    Meet Joey (Special Paws)

    Joey (Special Paws) is a 1 year, 7 months old male Large Mixed Breed who weighs 41 kilograms and has been with us for 47 days.

    Hello. It’s me. Joey.

    Yes, that Joey – the one with the sweetest wrinkly head, the gorgeous, soulful eyes, and a face that makes people stop mid-sentence and melt. I don’t mean to steal hearts… it just happens.

    I’m a 1.5-year-old, 90-lb love bug who is absolutely convinced I’m a tiny lap dog. Please don’t correct me. In my heart, I fit perfectly. When I love and trust you, I am goofy, affectionate, silly, and full of joy. I give top-tier hugs, enthusiastic kisses, and will happily lean my whole body into you like it’s my favorite thing (because it is).

    I came in as a bit of a mystery, and because of that, new situations can sometimes feel overwhelming. When I’m unsure, I may need a little extra space and time to feel comfortable. With patience and gentle guidance, I settle in beautifully and show off my sweet, social side.

    Once I’m feeling confident, I’m a total gentleman. I walk nicely on leash, follow cues, and love spending time with my people. Cars and bikes don’t bother me, and while I might get a little excited if I see people or other dogs, calm, structured walks help me feel successful.

    With other dogs, I’m a bit selective – I prefer a smaller inner circle and slow, thoughtful introductions. I’ve done well on controlled group walks and would likely be happiest as your one-and-only dog, soaking up all the love and attention.

    I’m looking for a home with teens 16+, patient humans who understand boundaries, and someone who believes in building trust through kindness and positive reinforcement. Bonus points if you love soft toys or rope toys – those are my jam.

    I may need a little extra understanding, but I promise to give you my whole goofy, wrinkly, oversized heart in return.

    I am in the special paws program here at the GTHS because to keep these good looks I need a special diet and some medication that keeps my skin glowing and my gorgeous eyes shining! My special paws adoption fee is $100 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!

    And let’s be honest… have you seen my face?

    Meet Evie

    Evie is a 4 years, 1 month old female Domestic Shorthair/Mix cat who weighs 4 kilograms and has been with us for 17 days.

    Hi there! My name is Evie, and I’m a 4-year-old sweet kitty with big, beautiful eyes that are sure to melt your heart. I’m a bit shy at first, so I might need a little time to feel completely at home-but once I do, I promise I’ll shower you with love (and maybe some gentle head nudges).

    I’m a huge food lover, so you can win my heart with some wet food, a Churu tube, or Temptations treats-I’m definitely not picky! When I’m not snacking, you’ll usually find me lounging in a cozy cat tree or quietly following you around , curious about what you’re up to. I get along well with other cats and would do best in a home without dogs. Kids are a yes, especially with a parent who can help me feel safe and understand my kitty language. I’m looking for a patient, loving home that will give me time to adjust and let my sweet personality shine.

    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.

    I can’t wait to meet you and start my next adventure with my family, maybe that’s you!

    If you’re ready for a gentle, affectionate companion who will reward your patience with lots of love (and maybe a treat or two), I’d love to meet you!
