Dogs Available for Adoption

Scooter - 1 Year Old, Male Pomeranian Mix

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:11:07 -0400

Scooter - Available in Nova Scotia.

Hi, my name is Scooter. I'm a pom-er-ain-ian...I think that's how you spell it! I was born on Valentines day, 2008. I don't know how much I weigh but my mom thinks I'm between 12-15 pounds. My foster mom was expecting a tyrant because my owner said I was cross...but I just didn't like it there. She says I'm such a good boy, and I give her as many kisses as she asks for. I'm still very afraid of sudden noises

and movements and I crouch down a lot...but my mom says I don't have to worry so much and she's teaching me that I can feel safe. I like to watch my mom's dogs play but I'm not sure how to join in yet...but I think I'll try soon. I have to eat in another room because I don't really like to share my food...but I'm learning how to share my toys and drop them when mom asks me to. I'm going to start learning some commands this week because I forget the ones I was taught before. I met two cats yesterday and some new people...they were actually kind of cool. I really liked the man...I'm not as nervous around other guys!

I love to go outside so I hope my forever home has a fenced yard...I already chewed off a couple tie out leashes here when my mom wasn't looking...she says I'm really fast and smart! I love to toss toys in

the air and catch them just like playing catch. I'm learning how to sleep in my crate...not my favorite place in the world but I feel safe there...I get to sleep with my foster sister when she is home and I

LOVE that. I smile almost all the time and at first glance...people think I'm growling at them, I look kinda vicious, but I'm not. I'm VERY submissive and sometimes dribble on the floor but we're working on my

confidence.

Well, I have to go for now...mom says I shouldn't have any trouble finding a new home...but that the new family have to have lots of patience and be willing to help me through my little fears and quirks.

Bugsy - 2 Year Old, Male Brussels Mix

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:10:55 -0400

Bugsy

I do not like to brag but I am a cute saggy golden haired fun guy. I am approximately a 13 lb Brussels Griffin/Terrier mix, slim and trim, always ready for fun and games. When the kitchen is open I am always there, boy do I every like to eat.

I learned very early where the toy box was, which is full of balls and fluffy things. My favorite game is tug of war with either Teddy or Buddy. They are my fur friends that live here with me. I have not decided yet which one I like the most. I play with them equally. I think I am approximately 2 years old. I was found in Scarborough and rescued by TinyPaws. Man have they ever treated me nice. They had me checked out at the Vets and even had me chipped in case I got lost again. I am presently looking for a new home. Someone who would treat me real nice and look after me. Other fur friends and kids in the home would be great. In return I would freely give lots of love and kisses. My Fosters tell me that I am a very cute loveable boy. Their grandson visited us the other day and I attacked him with a thousand kisses. He was laughing so much I think he peed himself. Boy do I ever like kids, they are a lot of fun. I treat everybody

the same lots of kisses when they let me sit on their lap when they are watching TV. My fosters parents lets me sleep where I like, I have tried their bed, but I prefer the very large fluffy pet bed that they have on the bedroom floor. I had a bath and a good brushing the other day , they told me that I was a very good boy.

I am well trained. They let me outside in the fenced in back yard. At first I put my scent in the house. Boy did I every get scolded for that. This I do not do anymore, I have learned my lesson.

I love going for walks, when I see the leash come out, I get very excited. Car rides are also one of the favorite things I like to do. I check out the countryside as we go. Very exciting.

So if you are looking for a fuzzy, fun loving loveable pet - Contact TinyPaws and I could be yours.

Lots of love, Bugsy.

Menneke - 12 Year Old, Male Yorkie

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:48:47 -0400

Menneke

Hello, my name is Menneke – pronounced “Men-ah-kee”. It’s Dutch for “Little Man”. Little I definitely am, I weigh only 5lbs. A man I definitely was – my career was that of a stud within a breeding program. Since joining Tiny Paws in March, I’ve retired at the age of 12 and don’t feel quite as manly as I used to, can’t put my finger on it, but something sure is different. I am originally from Alabama and am a purebred Yorkshire Terrier, I even have AKC papers to prove it.

Though I may be a bit thin, I have a very healthy appetite and never leave food in my dish, which is a talent in itself. You see, dental care was never big on my last family’s priority list, and so I have lost all my teeth. While some may laugh at me because I look funny with my tongue hanging out, I simply can’t help it. But you know what they say “don’t judge a book by its cover” and I’m no exception to that rule - I’m full of personality and will win your heart over in no time.

