DID YOU KNOW? Our shelter understands taking in

DID YOU KNOW?

Our shelter understands taking in a furry friend can be an exciting, but somewhat nerve-wracking experience for new adopters. We have many followers ask what our "ON TRIAL" caption means. So, what does it mean?

The TBDHS is happy to provide a two week adoption trial for all adult dogs to ensure it is the right fit for both the dog, and the adopters. Depending on the personality of the dog - this can also be extended, or in many cases shortened to be finalized (yay!). During the adoption trial, supplies are provided in addition to any help our team can offer to make it the best fit possible.

Looking for a canine companion to add to your family? Visit our availables at www.tbdhs.ca/adoption and find your best friend today! 🐾

Fostering truly saves lives. Norman’s story is a

Fostering truly saves lives. Norman’s story is a perfect example of how a little love and care can make a big difference ❤

When Norman first came to us, he was severely matted and weighed over 30 pounds. His condition was worrying and it was clear that he needed urgent attention and a change in lifestyle. Obesity in animals can lead to serious health risks. They are at higher risk for heart disease, diabetes, respiratory problems, arthritis, limited mobility and a reduced quality of life overall. Norman’s obesity was not only affecting his daily comfort but also his long term health, which is why his weight loss journey is so crucial.

Thanks to the amazing foster family who took him in, he’s already beginning to lose weight and feel better every day. However, Norman is still on his road to recovery, and we need your help to continue providing the care he needs.

As he has a very long road ahead of him, we are asking for donations to help cover Norman’s ongoing medical care, food, and weight management as he continues his recovery. Your support can also help us provide essential care to other animals in need. Additionally, we’re always looking for new foster homes to help save more lives.

If you are able to make a monetary donation, please visit tbdhs.ca/donation. In the note, please add "for Norman." Interested in fostering animals in need? Apply today at tbdhs.ca/foster or contact Tina at (807) 475-8803 for more information.

Whether you donate, foster, or simply share Norman’s story, your help matters. Together, we can continue to provide care for animals like Norman and give them the second chances they deserve 🐾

Lola is still looking for her forever home ❤ Th

Lola is still looking for her forever home ❤

This gorgeous three-year-old boxer mix is approximately heart full of love (once she’s given a little time to trust you). When Lola feels comfortable and secure, she’ll stick to you like glue always seeking affection and companionship.

Lola is energetic and loves outdoor activities like playing fetch and hiking, making her the perfect adventure buddy. Outdoors she’s full of energy, but inside she’s a complete snuggle bug always ready to curl up by your side.

While she can be a bit aloof at times, Lola is incredibly smart and knows how to charm her people when she trusts them. She’s best suited for a calm, confident adopter who can give her the space she needs to adjust and thrive. Lola enjoys the company of dogs in neutral environments but she’s not comfortable coexisting with other dogs in a home. She is also not very fond of cats so a feline free home would be ideal.

Lola can be a little jumpy around kids, but she’s generally good with them. She’s a bit needy at times, but in return, she’ll offer you her unwavering loyalty and love once you’ve earned her trust.

If you're looking for a sweet, energetic companion who will be your loyal sidekick once she’s settled in, Lola could be the perfect match for you! Apply today at tbdhs.ca/adoption or contact (807) 475-8803 for more information 🐾

Felix is a sweet eight-month-old who was recently

Felix is a sweet eight-month-old who was recently surrendered into our care due to a lifestyle change with his owner. This playful and loving little cat is adjusting well and already showing his affectionate side. Although he just arrived yesterday, Felix has been nothing but friendly and loves meeting new people.

Felix has coexisted with a dog but we are unsure about cats. He would likely do well with children as long as they respect his boundaries.

If you’re looking for a charming companion who will shower you with love, Felix could be the perfect addition to your family. Apply today at tbdhs.ca/adoption or contact (807) 475-8803 for more information 🐾

Looking for a dog with a trophy worthy personality

Looking for a dog with a trophy worthy personality? Meet Lola, the three-year-old boxer mix who’s traded in her skates and ribbons for cozy naps and endless belly rubs.

Once an Olympic figure skater and ribbon dancer, Lola now spends her days perfecting the art of relaxation - because let’s face it, being a world class athlete is exhausting.

Lola’s early career was nothing short of dazzling. Known for her dazzling pirouettes and graceful ribbon twirls, she was a crowd favorite at the Winter Games - until she retired early to pursue her dream of napping on soft blankets and sunbathing.

