Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Minnie, a sweet senior which is part of our duo looking for their forever home together! Minnie, a medium-sized mix, has had a rough start in life, bouncing between homes for years, but now she's ready for stability and love. She's bonded with her mom, Freckle, and they are inseparable. These two must be adopted together!
~ Minnie can be nervous around new people and may bark out of fear, but once you offer her a treat, she melts into a happy, loving dog. ~ Minnie and Freckle would do best in a home as the only dogs but could potentially live with another senior dog after a slow, careful introduction. They can be reactive towards new dogs at first, so they would thrive in a house, making them a poor fit for an apartment. ~ These lovely seniors would prefer a calm environment with older, dog-savvy children, ideally teenagers. ~ While Minnie can be a strong puller on walks, she loves nothing more than soaking up the sun and enjoying the simple pleasures of life.
If you're looking for a devoted pair to bring joy to your home, Minnie and Freckle are waiting for you!
Explanation of Behaviours: ~ Minnie is an active dog with moderate energy who requires daily attention, training, exercise, and enrichment. ~ She will need consistent work and training to address challenging behaviours such as mouthing and jumping. ~ Minnie can be shy and nervous at first, requiring her new family to introduce her slowly to new people, situations, and environments. ~ She has shown reactivity to new dog & new people due to fear or discomfort, particularly when in her kennel, on leash or behind barriers. ~ Minnie has some sound sensitivity and can be touch sensitive, especially with unfamiliar individuals. She is uncomfortable when objects are moved over her head, so desensitization will be key.
This dog would benefit from: An active home No apartment living Ideally no other dogs in the home Consistent training Ample time and attention Lots of socialization
Training Needs/Behaviours to Work on: Basic training Basic manners (jumping up and mouthing) Socialization, especially addressing nervousness in new environments Desensitization Reactivity Confidence building Leash skills
For more information on any behaviours listed above, please check out our behaviour fact sheet: Behaviour and Definitions
Please note that animals coming from foster care may behave differently in the centre due to the change in environment. Their behaviour during meet and greets may not fully reflect their foster care videos.

*Please note that walk-in appointments are welcomed and encouraged, and will be prioritized over online applications.
Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your environment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
