    Frankie Malloy is on a SPECIAL MISSION to find “Francesca and Arie a Forever Family”.

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    There’s something truly special about walking into a shelter and locking eyes with an animal that seems to choose you just as much as you choose them. Rescuing a cat or dog from the humane society brings a kind of joy that’s hard to put into words — a deep, warm sense of purpose knowing you’ve given a living creature a second chance at a loving home. For the individual, the bond that forms is immediate and profound; studies have shown that pet ownership reduces stress, lowers blood pressure, and eases feelings of loneliness and anxiety. Coming home to a wagging tail or a purring companion after a long day has a way of putting everything in perspective. For families, the benefits multiply — children learn empathy, responsibility, and compassion by helping care for a rescue pet, and the animal quickly becomes the heart of the household, bringing everyone together in laughter and play. There’s also the quiet pride of knowing your pet didn’t come from a breeder or a store window, but from a place where they were waiting, hoping, and finally found their person — or their whole family.

    Pawsome furiends!  Share far and wide to find our furry friends a new home – Love, Frankie Malloy


    Meet Arie

    georgian-bay-news-com-image

    Arie is a 2 years, 1 month old female Domestic Longhair/Mix cat who weighs 3 kilograms.

    Hi there… I’m Arie, and I’m basically a professional sweetheart.

    If you’re looking for a kitty who loves love, you’ve found her! I absolutely adore attention – the more, the better. Chin scratches? Yes, please. Those are my absolute favorite. I’ll lean right in and soak up every second. I also enjoy being brushed (it keeps me looking fabulous, of course), and I can’t resist chasing a wand toy. Wave one around and watch me show off my impressive hunting skills!

    When it comes to snacks, I’m not shy. I happily accept Temptations and Churu tubes – and I’ll probably remind you when it’s treat time. A girl has standards, after all.

    I do prefer to be your one and only furry friend, as I’m not a fan of sharing my home with other cats or dogs. I can do well with kids, especially when there’s supervision and everyone understands basic feline body language. Gentle hands and respectful cuddles make me very happy.

    My adoption fee is $225, and it includes everything I need to go home with you-my spay/neuter, up-to-date vaccinations, internal and external parasite treatments, and a microchip ID. Want to learn more about me? Come visit me at the GTHS and chat with one of our amazing Adoption Counsellors! We are open for adoptions every day from 12:00-4:00 pm.

    Lots of purrs,

    Arie

    Meet Francesca

    georgian-bay-news-com-image

    Francesca is a 3 years, 1 month old female Large Mixed Breed who weighs 39 kilograms

    Hi there… I’m Francesca

    I’m a 3-year-old fluffy beauty with the softest coat and eyes you can absolutely melt into (or so I’ve been told!). I may be a little shy when we first meet – especially with men – but if you give me a little time and a gentle introduction, I promise I’ll show you my sweet, loving heart. Once I know you’re safe, I’m all about connection and being close to my people.

    I’m a strong girl on leash and still polishing up my walking skills. Sometimes I get a bit excited when I see other dogs or people from a distance and might bark to say, “Oh wow, what’s happening over there?!” But with space and guidance, I settle beautifully. I’m smart and eager to learn – I just need someone patient who understands me.

    I’d love to be your one and only pup so I can soak up all the love and attention. I should also mention that I prefer not to share my food – I’ve shown some resource guarding around meals and high-value items. That just means I need clear boundaries, structured feeding routines, and humans who respect my space while I eat. With the right management and positive reinforcement training, I can continue building confidence and trust.

    Because I’m strong and can get bouncy when excited, I’d do best in a home with teens 15+ or adults who can help me stay grounded and confident.

    What I’m really looking for is a calm, predictable home with kind, experienced humans who believe in positive training and see the good girl I truly am. Give me structure, patience, and love… and I’ll give you loyalty, sweetness, and those irresistible eyes every single day

    My adoption fee is $400 and includes my spay/neuter, up to date vaccinations, dewormer and a microchip. If you want to learn more about me, please come visit the GTHS and speak with one of the amazing Adoption Counsellors! The GTHS is open for adoptions from 12pm-4:00pm, every single day of the week and they would be thrilled to introduce you to me! I can’t wait to meet you and am looking forward to starting my new life with my new family!

    Could I be your girl?
