Annie 2 Years old Spayed Female Sweet Survivor Mix! Like the comic strip character, Little Orphan Annie, ARF’s Annie has made her way in the world with persistence, hard work and a cheery disposition. Annie is looking for her forever home, one that will provide her with the love, attention and respect that this girl longs for. At a young age Annie was a homeless mother who supported her 3 puppies by foraging for food and seeking shelter wherever she could. She loved and adored her babies and welcomed the ARF volunteers with a happy grin when Mom and pups were rescued and given a chance at a happier life. Annie is a gentle, patient girl with her foster family – especially with the children whom she adores. She is challenged with the company of other dogs but is slowly responding through positive training that she does not have to worry about what another dog might do to her or take from her. She loves people, of all ages, and mostly just wants to hang out. Annie enjoys time outside; she can often be found staring down a squirrel, searching for chipmunks or sniffing out rabbits. Annie spends her days playing ball, running errands with her foster family, hanging out in the backyard or lying at their feet in the evening. Her favourite activities are: 2 good walks a day and water play with the backyard garden hose and the children. Annie is fully vaccinated, spayed, micro-chipped and heartworm treated. She is now ready to fill a home with unlimited canine joy that only a special girl like her can do. To apply to meet Annie please click the ADOPT ME icon beside her photo!
Balou 2 Months old Male ADOPTED!!
Brie 3 Months old Female Spunky Soul Mix! Hi my name is Brie and I am going to tell you a little bit about myself. I am a strong and vibrant puppy. I am full of confidence and a take charge kind of girl. I will confront any situation as long as I can retreat to the protection of my foster mom’s legs. I am looking for a forever home that will take the time to see my temperament as a sign of a potential leader and to help guide me to my true self worth. I love everything around me as it is all new. I love to play with my many other canine friends big and small. I am happiest when I can go outside to play as here I am a free spirit. I am learning that cats are not like me and don’t play the same games. I am crate trained through the night until new life starts the following day where I eagerly race out the door to welcome it. There I am rewarded with a treat to reinforce positive training. We are also working on house training with treats too. I am not too keen on car rides yet but I am getting better. My leash walking is coming along very well and I like to stop, sniff and explore. As independent as I am, I truly love attention, belly rubs, and some quality cuddle time. I come with a full puppy check, vaccines, micro-chipped, de-wormed, and with flea prevention all rolled up in the cutest package.

Browser 4 Months old Male Friendly Gentle Giant! Hi my name is Browser and I am anxiously waiting to meet my forever family that I can share my unconditional love with. I am a very happy go lucky puppy that loves to cuddle. I love belly rubs and playtime. I like to snuggle up to my foster family’s 3 year old grandson, because he is my best friend. I have adapted very well to a very busy household. I have 3 large canine and 2 puppy friends plus numerous cats that I don’t bother with. They are the boss and I understand that. One of my favourite games is to run after my big canines that are too fast for me, so they tag me on their way back. I also roughhouse with my other little buddies but they let me know when enough is enough. My foster Mom thinks I am going through a growth spurt as I am all legs! I cause giggles when I run or wrestle because it often ends with me toppling over. I have mastered the crate and sleep in it all night until the first person or puppy wakes up. I am working on my training and car rides. I love leash walks, as it gives me one on one time with my foster mom. Everyone marvels at how majestic I am not only in size but in personality. I am up to date with my vaccines, micro chipped, de-wormed, and I have received treatment of Revolution.

