Rolla
Breed: Domestic Long Hair
Sex: Female
Age: 5.5 months
Disposition: Playful Kitten
@ Shelter: October 2009
|
|
Description:
Rolla came in to the shelter as a stray as she was found left in a carrier on a Merchant's gate in Oakville. She's a fun and playful little kitten with tons of energy. Kittens! Kittens! Kittens! What could be more fun than the bouncing bundle of joy that is a kitten? Always playful and irresistibly cute, they make a lively addition to any home! They are guaranteed to keep you entertained for hours on end with their constant crazy antics and become wonderful companions for your family. In general, kittens will fit into homes that have other pets as they are young and adaptable (just make sure your pets are ready for a rambunctious sibling!). Kittens under the age of 6 months aren?t highly recommended for families with small children due to their sometimes over the top style of play and because their true personalities aren?t fully developed at this age.

Toula
Breed: Rottweiler
Sex: Female
Age: 1.5 years old
Disposition: Energetic sweetheart
@ Shelter: February 20, 2010
|
|
Description:
Toula was brought to the shelter by her owners who were no longer able to care for her due to a change in work schedules which meant they did not have time to devote to Toula. Toula is a wonderful girl with lots of love an affection to give. She has a ton of energy and will need her new owners to have the same level of activity so they can spend lots of time tiring her out. Toula would love to go for runs and walks but also she would benefit from using her mental energy too through things like training. She loves toys of all kinds and is hoping that her new home will have lots of different things for her to play with. She loves to snuggle stuffies but also enjoys following a ball around! Toula tends to turn any kind of human handling into playtime because she is still a big puppy. Her new owners need to be prepared to help her learn some self control. Toula must attend a training school to help her learn self control and to build a healthy relationship with her new family. Plus she will enjoy the learning experience! We are asking that Toula lives in a home that has children over the age of 13 years because she doesn't have any experience living with children and she is quite boisterous where she could potentially knock a child over. Toula would also benefit from a home with primary dog experience that would better understand her. Toula is great with other dogs and would love to have a canine companion in her new home that she can play with!

Moses
Breed: Shepherd X Rottweiler
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: 1 year old
Disposition: Affectionate, strong
@ Shelter: February 2, 2010
|
|
Description:
Moses came into the shelter as a stray last month, so we don't have any background information on him. He is also very new to the adoption room and so we are still getting to know more about him every day! Being a Shepherd and Rottweiler cross, there is no doubt that he is a very strong boy! Because of this, it will be important for his family to be comfortable in the leadership role, and past experience with a guard dog is an asset. Moses is also a very loving dog whose big brown eyes will draw you in! He definitely loves receiving affection from his trusted human friends, and can be very gentle when returning the favour! However, because Moses do not have any known previous experience with children, he must go to an adult-only home. Training school is an absolute must for Moses in order to help him and his new family get off to the right start with a solid and healthy relationship.

Disposition: Friendly
@ Shelter: 12/14/2009

Description:
Oracle was found as a stray in December 2009. He is delcawed and must've had a rough time outside with no protection. He is a bouncy-ball fanatic, and would really like some of those in his new home. He likes to talk to his human friends, and has a cute, squeaky little voice that is full of character. He is very affectionate and can often be found rolling on his back for some tummy rubs! He will need a lot of brushing in his new home, but thats all right. He really enjoys being brushed and will bond over this activity with his new family. If you'd like to see this big old teddy bear out of his cage, please ask at the front desk!

