This page is used for the purpose of promoting the animals available for adoption at our shelter.

The Uxbridge-Scugog Animal Shelter is medium sized shelter located just outside of historic Port Perry on the shores of Lake Sugog. We have a large grass dog yard for exercise and playtime, indoor/outdoor kennels and two cat adoption rooms. We pride ourselves on providing all animals with daily one on one attention from our caring staff. All animals have a warm soft bed with toys and treats to keep them as comfortable and relaxed as possible while they wait for their forever homes. We closely screen all pets and potential adopters so we may place the most suitable pet with your and your family. Donations we receive ensure that we are able to spay or neuter, vaccinate and microchip all animals prior to adoption. We are also happy to accept donations such as towels and blankets, cat and dog toys, canned cat and kitten food. https://www.scugog.ca/en/live-and-play/Animal-Services.aspx?_mid_=102594

!!HAPPY TAILS!! DIXIE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!!

After months of waiting, searching, and hoping for her chance, Dixie has finally found her forever home! 🏡❤️ Her journey in care may have been a long one, but it was all worth it to see her find the family she was always meant to be with.

Congratulations, Dixie! Your happily ever after starts now!

HARLEY, DIXIE AND CINNI HAVE ALL BEEN ADOPTED!!

PATSY’S ADOPTION FILES: I TAKE TWO DAYS OFF AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS?! 🐰📱

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their concern during my brief absence from the page. I was informed that even management is allowed to take sick days. Apparently, being a rabbit does not exempt me from needing a break. 🙄🐰

So, while I was away, the humans took over posting about our animals. And guess what happened?

ONE OF OUR DOGS RECEIVED OVER 30 APPLICATIONS. 😳📋

THIRTY. APPLICATIONS. I leave for TWO DAYS and suddenly everyone is fighting over a dog?!

Meanwhile, we currently have THREE wonderful dogs sitting here with ZERO applications. ZERO.

I have questions. Many questions. And frankly, I may need to schedule another meeting with management. Don’t get me wrong! I’m absolutely thrilled that one of our dogs has received so much interest. That’s exactly what we want! ❤️

But it also got me thinking about the other dogs still waiting for someone to notice them. They’re wonderful dogs, too. They have their own personalities, their own little quirks, and so much love to give the right families. They deserve their chance, too.

So, I thought I’d share their photos here again! 📸🐶

Please take a moment to look through their pictures, read their profiles, and share their posts. Even if you’re not looking to adopt, you might know someone who is! Let’s see if we can get some applications coming in for these deserving boys and girls, too. 🏡❤️

You never know which dog might be the one who changes your life.

As for me, I’m back on duty and ready to resume my very important work. The humans clearly cannot be trusted to manage this department without supervision.

P.S. Thirty applications?! I haven’t even received ONE for myself. I’m going to need a moment. And possibly a snack. 🥬

🚨 DON’T FORGET ABOUT ME! 🚨

We’d like to take a moment to reintroduce one of our amazing adoptable dogs, Harley Quinn, who has been patiently waiting for applications while our newest arrival, Chickpea, seems to be stealing the spotlight! 😂👀

So, we thought it was time to remind everyone that there are other amazing dogs here who deserve their chance, too!

Our sweet girl is still waiting for her forever family, and we would LOVE to see her get the same excitement and interest. Could her perfect match be out there scrolling right now?

Let’s show her some love! Share this post, spread the word, and help us find her the forever home she deserves.

Age: 7 years old

GONE TO MY FOREVER HOME WITH MY FOREVER FAMILY 💜

Due to the overwhelming amount of interest in Chickpea, we are no longer accepting applications. Applications are now officially closed!

Thank you to everyone who took the time to apply and show Chickpea so much love! ❤️ Please note that only potential adopters will be contacted.

Chickpea

Age: 3-5 years old
Breed: Chihuahua/Yorkie mix
Weight: 5lb
S*x: Female (spayed)
Adoption Fee: $200

Meet Chickpea! She is happiest when she’s being held and cuddled, and she would gladly spend her days snuggled up in your arms. She has a very gentle, docile personality and a low-energy lifestyle, making her the perfect little companion for someone looking for a calm and loving friend.

One important thing to know is that she is currently on a urinary diet and will need to remain on it for the rest of her life, so her future family will need to be committed to keeping up with her dietary needs.

For more information, contact the Uxbridge-Scugog Animal Shelter at 905-985-9547 or visit us in person: 1360 Reach St, Port Perry, ON L9L 0C2

If you’re looking for a fun-loving kitten who will keep you entertained and on your toes, PJ might just be your perfect match.

PATSY’S ADOPTION FILES: DASH 📋🐱

Alright, everyone. Today’s file is a little different. Not every cat is looking for a busy household, constant attention, or a personal entertainment committee. Some of us simply want a cozy spot, a little peace and quiet, and humans who understand the importance of personal space. Honestly, Dash and I may have more in common than I care to admit. 🐰

Meet Dash! 🧡

Dash is a 3-year-old neutered orange-and-white gentleman who arrived at the shelter in August. Since then, the humans have been patiently trying to help him feel comfortable around people and other cats. And while Dash hasn’t quite decided that shelter life is for him, he’s been showing us exactly what kind of home he needs.

Dash is a very timid, independent boy who enjoys having his own space. He isn’t the cat who’s going to demand that you entertain him all day or follow you around the house looking for attention. He’d much rather find a cozy spot, settle in, and enjoy the quiet life.

He will tolerate pets and attention, but if we’re being honest, he’d generally prefer you let him come around on his own terms. 📋 And you know what? That’s okay.

Dash doesn’t need someone to change his personality. He needs someone who understands it. ❤️

🐾 DASH’S FILE:
🐱 3-year-old neutered male
🧡 Orange and white
🏡 Independent and very timid
🛏️ Loves cozy spots and peaceful naps
💕 Tolerates gentle pets and attention
🐈 Has lived around other cats and generally minds his own business

Dash may do well in a home with another respectful cat who understands boundaries and won’t insist on being his new best friend. Of course, any introductions would need to be slow and thoughtful.

His ideal home? A quiet, patient environment with someone who understands that trust takes time and affection doesn’t always look the same for every animal.

Dash might not be the cat who curls up in your lap on day one. He might not ever be the cat who follows you from room to room. But he deserves a home where he can feel safe, comfortable, and loved just as he is. 🧡

Not every animal needs to be the life of the party. Some just need someone who appreciates a little quiet company. If you’re the kind of person who understands that Dash might be your guy.

- Patsy 🐰
Acting Director of Adoptions

P.S. I’ve been told that encouraging people to adopt a cat who prefers to be left alone is an interesting marketing strategy. I prefer to call it knowing your audience. Not every employee here is interested in excessive social interaction. 📋

Dash
• Age: 3- Years-old
• Gender: Male/Neutered
• Colour: Orange and White
