~*~ CAN.T MAKE A LIFE TIME COMMITMENT TO A DOG BUT WOULD STILL LIKE A CANINE COMPANION? WHY NOT FOSTER?! ASK US ABOUT OUR FOSTER PROGRAM AND HOW YOU CAN BE A FOSTER PARENT FOR A 4 LEGGED LOVE PET. ~*~
Many wonderful medium-large, older and special needs dogs who need foster homes until a forever home is found. If you are able to provide a foster home for a dog with separation anxiety (does not like being left alone), larger dogs or a senior dog who may take longer to place then let us know! They need your help! Dogs need foster care for as little as two to three weeks and as long as four to six months or more. All dogs are vaccinated and vet checked before placed in a foster home.

Murdoch  - Am. Bulldog/Pit Bull mix

male, neutered, vaccinated to date, ~5yrs, house trained, does not need/use a crate, ~70lbs, short haired


Due to a change in the family household with family moving out and feline friends moving away with them Murdoch is all alone in an apartment and neighbors say he is barking when left alone over 9hrs a day. Murdoch needs a home with another dog or where someone is home most of the time.

Murdoch falls under the breeds listed in the current BSL (Breed Specific Legislation) and needs to be leashed and muzzled at all times while off your private property. Please read here for BSL info before you consider adopting this pet. Murdoch is completely legal to own in Ontario, you simply need to follow the rules: leashed and muzzled at all times when off private property unless you have permission from property owner, spay/neuter (he’s neutered), license him in your area, microchip your pet.

He is described as a social, loving boy who loves to please his owner, he adores kids but has not been raised around them, he has been raised with cats and enjoys a feline companion, his owner describes him as "friendly but socially awkward with other dogs usually amusing himself with toys or sniffing rather then engaging in play, it takes a few days of watching from the side lines before Mur will play with other dogs but he has never been mean, just unsure". Mur has been to doggy day care and does fine aside from being unsure. Murdoch is well mannered, walks nicely on the leash and knows basic commands as well as a few tricks; he can also work off leash. This is a well cared for and much loved family pet. Mur loves people and loves to be around anyone who can give him hugs and cuddle with him. His owner is very sad to have to part with him. Murdoch needs a house with a fenced yard and an owner with large breed experience. He is fine on his own or as a second dog but needs either a canine companion or a home where someone is home most of the time.

If you are interested in Murdoch and have previous large breed experience and vet reference please email adoption@4leggedlove.com for an Adoption Application, an application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a dog.


If interested in Adopting Murdoch,

Please contact 4 Legged Love via email at dogs@4leggedlove.com or call 416-503-3275.

Ebony  - Pug X
(adoption pending)

female, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested (-), tx, flea preventative, 3yr, 20lbs


We have limited background on Ebony, she is a rescue from a high kill shelter. Ebony is a friendly, social little Pug mix, she needs a daily walk and loves play time with people. She is likely fine with cats but tends to be bossy or grumpy with other dogs so she should be the only dog in the home, we are not sure how she is with kids but seems to love attention from anyone any age. She is crate trained, house trained and working on basic household manners with her foster family. Ebony is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

If you are interested in adopting this pet please email adoption@4leggedlove.com for an Adoption Application. An application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.

Mater  - Saint Bernard X
(adoption pending)

male, neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested (-), tx, flea preventative, ~2yr


We have limited background on Mater, he is a rescue from a high kill shelter. Mater is not as large as a Pyr but his age is estimated to be about 11mos-1yr so he may grow a little more, he does need to gain weight after his stressful stay at the shelter. Mater is a very easy going, laid back cuddle bug, he loves big hugs, lots of praise, belly rubs and will even smile when he knows you are talking about him. He is sooo cute, so loveable and just such a pleasure, a true gentle giant. Mater would fit in to pretty much any house hold that has lots of love for him. He needs a daily walk and is good with other dogs, likely fine with cats but we are unsure if she has been around children. He is crate trained but is likely fine uncrated, house trained and working on basic household manners with his foster family. Mater is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered.

If you are interested in adopting this pet please email adoption@4leggedlove.com for an Adoption Application. An application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.

Roly  - ¾ Basset/ ¼ Beagle mix
(adoption pending)

male, neutered, vaccinated, heartworm tested (-), tx heartworm/flea preventative, approx 40lbs, 2yrs, 16” tall, ¾ Basset/ ¼ Beagle mix.


Due to family break up and Roly needs a new home.

Roly is a cuddle bug and totally loves to be petted and hugged, he is mellow, calm, laid back, friendly and snuggly. Adopted two weeks ago from 4 Legged Love was Roly’s house mate Blackie, Roly would love a home with another dog as he gets along very well with other dogs and enjoys the companionship, he would also be fine on his own. Roly visits doggy day care weekly and enjoys time at the FENCED off leash park. Roly has not been raised with kids and is timid around them so he is best in a home with kids 8yrs plus, he is good with cats. Roly is house trained and crate trained but no longer uses the crate, he is fine when left alone and given free roam of the home. Roly knows basic commands but like a typical Hound following his nose he does pull on the leash, he is used to wearing a Halti for walks. Roly enjoys at least a one hour walk a day and is otherwise a couch potato in the house. He knows not to beg in the kitchen or at the table, he doesn’t get on furniture unless asked and he sleeps in his own doggy bed at night (he’s more then happy to cuddle on your bed if you let him). Roly is good for baths, nail clipping and ear cleaning. He is good in the car and is suitable for any house with a yard. Roly can never be off leash unless in a fully fenced area as he is a hound and will follow his nose.

Please research the Basset Hound and Beagle breeds before applying to adopt Roly.

If you are interested in adopting Roly please email adoption@4leggedlove.com for an Adoption Application.

If interested in Adopting Roly,

Miika  - Lab/Shepherd mix
(adoption pending)

male, neutered, vet checked, vaccinated to date, ~80lbs, 8.5yrs


Due to a family break up and long work hours Miika's family can no longer care for him.

Miika is a little grey around the muzzle but don't let that fool you, this boy is young a heart and still needs and wants exercise every day. Miika is a great dog that is good with other dogs of all sizes, he is okay with cats but has never lived with them, he is nervous around small children (5yrs and under) and tries to avoid them and since he has never lived with kids he is best suited to a home with no small kids around full time. He is healthy and would love to find an active owner who can help him loose the spare pounds he has (about 5lbs to shed). Miika craves human attention and likes to be where ever his family is, he’s previous owner's work hours left Miika home alone for 12-14hours a day - never a mess and never anything destroyed, he was very good and simply napped on his doggy bed until someone was home. Mikka is fully house trained and does not need or use a crate. Miika would really like to have someone who isn’t away from the home more then the typical 9-5 work hours and since he is so content to just "hang out" where the humans are Miika could also join his new owner at work. He knows basic commands, walks nicely on leash or off, he loves car rides and is always up for a good game of fetch.
Miika is basically the body shape of a Lab but has the height and color of a Shepherd, he is social but tends to stick with his people and doesn’t need to meet everyone at the park, he also seems to be unsure about meeting new people and may back away, he warms up very quickly if given a few minutes to sniff and observe a new person. Miika loves the dog park and has stayed at doggy day cares so he would be a great dog on his own or as a second dog. Miika is a mature, relaxed but still active boy, he needs a good daily walk or jog and will sleep on his own doggy bed at night. Miika would be perfect for a mature household looking for an easy going companion.

If you are interested in Miika please submit an Adoption Application, an application must be submitted before an appointment can be made to meet/adopt a pet.
