Adopt a Dog

We insist that you come here, to Thunder Bay, Ontario, to pick up your puppy or dog! This way you meet your new furfriend before you fill out the paperwork to confirm your adoption! ALL ADOPTIONS ARE $325 UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE. A $100 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED TO SECURE YOUR DOG OR PUPPY.

PLEASE NOTE:

YOU MUST HAVE A VET TO ADOPT THROUGH PAWS FOR LOVE!

If you’re a client with Thunder Bay Veterinary Hospital, their regulations stipulate that you must contact them, state that you give Paws for Love permission to confirm you are a client, and then you must contact us at info@paws4love.ca and let us know that we have your permission to confirm your file is active. Failure to do so may result in your inability to adopt. We suggest that whatever clinic you use, that you inform them that you give Paws for Love consent to affirm your file is active and you’re able to add another dog to your file.

Thank you for your patience while we deal with the veterinarian shortage in Thunder Bay.

MAVERICK

Meet Maverick!

This handsome little guy came into care with a leg injury and still found plenty of ways to play. He’s full of energy, loves being the centre of attention, and will greet you with just as much excitement first thing in the morning as he does when you get home from work.

Maverick has done well with the kids he’s met so far. He loves playing with the younger puppies in his foster home, though he sometimes gets a little rough and needs a reminder to take a break.

He uses pee pads most of the time and can go up the stairs. He’s still working up the courage to come back down, and car rides aren’t his favourite.

If you’re looking for a lovable, playful buddy who’s always happy to see you, Maverick would love to meet you!

He is going on 3 months, has 2 vaccines, and is microchipped and dewormed. If you would like to meet him, please fill out an adoption application below.

HOPE

GOING ON A TRIAL!

Hi, everyone! My name is Hope and I’m a 1-year-old mixed breed and weigh around 60 pounds. I’m so grateful that I was rescued about 6 weeks ago. Life is incredibly wonderful now and I’m so lucky to be here. I gave birth to 13 puppies up north on a very secluded reserve and my puppies were so weak and sickly. Some died and there was no help for me. I became very skinny and I tried my best to save them. It took a couple days but this man put me on a small plane and flew me out but I only had 7 pups left. I came into this rescue with so much love to give and they helped me right away. I had a blood infection and was put on meds for 2 weeks. Wow! This made a big change but because I was on medication my puppies had to be taken away from me and bottle fed for a week. Five survived. They will be at our next meet and greet! They are such wonderful and healthy happy puppies now!

It’s time for me to start a new life of my own. I would love to have someone who is around lots and maybe another dog. I’m super good with cats, I love kids and most of all – I love to cuddle. I’m learning how to walk on a leash and not to pull – even though I think it’s fun to do lol. I have 2 vaccines and my spay, rabies, and microchip is booked with my amazing vet, Dr. Soni, who saved me. If you would like to meet me, please fill out an adoption application below. I would love to do a trial with you!

SOOKIE

GONE ON A TRAIL!

Sookie is a graceful and agile one-year-old 45 lb female dog with glossy black hair and light brown legs, looking like she’s got some German Shepherd in her except for being more finely featured. She’s lived the first year of her life with another female a little younger and smaller than her and would do better with another dog in the household. She’s also lived at times with young children. She’s very good at playing, entertaining herself with her toys or whatever else is available for her to toss in the air and catch. In the house, especially on a bad weather day or later in the day, she may ask you to toss something she brings you so she can catch it. She’s an emotionally stable dog and loves going in the car, especially to places to go for walks. Sookie is spayed and microchipped and all of her vaccinations are up to date. If you would like to meet Sookie, fill out an adoption application below.

FRANKLIN

GONE ON A TRIAL!

Hello, my name is Franklin and I’m a one-year-old, 50 lb male Lab mix breed looking for my furever home. I’m such a gentle soul and very friendly with everyone. I’m great with dogs of all sizes, super – REALLY SUPER – with kids, and as far as cats go, I haven’t met one but since I’m so eager to please, I think I can get along with them with the proper introduction.

I’m completely housetrained, sleep through the night, great on a leash, and I know how to sit and lie down. I’m working on my recall, which I may add is coming along quite nicely. I also love these new things called stuffies. Gosh I have fun making them squeak!

I’ve been vaccinated, dewormed neutered and microchipped If you would like to meet me and do a trial, I’d love to show you just how amazing I am. Just fill out an adoption application below and my foster will contact you. BTW, my foster said she would love to keep me – I’m that amazing! – but she can’t.

SHOESTRING

Hi, I’m Shoestring one of the “fry” litter. I’m a 6 week lab mix male pup and although I’m one of the smallest in my litter, don’t let my size fool you! I’m big on play and adventure. I’m good with dogs of all sizes, cats, and awesome with kids. I’m microchipped, dewormed and will have two vaccines when I’m ready to join my family on November 14th.
