Day 11 of the 12 Adoptables of the HOliday Season - Cookie from Serbian Street Dog Rescue12/23/2025 Cookie is a sweet, reserved 2-year-old Pulin—a traditional Serbian herding breed known for their intelligence and loyal nature. He’s one of the newer additions to our rescue, but he has already made a big impression with his gentle spirit. Cookie was found wandering the streets with a large mass on his back. We were able to safely capture him and get him the care he urgently needed. The lump was removed and tested, and thankfully, it turned out to be benign. Today, Cookie is fully healed, healthy, neutered, up to date on his vaccines, and on monthly flea/tick prevention. Personality-wise, he’s the perfect mix of calm and active. He enjoys exploring outside, spending time with the other dogs, and quietly observing the world around him. While he can be a bit reserved at first, he warms up beautifully and shows a friendly, steady nature that makes him easy to love. Cookie is ready for a home where he can feel safe, appreciated, and part of a family. If you’re looking for an intelligent, gentle companion with a resilient heart, Cookie may be the perfect fit. About Serbian Street Dog Rescue: I’m here today to share a little about the Serbian Street Dog Rescue, a small but deeply meaningful project for my family and me. In Serbia, where my family is originally from, there is a huge problem with stray and abandoned dogs. Many are born on the streets and never know safety, and others are simply tossed aside when they are no longer wanted. Sadly, these dogs are often viewed as pests—unadoptable, unworthy, and invisible. Our rescue exists to prove the opposite. On our small enclosed property, we provide a safe space with both indoor and outdoor areas for the dogs we’ve taken off the streets. We focus on spaying and neutering, providing full veterinary care, and, just as importantly, socializing them so they can eventually thrive in homes of their own. Over the past 2 years, we’ve also begun working closely with three incredible volunteers in Serbia: Inda, Jelena, and Dušica. They run a larger rescue called Male šape velikog srca (Small paws, big heart) and they have been doing rescue work for over 20 years. Their dedication and experience have been invaluable—they are the ones on the ground rescuing dogs from dangerous situations, providing immediate vet care, and helping us identify dogs who truly need a second chance. We are grateful to call them partners and friends. My mom herself brought over three dogs from Serbia that she adopted, and they’ve become the center of her world. I have Millie, one of her rescues, here with me today. She is the most loving, cuddly, sweet girl. She was found with her daughter wandering the city center in search of food and shelter. And now, She is living her best life. And this summer, we had one of our most rewarding moments: finding a home for one of our dogs, Cezar. Cezar was discovered with a severely disfigured leg from an unknown trauma. After vet assessment, we made the decision to amputate, and once he healed, we brought him to Canada. He is now living his absolute best life with his new mom and dog sister—we still receive updates, and every photo reminds us why we do this work. These dogs aren’t “pests.” They aren’t disposable. They are loyal, loving, resilient souls who simply need a chance—and that's what we are here to give them. Thank you for supporting our mission and for believing, like we do, that every dog deserves a home. to find out more and to enquire to adopt Cookie, Email [email protected]
Day 10 of the 12 Adoptable Pets of the HOliday Season - Bing & Bo from Parrot Adoptions Ontario12/22/2025 Hi everyone...let me introduce you to this duo of happy budgies. Bing and Bo are both male budgies located in Oshawa. Bing and Bo are searching for a mom or dad that will take good care of them. Bing and Bo enjoy each other’s company. They like to be in the living room where there are multiple people around them. Bing can step up on a finger. He can also step up on a perch. He doesn't like to snuggle or be touched. You will have to earn Bing’s trust before he will step up for you. Bo is still learning to step up. He doesn't like to snuggle. They currently get daily time out of their cage – they love to fly. They are calm birds but benefit from having separate food bowls for each of them in their cage set up. Why consider adopting budgies? • Budgies are intelligent and social birds. • Their gentle chirps and bright colours add peaceful energy to any space. • Great for smaller living spaces or those new to bird ownership! If you’re interested in adopting kindly complete an adoption application in the “Files” section of the page or ask an admin for one. Adopt, don’t shop.

