Dio

I’m Dio, a one year old, male Cocker/Poodle mix.

My past is unknown, but I have very sweet qualities. A little “marking” as I’m not neutered, but that’s happening in a few days.

Not sure about kids, as I do a little resource guarding with food, and I don’t like my feet touched very much. Probably had a bad experience with nail cutting.

I came looking like a shaggy rug, so had to be shaved down. I’m not as cute, but you can now see my face.

If you’re looking for a doodle, I could be the one for you. Sophie’s getting to know me better so she can answer your questions.

Phoebe Too

My name is Phoebe Too, and I’m a sweet, affectionate, six-year-old female Husky who adores being around people.

I love to play and go on hikes, but I’m equally content to relax at home. I’m well-trained, calm, and perfectly fine being by myself – I don’t experience any anxiety or nervousness. While I am very friendly with all humans I meet, I do need a home without cats or small critters.

As a Husky, I have moderate energy and enjoy spending time both outdoors and curled up by your side.

My current owners are unable to keep me, but they want me to have the best possible life filled with all the attention and adventures I deserve. They are hoping to find a loving new family who will welcome me as a cherished member of their lives.

If you think we could be great companions, please submit an application!

Pirelli

I’m Pirelli, a 7 year old Chinese Crested dog, weighing 15 lbs. The vet says I’m a little chunky!

Also almost entirely naked with glamorous long hair and boots. 

I’m in good health, though I’ll need you to help me look after my skin and protect me from cold and sunburn. 

I’m a bit nervous with new dogs and people. Sometimes I even bark at them but I make friends within a minute, so all is good. I like spending time with my dog friends. I’ve lived with cats in the past, and ok with older kids.

Indoors I’m super-cuddly. I want to play and I want to be under your blanket with you. We can watch all your favourite movies together.  

I love going on walks, especially if I can take my time. My favourite game when I go outside is wandering around, lifting my leg and peeing on things. I don’t play that game when I’m inside though.

If you are looking for a cuddly, cool-looking friend, I may be the one!

Rambo Derman

I’m Rambo Derman, a stunning 2 year old extra large, male doberman. I’m good with dogs, lived with cats in the past and looking for the right home.

I’m eager to learn, especially if the reward is a ball. I’m looking for my 3rd home through no fault of mine. My first home left me behind when they left the county.

My second home adores me, but I don’t adore the kids. I’m very uncomfortable around them, every time they move I growl at them.

I’m not at all agressive, but I sure am impressive. My bark is loud, and my teeth are big.

I love the ball, I would do super well with agility. I’m active, young, affectionate and would love an active home.

Spooky the Yorkie

I’m Spooky the Yorkie. A wonderful senior Yorkshire Terrier. I’m a boy and 10 years old. I’m getting some medical procedures soon but I’m super healthy for my age.

I’m friendly, housetrained, quiet, good with everyone including kids.

If you think you could love me for the next few years, put in your application!

Bubba

I’m an old boy, looking for a compassionate adoption.

I was living in a home where I was severely neglected in the past few years, I arrived with horrendous eye and ear infections.

To make it worst, I’m completely blind and my hearing is not so great from the massive ear infections I had.  I do have dry eye syndrome, or KCS, so I need artificial tears to help as my eyes don’t produce them on their own .

My heart and lungs are great, I still have a lot of “joie de vivre”, so I’m looking for a compassionate home to take me in until the end. I still have a few good years in front of me, if you’re willing to give me the care I need.

Mylo Pit

I’m Mylo, a gorgeous 6 year old, male pitbull. I’m big and stocky, but a charmer. I am around 90lbs so for strong hands. I love being on your lap if you’ll let me !

I live with two cats, I’m great with dogs and have no bad habits. I’m only looking for a new home due to personal circumstances, not because of behavioral issues.

I can stay home alone, fully housetrained and even pretty good on walks. I’m not at all reactive, but like to pull so I can sniff everything.

I’m not yet neutered but will be included with adoption, it is NOT negotiable.

I really like kids too, but maybe a little bouncy for young ones. I understand French, English and Spanish! I’m a real smart boy.

If you think I’d be a dog for you, put in your application.

Scrappy

I’m Scrappy, an 8 month old dog! I’m a pure mutt, nobody can really say what breeds I’m mixed with.

I’m about 30 lbs, so not a big dog. I’m looking for a new home already as I’m part of the statistics of people getting rid of their dogs within two years.

