COQUETA - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 4 years | 36 pounds | Medium energy | Great second dog | Not cat-tested | Good with kids | From Mexico | Fostered in East York | Curious and gentle

If you’ve seen the movie Amélie, you can picture sweet Coqueta – she’s playful, curious, a bit shy, and just beginning to find her confidence! Coqueta has come a long way since her timid first days and is becoming a wonderful companion who loves affection and gentle companionship. With her soft “bunny ears” and heart-melting snores, she’s as charming as she is lovable.

Coqueta’s ideal day includes a mix of activity and relaxation. She adores her time outdoors, where her confidence shines—whether it’s walks, backyard exploring, or soaking up fresh air. Indoors, she’s a champion napper but isn’t just a couch potato; she thrives on engaging with her humans and enjoys playful moments with her furry foster sibling. She lives with a toddler and is wonderfully gentle, making her a great fit for families.

Coqueta would do best in a calm, supportive home where her people are around for most of the day—she can be vocal when left alone in her crate, so condo living might be challenging initially. She’s making steady progress with her leash skills and loves her outdoor adventures but could use some support to build confidence with new people and bustling environments.

This sweet soul would love a calm, steady dog friend but could also thrive as a solo pet with regular outdoor activities and playdates. While she may take some time to fully trust, Coqueta is ready to blossom with a family who will include her in their lives and embrace her curious, joyful spirit. Ready to meet this gentle, loyal companion? Coqueta is waiting for you!

MANDI - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 2 years old | 20 pounds | Medium energy | No cats please! | Could live with kids 10+ | Could live with a dog | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Goofy & Cuddly

Meet Mandi, the ultimate cuddle bug with a playful streak and a personality that will melt your heart! Mandi is a sweet, affectionate girl who loves to be close to her people, whether it’s snuggling up on the couch or tucking herself under blankets for a cozy nap. She’s the definition of medium energy—excited and playful one minute, relaxed and chill the next. After a good walk or playtime, she’s perfectly content to curl up and snooze the day away.

Mandi is also a total goofball. She gets the zoomies after her walks, running around with joy and playfully barking. She’s affectionate, constantly seeking belly rubs and giving kisses to anyone who’ll give her attention. Though she’s a bit shy with new people at first, it only takes a minute for her to warm up and show her true playful self. Her tail starts wagging and she’ll be ready for all the pets and love you can give!

In terms of routine, Mandi thrives on walks and outdoor adventures. She loves getting outside for long walks (or several shorter ones throughout the day) and enjoys lounging in the sun when she's not on the move. Her prey drive is strong, and she gets very excited by squirrels, but she’s quick to redirect with a bit of patience. Recently, she’s shown some reactivity to electric scooters, bikes, and motorcycles, so a little extra guidance on walks can help keep her focused and calm in busy areas. Mandi is great with other dogs on walks and can absolutely live with a doggy sibling who shares her playful nature.

While Mandi is generally very adaptable to different living situations—she’s done well in a condo environment with her busy foster family—she’s definitely happiest when she’s getting lots of love, playtime, and a good walk. She would thrive in a home that can provide that and continue working on her excitement around squirrels. Mandi would be perfect for an active household or a 9-5er who can give her a midday break, ready to spoil her with affection and fun!

Mandi also has a wonderfully independent side—she enjoys her own time curled up on her bed or playing with toys when she’s feeling relaxed. She’s the perfect mix of cuddles and play, knowing when to seek affection and when to unwind on her own.

This adorable girl will quickly become your best friend—she’s got the sweetest personality, a funny side, and a heart full of love. Ready to meet your new bestie? Apply to adopt Mandi!

VANNA - APP IN PROCESS

Female | 2.5 years old | 33 pounds | Medium energy | Has met some dogs, can be nervous | Hasn’t met cats | Hasn’t interacted with kids | From Mexico | Fostered in Toronto | Sweet & curious

Meet VANNA! A sweet soul who’s slowly but surely coming out of her shell, she’s ready to find her forever home!

Eager to please and quick to learn, VANNA thoroughly enjoys a good training session … especially when treats are involved!! Her foster family has been patiently teaching her new skills and are seeing her confidence grow and a more playful side emerge. What’s she learning right now? Sit, shake a paw and even her recall.

Having a consistent routine and setting aside time for training has proven to work well for this 2.5-year-old scruff. When she’s not busy training, snuffle mats and puzzles keep her mind engaged and the occasional round of fetch keeps her active! With a medium energy level, VANNA’s ideal day includes a few nice walks, playtime, and cozy moments with her humans. Don’t forget a good roll in the grass, too! Curious about her surroundings, VANNA might be interested in exploring new areas, that is, if you are too!

Sometimes curious and sometimes nervous meeting other dogs, VANNA is typically inclined to give these potential friends a sniff and otherwise continues to work on these interactions. Her gentle curiousity may make her a good companion to young humans. Keep in mind she can be nervous meeting people, so it’s best she goes to a home with older dog-savvy kids, if any.

With a heart as big as her love for belly rubs, VANNA’s ready to settle in with a family who will give her the care and affection she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, sweet companion, VANNA might just be the perfect match! Apply to adopt.
