Dogs Available for Adoption
The following dogs are accepting applications for adoption. Each of them has a bio that details their personality/behaviour and what they’re looking for in a forever home.
Lobo is a sweet, silly, smart little guy with a playful personality and a whole lot of love to give. He’s a sensitive dog who bonds deeply with “his person” and becomes a loyal shadow once he trusts you. While he may be shy or nervous at first, especially with men or strangers, patience and gentle confidence help him open up. And once he does, he’s affectionate, snuggly, and full of adorable charm.
​
Lobo is eager to please, learns quickly, and thrives in a calm home with people who understand Dachshunds and how to help build confidence in a timid dog.
​
What Lobo Needs in His Forever Home:
​
A calm, understanding household
Lobo warms up slowly and needs adopters who will give him time and space to settle.
​
Someone home often
He becomes anxious when left completely alone. With another dog, he settles
better, but being alone for full workdays would be too much for him.
​
Another friendly, small dog
He takes cues from other dogs and relaxes noticeably when he has a canine companion.
​
Slow introductions
Especially with men; he may growl or retreat until he feels safe.
​
Respectful children
He loves kids but can mouth when excited, so older children are best.
​
A family familiar with Dachshunds
His confidence will grow with structure, patience, and breed-savvy care.
​
Not an apartment dog
Lobo likes to be vocal when he plays.
​
Lobo is a sweet, extraordinary little dog with a big heart and endless love to give.
With time, patience, and the right home, he will blossom into a devoted, joyful, affectionate best friend. If you’re looking for a sensitive boy who will adore you once you’ve earned his trust, Lobo might be your perfect match.
​
Due to his nervousness, Lobo will only be available to meet individuals who align
with his needs for a home. There will not be a public meet-and-greet event.

​
Marshall is a sweet, gentle little guy with a loving heart and a soft, sensitive nature. He’s still learning to be confident in the world, but with the right home, he will blossom into a devoted companion who adores his people. Once he trusts you, he loves attention, belly rubs, and will gently paw at you to ask for more affection.
​
Here’s what Marshall needs to thrive:
​
Quiet Home
Marshall is nervous in new situations and with new people.
A calm, low-traffic home will help him feel safe.
​
Another Dog
He takes comfort from the two small dogs in his foster home and would
do best with another quiet, friendly dog to show him the ropes.
​
Other Pets
He ignores the foster’s two cats, making him
an easy fit for a home with respectful felines.
​
Kids
He has not been tested with children, so an adult-only
home or one with older, calm kids is recommended.
​
Training
Marshall knows 'stay' and 'come' and is working on housetraining. He’s
eager to please, food-motivated, and responds well to soft guidance.
​
Alone Time
He settles well when left alone and has been fine
for up to 4 hours, where he relaxes and naps.
​
Activity
He loves squeaky toys, treats, and being close to his person.
​
Requirements
Marshall does not enjoy walks, he is terrified of walking
on leashes and will need a fenced in yard.
​
Marshall will also require a couple weeks to decompress.
He will be sad the first few days and he will cry.
​
Marshall is an affectionate pup who just wants love, safety, and someone to
believe in him. With patience and reassurance, he will reward his family with
loyalty, sweetness, and endless cuddles.
​
Due to his nervousness, Marshall will only be available to meet
individuals who align with his needs for a home.
There will not be a public meet-and-greet event.

​
Rocco is a loving, energetic boy who lives for adventure. Walks, hikes, exploring new scents, and playing with toys are his absolute favourite things. When the fun is done, he’s a total snuggler who loves being close to his people. He’s silly, affectionate, and guaranteed to make you smile every day.
​
Rocco has made wonderful progress in foster care and is ready for a
forever home that understands his needs:
​
Companionship
Rocco has separation anxiety and needs someone home most of the time. He’s on fluoxetine and can be left alone briefly, but he’ll need continued patient training.
Exercise
This boy is active. He needs daily walks, outdoor adventures, and enrichment to keep his mind and body happy.
Other pets
Rocco prefers being the only dog. He’s tolerant of others but doesn’t enjoy close interactions. He is not suitable for homes with cats or small animals due to high prey drive.
Training
He’s house trained and knows basic commands. He does pull on leash when excited or when he spots wildlife, so he needs a strong, confident handler. He should never be off leash outdoors.
Home life
Rocco does best in a calm home. He loves routine, bonds deeply, and prefers to stay close to his people. He’s a sweet, loyal companion who thrives on kindness and structure.
Children
Rocco is suitable for a kid-friendly home. He grew up with children and does very well with respectful kids who understand boundaries.
​
Rocco will make a devoted adventure buddy and an affectionate best friend for a patient, understanding family who can give him the stability and activity he needs.