You can find this younger, probably male Red-eared Slider at Pet Cuisine and Accessories. He is looking for his new forever home. I live very near by if you have any questions about him.
Lucky is a sweet-natured, gentle senior cat who has come a long way from her difficult start. Found outside alone, frightened, and emaciated, Lucky was taken in by Annex Cat Rescue and, with medical care and lots of love, has made an incredible recovery. Her general health is quite good, she's gained weight, her soft fur has grown back, and she continues to thrive in her loving foster home. Lucky is quietly affectionate and has the most endearing ways of showing love-she'll extend a paw toward you, make soft little chirps for attention, or roll over at your feet to show you her tummy (for admiring only, not petting!). She enjoys gentle strokes and kisses on the top of her head and will even let you pick her up, quietly pressing into your body for a moment of closeness, even though she's not a lap cat. Though calm and quiet, Lucky also has a wonderfully playful side. She loves her toy mouse, often bringing it to her foster's feet for a game of fetch. Her joyful antics-galloping after her mouse, sliding into rugs, or springing into the air like a bunny-bring laughter to her home. She also enjoys chasing her laser toy down the hallway, a sign of her renewed health and spirit. Food is deeply important to Lucky. After going without, she now finds comfort and safety in regular, reliable meals. She eats canned food three times a day, with Churro treat breaks in between. Mealtimes have become a strong bonding ritual, helping her feel secure and deeply connected to her caregiver. Lucky enjoys napping near a window and quietly watching the world go by. She's independent but truly values companionship-often choosing to sit nearby while you read, work, or watch TV. She would thrive in a calm, quiet home with someone who is around often and understands that trust and affection may take time, but are well worth the wait. Though currently the only cat in her foster home, Lucky has previously lived with other cats and may do well with a gentle feline companion. She has had all her teeth removed, but that doesn't slow her down one bit-she eats well and uses her litter box perfectly. Lucky is brave, playful, quirky, and absolutely enchanting. If you're looking for a quiet, loving companion with a big heart and a playful spirit, Lucky is ready to meet you. Lucky is negative for FIV and feline leukemia. She is up-to-date on vaccines and has been treated for fleas and parasites. In August 2024, she had dental surgery with extractions (but it certainly has not prevented her from eating, and enjoying her food) and her bloodwork at that time was normal. Lucky is allergic to fleas and should be treated preventively with appropriate medication. Find out more about Lucky HERE!
Day 8 of the 12 Adoptable Pets of the Holiday Season - Roman from Little RES Q Reptile REscue12/20/2025 Day 7 of the 12 Adoptable Pets of the HOliday Season - Mila from Serbian Street Dogs Rescue12/19/2025 Mila’s story is one of strength and second chances. This beautiful 2-year-old Rottweiler was found on the side of the road suffering from heat stroke when one of our volunteers spotted her and rushed her to safety. With proper care, rest, and love, Mila made a full recovery—and her sweet personality has shone ever since. Despite what she’s been through, Mila is not aggressive in the slightest. She is calm, affectionate, and enjoys the company of both people and other dogs. At around 20 kg, Mila is a wonderful size for an active home, and she’s already fully vetted, spayed, up to date on vaccines, and on monthly flea/tick prevention. Mila is the perfect blend of active and easygoing—a loving companion who is ready for a family that will cherish her as much as she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle-hearted dog with a remarkable spirit, Mila could be the one.

Hi everyone! I’m a sweet, sweet 28 year old majestic male Blue & Gold Macaw named Niko. You can find me in Bowmanville. My family LOVES me dearly but to really thrive I need to be the ONLY bird in your home so that I can get ALL your love and attention. I’m looking for a large bird experienced adult home – no apartments or townhouses due to my Macaw noise levels. Ideally someone home a lot or always. I was with my previous person for 21 years as an only bird where I was very loved and I thrived - the reason I was rehomed was because she passed away. I will bond with more than one person, but I will have a main person I get attached to...I just crave attention and if you give it to me, I will become your friend. I am an avid chewer; I need your undivided attention when out of cage as I will try to get down and explore with my beak. I can be very destructive if you don’t keep a close eye on me. I can talk, and scream if I’m bored. I’m hand friendly and will step up onto a dowel. I’m cuddly and will snuggle with my favorite person. Once you earn my trust, I am just the biggest lover. I will happily sit on your lap all day talking gibberish to you and getting loving. I can bite as most birds can. I have experience with dogs. I sure love having people around me and lots of out of cage time. I also enjoy music and singing. If you are that special someone who will be home a lot, and will dedicate a lot of one-on-one time with Niko, please complete an adoption application located in the “Files” section or ask an admin for one.

Introducing Her Royal Highness, the Grand Duchess Anastasia. This fluffy former colony-cat reigns supreme over her indoor kingdom, spending countless hours sleeping or lounging while binge-watching "Bird TV" from her throne (the couch). While her subjects may long for a royal snuggle, Anastasia prefers to keep her distance - with an aversion to physical contact that would make even the most aloof monarch proud. While she does not bite, Anastasia does regularly hiss and may swat at you out of fear if she is startled upon approach. But her hisses serve as a reminder of her boundaries, telling all who dare to encroach upon her sovereignty that she is not to be trifled with. We admire a lady who speaks her mind. When not busy issuing decrees, Anastasia engages in charitable work, and is a patron of the bread bank - kneading away on her favourite sweater. She also enjoys climbing her cat tower to gaze upon her kingdom and royal subjects. In the middle of the night, Anastasia emerges from her royal chambers to chase balls and spring toys. She also finds joy in the humble cardboard scratcher, a simple scratching post, and cat dancers. Anastasia seeks an experienced adopter of royal caliber - one who appreciates her independent spirit and respects her boundaries. While she may not grant the gift of pets or cuddles, her willingness to share her space speaks volumes of her generous spirit. She will require much patience and understanding as she acclimates to her new domain and in time will grace her chosen companion with the privilege of her presence, basking in their company from a distance. For those with the wisdom to accept her on her own terms, Anastasia promises a companionship as unique and cherished as the crown jewels themselves. Anastasia has a history of mild tartar and may need future dental cleanings. She is negative for FIV and FeLV. Like all ACR cats, Anastasia has been treated for fleas and parasites.
