Gus
Starting off Dogs in the ‘Hood, the Dodsworths are thrilled to welcome little Gus into their family. Gus is a 3 and half month old bernedoodle, related to Sarah’s dog Odi! He is settling into the neighbourhood and enjoys meeting new people and dogs! Sweet, friendly and playful, we are completely smitten, albeit tired! Gus starts puppy training classes soon and we are all looking forward to that.
Lily
Lily, a 4-year-old yorkie-pom, loves her family. She also loves to play with the family’s cats and with grandma’s dogs Pilou, Frieda and Diego. Always eager to visit grandma who lives a few doors down for her treats, Lily loves to please. Sjhe’s been learning tricks with her human sister Eloïse. If you ever see Lily around, don’t be shy to come say hello 🙂
Maggie
Hi – I’m Maggie, a 12-year-old Yorkie terrier mix. I’m a momma’s dog – her special baby and a real cuddler – although, honestly, I’m really daddy’s girl. Attuned to all my family’s comings and goings, I watch from the front window checking cars to see who’s coming home. I love to meet and greet other dogs – big or small – and especially my canine friends Gizmo and Penny.
Phoebe
I’m Phoebe, an 8-month-old English Labrador. I really love all humans and I’m thrilled to be in Dogs in the ‘Hood. The 7 at my home are loads of fun, especially the smaller ones along with the dog Finnigan and cat Maggie. Finnigan makes me laugh – I know how to press his buttons. I love morning walks to Trille des bois, playing with friends in Richelieu Park, swimming and every potato chip that drops on the floor.
