MEET NACHO: THE AFFECTIONATE & CALM COMPANION 

Looking for a “smart cookie” who is as chill as she is sweet? Say hello to Nacho, a 1.5-year-old Northern Mix who is ready to bring some calm and love into her forever home! 

Nacho is the ultimate “good girl.” She is a medium-energy soul who loves her daily walks, but is just as happy patrolling the backyard or keeping a watchful, quiet eye on the street from her favorite window. 

Why you’ll love Nacho:
Cat & Bird Approved: She currently lives harmoniously with two cats and even a cockatiel! While she occasionally thinks a game of chase might be fun, she is respectful and gentle. 

House Training Pro: Nacho is fully house-trained and has never had an accident! She’s so smart that she’ll even sit by the door to let you know she needs to go out. 

Perfect Walking Partner: She walks beautifully on a leash, only pausing for some “important” sniffs (unless a rabbit crosses her path—then she gets a little excited!). 

Snuggle Bug: Whether it’s on the bed or right beside it, Nacho just wants to be near you. She is incredibly affectionate and loving.

What she’s working on:
Nacho is a bright girl who learns new things quickly, but she can be a little sensitive to the world around her. She gets nervous with loud cars, buses, or when people approach her from behind. She would thrive in a home that understands she needs a little extra reassurance in new surroundings. 

Nacho is a quiet soul—she rarely barks, offering only a “soft woof” to let you know a friend is passing by. If you’re looking for a loyal, intelligent, and gentle addition to your family, Nacho is waiting for you!

Meet Ayla: The Silky-Soft Sweetheart! 

Are you looking for a “shadow” to follow you through life? Meet Ayla, a 2-year-old soulful beauty who is ready to find her forever family!
Ayla is the definition of “gentle.” With fur as soft as silk and a heart full of love, she is the ultimate companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. 

Why we love Ayla:
Low to Medium Energy: She’s the perfect balance! She loves a good game of fetch or “zoomies” in the fresh snow, but she’s just as happy to “Netflix and chill” by your side afterward. 

Master of Manners: This smart girl is house-trained, crate-trained, and already knows “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and “shake paw!” 

The Best Co-Pilot: Love road trips? So does Ayla! She is a fantastic car passenger and always ready for a ride. 

Gentle Soul: She gives the softest, most gentle kisses you’ll ever receive. 

Ayla’s Perfect Match:
Homebody Vibes: Ayla isn’t a huge fan of long walks. She would thrive in a home with a large fenced yard where she can run and play at her own pace. 

Only-Pet Royalty: Ayla prefers to be your one-and-only four-legged friend (no other dogs or cats, please!). She wants all your love to herself! 

Kid-Friendly: She is great with children! 

Patience is Key: She can be a little shy with new people at first, but once she trusts you, she’ll be your devoted shadow.
Ayla is currently in foster care in Gatineau, QC, and is dreaming of a family to call her own. If you’re looking for a calm, quiet, and incredibly loving girl to complete your home, Ayla is waiting for you!

MEET GIGI: THE KIND, PLAYFUL & LOYAL SOUL 

Are you looking for a devoted companion who is the perfect mix of “zoomies” and “naps”? Meet Gigi, a stunning 2-year-old Shepherd mix who is ready to find a family to call her own! 

Gigi is a total sweetheart who has mastered the art of indoor living. Whether she’s chasing her own tail (it’s her specialty!) or showing off her adorable “happy snort” while getting belly rubs, she is guaranteed to keep you smiling. 

Why you’ll love Gigi:
Perfect Houseguest: She is both house-trained and crate-trained. She knows her basic commands and is highly food-motivated, making her a dream to continue training with! 

Kid & Dog Friendly: Gigi is great with other dogs and is wonderful with children. She’s a “kind soul” through and through. 

Expert Snoozer: While she loves a good play session with her stuffy toys or a nice bone to chew on, she is equally happy to snooze the afternoon away on her dog bed. 

What she’s working on:
Gigi is a rockstar indoors, but the great outdoors still feels a bit like a big mission to her! She is currently working on feeling safe and relaxed on walks. She tends to be on “high alert” for squirrels and bunnies, and she’s looking for a patient leader who can help her realize that outside time can be just as fun as playtime inside. 

Gigi is a loyal friend who just wants to be loved. If you have a soft spot for head rubs and a dog who will be your shadow, Gigi is waiting to meet you!

Bruno is such a powerhouse of joy! He sounds like the ultimate companion for an active family who loves a big, goofy snuggler. Here is an engaging Facebook bio to help find him his forever home.

 MEET BRUNO: THE HAPPY, LOYAL & ENERGETIC BEST FRIEND 

Are you looking for a “happy-go-lucky” guy who will keep you active and warm your heart? Meet Bruno, a 1.5-year-old Cane Corso mix who is a true social butterfly! 

Bruno is a big, sweet soul who doesn’t have a mean bone in his body. He is a high-energy boy who lives for his ball, his toys, and long walks. When the day is done, he is a professional snuggler who wants nothing more than to cuddle up in bed with his humans. 

Why you’ll love Bruno:
Friendly with Everyone: Bruno loves every person, dog, and cat he meets! He is a genuine “friend to all.” 

Master of Manners: He is already house-trained and crate-trained, and he knows his basic commands.

Built-in Alarm System: Bruno takes his “guard dog” duties seriously by letting you know when people are outside, but he settles immediately when told. Once a visitor is inside, he’s all wiggles and friendship! 

What he’s working on:
Bruno is a vibrant young dog with a lot of love to give—sometimes a little too much! He can be a bit overwhelming for other dogs and cats because of his “hyper” enthusiasm and desire to play chase. He is looking for a family with breed experience who can provide consistent training and plenty of physical outlets. 

If you’re looking for a devoted, athletic companion who will be your shadow and your protector, Bruno is your guy! He needs a home where the ball is thrown daily and the snuggles are endless.