Avery
Breed: Domestic Short Hair - Orange Tabby
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 1.5 years old
Disposition: Friendly - FIV Positive
@ Shelter: 12/15/2009
|
|
Description:
Avery came to the shelter as a stray. He is a very sweet boy. This guy is the friendliest, cuddliest cat in the room! He can sit in your arms all day purring, and is always up to play and games. Unfortunately, Avery was living outdoors before he came to the shelter and contracted FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) which is essentially the cat equivalent to HIV in humans. But don't worry, it's nothing that people or other species can catch, so they can live long and wonderful lives with their people friends and other animals friends, like dogs, hamsters and bunnies; just not other cats. FIV passes through the saliva, so a fight between cats, even if it's in play, can possibly transfer the virus. It's safer for a cat like Avery to live in a home where he would be the only cat or where the other cats are FIV positive. He needs to live with a family who is dedicated to keeping him strictly indoors and who are prepared for keeping up with regular vet care including annual exams and vaccines. Anyone who is considering taking Avery home should speak with their vet ahead of time to discuss any concerns they may have with taking on a cat who is FIV positive. More detailed information about FIV will be provided during the adoption meeting as well. If you want to bring a loving lap cat home, please ask about Avery at the front desk!

Joey
Breed: Labrador Retriever - Black

Age: Approximately 5 years old
Disposition: Sweet and Cuddly
@ Shelter: 06/02/2010
|
|
Description:
Joey is a sweet, cuddly boy who is full of character. We have no history on him, as he was transfered from another shelter. He is very strong and can be boisterous at times. Since he doesn't realize how big he is, and he rarely knows his strength, we are looking for a home with children 14 and up who can deal better with this. Training school is required for Joey, as it will help him develop a strong bond with his new family, learn about leadership roles, and learn to socialize well with other dogs.

Description:
Dhoni is a sweet cat who was surrendered when his owners were moving. He was adopted out once but played too rough with young kids, so we are asking that he go to a home with older children or adults. He isn't fond of other cats, and is looking to be the only cat in the home. That way, he can get all the attention he wants to himself! He loves to be pet and asks for pets all the time. He sometimes doesn't want to be picked up and is looking for a family that will respect that.

Huckleberry
Breed: German Short Hair Pointer - Black and White
Sex: Male
Age: Approximately 1 year old
Disposition: Highly energetic, Sweet and Sensitive
@ Shelter: 2/1/2010
|
|
Description:
Huckleberry came to ODHS from another shelter and his previous history is unknown. He's a very sweet and sensitive young man who will require his new owners to help him build confidence and independence. Huckleberry is a high energy breed. He will require a routine life with regular physical and mental exercise!
Needs an Adult Only Home due to his lack of confidence and lightly nervous tendencies and due to his lack of known history.
For Huckleberry, Obedience Training School is an absolute must! Training school will be a great help for Huckleberry for building confidence and a healthy relationship with his new family. This is important and will give you the tools to work on independence training.
He is likely to be good with other dogs. We do not yet know how he is with cats and small animals.
There is an application in for me.

Akida
Breed: Domestic Long Hair - Brown Tabby
Sex: Neutered male
Age: Approximately 1 1/2 years old
Disposition: Shy - Must be adopted with Sarabi
@ Shelter: 5/19/2009
|
|
Description:
Sarabi and Akida came from a home that had over 50 cats which were not being properly cared for. When they arrived back in May of 2009, they were somewhat undersocialized kittens who were unsure of human interaction. After having months of positive experiences with our staff here at the shelter, these two beautiful cats have gained confidance in themselves and people. Now they will happily come up to their cage door to say hello! Akida is certainly the more confidant of the two and can be a protective of Sarabi if she is scared. Even though she is a bit more timid, Sarabi is a very curious girl, especially of people. And as they become more comfortable in their new environment, we see them developing into loving adults! Because they are so dependant upon each other, they must go to a home together. It is likely they will be good with other cats since they lived with so many in their previous home. Their new family will need to be understanding of their unusual circumstance and allow them the time they need to settle in - it will take a while. Ideally, a quiet, low-stress home is what they are looking for.

Brooklyn came to the shelter as a Stray early in January 2010. He is a sweet and loving boy who comes when you call him, and loves to give lots of head butts. He absolutely loves being brushed, and especially likes playing with toys that hang from string. He is very curious and can't wait to get to a new home with lots of new places to explore! Unfortunately, Brooklyn was living outdoors before he came to the shelter and contracted FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) which is essentially the cat equivalent to HIV in humans. But don't worry, it's nothing that people or other species can catch, so they can live long and wonderful lives with their people friends and other animals friends, like dogs, hamsters and bunnies; just not other cats.

