Looking for a companion who loves walking on the beach, picnicking in the park and lounging next to a crackling fire? Find your new furry friend at the Mega Pet Adoption Weekend, June 5-7 at the Queen Elizabeth Building at Exhibition Place. Hosted by the Toronto Humane Society and the City of Toronto, there will be up to 700 cats, dogs and rabbits available. The event is free but adoption fees are $25. Here are some lonely hearts looking for love.

Florence

Seeking:TheSporty Adventurer

I’m a 3-1/2-year-old Boxer mix who loves the outdoors. I’ll keep up with you on runs and bike rides and am game for anything physical. Because I’m so high-octane I’m not a good a fit for households with kids and I definitely wouldn’t want to share your affection with another dog — I like to be the centre of attention.

Gaius

Seeking:The Ironic Hipster

I’m a six-year-old Ragdoll with a lion’s cut, but I’m as sweet and docile as a kitten — how’s that for irony? And, being a long-haired cat, whose fur gets matted and requires lots of brushing, I have an innate appreciation for coiffed beards, handlebar moustaches and slicked-back manes. I can be a bit of a paradox — at times I demand attention, but I also like being left alone. What’s paramount is that I live in a calm environment because I’ve got irritable bowel syndrome that is triggered by stress, which causes me to vomit. Not surprisingly, I’m on a special diet — because I’m special.

Blaze

Seeking:The Young Family

I’m a three-month-old German shepherd mix who’s bursting with energy. I love to play, chase balls and be petted. Because I’m a pup I need to be trained and must be let outdoors frequently so I can burn off energy. And because I’m quite social, I may be a good companion for someone who already has a dog.

Lucy

Seeking:The Artist

Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...

I’m a 14-year-old long-haired tabby that’s looking for a relaxing environment to live out my golden years. I’m looking for someone who’s calm and chilled out and won’t mind that I spend 18 hours a day sleeping by the window. But when I’m awake, and when you need a break from your artistic endeavours, I love to be stroked. And because I’m an indoor cat I’m a great companion for someone who works from home.

Furry Avenger

Seeking:The Downtown Professional

I’m a one-year-old American mix who’s ideal for the apartment dweller. I don’t require much space — a cage will suffice — but I need to be let out once in a while to leap around. But don’t worry, I’m litter-trained! I’m looking for someone who will love me — my last owner abandoned me outside and I developed frostbite, which explains why the tip of my right ear is missing.
