ZiggyLocation: Toronto, ON
Get jiggy with Ziggy! This handsome, 10 year old sweetie is up to date on shots, microchipped and was recently neutered and had a dental cleaning as well. He's a bit thin at 7 pounds, but CCRT foster families know how to treat a dog right and Ziggy will fill out in no time. Ziggy came to CCRT from an Ontario shelter, where he had originally been found as a stray. He's getting to know his foster family and is doing well so far. Ziggy does seem to have a touch of arthritis, but that's nothing unheard of in a dog his age. Ziggy is doing well in foster care and is now ready for his forever home. If you are looking for a quiet, gentle boy who just wants to live out his remaining years being loved and spoiled, Ziggy is your man. He looks forward to meeting you and making you a part of his family.

Toro And AntonioLocation: Richmond Hill, ON Bonded pair. MUST be adopted together.Toro and Antonio were surrendered to CCRT by their owner who is no longer able to care for them as she is ill. Toro, the smaller of the two Chihuahuas, is Antonio’s sire. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. These sweet, gentle boys have been well cared for and had lots of love in their lives. Both are happy, healthy, and very affectionate. Toro and Antonio do everything together. They sleep in the same bed, always touching. Antonio sits on little Toro, trying to be close to him, and Toro doesn’t mind a bit. They’re neutered, micro chipped, up to date with vaccinations and heartworm preventative, and already housetrained to do their business outside. Toro is quite outgoing and immediately becomes your new best friend. He loves to cuddle and give kisses, which are even nicer now that he’s had his teeth cleaned. Toro likes to chase and retrieve toys that are thrown for him. His bed gets quite crowded because he stashes everything there. He likes to burrow under his bed, blankets, and even your clothes while you’re wearing them! Antonio is a bit timid with strangers and lets Toro check them out first. But after a few minutes he’s happy to have your attention. Antonio loves to be chased around the backyard by his dad. They dart around at top speed and purposely almost crash into each other – it’s quite a sight to behold. These little guys need regular exercise to keep them mentally and physically healthy and to maintain their buff physiques. They really look forward to their daily long walks side by side on leash. Toro and Antonio are ready and waiting to bring joy to their new forever family. If you would like to adopt these wonderful boys, please fill out an adoption application.

SalmaLocation: Ottawa area, ON Salma is an extremely sweet, mild and gentle 8 year old girl. She was surrendered to CCRT by her owners who could no longer care for her. Salma is a quiet dog who doesn't bark very much and is paper trained and is learning to do her business outdoors as well. She is very good on her leash and is loving her walks. Salma is being fostered in a home with other dogs and is also very tolerant of younger children, sitting by their side to be petted and loved. Salma does suffer from allergies and her previous owners were giving her regular cortisone shots. They didn't seem to be doing the trick and her allergies were so severe that CCRT had her thoroughly examined and tested by our vet. We have learned that she suffers from extreme allergies to some foods and has environmental triggers as well. At this time, we are trying out a new dog food in the hopes of making her better. If there is no improvement, Salma will have biopsy so we can learn more and she may need allergy shots for the rest of her life. It's such a shame that this is happening to a truly wonderful, darling girl. Salma will scratch incessantly and then snuggle up for hugs and kisses - it's rather heartbreaking and lovely all the same. Salma will need a home where her health is a top priority and where her family will continue on with the care, monitoring and treatment she has been receiving. If you have the time and resources to be Salma's family, you won't be disappointed by this precious dog.

CupcakeLocation: Nova Scotia Sweet as can be - introducing Cupcake! This little girl is 6 years old, is slightly underweight at 10 pounds (but thanks to her love of food, this will be resolved soon), spayed, microchipped and vaccinated. Cupcake came to CCRT after having spent her life being a breeding machine and we are so happy she is now with us. Depsite her unfortunate backgroun, Cupcake is proving to be a very loving dog. She follows her foster mom everywhere and likes to relax on the couch or in bed. Cupcake likes the outdoors and plays nicely with the other dogs in the backyard. While she had some accidents in the house at first, Cupcake is a smart cookie and has learned her house manners very quickly. Cupcake's foster mom says this dog can jump higher than any dog she's ever seen and would probably do well with flyball or agility training. Cupcake is very clever and watches your every move - usually perched high atop the back of the sofa. She is curious but mostly indifferent around cats and is excellent with kids of all ages. In a nutshell, Cupcake is sociable and approachable. Cupcake appears to have had an old injury to her eyelid. She now has a little tuft of hair at the corner where it looks as though the lid didn't heal together propertly. Cupcake became very stressed with she was put into a crate, so that is now off limits to her. She has shown some separation anxiety but does settle down over short period of time. If a sweet thing like Cupcake is what your home needs, please submit an adoption application for her today.

TuckerLocation: Calgary, AB Tucker is a young, smooth coat male Chihuahua currently being fostered in Calgary. He was found abandoned on a doorstep, in his crate and fortunately made his way to CCRT. Tucker is up date to shots, neutered, microchipped and in great health. Tucker is truly enjoying his time in foster care and was quick to show his wonderful, sweet side. He is extremely affectionate, has tons of energy and likes to play, play and play some more. Tucker is a tad cautious around strangers at first, but once he gets to know you, will shower you with kisses and love. He is doing great with the other pets in his foster home as well. He came to CCRT knowing absolutely nothing about house training, but is now completely housebroken. Tucker loves to be outdoors and has now learned how to walk nicely on leash. He is a quick learner and eager to please. Tucker is a very quiet dog, who rarely barks. He would rather run and play than make noise. He is extremely content sleeping in his crate at night. Tucker did develop a skin issue that has since been cleared up. He did lose some fur around his neck, but that is growing back and he’s looking more and more like his handsome self every day. Tucker's ideal forever home would include someone who is active and loves taking a dog on walks or perhaps even doing some agility training. This guy just lives for fun, fun, fun! Tucker is a small dog in size, but a large dog in heart and attitude!
