Velasco a sweet girl who has been building her confidence throughout her time in the shelter.

Alvin is a quiet observer who is looking for a thoughtful family willing to let him explore the world at his own speed. He is highly motivated by the company of fellow canines and feels his absolute bravest when he has a confident dog friend around to show him the ropes. Once Alvin feels safe and comfortable, his incredibly affectionate side shines through; he absolutely loves gentle neck scratches behind his ears and will happily lean into your hands for a quiet moment of connection. He is a curious boy who enjoys peaceful outdoor spaces where he can quietly sniff the grass and take in his surroundings.

If you have a peaceful home, a heart for gentle souls, and perhaps even a confident dog friend ready to welcome a new sibling, please ask us about Alvin today.

This observant lady is a calm companion who appreciates a soft, reassuring approach while she gets comfortable in new surroundings. Our team has noted that Evie shows a lovely, sweet curiosity; she likes to watch interactive wand toys and will happily step forward to sniff your fingers and accept gentle head scratches. Once she feels secure, her affectionate side really shines, and she will sweetly lean into your hand for pets and stay close by for quiet companionship. She will be a wonderful fit for a patient guardian looking to share a gentle bond.

If you are looking for a quiet, gentle companion to bring a sense of calm and steady affection to your home, please stop by today to meet Evie.

This clever guy is a true toy enthusiast who loves to proudly carry a favourite toy in his mouth on walks, show off his impressive “down” command, and play enthusiastic games of fetch and tug-of-war. While Eli can start his days with a burst of high-energy excitement, which leads to some jumpiness and pulling, he settles beautifully into a calm, loose-leash stroll once he gets his initial energy out or works with treats. He does well around distractions, showing focus by calmly ignoring bikes, people, and even other dogs reacting to him out on his walks.

Eli is looking for a patient adopter who can continue his reward-based training and appreciate his affectionate, reassurance-seeking nature, promising to be an incredibly loyal, fun-loving, and rewarding addition to the family!

He is a very loving angel who cares for you by being all over your personal space because he just loves snuggling. Whenever he is ready for a nap, he finds the first human in sight and lays directly on top of them. He does not settle for less… he must be as close to you as possible because humans are the perfect cushions for a big fella like him! Additionally, he enjoys a good catnip toy, as well as sitting by the window for some birdwatching on a nice sunny day.

Batman needs to be on prescription urinary food due to his cystitis. He is good with some cats, and untested with children and dogs. If you are a big fan of Batman, and are ready to relinquish your personal space, please contact/reach out to Team Cat Rescue today!
