URGENT: Charlie Needs a Rescue or Foster Before Shelter Life Breaks His Spirit

Meet Charlie, an 8½-year-old Rottweiler mix with a big heart packed into a compact 50-pound frame.

Charlie is not thriving in the shelter environment. The constant noise, activity, and lack of one-on-one attention have left him stressed, depressed, and slowly wasting away. He eats very little, struggles to rest, and spends his days looking sad and withdrawn in his kennel. What Charlie needs most is a quiet place where he can finally relax and feel safe again.

While shelter life is overwhelming for him, those who know Charlie see the wonderful dog hidden beneath the anxiety. He is house-trained, crate-trained, obedient, and incredibly affectionate with people. Charlie forms strong bonds with his humans and loves being close to them. A calm home with a predictable routine is where he truly shines.

One of Charlie’s favorite things in the world is playing fetch. Give him a ball and a fenced yard, and he’ll happily entertain himself for hours. He still has plenty of life and joy left in him and loves having an outlet for his energy.

Because he’s a nervous dog, Charlie can be vocal when he encounters other animals on walks. He has successfully used a Gentle Leader headcollar, which helps him stay calm and focused. His reactions come from anxiety rather than aggression, and with patient guidance, he is a wonderful companion.

Charlie could live with a dog-savvy cat that is comfortable setting boundaries. He has adapted well to cats in the past. Due to being neutered later in life, he cannot live with male dogs but may do well with a very calm, gentle female dog, particularly a smaller breed. That said, Charlie’s ideal home would likely be one where he can soak up all the attention from his favorite people and perhaps share it with a feline friend.

At 8½ years old, Charlie deserves comfort, security, and love—not the stress of shelter life. He is running out of time to find the quiet home or rescue placement he desperately needs. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will reward your patience with endless affection, Charli is waiting for you.

If you or anyone you know can help, please head over to our website www.furkidsrescue.ca and fill in our online application. Please share Charlie’s story and help him find the safe landing spot he so urgently deserves.

Meet Halle
Halle is a beautiful 1 year old Rottweiler mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. This affectionate, playful girl loves being close to her people and firmly believes she’s a lap dog, despite her size! Whether she’s snuggling on the couch, exploring the dog park, or playing with her favorite humans, Halle approaches life with enthusiasm and joy.
Halle is up to date on her vaccinations, house trained, crate trained, and knows several basic commands including sit, stay, come, and drop it. She’s an intelligent young dog who is eager to learn and would benefit from continued training and structure as she matures.
Like many young dogs, Halle plays hard and can be a little exuberant. She sometimes jumps up when excited, pulls on leash when overstimulated, and can become vocal when separated from her people. She is also a chewer when bored or under stimulated, so she’ll do best with an active family committed to providing regular exercise, enrichment, and guidance.
Halle is friendly and loving with her family and trusted friends but can be shy around strangers, especially men. She is most comfortable with women, children, and teenagers, though with patience and proper introductions she does warm up to men over time.
Her ideal home would have a fenced yard and an active family that can keep up with her energy level. She would thrive as the only dog in the home, but may also do well with a calm, well trained male dog who can help model good behavior. Because of her size, strength, and breed mix, we’d love to see her with a Rottweiler-savvy family and older, respectful children or teens.
Halle is still growing into the amazing dog she’s meant to be. She doesn’t need a perfect family just one willing to invest time, patience, and love into helping her become her best self. In return, you’ll gain a loyal, affectionate companion who will keep you laughing, cuddling, and feeling loved every single day.
We encourage all interested adopters to apply, even if you don’t perfectly match every item on Halle’s wish list. The right home is one that sees her potential and is ready to help her shine.
If you or anyone you know is interested, please head over to our website www.furkidsrescue.ca and fill in our online application.

Moose is a handsome 6 year old old German Shorthaired Pointer/Husky mix looking for his forever family!
This affectionate, social boy loves people and enjoys spending time with family, friends, and visitors alike. Moose is a talkative guy who isn’t shy about sharing his thoughts and loves being included in daily life. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a car ride adventure, or cuddling, Moose is happiest when he’s with his people.
Moose is moderately active and would enjoy an active family that can provide regular walks and opportunities to stretch his legs. He is used to having access to a fenced yard where he can run and play at his leisure, though we would consider homes without a fenced yard if they can meet his exercise needs.
He gets along well with most dogs and cats and has been around respectful young children without any issues. If he needs a break, Moose is great at taking space for himself and relaxing quietly.
Moose is house trained, crate trained, and knows several basic commands including sit, stay, down, and come. While he can get excited during walks, he redirects easily and isn’t a strong puller on leash. He’s also an excellent passenger in the car, making him a wonderful companion for adventures near and far.
Like many dogs, Moose is afraid of thunderstorms and fireworks, so he’ll appreciate a family that can help him feel safe during noisy events. He also has a high prey drive and may occasionally indulge in a little digging, so appropriate supervision and enrichment are important.
Some of Moose’s favorite things include:
• Playing with balls and stuffed toys
• Chewing on bones and treats
• Going for walks
• Running and exploring
• Cuddling with his favorite people
Moose is neutered, up to date on his vaccinations and ready to find a family to call his own.
While a fenced yard is preferred, we encourage all interested applicants to apply even if your home doesn’t check every box. The perfect match isn’t always what it looks like on paper, and Moose may just be the companion you’ve been searching for.

