Hi, my name is Rocco,

Male - neutered
Basenji Mix
Approx. 2 years old

I'm a pretty friendly guy when it comes to meeting new people. Adults, I'm your new best friend! I'm still on the fence about kids, though-so maybe we can figure that out together?

I eat at a nice, normal pace, savouring every bite like the gourmet meal it is. And speaking of savouring, treats are my ultimate motivator! Want me to sit, stay, or fetch? Just show me a yummy snack, and I'm all ears. I am quite playful with toys too, so if you're ready for some fun, I'm your pup!

I'll admit, my leash skills need a little polish. I might not be the most graceful walker on the block, but hey, that's where you come in! We can work on that together.

When it comes to other four-legged pals, I've got potential! With a little guidance and patience, I'll be ready to mingle with dogs and cats alike. I'm a social butterfly in the making!

I've got the basics down when it comes to obedience, so we're starting off on the right paw! I enter and exit kennels like a pro, but my crate and car ride skills are still a little mysterious. I'm ready for adventures with you, though-let's discover the world together!

So, if you're looking for a pup with a big heart and a playful spirit, I might just be the one for you.

Hello there, my name is Kate (Queen Kate, to be precise)

Female - pending spay
British Shorthair
Approx. 4 years old

Yes, that's right, I'm like kitty royalty. I come complete with all the grace and elegance you'd expect from a feline noble. And, just like any true queen, I have my quirks-expect nothing less from a cat who considers herself the reigning monarch of your humble abode.

As the queen of the castle, I have but one simple request: I prefer to be the only queen in your life. Sharing my space isn't exactly my cup of catnip, but don't worry-you can join me in my royal quarters.

I am affectionate, but remember, it's always on my terms. Like the wise saying goes, "A queen is never late; everyone else is simply early." So, please, be patient as I take my time to come out of my shell.

I'm very much a lady of independence. I enjoy ruling my life the way I prefer, with a soft pillow beneath me and the world at my paws. But fret not, I promise to sprinkle a bit of love and humour into your life, just like a good queen should.

Hello there, my name is Cream Cheese,

Female - pending spay
Domestic Short Hair
Approx. 2 years old

I am the sweetest girl you'll probably ever meet, and I'm here to make you fall head over heels!

I LOVE to play! Whether it's a bouncy ball, a feather wand, or a cozy tunnel, I'm always ready to leap into action. Some might say I'm the Serena Williams of toy fetch-minus the tennis racket, of course.

But toys aren't my only passion-I absolutely adore attention. Belly rubs? Yes, please! Ear scratches? Sign me up! I'm basically a professional snuggler. I'll lean into you, purring contentedly, and give you those big, irresistible eyes. It's my secret weapon, really.

If you're ready for a lifetime of love and companionship, then I think we're meant to be together.

** I am currently being cared for off site at Seneca Polytechnic College, King campus **