Grizzly 3 Months old Male Adorable ARFBear Mix! Hi, my name is Grizzly and I am very excited to meet you. I am a three month old mix looking for an active and loving forever family that I can call my own. I am affectionate, gentle, and a very well adjusted puppy. I am currently living with my two buddies, the resident cat and dog, that I am very fond of. I can be a bit overly enthusiastic when interacting with the cat, but I back right off when he lets me know what the limits are. I am happy to share my toys, food and treats with anyone and am not possessive of anything. I like to play in the water and splash around. I am learning to walk well on a leash but am sometimes startled by loud trucks or motorcycles. I am house trained and use a crate when my mum goes out. I sit when asked to, especially when treats are involved and am anxious to learn new tricks. I travel well in the car and go on outings frequently with my foster mum. I have been socialized with children in the neighborhood and have an amazing temperament. My foster mum feels I have a wonderful disposition and am very well behaved. I still engage is some puppy behaviours, but am easily redirected and eager to please. I am micro chipped, have received my first vaccinations, plus de-wormer and Revolution treatments. If you have the time to commit to me, will love me and keep me safe and are looking for a loyal companion who will offer unconditional love, click on the ADOPT ME icon beside my photo to apply to meet me.
Hope 4 Years old Spayed Female Cuddly Companion Mix! Hope is a healthy, happy girl who loves nothing more than chasing a ball and cuddling close. In fact, she eagerly runs after any balls and sometimes even brings them back! She willingly amuses herself by tossing a ball over and over again, rolling it about, and throwing it up in the air to catch it. Hope's foster mother considers her an excellent house guest. She is well mannered indoors - no chewing, no accidents - and does not require a crate. Hope's experience with people in the past has often been less than positive, but with time and encouragement she is willing to trust and to forgive. Forgetting will not be easy for this little snuggler, and a patient, gentle home is a must. Wanting nothing more than to share her affection, Hope will be well-placed with a single person or couple who are looking for a devoted companion and fun-loving friend. Hope loves her leash walks, and is slowly learning to curb her enthusiasm on-leash. This tenacious traveller - who comes to ARF all the way from James Bay - has raised litters of puppies on her own and managed to survive in the harshest of conditions and climates. Hope learned quickly to fend for herself, and has a very strong prey drive as a result. She will do best in a home where she is doted upon as the only pet, or enjoys the companionship of a larger canine. Hope is quite attached to her canine foster sister and the pair are seldom far from one another. If you would like to offer Hope a forever home - and are willing to work with her to teach her that people are kind, gentle and loving - your efforts will be rewarded many times over. Hope is a devoted companion, and is eager to be your cuddly canine forever friend. Hope is spayed, up to date with vaccinations, micro-chipped, and has received treatments of Revolution.

Jaba 18 Months old Neutered Male Playful Spirit Mix! I think Jaba is one of the most easy going dogs I have met. He is eager to please and just loves to be close to you. Jaba and the resident large dog, Ava, love each other and enjoy lots of playtime together! They can be found lying one on top of the other, on the nearest couch, when they are too tired to play anymore. We go on many walks to the conservation area where his recall is great, he always comes back when he is called although he may finish chasing a squirrel up a tree first! Jaba is always very friendly with all the dogs we meet. I am not sure if he was a swimmer before he met us, but now he loves the water and will swim after sticks or pine cones. The one thing we found we cannot do with Jaba in the yard is cut the grass as he will bite at the wheels of the lawn mower! Jaba adores children and we would hope for an adopter with their own kids or some that visit often. Jaba is fully vaccinated, neutered and micro-chipped.

Keesha 2 Years old Spayed Female Spectacularly Impressive Mix! Hi, my name is Keesha and I am anxious to meet you. I am looking for an active forever family that I can call my own. I am loving, gentle, and a very well adjusted dog. I am currently living with my two resident canine buddies who are my best friends and we play all day long. I also share my home with four cats that intrigue me but they certainly let me know what my limits are. I have a large foster family which includes a three year old playmate. I am very gentle with him and let him hug me and play with me. I love to play chase, tug of war, but my favourite game is wrestling. I also like to play in the water and splash around. My foster mom feels I have a wonderful disposition and am very well behaved. I am fully house-trained and have never chewed or destroyed anything that was not mine. My canine buddies keep me very busy and happy. I am seeking a canine friend in my forever family’s life who enjoys a good game of wrestling or tag. That would make my life complete! I am fully vaccinated, spayed, micro-chipped, de-wormed, and heartworm negative.