Anyone who is considering taking Brooklyn home should speak with their vet ahead of time to discuss any concerns they may have with taking on a cat who is FIV positive. More detailed information about FIV will be provided during the adoption meeting as well. You won't regret opening up your home to this beautiful and loving kitty!

I came to the shelter as a stray. I had been seen outside for quite some time. I was in pretty rough shape, but now I'm ready to go to a new home. I've had some teeth removed, so I like to eat soft foods. I especially like fishy tasting ones! I'm looking for a family who will wants lots of cuddles.

Spice
Breed: Domestic Short Hair - Black
Sex: Female
Age: Approximately 4 months old
Disposition: Playful
@ Shelter: 9/7/2009
|
|
Description:
Kittens! Kittens! Kittens! What could be more fun than the bouncing bundle of joy that is a kitten? Always playful and irresistibly cute, they make a lively addition to any home! They are guaranteed to keep you entertained for hours on end with their constant crazy antics and become wonderful companions for your family. In general, kittens will fit into homes that have other pets as they are young and adaptable (just make sure your pets are ready for a rambunctious sibling!). Kittens under the age of 6 months aren't highly recommended for families with small children due to their sometimes over the top style of play and because their true personalities aren't fully developed at this age.

Cadeaux
Breed: Lab - Red
Sex: Neutered male
Age: Approximately 1 year old
Disposition: Friendly and very boisterous
@ Shelter: 1/23/2010
|
|
Description:
Cadeaux came to the shelter from another rescue organization and is orginally from Montreal. He is a very sweet boy but also very active. High activity level is typical for a young lab, but when he has been exercised he can be very snuggly and loves to give kisses!
He is not very interested in toys but absolutely LOVES a tennis ball. Cadeaux will need some practice to learn how to catch the ball, but he knows how to keep his eye on it wherever it goes!
Dog experience and a 14+ family is recommended when adopting Cadeaux. While he is a very sweet boy, he is also very much a big puppy with big puppy behaviours. Remember that he is an adolescent so he is in the testing his people stage of life. That means he will push the envelop a bit.
Training school is absolutely mandatory! As previously mentioned, Cadeaux is still very much a puppy in his behaviours and so he must learn good obedience skills. This will give him a chance to also build a happy and healthy relationship with his new family.
Cadeaux was adopted out and returned. He was too playful for the existing older dog in the family.
Application in for Cadeaux.

Honey

Sex: Neutered male - DECLAWED
Age: Approximately 9 years old
Disposition: Friendly - Must be adopted with Ginger
@ Shelter: 11/27/2009
|
|
Description:
Honey came into the shelter with his brother, Ginger, back in November of 2009. Unfortunately, their owner was no longer able to care for them, but because these two handsome boys have lived together for so long, they must go to their new home together. They have always been indoor-only cats and because they are declawed, they absolutely must be indoor cats in their new home, too. You will be hard-pressed to find sweeter boys than Honey and Ginger - their gentle names match their gentle personalities. They have adjusted incredibly well to the shelter environment and can often be found at the front of their cages looking for attention from anyone and everyone! Honey is the more independent of the two; he loves to spend time on the windowsill enjoying the view of the birds! Once he's had his fill of that, he will come over and nuzzle up to you, asking for a snuggle or brush session. Keep in mind... once you start petting Honey, you won't be able to stop! This boy is a purring and nuzzling machine! If you think you can give these boys the retirement home of their dreams, please ask the front desk to see them out of their cage!

