Kermit

Kermit is a Greyhound from the Maritime Greyhound adoption Program. This program takes in greyhounds who have retired from racing and want to live the rest of their life like normal dogs. They go into wonderful foster homes and once they are adopted, there is an online training course they follow. Not that these fellas need all the training, they are just super energetic. Kermit is no exception. He is outgoing both in personality and in looks. He is big and friendly but also beautiful. Kermit has big brown eyes that will melt you into a puddle of love. His head is black with a white stripe down the middle. The rest of his body is unusual black and white markings like his head. This gorgeous boy has boatloads of energy and love. He needs someone to play with for the rest of his life.

Shelby and Dexter

These two boys came from a loving home who could unfortunately no longer afford them. Shelby, a six year old beagle and Dexter, a four year old husky/shepherd are two loving souls. When brought into foster, Shelby was put alone in a different home. It turns out that he could not cope well without a companion during the day. Dexter had to stay with Shelby which he did not mind and the two are very happy dogs.If Shelby gets adopted into a home with other dogs, he would be fine without Dexter. Dexter is a touch shy but he warms up fast and this beautiful boy will be perfect as long as there is somewhere he can be off his leash. Shelby is typical loving beagle material: loving to be by your side and will follow her nose during a walk in the park. Dexter is your playful guy: happy, curious, likes to run and play. They are both gorgeous and a pair of wonderful hearts. Two peas in a pod, these guys are waiting for a new home.

Hogan

This little hound is finally on the last step of his journey! Hogan is a Scandinavian hound. He has a creamy white coat, floppy ears and big brown eyes. Hogan was rescued with 25 other dogs. These dogs were used for racing but were chained up most of the time and fed scarcely. After three weeks in a shelter, the Friendly Giants Dog Rescue picked him up. Shortly after that, Hogan was tested positive for heartworm. Hogan did not give up and neither did his foster family. It took many months, an extremely difficult and long process. In the end Hogan beat the odds and the treatment was successful. He is now a completely healthy boy. Now, he is learning how to live indoors, how to play and how to love. This hound is making new human, canine and feline friends, all of whom seem to love his bubbling energy levels and warm personality. If it isn't his doggy smile that catches you, its his love. All that this boy needs now in life is a family who will love him for the rest of his life. He needs a furever home of his own. Someone who will run with him and someone who he can give lots of kisses. Maybe someone to spoil him! Yeah, he'd love one of those! Hogan, like any dog, loves to be loved and love someone back.

Tweek and Simon

Tweek and Simon were in the local pound for over 10 weeks when they were about 4 months old. The Adopt-A-Pet Rescue was over-full with nowhere to put them and no one to take them. The two were almost out of luck when thankfully this very kind lady offered to foster them. The two brothers had their lives spared. They have been waiting for way too long to find a forever home. They are adults now and very handsome little cats indeed. They will definitely paw and purr their way into your heart. No questions asked, these kitties are wonderful!

Snoopy

Who is 60 pounds of lovable lab and boxer mix? Who is 6 months old and loves to snuggle? The answer to both of those questions is Snoopy! Snoopy is like any puppy should be: happy, excited, sweet and learning how the world works. All he needs now is a furever home. He loves to play, smell and meet people. He is still in the midst of being trained and socialized. This big boy absolutely adores to play and really needs it because he has so much energy, like any puppy would. He needs someone who can give him the time to walk, socialize, run and most importantly (in my opinion at least) cuddle. Nobody can resist those big golden eyes or those floppy ears, they're just so cute. Snoopy is just sniffing out somebody to love with that big, wet nose of his!

Noelle

This little fluff ball will pounce onto your heart. Noelle the cat, got her name from the workers at the Etibicoke Humane Society. Around Christmas 2013, during an ice storm, she was abandoned on the shelter steps. That does not stop her from stealing everyone's hearts, though. Apparently, nothing stops her. Noelle has lost some weight and now loves to greet everyone with some purrs. She is currently in foster care, just waiting for someone to take her home and cuddle on the couch. Her black and white spots with big green eyes will make you melt. She needs someone to help her through her twilight years.

Tucker

Tucker is a six year old lab with deep brown eyes and a big pink tongue. He looks at you with his head a little tilted and has that big doggy smile that nobody can resist. When he was picked up by the Renewed Life Animal Rescue, he was a little fat, too. Tucker is a very happy dog but was
unfortunate in his previous ownership, living with an awful person. As much as it hurts me to say it, this wonderful lab had his tail cut off because he was wagging it too much. Tucker was brought to Ontario to these new, wonderful people who have big hearts. Needless to say, Tucker is off to a better life. He also had another problem, the poor boy had partial crutiate tears on both of his back legs. That means that there are small tears in the ligaments of his knees, left untreated this can be dangerous but luckily Tucker is in good hands. Tucker went into surgery at the beginning of February for his left and has since been recovering. He is in foster care now waiting for his leg to heal before he can go into surgery for his right. In foster care he is proving to be a remarkable boy, very friendly with a good-nature. Like all dogs, he loves to lick your fingers and play. The Renewed Life Animal Rescue is working hard fundraising for the means to pay for Tucker's second surgery. In the near future, Tucker is hopefully going to be running around playing fetch and living the life he deserves.