Lux 2 Years old Neutered Male Gorgeous Brown Eyed Mix! Brought here from a small community near James Bay, Lux found life here very different from what he was used to. With lots of love, a full belly and a cozy place to sleep everynight, he learned that life was pretty good and his happy personality began to shine through. Once he is comfortable with his people and surroundings, he is very affectionate and wants to be by your side at all times. Lux currently lives with multiple canines and is very playful. Sometimes, when they are playing the chase game, he runs and turns so fast, he tumbles head over heels, but that does not deter him and he continues on. Lux is a very goofy guy! Lux travels well in the car, and goes with his foster mom to a busy retail establishment. Initially he was not so sure about lots of people coming and going. Once they all began giving him treats, he decided it wasn't so bad. Adjusting to new people and places sometimes takes a little longer for Lux but he is willing to try if you have a little patience. Lux is currently learning basic manners and with lots of yummy treats he is loving his training sessions. He is house-trained but is best suited to a home where crating is not required. Lux is neutered, and all shots are up to date. If you are interested in this super sweet guy, click on the "adopt me" icon by his photo!

Royce 1 Years old Neutered Male All Canadian Cute Fella Mix! Hey everyone, my name is Mr. Royce Tortellini! Now that I’m happy and healthy in loving ARF foster care I’ve discovered my second puppyhood. I am a love bug and I thrive on love and praise. It’s anyone’s guess what my breed mix is…some say shepherd some say collie...I say 100% awesome MUTT! I live in a home with multiple dogs and cats. I admit I like to try to play with the cats too much sometimes & they don’t always appreciate it! Turns out the dogs at the off-leash parks are more fun than the cats anyways. I have great recall so my foster family loves taking me for runs in the park! I’m crate trained too. I stay in my crate during the day while my foster parents are at work. What else can I tell you about myself? Oh yeah, I need to be on a wheat-free diet (that includes treats) to make sure that my skin doesn’t get irritated, I have been neutered (and suddenly my brain works better!), given Revolution, micro-chipped and dewormed. If you’re interested in meeting me, please click the ADOPT ME icon beside my photo!
Starky 2 Months old Male Cuddle Bug Mix! Starky is one of the Beatles puppies. He is very affectionate and loves to sit in your lap. He is a mellow guy who enjoys playing with the resident dog. If he has had enough he will crawl under a chair and rest. Starky still engages in some puppy behaviours like nipping and chewing. He is learning to accept a chew toy when this behaviour starts and seems happy to chew away on it. Starky currently lives with a resident canine and, until the last few days, with his sister Martha too. He plays well with both. He has had visits with other canine friends and human friends and is always eager to meet them. Starky seems to enjoy the company of children and eagerly climbs into their laps. He has had very little exposure to cats but seemed indifferent to them when they do meet. House training is going very well for Starky! He often goes to the door now to be let out. He is working very hard on crate training. He will sleep in his crate but not always with the door closed. He usually sleeps through the night but occasionally needs a break at some point. Starky always lets his foster mom know when he needs to go out at night! Starky is learning to walk on a leash and he is very eager to explore the world. Sometimes he is frightened by loud trucks or motorcycles. He is very motivated by treats and now sits when asked because he knows he will get a yummy treat.

Teddi 14 Years old Neutered Male Bichon "Teddi the Greeter!" Hi, my name is Teddi. I am a 14 years young Bichon. I was a surrender, and the nice lady at ARF decided to take me in and give me the best years of my life. When I came into ARF’s care, I needed a hair cut, manicure, my meds and extensive dental work. You see I have Cushings. This disease is probably more accurately referred to as hyperadrenocorticism -- the production of too much adrenal hormone, in particular corticosteroids. Cushings is managed by daily medications and periodic blood work. I know I am an old guy but I still love my car rides and walks and I will always greet you at the door when you come home. I get along well with the 2 resident dogs and the cats. Ok, I lied, I am still getting used to the cats! They like to sit up high and tease me so I bark. I am learning that cats are my friends. I am a good boy and would love to finish out my years being with a loving family. If you think you would like to adopt me, please click on the ADOPT ME icon beside my name.
Theodore 2 Months old Male Teddy Bear Mix! Theodore the cuddler loves to give lots and lots of kisses! He enjoys a good snuggle with his humans after lots of playtime.