As a retired athlete, Lola is looking for her forever home where she can enjoy a slower paced life, with just the right balance of play and pampering. She was noted to well with children in the household, but can be a bit picky with her opponents..er, canine housemates. She is a bit unsure about feline friends as well. Lola never had a partner who could keep up with her on the rink, so she’s still figuring out how to share space with another performer.

If you’re looking for a dog with star quality (who’s also content to simply be your couch companion) Lola might just be your perfect match. Apply today at tbdhs.ca/adoption or contact our team at (807) 475-8803 for more information 🐾

#ADOPTED #WeeklyWrapUp

Introducing our new Special Sunday feature! In add

Introducing our new Special Sunday feature! In addition to our Senior Sundays, each Special Sunday will be focusing on our animals who require some extra love from their potential adopters.

Meet Mustachio ❤

Mustachio is a charming one-year-old male cat who is looking for his perfect match. With his cute moustache and gentle demeanor, he’s sure to steal your heart. He’s currently on a special urinary food to help manage some crystals in his urine, a condition that was likely caused by stress from changes in his previous home including the arrival of a new baby.

Mustachio would thrive best in a calm and peaceful home where he can feel relaxed and secure. A patient adopter who understands the importance of providing a stable environment would be the ideal fit for this sweet boy. Mustachio was previously in a home with other cats and did well, so he’d be happy to share his space with feline friends. However, he hasn’t lived with dogs, and his preference for them is unknown.

When it comes to children, Mustachio may be best suited for a home with older kids who can respect his need for space and a calm environment.

If you think Mustachio could be the purrfect fit for your home, apply today at tbdhs.ca/adoption or call (807) 475-8803 for more information 🐾

We are incredibly grateful to receive an amazing donation of wishlist items for our animals from the Grade 7 students at Westmount Public School
🥰

They collected these items as an initiative for a class project called “genius hour”. As a non-profit organization, these funds are incredibly beneficial to continue the work that we do.

Thank you Caysie, Trinity and Jaxx! 🐾

Meet Louise, a gentle one-year-old Retriever Mix w

Meet Louise, a gentle one-year-old Retriever Mix with a heart full of potential ❤

Louise has had a bit of a rough beginning, veering her away from the typical “happy go lucky” Retriever personality. This has made her a bit fearful of the world around her. Right now, she’s wary of things as simple as a piece of paper falling off a counter. She would thrive in a quiet home where she can take her time adjusting and building confidence, with an adopter who can show her the world isn’t such a scary place.

This sweet girl is a velcro dog however, meaning she’s incredibly loyal to her person once she bonds. She’ll follow you everywhere once she feels safe. While Louise is sweet and affectionate, she’s not a fan of other pets and would prefer to be the only animal in the household. We also recommend no children in the home.

Because of her limited socialization Louise will need an experienced, patient adopter who can help her grow and feel secure. She has the potential to thrive with the right person, but she’ll need time, love, and consistency to build the confidence she’s been missing.

If you’re ready to offer Louise the calm and patient environment she deserves, we would love to hear from you. Apply today at tbdhs.ca/adoption or contact our team at (807) 475-8803 for more information 🐾

Chanie is surprisingly still looking for his forev

Chanie is surprisingly still looking for his forever home! ❤️

From Chanie’s wonderful Foster:
“We have had the pleasure of Fostering Chanie for the last week or so, and boy, is he a huge ball of energy. At only 4 months old, he goes potty outside, and would stay out there all day if you let him.

He doesn’t seem to pay mind to the local wildlife in the yard (birds & squirrels), nor the people and dogs walking down the back pathway.

On a leash, he has not reacted to the other dogs and prefers to actively sniff and taste everything, still trying to learn what stuff is.

Because he is still a puppy and currently losing his teeth, he does like to chew - a lot. He loves alone time in his crate to devour a Bully Stick.

His favourite game is tug a war with a knotted rope. He loves to drag my Jack Russel around the room while the Jack hangs on.

He gets along great with every dog we have introduced him to. As well as adult humans. He didn’t seem to care if children were near, but I also kept him back due to his hyper puppyness.

He prefers praise over treats when it comes to learning, and loves to be told he’s a good boy. He loves to cuddle on the lap, give kisses, and sleep with his human.

At night time, he goes to his crate when you say bedtime, and is great at staying there all night. Bedtime is 10:30 and we wake up at 6 am. When I have to leave the house, he stays in his crate without crying till I get back.

Anyone who adopts this big bundle of joy will have an amazing companion for life. He is such a Good Happy Boy.”