Tully
Breed: Domestic Short Hair - Orange Tabby
Sex: Neutered male
Age: Approximately 6.0 years old
Disposition: Very sweet and affectionate - FIV positive
@ Shelter: 8/6/2009
|
|
Description:
Tully came into the shelter as a stray. He is an absolutely adorable boy; big, handsome and sweet as can be. Tully is lots of fun to have around as he loves to cuddle and has a lot of love to give.
Unfortunately, Tully was living outdoors before he came to the shelter and contracted FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) which is essentially the cat equivalent to HIV in humans. But don't worry, it's nothing that people or other species can catch, so they can live long and wonderful lives with their people friends and other animals friends, like dogs, hamsters and bunnies; just not other cats. FIV passes through the saliva, so a fight between cats, even if it's in play, can possibly transfer the virus. It's safer for a cat like Tully to live in a home where he would be the only cat or where the other cats are FIV positive. He needs to live with a family who is dedicated to keeping him strictly indoors and who are prepared for keeping up with regular vet care including annual exams and vaccines. Anyone who is considering taking Tully home should speak with their vet ahead of time to discuss any concerns they may have with taking on a cat who is FIV positive. More detailed information about FIV will be provided during the adoption meeting as well.
You won't regret opening up your home to this beautiful and loving kitty!

Keiko
Breed: Siberian Husky - Silver and White
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 4 years old
Disposition: Intelligent, Active Boy!
@ Shelter: 12/04/2009
|
|
Description:
Keiko was originally adopted from the ODHS 2 years ago and has been brought back for adoption as his previous owner's situation has changed and they are no longer able to care for him. Keiko is a very sweet and exceptional husky dog but will need a confident leader to guide him kindly and show him leadership. He is also strong puller on leash and will need to work on this with his new owner(s). Training school is a must as Keiko's new family will need to develop a healthy leadership relationship with him and teach him some good walking skills. Keiko needs a home with ADULTS ONLY as he does not have any previous experience with children and he can be suspicious of new people. Keiko does not appear to have much interest in toys but will very much enjoy a snuggle after being tired out from a long walk. He seems to be okay with cats.

Description:
Mikey was surrendered to the shelter in November 2009 by his owers as they were no longer able to care for him. He has a very playful and friendly disposition and loves playing with lots of toys. Mikey tends to get mouthy when he doesn't get his way, and when he gets too excited when playing. For this reason we are looking for a home with children 10+ for him, as he can be a bit too much for younger kids.

Description:
Jake and Jamie were found as stays in August of 2009. they came in with Upper Respiratory (UR), basically a cat cold/flu. Since here they have both flared up with it a few times, leading us to believe they have Chronic Upper Respiratory. This means that throughout their lives, they may exhibit signs of this virus at times of stress. Because of this, they are looking for a lower stress home. In addition, they should be in homes without cats unless they have Chronic UR as well. This is because UR can spread to other cats easily through sneezes, saliva, etc. If you would like to get to know these sweet boys outside of their cage, please ask at the front desk.

Perry came into the shelter along with his siblings when they were only a day old. He came from a home where there were too many rats who were having a few too many babies! He is now old enough to be away from Mom, and is looking for his forever home. Rats are quite the social animals and make wonderful pets. They often do enjoy the company of other same sex rats as roommates. Perry is still very young, so will likely need some socializing to get him to his full snuggle potential, but he should make a very sweet companion to his new people friends!

Brock came to ODHS as a stray at the end of July 2009. He is a sweet boy who loves to be affectionate with those he trusts and is comfortable with.
Brock has shown food bowl resource guarding while at shelter and has undergone a strict behaviour modification program for this concern. This is why he has been here since the end of July.

Step by step instructions will be provided by the ODHS Animal Behaviour Coordinator. 1-2 private, in-house, lessons with the ODHS Animal Behaviour Coordinator will be provided post-adoption to help with potential resource guarding in the home.
We are looking for an adult only family for Brock due to food bowl resource guarding and lack of known experience with children. His new family should also have primary care experience with a shepherd or other large breed dog. Brock is a sweet boy but is also a strong boy who can be a little pushy at times. He absolutely MUST attend Obedience Training School. It is important that Brock learn to listen to his new owner as a confident leader - there is no better place to this than in a class setting!
Brock is likely to be good with other dogs and loves to play fetch with any ball that bounces!
Black and brindle - picture to follow soon.