Meet Alphonso
Alphonso is a playful, affectionate 4-year-old boy who’s looking for his forever home. At 29kg, this gentle giant is a true lap dog who loves nothing more than lying outside with his human friend, soaking up belly rubs and enjoying deep-tissue massages.
Alphonso has a big personality and an even bigger heart. He gets along well with other dogs under supervision and enjoys a good “wrestle” session, but he can be easily excitable and loves to greet people with enthusiastic jumping hugs so training and patience will help him learn calmer greetings. Once he’s settled, he’s the perfect companion, sitting loyally by your side and waiting for treats and cuddles.
Alphonso has had a full health check and is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines (DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies), been given dewormer, and protected with Bravecto. He’s also had a dental cleaning to keep his smile bright!
This sweet boy is ready to find a loving home where he can be the adored companion he was born to be. If you have space in your heart (and on your lap) for Alphonso, you’ll gain a loyal friend and endless tail wags.
If you or anyone you know is interested in Alphonso, please head over to our website www.furkidsrescue.ca and fill in our online application

Look at that face ?!?! Cute as a Button

Button is a 3 year old bully. He is a sweet boy who enjoys eating, and going for walks. He does have some stranger danger but once he trusts you, he will love you forever. He does need some training as he pulls on walks and can be a bit pushy at times. He would do better in a home without kids or cats. Dogs - he is definitely interested in them but the shelter is su h a stressful environment it’s difficult to judge
If you are interested in helping this cutie, please let us know. You can complete an app to foster or adopt at www.Furkidsrescue.ca

Help us, Help Barney !!

Barney is a 2 year old, neutered, American Bulldog mix. He can be a bit nervous with new people, but once he knows you, he will show you his wild side. He loves playing with a ball, or his dog friends. A home with similar breed experience is ideal. He will need someone that is up for going to training to nip some of his bad habits like leashing biting. Barney’s new family should not have cats or young children. A house with a fenced in yard would be best for him. They need to be patient and ready to put in some effort.
***Speacial needs- DEAF***
He has good days and bad days when he is on a leash. He likes to tug on the leash but can be very hard to snap out of it if you don’t use the slip lead to correct him. When not on walks he is a very sweet boy.
If you have it in your heart to adopt or foster Barney. Please let us know !! You can complete an application at www.furkidsrescue.ca

Meet Storm – Your New Playful Companion!
Storm is a 4 year old Bully Mix with a heart full of love and energy! Unfortunately, her current family is no longer able to care for her, and she’s searching for a new home where she can thrive and share her playful nature.
She’s active, loves to play, and is always ready to show affection with her favorite humans (she’s a big fan of giving kisses!). Storm is well-trained, knows commands like “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “drop it,” and she’s both house-trained and crate-trained. While she enjoys attention and affection, she’s not a fan of being picked up.
She’s good with teenagers, adults, and seniors and has been great with cats in her previous home. Storm can play a little rough with large dogs but is untested with small dogs. We’re unsure how she’d interact with young children, but she’s always been a friendly girl with her human companions!
Storm is not spayed and isn’t up to date on vaccinations yet, but we’re committed to getting her fully prepared for adoption. If you’re looking for an energetic, loving, and loyal companion, Storm could be the one for you! Please head over to our website www.furkidsrescue.ca and fill in our online application

Meet Bruno – A Loyal and Loving Companion!
Bruno is a 3 year old male Miniature Australian Shepherd who is searching for a new home where he can thrive and be the center of attention. Unfortunately, Bruno has become anxious and reactive toward the other dog in his current home, which has led to conflicts and an unpleasant environment for both dogs and their family.
Bruno is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and currently receiving treatment for his anxiety with Reconcile. He is moderately active, playful, and affectionate, and he’s friendly with strangers and family/friends. Bruno is also talkative and enjoys socializing, but due to his anxiety, he has developed some fearful behaviors and occasional aggression. He has shown aversion to children and people wearing hats, so an adult-only household without children is a must. Bruno needs to be the only pet in the home no cats or other dogs so he can enjoy the attention he craves and feel comfortable.
Bruno understands basic commands such as “sit,” “stay,” “come,” and “down.” He may pull on the leash occasionally but is easily corrected. He’s used to running freely in a fully fenced backyard, so a home with a similar setup would be ideal for him to get the exercise he loves.
If you’re an experienced dog owner looking for a loyal, loving companion who just needs the right environment to thrive, Bruno might be the perfect fit for your home. Please head over to our website www.furkidsrescue.ca and fill in our online application.

Update: Miracles do happen - we have a foster and a potential adoptive home already. For those that submitted an application, thank you - we will reach out if the home is not a fit. Thank you all !!

Urgent. We have 3 days to try and find a home for Loyal as her owner is leaving the country and cannot take her.

This is Loyal. A 25 month old female Rottweiler that is the perfect mix of playful and affectionate. She’s a big softie at heart, a true lap dog who loves to cuddle and be close to her people (yes, even while sleeping).
She’s a happy, social girl who enjoys playing with other dogs, though her play style can be a bit rough. She has spent some time with children and did well, but would be best suited for a home with older kids. She has not been tested with cats, so a cat free home is recommended.
She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, house trained, crate trained (though she hasn’t used one recently), and knows her commands such as sit, stay, down, come, heel, and drop it. Like many young dogs, she can pull on leash when excited and will benefit from continued structure and guidance.
She does have a few sensitivities such as bikes, loud trucks, garbage bags can make her uneasy and chicken doesn’t agree with her stomach.
Ideal Home
A large breed savvy home with a fenced yard, no cats, and older children.
If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side and keep you smiling every day, she could be your perfect match. Please head over to our website www.furkidsrescue.ca and fill in our online application
