Lily

Lily (formerly Sister) began as a foster, but we quickly knew we needed to make her a permanent addition to the family. It took her a while to adjust, but now she is the queen of her castle. She spends her days playing with her fur brothers and sisters and sun bathing. She has been a…

Tyson

Tyson has been such an amazing addition to our family.  He and our golden doodle Lucy, get along famously! So much so, they’re the inspiration behind a new cartoon on Instagram called “Lucy and Tyson”   We are so happy he came into our lives; he makes us laugh all the time.  We love him❤️ –…

Larry

Champ (aka Barley)

Gerdy and Marilyn, thank you so much for choosing us as Champ’s forever family. Adopted in September 2019, Champ, nine now has adapted incredibly well to our routine and is the king of the house. He makes us laugh everyday and is keeping us sane through this pandemic. Would have gone completely crazy without him. Keep…

Edison

I am beyond grateful to Gerdy’s for trusting me with the sweetest pup Edison (Eddie).  Everyday I get to wake up to his cuddles. A smarter pup I’ve never met. We are inseparable. I’d say Edison rescued me. Each day I pinch myself and wonder how did I get to be so lucky to care…

Toby

Je vous présente Toby. Un petit Yorkshire adorable que j’ai adopté via Gerdy’s à la mi décembre 2019. Il s’est tout de suite adapté à notre routine car en passant j’ai un autre chien de la même race. Il est très actif surtout pour jouer à la balle.  C’est un petit chien très affectif et il…

Lexi

Look at that beautiful smile!! Lexi has changed leaps and bounds from the short time we have had her… she was extremely nervous and shy and now she is the sweetest, friendliest, most cuddly dog!! She is such a quick learner!!  Her and her “dog sister” Kloie play for hours running around playing ball every…

Coby

Coby is a love bug. He has adjusted so beautifully to life with us. He has his routine in the morning of jumping on daddy’s legs and curling up into a ball. He always wants to be right by your side. He loves to snuggle, play and kiss. He is simply delicious. ~ Monique K.

Moe

Bye Bye Moe! Sept. 2009 – May 2020 Our dear Moe was a gifted dog who would sense and help any dog in physical or psychological distress.  He was calm and and always wanted to be sitting on our laps.  He loved hearing bird chirping, cars and especially people!  He had a unique loving personality and was very…

Gusto

In memory of Gusto who you knew as Gus. Happily he found us through another animal lover after Gerdy rescued him almost 14 years ago -and he and we never looked back. He was a wonderful, smart and affectionate dog who gave us so much joy. He was so handsome, receiving compliments til the day he…

Siggi

Poirot brought a tremendous amount of love and happiness into our home. He will be remembered with great joy!–Lara and Jean-François

Benny

Our dog Benny was put down today. Fifteen years ago he was dropped off at the Nichoir (wild bird clinic) by his owner who obviously didn’t know the difference between a bird and a dog. My wife who was working at the Nichoir found him outside with badly infected eyes due to inverted eye lids…

Yuka (a.k.a. Yukita Banana, Bébé Banane, and plenty of other nonsense nicknames) passed away on January 28, 2020. Initially from the streets of Cairo, she was adopted by her loving family who later brought her to Montreal. Eventually, she came to me at the age of 13. Obviously used to being adored, Yuka quickly won…