Abby
Breed: Domestic Medium Hair
Sex: Spayed Female
Age: Approximately 8 years old
Disposition: Reserved
@ Shelter: 6/30/2009
|
|
Description:
Abby came into the shelter when her owners were no longer able to care for her. She can play a bit of hard to get when she first meets you, but she is actually dying for you to give her some loving... she just doesn't want you to know it! She's a bit of a rotund older lady, and may benefit from a bit of diet and exercise in her new home.

Rex
Breed: Domestic Short Hair - Brown Tabby
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 2 1/2 years old
Disposition: Very Active and playful
@ Shelter: 8/18/2009
|
|
Description:
Rex was brought to the shelter by his owners because he did not do well living with children. He has a history of urinating on the childrens things due to stress, so Rex needs a quiet, low-stress home where he can be the centre of attention. He may do okay in a home with a quiet dog, but he will need to be tested before being sent home.
Don't let his history discourage you! Rex is a great boy who will flourish in the right home! He's very active and playful and will be a lot of fun for the right family.

Buster
Breed: German Shepherd Mix
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 7 years old
Disposition: Calm and quiet
@ Shelter: 6/19/2009
|
|
Description:
Buster was brought to the shelter by his owners who were no longer able to care for him. He is a very sweet boy who loves to go for walks and relax with a few of his favorite human friends. Buster is on medication as he suffers from epilepsy. His epilepsy is currently being controlled by his medications. Buster is on two medications; both are given to him in the morning and only one in the evening. These medications control his seizures and are easy to administer. As long as he remains on the medication he is seizure free. Buster is looking for an Adult home due to his special needs and appreciation for peace and quiet. Living arrangements are a consideration only because minimal stairs are recommended due to his hind end being sore from dysplasia. Training school is always a good idea and helpful for building a great bond between Buster and his new family, but is not required.
Buster is good with dogs and if there was a cat in his potential home we could do a cat test. He is an easy going guy who would likely adapted to a new home very quickly. He will make the right family a great companion.

Bojangles
Breed: Domestic Short Hair (DSH) - Orange Tabby and White
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 4 1/2 years old
Disposition: Very Affectionate and loving
@ Shelter: 3/15/2009
|
|
Description:
Mr. Bojangles came into the shelter as a stray. He wasn't here for too long before he was adopted, but he was having a few issues in the home and had to come back to the shelter. You see, Mr. Bojangles is a rather robust cat and he was having a hard time making it to the litter box and therefore had some accidents around the house. We have spent a few months working closely with him and monitoring his litter box habits and he has done very well. It looks like he will simply need to have a somewhat limited living space where he has easy access to a nice BIG litter box. That should do the trick! Likely as he settles into a home and loses weight, he will be able to travel further to his bathroom, but that will take some time. Mr. Bojangles is on a diet which he should remain on until he has reached a healthier weight and lots of interaction and playtime will also help him shed any extra pounds. He has the most amazingly sweet personality and is as goofy as they get (watch out when he gets a hold of catnip!). He gets along with everyone and is a huge snuggle bug who can't get enough attention from his people. It would be best for Mr. Bojangles to live in a quiet and low stress home where he can be the centre of attention.

Smirnoff
Breed: Domestic Short Hair (DSH) - Black
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 1 year old
Disposition: Sociable
@ Shelter: 7/25/2008
|
|
Description:
Smirnoff came into the shelter last summer as a stray kitten. He earned his name due to a run in with some antifreeze that required a very unique vodka treatment at the vet! He's all better now and has grown into a strong and healthy cat. Smirnoff has hung around for a little bit longer than some of the cats because he's not always super comfortable with people. He needs a very special home with a family who understands that he might not be a cuddly cat, and is more interested in exploring and independent play time. Smirnoff may benefit from living with a more confident and social cat who can teach him how to act like a pet cat! He has interacted with other cats here, and would be best suited to a cat who can keep up with his rough and tumble style of play. Lots of patience, treats, toys and understanding will go a long way with this little guy and he hopes someone comes along who is looking to take on a special kitty just like him.
* Smirnoff has spent some time in a foster home and did very well with his people as well as his cat and dog friends. Now that he knows what a home is like he's definitely ready to go to his forever family!

