Just Paws Animal Rescue

NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS

Stop scrolling - Gilbert has been waiting for you.

At just 11 pounds, this tiny boy has lived a life far bigger (and harder) than he ever should have. Now safe in Toronto, Gilbert is finally learning what it means to be loved - and he is so ready to give that love right back.

About five years old, and likely a schnauzer–shih tzu mix, Gilbert has the sweetest little underbite and tiny crooked teeth that peek out when he looks up at you and trust us, when he does, it will melt you. His eyes say everything: you are my person.

Before coming into rescue, Gilbert was out there on his own - a little stray trying to navigate the world without anyone to care for him. He was very underweight, and the vets believe he may have been eating things like rocks to survive (which likely caused some erosion on his teeth). Gilbert’s hips are a bit out of alignment, but the vets have said it does not require any treatment and does not impact him- other than giving him the cutest little bunny hops when he walks.

Despite everything Gilbert has been through, he is nothing but soft, sweet love. He’s a gentle, calm boy who doesn’t ask for much. He’s a calm, quiet little soul. Sleeps through the night. Mostly housetrained (with one adorably quirky preference for a flat surface over grass - city boy energy). Good with other dogs, happy to coexist, and likely to ignore cats who ignore him.

In meeting new people, Gilbert may take a few minutes to feel safe… but once he does, he’s all in. He’ll paw at you for snuggles, curl into your lap, and love you with a quiet, unwavering devotion that feels truly special.

So, if being adored unconditionally is appealing to you, then Gilbert is the dog for you.

Apply to adopt Gilbert and give this little survivor the forever he’s been waiting for.

CICI has been ADOPTED!
Thank you to Angela for fostering.

Cici is a rambunctious little lady with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She came into our lives at just the right time, and it honestly felt like she knew it too.

From the moment we met her, we knew we were ready to welcome another dog—and she made that decision easy.

She’s playful, curious, and full of life, always ready for the next adventure or cuddle. Like any young pup, she’s been working on her manners, and we’ve already seen so much progress.

Our hearts are so full having her in our lives. We’re beyond grateful to Just Paws Rescue and her amazing foster, Angela, for bringing her to us.

Thank-you!

It’s been a busy April over here. In just the past week, we’ve welcomed 9 new dogs into our care, and calling them adorable would be an understatement.
Right now, all of them are settling into their foster homes and getting comfortable while their fosters learn more about their personalities. Our veterinary team is also making sure each dog is fully up to date on everything they need.
At this time, none of these dogs will be accepting applications, but their bios will be shared soon. Please keep an eye on our page for updates on when they’ll be ready.
Welcome to this new group of dogs. We’re looking forward to introducing each one of them to you

KODAK has been ADOPTED!
Thank you to Francesca for fostering!

Thank you Just Paws!
It was love at first look!
Kodak's sweet tender eyes said everything!
And meeting him for the first time showed his loving ways.
He is a calm, gentle, loving boy, with an adorable playfulness.
He loves to snuggle and throw his "lamby" to signal that it is time to play fetch and he loves to take walks and check things out.
Our timing to meet each other was unexpected and oh so perfect!
Each day brings new special moments of joy. He is indeed very special and I feel so lucky to add Kodak into my life!
The Just Paws team has been amazing from intake to meet and greet and beyond. A special thank you to Francesca his amazing foster mom whose care throughout the process was so heartwarming and made our journey very special.
