Meet our handsome boy Rusty!  

1 year  - Potcake mix - 50 lbs  

Rusty is a super affectionate guy who is 75% legs! He thinks everything is great fun, he's just happy to be involved. His favourite pass times are being brushed and snuggling with his humans.

 He is young and full of energy and would thrive with an active household to take him on all the adventures! He is happy with a neighbourhood walk or a long hike and anything in-between. 

He LOVES to play in the water!  This young boy still needs some help to learn the ropes on how to be the bestest boy. But he is a quick study, and eager to please! 

Rusty is happiest in the company of his people, but will settle in his crate when his people need to go out without him. 

He is fully house trained, and even goes and sits at the back door when he wants a potty break! 

He is not tested around children or cats. He is sometimes unsure of other dogs on leash. But do play well with small dogs off leash - not tested with bigger dogs yet. 

Rusty would do best as the only dog in the home or the only big dog in the home.  

He loves to snuggle with his people, have snacks, play with his toys and learn new tricks or commands. 

Rusty is a handsome, very sweet, and goofy guy looking to find his furever family.

Meet the most handsome dog you've ever laid your eyes on: Mr. Baloo! 

8 months - 53 lbs - Lab mix

This guy sat in the shelter unnoticed after being found as a stray. He had a microchip, but his family never came to get him. After a month in the shelter, his time was up and he was suppose to be euthanized. Just hours before we scooped the big boy up, because our incredible foster Amber said yes to welcoming him in. 

Now he's made his way here to us, and we cannot believe this playful, loving angel was suppose to be euthanized. We're so grateful he made it out. 

Baloo is such a joyful spirit, and is as playful as any 8 month old dog can be! 

He loves other dogs and loves to wrestle with them. He gets well along with people too. 

Overall he's a big LOVEBUG who can't wait to make someone so very happy!

This 4 year old, 11 pound, chihuahua-shaped lap blanket is taking applications for his new forever family!  

Bronson has clearly lived in a home before because he’s been showing us his skills. 

We’re still learning his language, but he knows the basics for sure and comes when he is called. 

He appears to be completely potty trained and has not had an accident in the house since his arrival. 

He sleeps in his bed and waits quietly to be let out of his enclosure in the morning. 

Bronson is working on his crate training and making progress every day! 

He’s good on a leash and does all of his walks with his nose to the ground, taking in all of the information in his environment.  

His ideal home would be quiet as he is a little nervous. We’re still learning what he is like around dogs and he has not met a cat yet. 

We think he would do well with kids who can be gentle and calm with him. 

Bronson is the sweetest boy who is ready to complete his forever family!

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.

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

Meet Julia – Your New Best Friend!

Sweet Julia is a gentle soul with a playful heart. At just 8 lbs, she’s the perfect little companion for snuggles, strolls, and everything in between. She’s wonderful with both kids and adults and has been getting along great with the resident dog in her foster home.

Julia is fully house-trained—she does all her business outside in the yard and hasn’t had a single accident indoors or in her crate.

“Hi, I’m Olaf, and I like warm hugs!” 


Meet Olaf! This 10-pound Chihuahua mix is as charming as they come. With his soft, short white fur and adorable tan spots, Olaf turns heads wherever he goes. His docked tail gives him a jaunty little wiggle, and his sweet nature makes him irresistible.

 Olaf is neutered, microchipped, and ready for his forever home. He’s incredibly well-behaved—housetrained, walks beautifully on leash, and is calm and content when left alone. 

Playful when you're ready to play, and chill when you're not, Olaf adapts to the energy around him with ease. He's a lovely balance of brains and charm—smart, responsive, and would thrive with regular walks, playtime, or even fun activities like agility or flyball. 

Olaf has already met a wide variety of dogs—different sizes, breeds, and temperaments—and he's been a perfect gentleman every time. 

He's friendly, relaxed, and eager to make new best friends, both human and canine. He’s not nervous or high-strung, which is a rare and wonderful trait in a little dog, and especially in a rescue.  

He’s also very clean, easy to groom, and has that sweet “puppy smell” without the teething and training hassles. 

In short, Olaf is a gem: a playful, gentle, and loving companion who will make his future family feel incredibly lucky. 
Because some dogs are worth melting for!

Willy gets along with other dogs, showcasing his easy-going and passive nature. He’s also crate trained and house trained, making him a wonderful companion for any household. 

Not to mention, Willy is quite the comedian, frequently bringing joy and laughter to those around him with his funny antics. 

While he’s still learning his commands and doesn’t yet respond to his name, his loving personality more than makes up for it!!

Hi, Eyelet here aka THE Happy Pill! 

