Ziggy

Location: Toronto, ON
Age: 10 years
Gender: male, neutered
Weight: 10 lbs

Ziggy is a ten-year-old gentleman surrendered to CCRT from a shelter because he was not doing well in the environment. He has been neutered, microchipped, brought up-to-date with shots and has also had a dental recently.

When Ziggy originally went into his foster home, he was too thin, but with the proper nutrition, he is at a healthy weight of approximately ten pounds.

Ziggy is very fond of his foster mom and home-cooked food. He loves his chicken breast in the morning and afternoon after his walk. He gets along well with the other dog in his foster home, however, he is not friendly with other dogs and must be leashed at all times when outside of the home.

Ziggy is almost completely house-trained with only the occasional accident. He probably has a weak bladder and arthritis due to his age.

This loving fellow requires a lot of affection and never gets tired of having his ears and tummy rubbed. He is not a playful boy and can only be touched in certain areas of his body due to the arthritis. He does have an unknown allergy and may require medication from time to time.

Ziggy would do best in a one-person home where he is the only dog.

If you would like to adopt Ziggy, please fill out an adoption application. You can also purchase a sweater and/or blanket for Ziggy or one of our other fosters to help get them through these cold winter months. Alternatively, you can make a cash donation for one of our dogs, and become a Sponsorship Angel.

Ruby

Location: Ottawa
Age: 8 years
Gender: female, spayed
Weight: 12 lb.

Adoption Fee: $200.00

This darling gem is 8 year old Ruby, a 12 pound short coat fawn little Chihuahua with perhaps a tiny bit of pug in her. She was surrendered to CCRT from an Ontario shelter, where she had been brought in as a stray. Ruby was found to have a heart murmur, a large mammary tumor, the beginning of cataracts and advanced dental disease so she could not be put up for adoption. However, everyone at the shelter was so taken by her lovable demeanor that they called CCRT hoping we could give her a better life. Naturally, we were trilled to take her in, but it quickly became apparent that Ruby may be sick. During her routine exam at a CCRT vet’s office, we discovered many more smaller mammary tumors.

Ruby had surgery to remove the tumors, which were to have been sent to a lab for examination. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding at the vet's office, they were not sent and we don't know if they are malignant or not. Due to her age, it is not safe to subject her to more anesthetic and tumour removal. She also had several teeth removed during her dental scaling and was spayed. She is recovering well from her surgeries, is showing a keen interest in food and is being showered with love by her foster family.

Ruby’s foster family tells us she is a sweetheart. She is very easy to care for, doesn’t bother with the other dogs in the foster home, never has an accident in the house, listens to everything you tell her to do and is a big fan of car rides. She obviously was well loved and trained at some point as she knows basic commands and walks very well on a leash. Ruby is just like a rag doll, cuddling up like a newborn baby on her back for tummy rubs. She is an older dog, not very active and does show signs of arthritis, which makes her move more slowly than other dogs. Ruby’s favourite place to hang out is a pile of blankets in the front hall closet.

Ruby’s ideal home will be a calm, quiet environment, perhaps with a senior who would appreciate a constant, loving companion. If you think you’re the right “furever” home for this gal, please complete an adoption application for her and a CCRT Regional Coordinator will contact you soon.

China Lynn

Location: London, Ontario
Age: 8 years
Gender: female, spayed
Weight: 11 lb. — needs to lose weight
Adoption Fee : $200.00

China -Lynn came to CCRT after being surrendered with 3 other dogs after her elderly owner was no longer able to look after them. She's approximately 8 years old (possibly younger according to the vet), up to date with her shots, spayed and has had a dental. And, most importantly--she's completely loveable!! She smiles at you!! When she wags her tail, her whole bum wriggles. She needs to lose some wieght and is getting used to a feeding schedule and dog food at her foster home. It appears that she was given a lot of treats and food from the table. She loves to please; is pee pad trained and will ask to go outside although does not give very definitive signals as yet; but she's trying!

Presently, she'll walk up to you with a smile & tail wag and when asked if she wants to go outside, will run to the door... she's trying hard and is improving on this.

Presently, she's being fostered in a home with other dogs and a cat, which is fine for her. However, her foster Mum thinks she would also love to be the centre of someones life and the only dog in the home; simply because she has so much love to give.

Her foster Dad says she's a wonderful little dog and is a "bundle of joy" waiting for her new forever home.

If you're looking for a totally sweet, lovable little gal to call your own than you've found her. She'll greet you with a joyful tail wag and her huge smile.

China-Lynn could become your little China Doll :)

Charlie and Bianca

Bonded Pair — Must be adopted together!

Adoption Fee (for pair): $350
Age: approx. 10 years

Charlie and Bianca are originally from CCRT and they are a bonded pair; they must be adopted together. This beautiful duo were adopted about five years ago to a wonderful owner who has since changed jobs and can no longer give them the time they need and deserve. Both dogs are approximately ten years old and completely up-to-date with shots and vet-checks.