Theodore is doing very well with house-training and leash walks. He plays with his sister, Pearl, but will seek out his foster parents moreso for playtime and attention. Theodore is gentle with the resident cats and gives them little puppy kisses. Mama dog was a Cocker Spaniel but Daddy was one of those travelling salesmen, so it’s difficult to determine an eventual size for Theodore but the guesstimate is 40-50lbs. He has received his first vaccinations, a Revolution treatment and has been dewormed. To apply for this handsome wee lad, click on the ADOPT ME icon next to his photo!
Tripper 2 Months old Male Gentle Handsome Soul! Tripper is part of "The Beatles" group of puppies. He loves to give lots and lots of kisses!

He is respectful of her when she asks him to leave her be. Tripper is a gentle, sensitive soul who is intelligent and sweet. He deserves a loving, active family and would do well with another canine in the family. He has not been exposed to kitties.

Wasabi 4 Months old Female ADOPTION PENDING "She is just SO SWEET!" is the phrase most often heard when people meet Wasabi. She's an intelligent pup with just the right balance of sweet sugar and funny puppy spice. Especially when that tail of hers tries to "get" her - no matter how many circles she goes in and no matter how fast she goes, she can never quite seem to catch that thing! :-) Wasabi currently resides with 5 other very large breed female dogs and a whole handful of cats. She gets along very well with all the 4 leggers. Sabi started going on off-leash hikes the day she came into foster care, and has also had excellent recall since day one. After hikes Wasabi loves a good cuddle with her humans or best doggie friend. Wasabi recently had the chance to meet her 5 month-old human neighbour, and fell completely in love. Wasabi much prefers to sit by the baby and gently kiss her face then to play with the family's own puppy who is Wasabi's age! The baby cries whenever Wasabi leaves! Sabi is very much a human-oriented puppy. Wasabi does not instantly adore every new dog she meets, and will often show signs of being a little intimidated. Wasabi took about a week in her foster home to get adjusted to being around 5 dogs 10 times her size. After that first week, though, she has made best friends for life with them all! Wasabi needs a forever home that can provide her with a lot of exercise and plenty of stimulation that all growing puppies need. She would enjoy a canine or feline brother or sister, but her foster mom thinks she would also thoroughly enjoy being the centre of a human family's world. If you have a canine and would like to apply for Wasabi, please note that she will take some time to become friends with your current pooch. Sabi would like to find a forever home who would take them with her wherever they went, as she absolutely LOVES, loves car rides, and has never gotten carsick - even as a wee pup! As with all ARF puppies, Wasabi will need a home that can provide her with both the physical and mental stimulation a bright girl needs to be happy, and continue her training using positive reinforcement techniques only. She is fully vaccinated, microchipped, Dewormed and Revolutioned. treatments. To apply for this wee gal, click on the ADOPT ME icon next to her pic!
Wellington 2 Months old Male Sweet as Pie Mix! Wellington is a sweet, loving puppy who is energetic but super laid back and easy to take on outings. He likes to chew and pounce on things and is learning quickly which things are his toys and which things are not. He is a hungry pup who is growing fast and should be a large boy, maybe 80-90lbs. Wellington is doing extremely well with crate training. He has been going in his crate at night without any objections and sleeps until morning, with one break in the middle of the night (where he goes straight out, does his business, and goes straight back to sleep!). Wellington is a smart fellow heading for the door to let you know he needs out! Wellington is living with two larger dogs and a cat, and has been around dogs of all sizes at the dog park and other places. At this point, he can relate to smaller dogs and puppies more readily. Wellington’s favourite thing, though, are the people around him; he loves everybody! Wellington has received Revolution, De-wormer and his first set of vaccinations.
