Oliver B

My name is Oliver, and I’m just an amazing dog…

I love people (some say too much) as I just adore kisses! I can’t stop kissing unless you push me away. 

I’m as goofy and sweet as a dog can get. I will become your best friend.

I’m a 4 year old pointer mix who comes from Lebanon. I didn’t have it easy back home, but I’m looking for a happy future.

I’m amazing with people, my charm is what helped me get food back on the streets.

Now, I’m hoping for a home. A real home for life.

I’m great with dogs and get along with cats. I’m fully housetrained, walk great on leash and can stay alone. 

Ideally, if you have a fenced backyard and kids, or if you’re an active person, I could be the ideal companion.

Tweety

I’m Tweety, and I’m a girl despite my name!  Someone chose it for me.

You see, I’m a dog rescued as a puppy from the streets of Lebanon. The family brought me home, raised me, and decided to give me a new life here in Canada. I loved growing up here!

But their new life became too “busy” with me in it, and after several months, came to the conclusion I needed a new home to “flourish” in.

I’m under 2 years old and most likely a Collie mix. I get along generally well with other dogs, but I do have a bit of resource guarding around other dogs.

I am friendly, affectionate, well behaved though some things need a bit of work like learning to walk well on leash.

If you think you have what it takes to be my FOREVER home, not just for a couple of years, put in your application.

Daisy Duke

I’m Daisy Duke, a 7 year old daschund/chihuahua mix.

I’m sweet as can be, very quiet, live everyone and everything.

My old dad has gotten sick and could no longer care for me, do I was brought to Sophie’s Dog Adoption.

I’m a little chunky as I was used to eating table scraps but have been trimming down.

I’m healthy, love going for walks, quiet and housetrained. What more can you get? I’m the ideal companion for anyone.

If you think I could become your soulmate, put in an application!

Lil’Bean

Hello world, I’m a puppymill rescue who’s going on 6 months old (I’m born in February) and August 1st was my first outing.

I’m very friendly, shy, but young enough to learn quickly about my surroundings.

Obviously structure will be a must as  my foster home has been working very hard with me.

I am now “housetrained”. I had never gone for a walk on a leash, but have been  learning all this in my foster home.

Sophie has called me Lil’Bean, but you can pick a better name. She just thinks I look like a cute little bean. I sure am active and bouncy, so be prepared before you even apply.

I’m possibly a Beagle mix, but it’s unknown what the mix is. I should not get much than 30 lbs though. One document says I’m a Pug mix! 

Are you ready for an active puppy in your house? I’m going through the teething phase, so you’ll need lots of chew toys .

I’m being crated right now, and I would suggest you keep that up when you leave so I don’t develop separation anxiety. I don’t have “bad” habits yet, I just need to learn the right way.

Koukoune

I’m Koukoune, a 5-month-old toy poodle who was surrendered with a broken front paw.

I am going to the vet this week to see how I’ve healed! I’ll also be getting spayed and will be ready for a real home.

I’m super socialized, friendly and playful with all people and dogs (big and small). I’ve learned good manners while recuperating from my broken leg, and really understand dogs who “tell me to get lost”!

I’m teething right now, so need someone knowledgeable or willing to learn how to deal with that.

I’m adorable if you think I’m right for you, put in your application.

Beauty

Hi there! My name is Beauty. I’m a 10 year old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix in excellent health. Even my teeth are in great shape. 

I’m a very loving and sweet girl who loves everyone. I get along ok with dogs and cats but I have been known to be a bit of a bully if they’re in my space. I also don’t like seeing dogs on leash. I can be reactive.

I am a girl who was spoiled and could do as I please, so structure is a must especially if you have pets. I can be very manipulative with my cute face, so don’t give into me!

I’m obedient, playful, engaging and eager to please. I’m so friendly in fact that I could even be one one of those dogs who qualifies to visit people in the hospital to cheer them up.

All in all, I’m still young at heart and ready to give someone new all my love.