Charlie is a very quiet fellow, while Bianca is quite bossy and likes to put other pets in their place. Both dogs love people and going for walks.

Bianca is a cuddly kissy girl and Charlie likes to lie near a window to see what’s happening outside. Bianca’s favorite spot is a lap, or laying in the sunshine. Charlie will tolerate brushing, but only if it is done slowly and gently. They prefer sleeping in bed with their owner, but will also sleep in a basket.

This pair needs a lot of company and would be ideally suited for a retiree or someone who works from home. They are completely house-trained and will also use a puppy pad when left alone.

If you are interested in adopting Charlie and Bianca, please fill out an adoption application. You can also purchase sweaters and/or blankets for them, or any of our other fosters. Also consider becoming a CCRT Sponsorship Angel by providing a cash donation towards the care of any of our foster dogs.

Age: approx. 9 years old
Gender: male, neutered
Weight:
Adoption Fee : $250.00

Hi I'm Bosco! I was surrendered to CCRT because my elderly owner could no longer care for me. I really miss him but I am doing great in my foster home and I just have so much love to give and I can't wait until that special someone adopts me and takes me home!

I am completely up-to-date with shots, neutered, micro-chipped and vet-checked. I am approximately nine years old and nine pounds the vet said. Oh and I also had my teeth cleaned, they took really good care of me! (did I mention that I love having my teeth brushed also? The vet said that will keep them stunning white!)

I love people and most of all I love going for walks and seeing all kinds of new things-I have made lots of friends! I like dogs and cats and I LOVE to play ball!!!!! Boy you should see me chase a ball-I think I'm better than any professional runner out there! After a good game I just love to cuddle and have a good rest on your lap.

I am king of the world! (or so I think) and boy I must say I do stand out in crowds as you can see from my picture below - I think it's just all my good looks, that's why I have so many pictures of myself :)

I have gotten a clean bill of health from the vet-except for one thing, I have a heart murmur but the vet said not to worry about that-it is not that bad and I do not have any symptoms or anything, and I don't need any medication for it-although down the road there is a chance I might but I won't let that slow me down! I just have it checked regularly by my vet. Bosco does well with the housetraining routine in his foster home, this routine would need to be reinforced in his forever home.

Won't you please consider me as an addition to your wonderful family? I promise I have LOTS of love to give!!!

Bosco

JoJo

Location: Toronto, Ontario
Age: approx 18 months
Gender: male, neutered
Weight: 10 lb
Adoption Fee : $350.00

This handsome fellow is JoJo. He was surrendered to CCRT from Animal Services where he came in as a stray. JoJo is a tall boy weighing between ten and eleven pounds. CCRT is sure that he has some chihuahua in there somewhere – maybe in his ears.

JoJo is not your average chi – he is bigger, stronger and loves to play fight. He is great with kids and has a fantastic personality. This playful guy loves to have his belly rubbed and spends about half of the time lying on his back.

One of JoJo’s favorite tricks is to take kibble into his bed and try to hide it under his toys. He loves anything that squeaks, bounces or is just plain chewable.

JoJo loves to give kisses and going for walks. However, he is terrified of the backyard, which may indicate that he spent most of his time there before coming into CCRT. His house-training needs work and is getting better every day.

If you are interested in adopting this playful young boy, please fill out an adoption application. You can also purchase a sweater and/or blanket for JoJo or any of our other fosters.

You may also want to consider becoming a CCRT Sponsorship Angel by providing a cash donation towards the care of any of our very deserving dogs.

Angel

Location: Richmond Hill , Ontario
Age: 2.5 years
Gender: female, spayed
Weight: 7 lb 14 oz- needs to gain some weight
Adoption Fee : $350.00

This floppy-eared beautiful girl is Angel. She was surrendered to CCRT by a shelter because she was a stray and not doing well in the shelter environment. Angel is approximately two-and-a-half years old and weights just under eight pounds. She is spayed, micro-chipped, vaccinated and vet-checked. Angel is very sweet and loving. She enjoys other dogs and her walks, and is very good on-leash. One of Angel’s favorite activities is to zoom around the backyard. She appears to be house-trained and will produce on command outside.

Initially, Angel is timid with strangers, and is fearful of loud noises and fast movements. Small children are terrifying to her and she needs to be handled gently.

The ideal home for Angel is quiet, patient and definitely without children. A well-balanced furry friend would give her confidence.

If you would like to adopt Angel, please fill out an adoption application. You can also purchase a sweater and/or blanket for her, or any of our other fosters.

Please consider becoming a CCRT Sponsorship Angel for any of our fosters, by making a cash donation towards their care.

Ruby and Shorty are a bonded pair that need a home together. They will keep each other company when you are not home.

RUBY and SHORTY (male) are relatively calm and are content with a good walk around the block and then a romp with each other. Ruby likes to play and chase her tail. Shorty loves to play with his canine and feline friends, especially with his sister, Ruby.

They are a little nervous when they first meet you, but they warm up to you quickly. Because they are a little nervous, an adult home is recommended.
