Treiver - I am a Yellow Labrador X, male, 6-7 ys old. Heres a bio by my foster daddy: "Treiver is a wonderfully young at heart, middle aged gentleman who would like nothing better to spend his time with an active gentleman or lady who appreciates loyal and quiet companionship. He knows his basic commands, and is comfortable around cats. He should be the only male dog though. This is a dog who loves to fetch and carry on land or in the water. Outdoors he loves to be by your side, indoors he will follow you from room to room, but given a toy will happily spend time alone curled up somewhere comfortable. Treiver can be dominant at times, and has some kind of food aggression, so he definitely needs a home of an experienced owner with a firm hand with some dog training knowledge - no children please. The new owner of Trevor should also be willing to continue his weekly training class provided free by MHS.

	Tugboat - I am an Australian Cattle Dog X, male, about 1 yr old, 40 lbs (I am a chubby boy of a small frame!). Here's a bio by my foster mom: "TUGBOAT is a really friendly, smart and active guy. He is young and behaves very much like a puppy. Tugboat needs to have lots of toys to chew to prevent him from chewing on things he shouldn't. He LOVES treats! He is fully house trained. He is good with kids but his energy level, strength and need of training make him more suitable for older children. Tugboat LOVES to go for walks but needs to be trained on his manners. He barks when someone is at the door but is always friendly when introduced to guests. Tugboat should not go to a home with cats. We are not sure how he would react to another dog in the home. Tugboat has lots of energy and loves to run around so a home with a yard is a must. Tugboat is great on car rides. He also loves attention and company and needs someone that will enjoy spending a lot of time with him taking him for long walks, playing with him and giving him belly rubs. Tugboat is a VERY sweet dog who loves to snuggle. An experienced owner willing to give Tugboat the training he needs will be rewarded with an amazing companion. He is a pleasure to have around."

	Tommy - I am a beagle, male, about 1 yr old, 25 lbs. I am a sweet and affectionate boy. I am friendly with people and get along with other dogs. I also walk well on a leash. Being a very young beagle, I still have the typical puppyish behaviour like chewing and nipping, so I need a 'stay at home' and patient owner who can give me attention and training. I should go to a home with no small kids, older children are fine. Rescued March 2008. Contact Tom 905-848-0012. ADOPTION FEE: $250
	Max - I am a very handsome 4 year old Labrador /Dalmation X, male. . I am a friendly, happy, energetic and playful dog. Sometimes I am a bit shy with new people, but I warm up pretty quickly. I get along really well with other dogs, cats and with kids too. I'm pretty independent; my foster mom says I am 'low maintenance', but I do need lots of exercise. Sometimes I bark when I hear the door, but I will stop when I'm told, . I like to have toys around that are just for me - that would stop my chewing other things! I am looking for a forever home with folks who are active and like to be outside a lot, and take me with them. I am an excellent passenger in the car, and my favourite game in the whole world is 'tug-o-war'! Contact Alicia @ 905-919-1593 or aarcand@rogers.com.
	Lexi - I am a very cute Pom-Yorkie mix, female, 9 years old. Here's a bio by my owner who has to find me another home due to a family situation:: "Lexi's past has not been great; she could have been abused by her first owner that for the first 3 years. When she's with people that she knows then she is fine and quiet but can get very excited. She is not very socialized with strangers especially males and other dogs. She is quite vocal to strangers and unfamiliar noises. She will bark when visitors come to the house. . She is house trained but from time to time she had several accidents; she sometimes would let you know when she needs to go outside. . She can be left alone and is not destructive to things nor does she have any anxiety problems when left alone. She has some weird fears such as if her toys is near or against a wall she is afraid to go near it. Also sometimes she is afraid to go near her food/water bowl but she wants to eat. At times you would have to be near her when she eats. She loves attention and sometime will bark unless you pet her or hold her. Lexi is very loyal to people she is close to and will never harm them. She loves to go for a walk but not in the cold or heavy rain. She definitely needs someone that is very kind and patient with her and can give her a lot of attention and love, in return you will have all her loyalty. A quiet and adult home with no kids is preferred". Surrendered March 2008. ADOPTION FEE: $128. Please contact Cindy 905-796-5699.

	Bea - (COURTESY LISTING): Bea is super happy big hearted lab with loads of love to give. If you could, go ahead and pet her all day, well that would be fine by her! She ignores her feline housemates and tolerates her boisterous puppy housemate. She'd probably prefer to have a calmer room mate (I don't think she'd mind having all the attention to herself for that matter). She's been good with company. She is also good off leash and at the dog park. She likes to go for walks, but not too long. She is a mature lady, but does not let it hold her back.

	Loui - (aka Cojack) - I am a Terrier X, male, about 11 yrs old, about 40 lbs. Here's a bio by my foster mom: Louie has come a long way from a frightened, traumatized, grumpy and growling stray, to a loving and tail-wagging dog that wants to kiss and cuddle with me, sometimes begging for a gentle rub on his head!. At night, he lies at our feet watching TV. With consistency, kindness, firmness and commitment, Louie will make some kind person a great companion. He has proved to be nothing more than a joy in our home. He needs a quiet home where there are no small children - preferably of a stay-home owner. A home with a yard would be great as he is still energetic for his age. He is learning fast and seems to be very intelligent and loyal. He is now house trained and is learning to trust. He enjoys car rides and long walks. He behaves very well on walks, and also reacts well to the dogs he meets. He does at times seem to guard his food but willingly takes treats and snacks from our hands. Louie needs a guardian angel who will be dedicated and committed to him for the rest of his life. In return he will reward you with lots of love and loyalty." Rescued Dec 2007. ADOPTION FEE: $98. Please contact foster parent Linda 1-905-713-6629 or email lindagopfert@msn.com.

He does not walk fast or pull on his leash, and would be perfect for anyone of any age. When he comes in, he will sleep at your feet like a baby. He is housetrained, very clean. As he is an older fellow, he would benefit being in a quiet home (without children) of an experienced owner, preferably experienced Chow Chow owners.
