MONA IS ADOPTED! ✅
Back in December 2025, Mona (formerly Kona) found her forever home in time for Christmas!
Mona is a Pointer mix that was rescued from Greece from ! We brought her to Canada to reunite with her mom — AVA — who was quickly adopted after Mona arrived! From day one, Mona was a quirky and shy girl - with the sweetest and silliest bursts of joy once she trusted you! We knew that Mona’s home needed to be a gentle one — a family that would see past her shyness, knowing what was on the other side of trust with time and patience. And those people, literally, walked RIGHT IN THE DOOR one day!
Enter Brad & Sue, who had been following Mona on Petfinder for some time. They felt a connection - and were ready for their next pup after losing their previous too soon. Funnily enough, they accidentally came to our centre on a Sunday thinking we had an adoption event that day! Luckily, Zach happened to be there in the lobby, discussions began, and a quick meeting with Mona too. From there, Mona went home quickly — Brad & Sue knew they found their next family member, and just like that — ADOPTION!
Today, Mona is very comfortable at home with her kitty sisters Margot & Peach. She enjoys her witching hours twice daily, loves snuggles with her humans, hogs a pillow at bedtime, and is immensely loved — as she always deserved.
HAPPY TAILS TO MONA, BRAD, SUE AND THE WHOLE FAMILY! THANK YOU FOR RESCUING — WE WISH YOU A LIFETIME OF HAPPINESS AND MEMORIES TOGETHER! 💘

MAISIE IS ADOPTED!
Back in December 2025, our girl Maisie found her forever home in time for Christmas!
Maisie is a hound mix that was rescued from Greece, and from day one, she was the sweetest girl ready for a forever home! Maisie is happiest around her people and getting to explore outside. Her loving demeanour was cherished by all of us, and we knew that Maisie deserves people who would offer her all the time in the world. She truthfully waited longer than we had hoped, but sometimes the best things in life are worth waiting for! 💜
Enter Wendy & Corey, who visited our monthly adoption event and initially came to meet two other dogs that weren’t Maisie! We decided to surprise them at their meeting and included Maisie — as when we read their application, we actually thought that she was their most compatible fit! By the end of the meeting, Wendy & Corey happily agreed — after hearing her journey and time with us, they KNEW that Maisie was their next family member, a true rescue experience, and a FOREVER MATCH! Soon after, she went home — and official adoption came two weeks later! 🥹
Today, Maisie gets her daily walks, snuggles, and is starting to overcome her fear of the car to go on adventures! She is a cherished member of the family — and Maisie more than deserves the happily forever after she found!
HAPPY TAILS TO MAISIE, WENDY, COREY AND THE WHOLE FAMILY! THANK YOU FOR RESCUING — WE WISH YOU A LIFETIME OF HAPPINESS AND MEMORIES TOGETHER! 💘

GRACIE IS ADOPTED! 🥳
Back in December 2025, our lil Gracie found her forever home in time for Christmas! 💜
Gracie was a hound mix that we rescued from Greece as a sweet lil puppy! She captured hearts at every turn — and we knew she had the world of potential to fit into so many families. After a great deal of interest, we felt that Gracie would thrive in a busy home, and that’s exactly what we found in her forever home!
Enter Summer, Andreas & Family! These folks wanted to plan a surprise for their four kids — and welcome home their very first dog without them even knowing it! Luckily, our foster to adopt trial offered the perfect disguise, and the kids were under the impression that they were only “babysitting” Gracie and that she was leaving on Christmas Eve!
On Christmas Day, the kids woke up and learned that GRACIE WAS THEIR DOG THEY ALWAYS WANTED! And just like that, she was ADOPTED! 😍
From the moment she went home, Gracie was the missing piece to the family — she tagged along for their every adventure right away and was happily furever after!
Today, Gracie has grown SO big and is a gorgeous girl! We are so happy that Gracie gets to grow up with a loving family, seeing her human siblings grow up with her, and experience every happiness!
HAPPY TAILS TO GRACIE, SUMMER, ANDREAS AND THE WHOLE FAMILY! THANK YOU FOR RESCUING — WE WISH YOU A LIFETIME OF HAPPINESS AND MEMORIES TOGETHER! 💘
