After 11 months at Mississauga Animal Services, TT is the shelter's longest-tenured current resident. She's very sweet, but if she was going to find a home, we needed to find a new approach to helping her accept new people into her "inner circle."
We've made great progress, and TT is much quicker to get to know people, learning to walk nicely on a leash, move away from things she's asked not to touch, and coping better with surprises.
Here's more about TT in case you might know her perfect match: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/tt-see-by-appointment-only-65657642/on/mississauga/city-of-mississauga-animal-services-on180/
After a brain aneurism and multiple strokes, Bruce has adopted Paisley to be his companion and comfort. Unable to move very fast, Bruce needed help teaching Paisley to walk at his cautious pace, without pulling him on his now-unstable legs. While the halter she's wearing provides light-touch control in case of surprises, Paisley is showing wonderful sensitivity to Bruce's need, and is becoming patient about the tempo of their walks.
Thane is on his fourth home in just a few weeks, mostly because he had trouble getting along with other dogs in his adoptive homes. His new family are determined to help him, starting with getting along with their Chow Chow, Scrappy. Thane and Scrappy had a rocky start, but they're already making progress!

Poor Sirius had a really tough time accepting any unfamiliar people coming near him, which would make it hard for potential adopters to consider him at Mississauga Animal Services. I've been working with the wonderful staff there to help him and he's much more welcoming and relaxed. I'm happy to see he's available for adoption.