If you think I can charm your heart, put in your application by visiting http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

Nestlé

I am Nestlé, and the color of chocolate! I’m a 6 year old Yorkshire mix, and very sweet.

I haven’t had the best quality care, my teeth were in horrendous shape and my hair is very thin.  I now have a clean mouth (minus 9 teeth) and eating quality food. 

I’m very tiny, about 6 lbs, and very adaptable. I get along with other dogs, and I’m great with everyone.

If you think I’d be a girl for you, visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

Prince Chewy

Hello big world! I’ve been named Prince Chewy and I’m a 9-month-old Chihuahua.

Long story short, I was sold to someone online, but being very skittish and not good with the house cats, I was gone within a week.

I’m super affectionate, and get along with other Chihuahuas, but will need a bit of work on structure for house training.

I’m not barky and can stay home alone, BUT I need lots of chew toys! I have chewed the remote, and a couple of gadgets laying around, hence my original name of Chewy!

I could be good with kids if kids are good with me. 

If you think I could be your next best friend, put in your application.

Barney

Hello there hoomans! My name is Barney and I’m a 10 yr old Yorkie in excellent health. Even my teeth look good! I’m as sweet as I am cute and I’m a very good boy with other dogs and everyone I meet. As for cats, I would only be suitable to live with them if they are already used to dogs. I walk well on leash, I am not a barker inside nor do I bark at people or dogs I see outside but stray cats are another thing, I can stay home alone and I have absolutely no behavioural issues. I love car rides and playing with my squeaky toys. If you say the word TREAT, I’m all ears! 

I used to live in a very peaceful home with an elderly lady who adored me and took pristine care of me. My new home should be one where I will be able to live out my golden years in peace and comfort. I’m used to pipi pads but only need them at night or when you leave. I will ask for the door when you’re home like a big boy. Keep in mind us older dogs need to go potty several times a day. Sometimes, I just ask for the door because I love spending time in the yard and chase squirrels. LOL! I also come with a few adorable coats and sweaters. I love getting dressed up because I know when I look extra cute.

Gizmo 4

I’m Gizmo 4, and I’m a 3 year old Schnauzer mix of sorts.

My human mom recently passed away and my dad is going into a nursing home as he is unable to care for himself, nor me.

So I’m with Sophie’s Dog Adoption looking for a new home to call mine.

I’m a great little dog, good with my foster mom’s child, good with the other dogs and pretty much a loving  dog.

If you’d like to get to know me better, put in an application and you’ll get to know me before making a decision.

Alegria

I’ve been named Alegria, I’m a 9-month-old female Chihuahua pup (possible deer-head mix), and I’m looking for a home filled with structure and love.

I’m very energetic but loyal once I get to know you. I’m house-trained and will remind you when I’m due to go outside.

I really enjoy being rubbed behind the ears, giving you a smile, with closed eyes, full of satisfaction.

Outside strolls give me a lot to explore and smell, and I’m always ready to go.

I do get super excited when I see people and need to continue working on my manners. As for car rides, I have become a pro at being a backseat companion.

As with most chihuahuas, I can become attached to my human and will be very alert to anyone or anything coming near.

I’m slowly enjoying the security of my crate when it’s time to relax, but I do have separation anxiety, which my fosters have been working on. However, it’s a work in progress, so you will need to continue the work as I was very “spoiled” in my first home and have become needy for human companionship.

It is the hope of my foster mom that I touch and melt your heart the way I touched theirs. They will never forget me, that’s for sure!

Big Buddy

Big Buddy is my name, and English Bulldog/French Poodle is my mix of breeds. They dared sold me as a Boodle. Such an insult.

I’m 2 years old, and a wonderful buddy to the kids in my home, but unfortunately, I do not like them bringing their friends over. I have snapped and therefore am looking for a home with a different environment.

I basically need to learn not to “protect” my house, as I’m not keen on strangers of any age coming over.

I was purchased at 7 weeks because our mom rejected us and so we were all sold at that young age.

I’m a wonderful dog, super friendly and affectionate, not at all destructive, not a barker, and live my “kid” siblings, but Dad thinks I’m just not a good fit anymore.

