Name: Dexter
Breed: Mix
Age: 6.5 years
About: Dexter is a bundle of energy! He loves taking walks and running around but he also loves snuggling on the couch to watch TV. His fave things to eat are carrots and cheese and he goes crazy for broccoli stems! He will always greet you at the door when you come home and bring you a collection of his favourite toys as a welcome gift!
Name: Luna (aka Lunabear, Loonietunes)
Breed: Cat
Age: 6 years
About: 5 and a half years ago I decided I wanted to rescue a cat from the Humane Society. I was determined to get a cat and name her Luna. When I walked into the shelter there was a 6 month old kitten with a name tag on the cage reading “Luna”. I knew right then it was meant to be! She was picked up when she was 6 months old, no one knows what her life was like up until then. Once timid, now super happy and cuddly. She always sleeps curled up in between my legs and often wakes me up by sitting on my chest and licking my face. 🙂
Name: Maya (aka Maya Moo)
Breed: Boxer with English Mastiff Mix
Age: 4 years
About: Maya was a rescue dog where she was neglected by previous owners my parents took her in 2 years ago and is now loving life.
Maya’s personality is cuddling, especially if you have any blanket she will follow you where ever you go with it just to cuddle.
She always tries to bring sticks in the house and her favorite toy is the Charming Pet Products Pulleez Giraffe Dog Toy which she has with her majority of the time. She is very lovable, playful & so thankful we have her in our life.

About my zoo: Storm is my adventure buddy and loves the outdoors. Kiwi teaches people not to judge a book by its cover – she looks mean but is the most loveable dog in the world. Rubi (named after a Jeep Rubicon and the newest addition) is polydactyl – she has 22 toes! Indica is my old grumpy girl. Mimic got his name because he looks exactly like Indica. Bo spends 80% of his life under sand (perfect for those who have partners that don’t like snakes). To round things off: Puffy, George, and Mr.Pincher are my favourites out of my 100+ aquatic friends.
Name: Ozzy
Breed: Old American Lab
Age: 10 years old and still crazy!
About: Got this adorable fella when he was 8 wks old, even though he is now a “salt and pepper lab” he STILL has more energy than me! Takes his Nature’s Way Boswellia every morning for the hips, then good to go!

Breed: Pug
Age: 9 years
About: Zeus is a straight up Gangster. He is a pug. Enough said.
Name (age) breed: Duncan (3 years) German shepherd/border collie, Taya (10 years) fat black cat, Moe (8 years) Tuxedo cat
About my family: Duncan is the biggest suck ever! But he’s a hugger, so beware when you come over! He always enjoys pestering his big sisters! Taya is all about morning cuddles, afternoon cuddles, nighttime cuddles. All she wants is cuddles! Except for when you’ve crawled into bed, she decides to sit in the living room and meow as loud as she can until her name is called. She has a thing for bringing socks out of the bedroom to the living room. And then there’s Taya’s baby, Moe. Let’s be clear, Moe is a female. She got her name from the mohawk looking fur on her belly. She likes hogging the heat in the winter by sleeping on the registers while in the summers loves to sunbathe in the window. Her favourite spot for warmth though, is right on your chest while you’re sleeping!
Parent: Rajeev Sharma, IT Manager
Name: Harley
Breed: Not 100% sure, he is a rescue. Thinking Rottweiler, German Sheppard, and a third of something!
Age: 4.5 years
About: Harley was a stray from Ohio who we adopted from a foster home. He is an energetic, funny and playful boy. Harley is great with all types of personalities especially little kids and other animals. His favourite things in life are peanut butter, cheese, his toys and giving strangers sloppy wet kisses! Loves the outdoors and exploring things, but car rides probably tops his list.
Name: Gus
Breed: Westie
Age: 5 years
About: This is Gus. He has a larger than life personality and likes to be the center of attention at all times. He is always full of energy and loves to play with all of his toys, especially his favorite squeaky chicken. During the summer you can find him swimming and taking frequent jeep rides. His favourite foods are peanut butter, bacon and ice cream.
Parent: Jillian, Customer Care Supervisor
Name: Maverick
Breed: rescue tabby cat
Age: 1 year
About: He’s got his Jays jersey on and is ready to cheer along during the 2017 season!

Parent: Amanda, Lead Designer
Name: Skittles, Todd
Breed: Shepherd Mix, grumpy old cat
Age: 1.5 years, 17 years
About: My husband and I adopted Skittles last May through Just Paws Animal Rescue. She came all the way from Nashville Tennessee to join our family! She enjoys going for long walks, and playing in the backyard with her rope toy. She also loves belly rubs so much that she can often be found sleeping or relaxing belly up hoping to score some extra rubs. Skittles has an older cat brother named Todd. Skittles will often try playing with Todd, which she thinks is super fun – but he not so much. They can sometimes be caught snuggling, which just makes my heart melt.
