Misty - "I am a Labrador, female, about 10 yrs old. I am looking for a foster/adoptive home. Here is a bio by my foster mom who can no longer foster me due to moving." Misty is truly a people person. She loves to meet and greet people and will sit patiently when asked to do. Responds to lay down will watch your every movement for a sign of recognition. Thrives on attention anytime. Misty also is a very good sleeper; she will wake when I do and is ready for her first walk in the morning, she does her bathroom needs and is happy to return home. No accident ever in the house and she will let you know when she needs to go. When I leave her alone to go shopping she will lay at the front door and stay there until I return. Mystic has 'cushings' disease and needs a medication capsule that is placed in the food at morning and suppertime. This lovely natured dog will respond well to a loving home and is no trouble to care for." Please contact MHS 905-271-0883.

Shadow - I am a Labrador X, male, 4-5 years old, about 75 lbs. I am looking for a new home due to the change of lifestyle of my current family. I am very active and energetic, and need a home that can provide me the necessary exercise, play and attention. Due to my energy level, size and strength, a strong and experienced owner with a firm hand is preferred, as I can be dominant at times. I can be uncomfortable with strangers at first, and may bark at them, but with a little time and patience, I can be your friend for life. I am very loyal to and protective of my family; and can be a good guard dog as I am alert and bark when stranger is nearby. I am very intelligent and understand many commands. I am attending obedience classes and am getting easier to control! Surrendered July 2008. Contact Burleigh 905-607-7294

Ol Shep - Ol Shep needs a long-term foster home or adoptive home! This 10 year old cocker spaniel has been bounced around from home to home since his previous owner passed away. He really needs a long term, stable and patient home where he can stay until he finally outgrows his bad habit of resource guarding. He should be the only dog in the home, but he is good with cats. Ol Shep is a sweet old guy about 95% of the time. He loves going for walks and never pulls on the leash. He adores being around people - he'll follow you around the house and curl up at your feet whenever you sit down. Unfortunately, the other 5% of the time he can be bad. He can bite if he feels his space is invaded, or HIS possessions are 'threatened'. He knows several commands, including sit, go lie down, come, and off, and he is crate trained. He loves having his tummy scratched and will happily go belly-up for complete strangers. He does sometimes growl/cry when pet, which has scared more than a few people off, but it's actually kind of endearing once you're used to it! Shep has the potential to be a really good dog, but he needs a little work to get there. Unfortunately, because of his age, training is an uphill battle. Ol Shep needs to be treated as a dog who respects his leader (you!), more than a pet! He should go to a knowledgeable dog owner with a very firm hand. Please contact MHS 905-271-0883(direct line) for more information.

Tina - I am a Labrador-Shepherd cross, female, about 9 years old. I am looking for a foster/adoptive home. Here is a bio by my former foster mom: "Tina is super-friendly with everyone she meets, including kids, and is a lovely doggie companion... she is going to make a GREAT family pet. She is in an excellent shape for her age, still active and playful. She loves to go on walkies and play with other dogs at the dog park. Playing fetch and tug-of-war are her favorite pastimes. She would be ideally suited to a family with a fenced-in backyard or with a park nearby for daily play. She is a very smart girl and knows all her tricks (sit, pretty, shake paw, other one, lie down). She pulls on her leash when excited, but with consistent training she will improve." Please contact MHS 905-271-0883 or emailinfo@mississaugahumanesociety.com. Surrendered June 2008.

Kenny - I'm Kenny, and I really need a break. I was found near frozen and dehydrated on someone's porch. Although I was close to death, the Mississauga Humane Society took me in and nursed me back to health. I've been neutered - in fact, the picture you see was taken when I was still under from the operation. I look better when I'm awake. ;-) I'm about 8 years old. There are a couple things about me you need to know. First of all I tested positive for the Feline AIDS virus. That means that I can still have a long life, but I need to either be the only cat in a home or live with another cat who is positive for Feline AIDS. Please know that this disease does not transfer to people or dogs or any other species - just cats. There's one other thing - I have a handicap and the way I walk has been described as like a duck. I have pulled through everything and am doing well, and now I really need someone to take me home and love me. I'm quite handsome with my pewter grey coat. If you would consider giving me a FOSTER HOME or a FOREVER HOME please call MHS at 905-271-0883 or emaillisa5@rogers.comand tell them that you want to be Kenny's angel.

Splash - I am a Tortoiseshell, DSH, female, about 6 months old. I have wonderful markings and big yellow eyes. I am enticing and striking little gal, and will make a great first impression, so please come and see me - I am waiting for you! Some great things about Splash said by her foster mom: "She comes to you to be pet and likes attention, she is quiet and well-behaved. She is used to small children and other cats so she would fit easily into your home." Rescued Sep 2007. Contact Kara 905-608-1483.