I need to leave soon, so please consider fostering me with or without the possibility of adoption.

Hawaiian Chico

Aloha Canada! I’m Hawaiian Chico, and I just arrived from a shelter in Hawaii where I spent most of my life 

I’m about 3 years old, most likely a Catahoula mix, but Sophie thinks I may have some coonhound.

I’m super gentle, very shy still but doing well in my foster home, which consists of 4 humans, 4 dogs and one cat.

I would probably be fine with kids over 8, as I’m a very gentle soul.

I’m looking to finally have a home, with people who will love me forever. I’m used to getting love at the shelter, but from staff and volunteers who leave at the end of the day.

I want my own bed, my own family, my own “house” and maybe a yard. It’s the American Dream, and I think I can reach it in Canada. After all, we’re “neighbours”.

To apply, visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/ and follow the procedure to obtain an application form.

Jade

My name is Jade, and I’m a real gem. I’m less than two years old, and as per Quebec statistics, I’m already looking for my second home.

I’m a gorgeous girl, sweet, loving, good with dogs, great with kids, fine with cats and crate trained.

What more can you ask for? I’m super mellow but can get excited easily. So some “training” is needed, I also need to learn leash walking.

A boxer mix certainly, but with what? That’s anybody’s guess. I’m about 60 lbs, so not a tiny dog.

In presently in a foster home with two shepherd mixes, a scruffy terrier and two Chihuahuas and behave super well with all.

I would make a wonderful addition to an active family with kids, who wants to chill out with a sweet girl like me by the fireplace or on the couch watching TV.

Nitro

I’m Nitro, and I’m a 2-year-old survivor of the streets of Lebanon. 

I was shot in the front legs with pellet guns until I could no longer stand back in June 2021. Left for dead, I remained in the brutal heat for 10 days before I was rescued.

Not knowing if I could ever walk again, a team decided they would try different surgeries and rehabilitation to make me walk again.

After a year of surgeries, treatments, and rehabilitation, I can run and play like I should! I may not walk like others, but I am in no pain at all.

Having lived in a foster home back home, I got used to the “good” life. Couch, bed, love, food, and affection is what I’m looking for again!

You’ll have to learn how to integrate me, as I will want to protect you from “strangers” entering my new home!

Sophie’s Dog Adoption will help you get me started on the right (or left) foot!  

I am energetic, great with dogs, love the presence of humans and would be fine with gentle kids over 12.

If you think you want to be my new family member, fill in that application form! You will not be sorry you did once you meet me.

The ban that prevents any more dogs like me to have a chance at the Canadian Dream is unfair.  

Zola

Zola is my name, and 4 months is my age! Cane Corso mix? Maybe.

I was purchased by someone on Kijiji at 8 weeks. He had me a month, put me back on Kijiji.

A lady went and got me, she had me a month and realized as a single mom of a toddler, it was not easy to manage two babies! With 4 legs, I run faster than her toddler!!!

So now I’m with Sophie’s Dog Adoption to find my 3rd and final home. At this rate, I’ll have 12 homes in a year. Puppies are cute (and I’m adorable), but we’re a lot of work.

At 4 months, I’m a good puppy, but I’ll be teething soon. So furniture, shoes , remotes and wires, watch out!

If you are ready to take on the puppy challenge, and keep me my whole life, you know what to do.

Bosley

Well, what do you know! I’m only 11 weeks old and already looking for my second (and final) home.

My name is Bosley, I’m a beautiful Cocker, or mix, and as charming as can be.

I was purchased on a Saturday, and brought to Sophie’s Dog Adoption the following Tuesday! 3 days is how long I stayed with the person who “bought” me from a “breeder” on Kijiji.

I’m a puppy. So what can I tell you? I’m not housetrained, obviously. You’ll need to teach me that.

I use my teeth to play! I love slippers, wires, and carpets (pulling out the threads is fun!) so you need to work with me on teaching me right from wrong.