I am living in Toronto at the moment and now that I am comfortable with my foster family and their routine, I love to lay on the sofa with them and follow them around to see what they’re up to. I am house-trained and pee pad trained. At night and when no one is home, I sleep quietly in my own bed and use the pee pad when I need to. One of my favorite pastimes is to go for walks. I love to sniff and explore and meet people and dogs, though I don’t have much patience for puppies who want to play.

I am up to date on all my shots, micro chipped, neutered (which explains why I don’t feel so manly anymore!) and have no health problems. Won’t you consider adopting me so I can have a home in which

to enjoy my retirement?

A NOTE FROM MENNEKE’S FOSTER MOM:

Menneke is such a sweetheart, and so cute he really does steal your heart away. It took him a couple days to warm up to us. At first, we would go to him to pet him, now he comes to us and is becoming quite

the cuddle bug. I don’t know how he is around cats, but I suspect he wouldn’t bother with them if they were around. When company is over, he’ll say hello to everyone, soak up as much attention from each person as he can, and then cuddle up with his favorite visitor (the one who pets the most). He likes to nap after his meals and is very low maintenance but perks right up when he’s out on walks. He has days where he just wants to lay around and other days he’s full of energy and follows me around excitedly looking for as much attention as I’m willing to give. He makes almost no noise – he’s barked once since he’s been with us and even that was very quiet – so apartment living is just fine. He comes with his bed and all his bedding, grooming supplies, dishes, harness, collar and of course, his AKC papers.

Brandy - 7 Year Old, Female Silky Terrier

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 18:46:59 -0400

Brandy - Yorkie Silky Terrier

Hello, my name is Brandy and I am a diva. I am beautiful with my curly blond and black hair. Although it’s not nice to ask a lady her weight, I really don’t mind because I am a petite 10.8 lbs. Like all divas I have my list of demands. I must have fresh water every time I am thirsty. I will sit and stare at the kitchen sink. If the water is not forthcoming quickly enough I will bark for attention. I also demand a good game of fetch the ball. I have a toy chest full of toys but I only want to play with my ball. My foster mother thinks I am quite talented because I will toss the ball to her or roll it over the floor to her.

My 8^th birthday is coming up in June. That makes me a Gemini. I would love a new family for a birthday present. My other mommy was really sad to see me go but she has to go to the hospital. She’s really sick. We have been together since I was a puppy. She even kept my baby teeth and told me to give them to my new mommy.

Right now I live with my foster parents and 6 brothers, 4 canine and 2 feline. I ignore them as much as possible. Girls rule, boys drool! I would rather have my new mommy and daddy all to myself. Although I always slept on a bed in my other home, I don’t like being around the boys so don’t sleep with my foster parents. They gave me my very own apartment. My crate is my safe spot but I don’t like having the door closed.

I don’t think I would like any little humans. My foster mom says I can be a bit crotchety at times, especially if I’m moved when I’m asleep or I get my feet brushed. I REALLY hate having my feet brushed but my foster mom and I am working on that. She is also trying to pee pad train me. I have been trained to go to the bathroom IN the bathroom. I have done this all my life and would never pee on carpet so I’m a little resistant to the pee pads. My foster mom says I’m a smart girl though and I’ll catch on pretty soon.

I LOVE going for rides in the car and going for walks. I also love giving kisses and getting snuggles. I am up to date on all my shots, micro chipped and spayed. I do have a bit of an eye infection but am on antibiotics so that should clear up soon. I am really good about having my eyes cleaned and drops put in them.

I am a princess and need an alpha queen to guide me but if you would like a soft, sweet, funny diva in your life I’m your girl!

Woodstock - 18 Month Old, Male Jack Russell

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:02:34 -0400

Woodstock - Is being fostered in PEI and will be available in that province.

•Maybe available to the right Ontario Adopter, prefer East Coast placement.

Approx. 11/2 years old, 19 lb male, Jack Russell Terrier. Woodstock has had no prior training but quick to catch on if you show him what to do. He does know basic commands. He gets along with other small dogs, but not friendly to cats. He's a little nervous of new people he meets in the house or on walks but settles down quickly. He's very affectionate and loves to sit on your lap and snuggle, he has no food aggressions and is very, very gentle to take food from your hand. He enjoys walking and would be ideal for agility, flyball or other type of dog sport.