If you like cute wiggle butts

and getting caught in the rain

If you're not into yoga (but totally okay, if you are)

If you have half a brain

.....*following lines NSF Rescue Dogs

then I am the professional lover of humans you are looking for.

I was found in an abandoned house in LA. I was in pretty bad shape. But Aunty Sue to the rescue!! My gross matted fur was shaved off and VOILA! The beautiful me burst through.

About me:

LOVE people and kids

Good with other dogs

Great in car rides

2yrs old (guesstimate)

Almost fully potty trained

Mostly crate trained (I complain a little but I do settle in after a few minutes).

I am trying to learn not to jump up on people, but it's so hard not to!!! I want to give all the kisses! My foster family thinks I would do great in training classes. 

So, if I am the love you are looking for, write to BFF and I'll come to you!! (or you can totally come to me too; that probably will work better)!

Meet Theo – Your Loyal Little Shadow

Theo may be just 13 lbs, but he’s packing a whole lot of love into that tiny frame. 

At 2 years old, this adorable chi mix is the definition of “slow and steady wins the race” when it comes to trust. He may be shy at first, but once you’ve earned his heart, get ready for endless couch cuddles and quiet companionship.

Theo is slowly discovering the joy of play, and with patience, he’ll learn to let loose even more. He’s polite with people—including kids—allowing pets and attention, but he won’t be your tail-wagging, face-licking greeter until he truly knows you. The best part? That moment he does trust you feels like pure magic.

He’s a smart little guy who already knows sit and come, and he’s great on walks. Sometimes he voices his opinion when other dogs pass by, but he’s learning with gentle training (and a slip knot leash). Cats, on the other hand? Theo seems to think they’re just fine.

If you’re looking for a devoted companion who will adore you for life, Theo is ready to be your loyal little shadow—whether you’re a busy young family or a quiet household looking for a gentle soul.

Meet our sweet Max!

Terrier mix - 2.5 years old – 14 lbs   

Max was found abandoned/neglected and living on the streets in California along with Moritz. Luckily, they caught the attention of a rescue angel and were saved and did not have to endure the shelter life. 

Max is a sweet, calm & loving guy, very distinguished looking with his beard. Even though he is still a little timid, once he loves you, he LOVES you! Everything is so new for him, but he is taking it all in and doing amazing. 

Max loves to snuggle and will lay his head on your shoulder. He is quiet in the car and will watch out the window with curiosity. 

He gets along with other dogs and loves to empty the toy box and take his favourite toys to his dog bed. 

He is super calm and non destructive in the house and sleeps in his crate at nighttime.

 He walks well on leash, preferring quieter areas still, but is getting more comfortable by the day and soon will be ready for new worldly adventures!

 If you would like to be Max’s new best friend and have a hand at showing him his new best life in Canada, please fill out an application.

Meet our sweet Moritz!

Chih/Terrier mix -

 1 ½ years old – 15 lbs   

Moritz was found abandoned/neglected and living on the streets in California along with Max. Luckily, they caught the attention of a rescue angel and were saved and did not have to endure the shelter life. 

Understandably, after Moritz was saved, he was very nervous and untrusting of humans, but has come so far already. He is super loving & gentle, and his fur is like soft velvet. He has the sweetest face and loves to be with his family. 

He gets along well with other dogs and just starting to initiate play with them. 

I think it would be beneficial for Moritz to have a dog sibling to help him learn the ropes! He is non-destructive in the house and loves his dog bed. 

Moritz is crate trained, sleeps in his crate overnight and has mastered house training like a champ. 

He walks well on leash, sometimes gets excited/nervous when he sees another dog, but is super smart and taking to training very well, just needs more exposure. 

He is super treat/food motivated. If you enjoy the satisfaction of helping a rescue dog overcome their fears and being apart of their amazing journey to a wonderful new life Moritz is your guy!

Meet Kristoff – Your Low-Key, Big-Hearted Buddy

Kristoff is a 6-year-old Miniature Pinscher mix with the soul of a gentleman and the eyes of a poet. Weighing just 6 kg, this small guy has a calm, gentle nature that makes him an absolute pleasure to have around.

At home, Kristoff is the definition of peaceful — content to nap by your side or quietly watch the world go by. But don’t let his laid-back vibe fool you — when it’s time for a walk, Kristoff perks right up, happily trotting along and taking in all the sights and smells with polite enthusiasm.

He’s super friendly with other dogs and brings an easygoing energy to every interaction. While we haven’t tested him with cats or kids yet, his mellow personality suggests he’d adapt well with the right introductions.

Kristoff is the kind of companion who fits seamlessly into a calm household and would be happiest with someone who values quiet walks, cozy evenings, and good company.

Ready to add a little peace and a lot of love to your life? Kristoff’s waiting patiently for his forever family. 💛
