Adoptable Thursdays

This week features another bullies in need pup!

I am really keen on supporting Bullies In Need especially as the countdown for Bill 16 continues. Please remember to support Randy Hillier in repealing BSL in Ontario.

Without further ado, introducing Dobby!


Here is what his foster Mom had to say about him;

Dobby is fantastic with children, small and big. Great with cats and just wants to wrestle and play with EVERY dog he meets. He's fully house-trained and clean in his crate. He loves his chew toys, long walks and bones in his crate while his humans are away. Dobby is great on walks but loves to smell and check out everything this new big world has to offer. The highlight of his walks seem to be when he gets a stick to carry proudly in his mouth lol. He sits and waits for his meals and to come out of his crate. He is learning down, leave-it, and off. Dobby is extremely food-motivated making training that much easier :) Dobby loves to be the centre of attention, and with his adorable poutty underbite, it is so easy for him to steal the show each and every time. Oh, and he roo roo's!!! He adores Ellie and Venus. At the end of a long day, he has to be curled up between the two of them and has come to expect his nightly grooming licks from Ellie. She plays momma :) It is absolutely priceless to watch them together :) What else can I say about my Dobby-Doo, other than he truly is a great pooch and deserves his forever home for the new year!

Adoptable Thursdays


This week on Adoptable Thursdays we are featuring an adorable and adoptable kitty from Forgotten Ones Cat Rescue.

This is Pearl

Here is a little bit about Pearl which is also on her pet finder page:

PEARL and another cat were found in a small wire crate that had been dumped in a snow bank around back of the P.J.'s store on Yonge Street. There was no note explaining how they got there or why they were abandoned. Pearl was quite timid when she first went into foster care but is slowly making progress. Here is some words from her foster mom: "Pearl is very vocal and loves to have her belly rubbed. She is getting better with being picked up but only for a few seconds and then wants down. As soon as I get up in the morning she is at the top of the stairs yelling at me to come down and feed her. When I walk in the door from work she runs to the kitchen and makes it very clear that she wont has no patience and wants her dinner NOW! She loves to watch the activity on the back deck squirrels and blue jays that come for the peanuts and bird seed. Pearl is still a little timid but she no longer runs up stairs when the door opens. She is getting better with people coming in the house and lets everyone pet her now." Pearl is currently in foster care in Pickering. She would do best in a quiet, adult only home without any other pets. Her adoption fee is $175.00, she has been spayed, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, tested negative for FeLV/FIV

You can find Pearl at Forgotten Ones Cat Rescue located at

Adoptable Thursdays



This week will feature a wonderful dog from Bullies in Need. It was so difficult to just pick one dog, so Bullies in Need with definitely be featured again!

Bullies in Need can be found at bulliesinneed.ca

Introducing Mayer, whose picture was seen on the post For the Love of ALL Dogs

Mayer is one of our “long term” foster dogs. He’s living the good life with his foster momma and canine brother but we know, even though he would never complain, that deep down he dreams of running along side his forever family one day. Mayor is one of those dogs who is very active outside but who will snuggle up right next to you when indoors. He loves being with his people – so much so that he struggles when they have to go to out to work. Mayor’s foster momma has been working very hard to make sure Mayor learns that when people leave, they will come home. He needs a mature family that will work with his current routine to continue reinforcing this. Not to worry though, Mayor comes with his own special instruction manual. Mayor manual outlines his daily walking, jogging and fetching activities. Mayor loves to be active with you and if you’re having one of those lazy days he’s learned how to keep himself busy on an indoor treadmill. After all, that stunningly handsome body doesn’t just take care of itself. After his exercise routine Mayor loves to snuggle up with the latest issue of Doggie Health magazine and relax the afternoon away while sipping on hot chamomile tea. That’s right, this muscular man had a soft side to him too, he knows how to wine and dine the lady dogs just as well as he plays football with the boy dogs. Mayor and his foster brother often head out on the town to make new doggie friends. Mayor’s manual clearly explains that there are not to be any of those little cat critters in the home please. They look way too much like his squeaky toys for him to comfortably live with one. Other chapters in the manual include “How to properly wash out stinky stuff that Mayor insisted in rolling in”; “How to keep up with all the great house training and obedience training that Mayor has learned so far”; “How to disperse millions of kisses and snuggles all over Mayor’s totally irresistible face” and “How to run the city when you live with the Mayor”


AND introducing Margeurita, whose picture was also found on the above post

"Margo" for short, is about 3.5 months old and already a whopping 21 lbs! She's solid and strong! Margo is up to date on shots (one more round due end of month) and is spayed. Marguerita is full of spunk and determination. She would benefit being in home with structure and someone who would be willing to take her to puppy classes.Margeurita is still working on her house training abilities, but is a very smart pup and catching on very quickly! Crate training is also a work in progress, she so desperately just wants to be with people and have fun fun fun! She is catching on quickly and learning that her crate is a happy place. Margo shares the house with 4 cats and is doing very well. She will sometimes chase depending on her mood but once she corners them, she just sits and barks at them. It's priceless to watch. Little does she know, no friendships come about from yelling :) We absolutely love this sassy little chica! Margo loves to snuggle and has the best gentle puppy kisses ever! She can't wait to kiss kiss kiss her forever family.

Adoptable Thurdays


This week we are honoured to feature,
Ella an adoptable kitty from Forever Home Rescue in Hamilton


"Ella is one of those adorable little calicos that keeps getting over looked because she is no longer a kitten. She must have a halo over her head *somewhere* because she's such an angel! The perfect home for Ella might be with another laid back cat, or she could be the Queen of her Castle! Ella doesn't ask for much - just a loving home, kisses and she promises to greet you at the front door at night after you come home from work. Prepare to fall in love with this colourful beauty!"

If you are interested in adopting Ella you can go directly to foreverhomecatrescue.com to contact Beth and go through the adoption process to make this little girl yours.

Adoptable Thursdays/ Shelter Pets Project



Welcome to one of our new features, Adoptable Thursdays.

Every Thursday I will feature an adoptable pet with a picture and a blurb. If you are interested in having a post about an adoptable pet please send us an email at journey-blog@hotmail.com (another new feature, the blog's own email)


While I don't have an adoptable pet this week to feature, I know that there are lots out there. Recently I received an email about the Shelter Pets Project Campaign. The Shelter Pets Projectis all about adopting pets rather than buying. A person is the best thing that can happen to all of these pets! They launched in 2009 and helps people to find the pet they are looking for by typing in their area code/zip code. The project was created by The United States Humane Society, Maddie's Fund and Ad Council.
You can find the Shelter Pets Project in these locations;

Web: http://www.shelterpetproject.org
Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/shelterpetproject
Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/shelterpetsproject
Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/theshelterpetprojector

I think that rescue and shelter are wonderful things to be involved in. You can always tell how a person will treat you just by the way they treat their pets! Hope you enjoy the first of our many changes.


Author Note: I was contacted by a representative of the Shelter Pets Project to share their message. I am in support the message of adopting shelter pets instead of buying.