Woodstock is looking for his furever home with a family who has some experience with training and is willing to attend puppy classes to teach the rules and give him self confidence.

Debi - 8-10 Year Old, Female Shih Tzu

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 16:01:01 -0400

Debi - Adoption pending, please do not apply

Hi my name is Debi, I am not really sure of my age, maybe between 8-10 years young and weigh about 21 lbs. I am a Shih-tzu and I am looking for a forever home. I have had quite a hard time in my past life, living in place that was very very dirty, and I was only happy to be around my other siblings and friends that lived there too, we always had each other to rely on. We never went to a vet, so, we were in rough shape when Tiny Paws took us in. We had to have neuters and spays and fix all the infections that we were so full of from not being fixed up when we were young. Eyes and ears were infected and our friends at Brimley Lawrence Animal Clinic had to shave us right down to the skin in order to clean us up and fix everything.

Since I had a rough start, I do have some behaviour and trust issues which I am working on with my foster family. I love going for walks and car rides. I would do best in a house with another dog as a pal. Currently I am living with another dog, cats and birds and I am okay with everyone.

Once I have started to trust you, I love being patted and having my belly rubbed. I love to give kisses and meet you at the door with my tail going like crazy as I am so excited your home from work. I would prefer a home that does not have too many stairs as I have trouble getting down. I have a eye that has started with cataracts so my sight is wonky. I am about 99% house trained, it has been hard to learn all the rules that humans have, but I am happy to be healthy and loved, I just would really like my own family. I am spayed and up to date with all my vaccines and microchipped too.

Debi's Adoption Fee is $200.00.

Heidi & Harry - 10/9 Year Old, Dachshunds

Mon, 23 Feb 2009 01:14:07 -0500

Mother and Son: Heidi & Harry - To be adopter together.

Heidi

Hello, my name is Heidi and I am a 10 year old miniature short haired dachshund. I am a little shy initially but once I warm up to you we will be life long friends. I love giving and getting attention and will curl up in your lap or under the blankets right next to you for hours. I may be 10 years old (and a little grey around my muzzle) but that certainly doesn’t slow me down a whole bunch. My foster mom has a hard time telling me apart from her own baby girl as we look so much alike and seem to get into similar trouble. I enjoy going for walks but do need to wear a harness as I have a tendency to pull because I am so excited to explore and share with you all the wonderful things I have found. My foster mom keeps opening up a door and putting me outside (without my leash) and I’m not too sure what to make of this. My foster furfriends run out this door like it’s the best thing since belly rubs but I don’t understand their enthusiasm. I’ve never been outside before without being on my leash and going in the big box that moves up and down (my foster mom called this an elevator). I get along well with other dogs but have no experience with something called ‘cats’ (so I overheard my foster mom say… What’s a cat??) I’ve also discovered something called stairs. I wasn’t too sure what to think of these either but once I got the hang of them …. they’re kind of cool. You can go all kinds of places once you master stairs… who ever heard of a rec room before?!?! I will need patience and training when it comes to something called ‘housetraining’. I was left alone (and pregnant) so much as a puppy that I never mastered this very important skill. I will use papers and training pads but would like to figure out this preferred method of ‘toileting’ to be the perfect pet so that my next home will be my forever home and I won’t be given away… yet again.

I have been to the vet and am in very good health. I weigh 15 lbs and the vet is very impressed with my heart (no murmers). I have had some teeth removed due to a lack of dental care in the past but it certainly doesn’t slow me down when it comes to my rawhides! There is residual tartar which my new family would have to help me get rid of.

Harry

Hi there, my name is Harry and I am a 9 year old miniature long haired dachshund and Heidi’s son. I love people and will allow you to rub my belly as soon as I have given you the once over (should take about 7.4 seconds … be patient). I love long walks, tennis balls and rawhides (in no particular order) and will curl up beside you, on you or around you whether you request it or not. My foster mom says I do the sweetest little thing with my front paws that she finds adorable… I don’t know what she’s talking about, I’m only doing what I do best… being cute! Like my mom I’m getting used to this huge backyard my foster furfriends seem to love so much. I too will need time and patience for the housetraining process. I really do want to be as little work as possible so you will love me and keep me. I’m amazed about all the neat things that I have seen, smelled and heard. The big guy (a ‘husky’ I’m told) who lives next door will never come into my foster mom’s backyard as long as I am around… he knows better now ‘cause I told him!!! My hair and ears are pretty soft according to my foster mom because she pets me and plays with my ears endlessly while watching TV. I get along well with my foster friends but would really love to find my forever home soon so I can get on with the business of loving and being loved. As with my mom, I have no idea what a cat is but have no doubt it would love me too!

