he’s incredibly affectionate with his person. He’s great with grooming, ignores loud noises, and is very agile (tiny but mighty!).

Not tested with kids, dogs, or cats in the home, but shows some leash reactivity that’s improving with gentle correction. He’d do best in a calm adult home where he can continue to thrive.

Flynn is truly a little gem—ready to bond and love hard.

If you’d like to meet this little guy, please fill out the adoption application on our website.

Meet Maurice – A Resilient, Loving Companion

Maurice is a 3-year-old Maltese mix with a heart full of love and a story of survival. Found on the streets of California in terrible condition, he was so severely matted that he could barely see. After receiving much-needed medical care, Maurice’s sweet personality began to shine.

Despite his tough past, Maurice is a playful and affectionate little guy. He adores mealtime and won’t hesitate to give you a little bark to remind you when it's time to eat. He loves cuddles, enjoys being pampered during baths and trims, and is learning to socialize with other dogs. City noise doesn’t bother him, and he thrives in a calm, low-activity environment.

Maurice has been diagnosed with heart disease and is on lifelong medication, with a prognosis of up to two years. He is now searching for his last forever home—a safe and loving place where he can be cherished for the rest of his days. If you're looking for a sweet, easygoing companion to shower with love, Maurice is ready to be by your side.

Could you be the one to give Maurice the love-filled home he deserves? ❤️
