🐾✨ Alumni Lexie ✨🐾

Lexie was adopted two years ago this fall and has been seeing the sights on all sorts of adventures. Talk about the good life. Let's hear an update from her forever family:

"Lexie's been great, the perfect addition to the family. She's such a smart girl that training has been a breeze. Summer meant more breweries and crowded trails so she's gotten lots of practice being calm in busy spaces and has come a long way. She's the perfect little adventure buddy and got to experience her first cottage a few weeks back... You can see she's settled into her new modeling career well (she's paid handsomely in treats)."

🩵🩵ADOPTION PENDING 🩵🩵

ZENO / 1yr 8mths / MALE / MIXED BREED / WEIGHT 20lbs (9kgs) / Rescued from Barbados / Currently fostered in Toronto

Good with dogs/cats/kids
House and crate trained

Meet Zeno, a professional sleeper, part‑time snuggler, and full‑time emotional support shadow who has decided that personal space is a myth invented by humans. If you move from the couch to the kitchen, he will follow. If you move from the kitchen to the bedroom, he will follow. If you sneeze, he will check on you like you’ve been shot. Loyalty is his brand.

In the mornings, Zeno greets his foster with the enthusiasm of someone who hasn’t seen them in twelve years. His tail does a happy wag, he gives soft little kisses, and he acts like he acts like he won the lottery just because you woke up!

Zeno starts off shy with new people — especially men — but once he decides you’re trustworthy, he becomes your biggest fan. He’ll stare at you lovingly, nap beside you like a Victorian fainting prince, and follow you around with the dedication of a personal assistant who takes his job way too seriously.

He’s a low‑energy guy who believes strongly in the power of rest. His daily schedule consists of: nap, walk, nap, sniff things outside, nap, stare at you adoringly, nap, and then one final nap to wrap up the day. He enjoys two calm walks and handles downtown Toronto like a champ, though loud noises sometimes make him reconsider all his life choices.

What makes Zeno truly special is how deeply he bonds once he feels safe. He is the kind of dog who will look at you like you hung the moon, the stars, and possibly invented cheese. He just needs a patient adopter who understands that trust takes a little time — but once he warms up, he becomes the sweetest, most loyal, most cuddle‑obsessed companion you could ever hope for.

If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate, slightly dramatic shadow who will love you with his whole heart and follow you everywhere, Zeno is your guy. Apply to meet Zeno at: www.caninehaven.org/dog-application

Neutered / Microchipped / Vaccinations up to date

🐾✨ Alumni Chloe ✨🐾

Sweet Chloe found her forever home nine months ago and has been thriving for her furever family. Lets get an update:

"Has it only been 6 months? Because it feels like Chloe has been part of our family for much longer ❤️  She’s such a loveable girl, always happy to be by her humans and get extra pets and snuggles. She’s a great walking buddy and enjoys all her adventures in the bush with us. we also celebrated her 8th birthday in December! We’ve learned her favourite foods are popcorn and chicken… we don’t feed her them of course but wow when they’re in the house she is right by your feet hoping for a little taste! It’s been an incredibly smooth transition for us and she’s adapted so well. Thanks for bringing her into our lives! "