Beamer
Breed: Domestic Short Hair - Black with some white hairs on his chest
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 1 year old
Disposition: Playful and personable - Adult Home
@ Shelter: 3/15/2009
|
|
Description:
Beamer came into the shelter as a stray. He's a handsome, lanky fellow who is playful and personable. Beamer is definitely an energetic guy and is looking for a home where his people will keep him busy with lots of toys and activity. He may do well with other pets to keep him entertained and testing will be done if applicants already have animals at home. While Beamer is a nice cat who enjoys being pet, he doesn't always appreciate lots of handling and can get a little too excited when playing. For this reason we wouldn't recommend him for a home with small children.

Zucchini
Breed: Domestic Short Hair (DSH) - Black and White
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 5 years old
Disposition: Friendly
@ Shelter: 6/15/2009
|
|
Description:
Zuchinni came into the shelter as a stray in June of last year. He did have a bit of a rough time settling in, but is feeling much more relaxed in the adoption area now. He is a very independent boy who is more interested in exploring the room than playing with toys. Zuchinni does enjoy to be brushed on his head and shoulders, but will let you know when he's had enough! Once he trusts you, he will ask for head pats and stay on your lap to get them. He is declawed, so he must remain an indoor-only cat. Because Zuchinni can be a little unpredictable at times and prefers a calm environment, it is best that he does not go to a home with children. Instead, Zuchinni is looking for a home with adults who will understand his need for personal space.

Drew
Breed: Domestic Short Hair (DSH)
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 2 1/2 years old
Disposition: Playful
@ Shelter: 12/7/2008
|
|
Description:
Drew came into the shelter as a stray. He is a dashing and handsome young man with a personality to match. He was a little upset when he first arrived here at the shelter, but now seems to have settled in nicely. His new family should keep this in mind when bringing him home, and should be prepared for a kitty that needs his own space to start. Once he's comfortable he is a lovely boy, who is playful, perky and attentive. He enjoys checking out his surroundings and getting lots of attention from his people friends. Drew likely would not be a good choice for young children.

Description:
Splash came into the shelter as a stray. She's very sweet and waiting patiently to find her perfect forever family. Splash is a perky and playful girl who enjoys hanging out with her people friends and getting a good grooming from head to toe. She is not a huge fan of other cats here at the shelter, so it would be recommended that she go to a home where she can be the one and only feline. A happy girl who would make a fun and cute companion.

Pablo
Breed: Domestic Short Hair (DSH) - Charcoal grey and white
Sex: Neutered Male
Age: Approximately 3 years old
Disposition: Independent
@ Shelter: 10/30/2008

|
Description:
Pablo came into the shelter as a stray. He's a big, good looking guy whose favourite activity is window watching. He just can't get enough of watching all the fun and excitement of the world from the safety of the window sill. Pablo especially loves when a bird flies by - his tail starts to twitch and he chirps away at them. He isn't much of a lap cat, but won't protest a few snuggles and ear scratches in between his window watching adventures. Pablo would be best suited for a family with adults or older children as he is somewhat timid and startles easily with loud noise and quick movements.Pablo is one of our long term residents. He has been with us for over a year. We wish he could find his special family because he really is a great cat for the right people.

Mice
Breed: Mouse
Sex: Male
Age: 3.5 months
Disposition: Small and Squeaky
@ Shelter: July 2008
|

Description:
On July 7 of 2008 the shelter was blessed with many bundles of mouse joy! It’s amazing how many babies one pregnant mouse can have, and now 3 months later we have a bunch still looking for homes. All the ladies were lucky enough to get adopted, but our boys are still waiting to find new homes. They are an easy to maintain pet who are fun to watch as they run in their wheel, munch away on their food, or sleep curled up in one of their many play tubes. And if you’re a fan of cheese, then their names are sure to please; Gouda, Havarti, Munster, Mozzarella, Monterey Jack and Cheddar. Think about adding a mouse to your house!