I’ll need lots of toys, and lots of stimuli, but most importantly you will need to have patience! I’m just a baby!

So there it is. I’m a puppy in rescue at only 11 weeks old. This is your chance to get a rescue dog that you’ll actually raise yourself!

But be prepared, I’m gonna be very popular. So put in your application fast if you want to have a chance at adopting me!

To do so, visit http://www.sophiesdogadoption.com/application-forms/adoption-form/

I will charm you while nibbling on your shoelaces!

Booch

Aloha Canada! I’m Booch and also from Hawaii. I’m a male and weigh about 50 lbs.

Bunny was my cellmate at the shelter, and when she hopped on a flight here, I was invited to come too! 

Some think we might be related, but that’s a guess. I’m also about 2 years old and our breed mix is also pure guess.

I am very friendly and love people! Whenever my foster mom sits on the couch, I cuddle up next to her.

I may be shy at first when meeting new people, but warm up quickly.

Besides being lovable I am super well-trained. I obtained a good citizen award in Hawaii! I do not pull on a leash other than when I see a squirrel, as those are unknown critters to us Hawaiians. I also know my basics, like sit and stay. 

I take direction very well. If I’m too close to the dinner table, or too close for comfort, I’m told to go away and I actually listen. 

I’m super quiet, I’ve only barked twice in a week, so would even be ok living in an apartment. Although I love going out, I’m very calm at home. I save my energy for outside.

I love walks and playing in the dog park. I’m a little unsure when dogs first come up, but after I get a sniff or two, I’m comfortable. I really like chasing them around the park!

I would do great with another dog, and kids too, however NO cats. 

It has been noticed that my back legs go inward, and I run on 3 legs instead of 4.  It looks like I had a leg injury that healed wrong, however, I walk totally fine. Even though I run on 3 legs, it doesn’t slow me down one bit!

Overall I am so lovable and have a wonderful, fun personality.  I’d love to be able to show a family I can be their best buddy! I am funny, love to cuddle, and definitely will see my human as my best friend.

I’ve waited my whole life (2 years) for a family. No more of the shelter life for me!

If I’m the pooch you’re looking for, go get the application and specify it’s for Booch!

Blind Rocky B

I was named Rocky by my original rescuer in Beirut. I’m about 4 years old, and like many before me, I have a sad story that led me to be a good candidate to send to Canada.

You see, I lived in the streets, where nice ladies would pet me, feed me, and walk with me at their place of work.

One day, one of the nice ladies didn’t see me, so she went looking. To her horror, she realized I had been shot in the face with pellet guns and left to die.

She hurriedly got me to a vet, where my vision was too damaged to be saved. There is no way she was going to leave me in Lebanon, so she found a way to send me here.

I am honestly THE NICEST dog. I love everyone, I’m super quiet and calm. I don’t pull at all on a leash (need some guidance so I don’t bump into things, like parked cars) Oddly for a shepherd-x, I barely lose any fur!

The only time I get really excited is when I hear my leash when it’s time for a walk. I do this high-pitch bark. I just LOVE going for walks.

I go to our local dog park and I get around just fine off-leash (it’s a large wooded walkable area with paths).

I’ve figured out the layout of the foster home and go up and down stairs easily. I just need guidance until I find my bearings.

I am good with dogs of all sizes, cats, and kids! I basically love life and everyone in it!

If you think I’m a good candidate for you, put in your application! You will not regret it.

Whistler and Jay

We are Whistler and Jay and have been siblings our whole lives.

We, unfortunately, lost our mom to cancer and are looking for a new home to take us to.

We are seniors, I’m a Mastiff and 15 years old, and my sister Jay is a 9-year-old lab mix.

We’re both healthy, but I’m losing muscle mass in my old age, so I’m getting skinny. But I’m still full of pep.

We both love people and kids, I can be selective with dogs, but that is primarily due to the fact Mom never had us sterilized.

My sister will definitely need to be spayed if we are kept together. As for me, I may be too old to take the risk.

If you are interested in possibly giving us that home, contact @Sophie Fournier to obtain an application form.