I have been to the vet he told my foster mom that he is very impressed with my overall health. I weigh 17 lbs and except for some tartar on my teeth I am in great shape. My new family will have to help me get rid of the tartar… I can’t do it by myself.

Foster mom here…

Heidi and Harry have been together for 9 years so it would be so very awesome if they could be adopted together. They will play independently of each other but one of them will invariably come in search of the other. They sleep together at night and truly do seem to dote on one another. Harry will come to his mom’s defense when my female starts thinking she can give Heidi what for… and vice versa. Please consider opening your heart and home to these two loving, adorable and deserving dogs. I assure you you won’t be disappointed.

Heidi & Harry's Adoption Fee together is $300.00.

Dozer - 14 Month Old, Male Chihuahua

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 18:52:44 -0500

Dozer

Is a loving, sweet, FUN little guy. He weighs about 4 lbs, and is about 14 months old. Dozer has been neutered and is up to date with his vaccines. His favorite things are, playing with other dogs, playfighting with people and especially children, he is not fearful of anything and just goes with the flow. Dozer only barks if someone knocks on the door and sometimes when we are playfighting, otherwise he's very well behaved and quiet most of the time. Dozer is a very affectionate little guy and just loves to sit on my lap while he gives me lots of kisses, he also likes to burrow under a nice warm blanket. Dozer is incontinent because of a neurological problem, therefore he must wear diapers, however he's a very small little guy, I've gotten him Huggies #1 diapers, cut a hold in the back for his tail (that has been docked) and he's off running around like a puppy, he's used to wearing them and will stand still while I change him, his neurological problem only affects his bladder and bowels. Dozer is used to being crated during the day and is obviously very comfortable with being in the crate as this is his favorite place to sleep, even with the crate door open. It's been an absolute pleasure and ALOT of fun having Dozer with me and fostering him, even with the neurological problem......his personality makes up for everything.

Moira Y. is a pet angel for Dozer.

Adoption fee is $275.00

Toddy - 7 Year Old, Male Cocker/Bichon/Shih Tzu

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 13:47:49 -0500

Toddy - is being fostered in Lacombe, Alberta. He is only available to adopters in Alberta.

7 yr old male Cocker / Bichon / Shih Tzu Mix.

Toddy had the very best owner. She made the very difficult decision to place him in rescue because of her health issues as she knew, due to her limitations, that his quality of life would be better with a new family.

Toddy is a very happy little dog that is easy to get along with.

His former owner got him at age 2 from the Humane Society. Up to that point he had not been well looked after. He was skinny, and had been left alone alot. Besides being underweight, he had two cherry eyes and was unneutered (which the humane society took care of).

Before she got sick, his former owner used to take him to the dog park daily where he loved to run and got along well with the other dogs. When not in a dog park, Toddy should be walked on a leash as he did take off after a rabbit once.

Toddy’s Foster Mom agrees that he is a sweet and happy dog. He is allowed up on the big chair and ottoman to sit with his humans where he likes to spend time curled up on their laps. As well, he is allowed up on the other big chair where he watches out the window at the comings and goings (he does bark when he sees something of interest out the window, such as other dogs, horses, people, etc.).

Toddy sleeps on his Foster Mom’s bed just like he used to at home. He is very quiet on the bed and stays put all night. He loves his morning rubs.

Toddy weights over 20 pounds and his vaccinations are up to date. He is house trained. He has some food allergies (eats vegetarian dog kibble plus carrots for a treat). He has the typical cocker spaniel ears which are prone to infections. As well once or twice a year he has very minor seizures which only last a few minutes. These are basically controlled by an inexpensive small tablet prescribed by his vet. He takes these willingly and in fact if you are late giving him his tablet (in a bit of a cheese slice) he comes to your side and grumbles/talks to you to tell you it is time. If you choose to ignore him, he will keep telling you in louder terms until he is barking that he wants something. When you go to the fridge to get his cheese, he gets so excited – he stands up on his back legs, puts his front paws together and flaps them up and down in anticipation (so very, very sweet).

Toddy gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home. He really is a wonderful and handsome dog who will make some family a great pet and companion.

Toddy's Adoption Fee is $275.00.