I’m good with kids, a little nervous around dogs, but a quick learner.

I’d you think you’d like to make me a part of your family, you need to put an application in!

Buddy

I’m “Buddy”, a six year old Lab mix.  I was originally adopted on “free adoption for seniors” day at the SPCA back in January 2024.

Unfortunately my dad passed in August, and I ended up with my dad’s family. However, it’s just not the home form me. I was put on Prozac from the time I was first adopted, but it’s not doing much for me. I’m getting weaned off it slowly.

I am very much a “one person” dog, as I am super loyal and want to please.

Love getting attention, being petted, brushed, back scratches, and love relaxing and sleeping near you.

I’m sweet, attentive, know basic obedience, and am fully housetrained.

I love going for walks, playing in the snow, fetching, but I can get reactive if I meet dogs on leash.

Now for the anxious side of me:  I can be reactive on leash, I will get into the garbage if left alone, I will bark at people entering the house, but also at movement within the house.

You see, I’m now in a family of five, and it’s too much for me. I was put in a situation before the holidays where stress made me react and snap. Nothing major, but enough to realize I’m not in the right environment.

I’m good with other dogs in general, I Iive with a little fluffy dog now and we’re great.

Ideally I’m looking for a structured and quiet household so I can get over my anxiety and find my forever home.

Fiona

My name is Fiona. I’m a Giant Schnauzer and I’m a beautiful big girl at 80+ lbs (I could lose a few lbs).

I’m almost 8 and travelled from Mexico, but my family had a baby, and I’m really not a fan. Snarling, growling, barking… My humans are afraid I’ll eventually her her.

So here I am, looking for a mellow household for my retired years.

I’m great with other dogs, walk super well on leash, easy to groom and just a big, easy going girl!

If you think you’d like me to spend the rest of my life with you, put in your application.

Rex B

I’m Rex B, and here’s my story: I’m originally from the streets of Lebanon, and I was rescued and adopted in Canada during the “international adoption” phase that happened between 2020 and 2022.

Unfortunately, these good souls in Lebanon who made us come to this wonderful country, were not aware that the Quebec Statistics for “keeping” us in a home are less than 2 years.

So here I am, a “statistic” of La Belle Province, and I am looking for a new home. I arrived here in 2022 as a teen pup, and after being in a home for over a year, I was surrendered because I was always a little “growly” and I bit a 3 month old puppy. This pup came to be fostered, and I didn’t necessarily want to share. I already had a “brother” that I liked to dominate a bit. So when I bit her, my dad got mad and kicked my bed in anger. My mom then thought it was better to send me away immediately.

I’m super friendly, great in the house, get along with dogs but do have some resource guarding around my food.

I can be your best friend for life, if you’ll have me for the rest of my life, which I hope will be at least 10 years.

I don’t want to bounce all over Quebec, I want a permanent home. I’m a Shepherd mixed with dozens of other breeds, your fun will be to guess what mixes my descendants might have been.

Pawla

My name is Pawla, and I’m a street dog from Morocco.

I was rescued by a lady who used to feed stray cats, when she noticed me, a young puppy, coming around to get some food too.

It was obvious I had a bad leg, a break that healed on its own. So she took me off the streets and eventually arranged for me to come to Canada.

I’ve been here for a while but nobody really worked on my socialization so Sophie’s Dog Adoption took me in and I am learning to go on walks outside and explore this new country.

I am very shy, still skittish of a lot, so I’m looking for a very patient person or family to slowly bring me to being a “normal” and confident girl.

I’m still young (-2 years old)and don’t have a prey drive do could live with cats or other critter.

Dogs I’m totally fine with. Having a dog friend could maybe even help me learn to be “free” of my past.

DOGS FOR ADOPTION

The adoption process through Sophie’s Dog Adoptions consists of filling out an application form to adopt, a full screening is done to ensure that the dogs I place will in fact be going to good, forever homes. These dogs have been through a lot already, and don’t deserve to come back again and again. The right family / person is out there for each dog. The process can sometimes be longer than with other rescue groups or organizations, but an animal is for life and it should not be something to rush into. Once I am satisfied that the family/person meets the criteria to adopt one of my dogs, then the adoption is finalized with a contract. ADOPTING A PET IS NOT SOMETHING TO TAKE LIGHTLY, IT IS, IN MY OPINION, THE SAME AS ADOPTING A CHILD.
