My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Ava is a young shepherd pup who has hit a rough patch in life. But things are looking up! Her skin is clearing up and she has started to put on some weight. She is wary of new people, but with a proper and slow introduction, she warms up nicely and starts to trust. Ava is playful and knows a lot of commands already. She is very smart and trainable. She is also extremely easy to walk and passes other dogs very politely. With a nice introduction, Ava would probably like to play with dogs of similar age and energy. She also appears housetrained. We suspect Ava will bond strongly to her new human companions – come meet her and see if you’re her perfect match.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

$125 for dogs and $100 for cats, includes spaying or neutering, rabies vaccination, and microchip.

THE BACS 60/6/60 PLAN If you’re sixty or over, and you adopt an animal who is 6 or over, you’ll get a 60% discount on the adoption fee.

You must be at least 21 years old to adopt a pet. We ask that everyone in the household come to meet the pet and we require proof that you can have a pet where you live. This can be a copy of a lease indicating that you may have a cat or dog, or any document indicating home ownership such as a mortgage statement.

There is a simple adoption application to complete which will help us advise and prepare you for your new pet. If you are adopting a dog and have another dog(s) already, we ask that you bring them to meet the dog you would like to adopt. We offer home adoption counseling visits for any of our dogs and may require it for some dogs.

In the event that more than one interested party wants to adopt an animal on the morning it becomes available, we enter the names of qualified adopters into a random drawing.

All cats and dogs adopted from the shelter will be neutered or spayed, vaccinated and microchipped before going home as your new pet. If the animal is spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, it can leave the same day. If the animal is not yet spayed or neutered, you can pick up your new pet the day after surgery.
