My story

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

Everyone needs a bit of Edna in their life. This girl is 100% personality and is definitely going to have you smiling.

Edna came to us extremely emaciated and with some serious gastrointestinal illnesses that went untreated. After lots of TLC, veterinary care, baths and so much more - Edna can't wait to live a spoiled life as a healthy happy girl.

Edna is a chatty girl who likes to "roOoOoo" and tell you all about her thoughts and feelings. She is so friendly and affectionate with our volunteers, and even quite tolerant of young jumpy puppies! Edna needs a controlled introduction with dogs to make sure it's an appropriate match, but she has done SO well in shelter being introduced to other canine friends. Unfortunately, we don't feel it would be safe to have Edna around cats, rabbits or other small animals.

There are so many things that Edna loves. It's almost hard to believe she is a senior because she is one active and agile girl. Edna LOVES to play - she adores toys but especially any kind of ball toy is the greatest joy of her life. She is amazing at fetch and will often even carry a ball in her mouth while out on walks! She thrives on mental stimulation, exercise and cuddles. She will need a home that has had dogs before and is familiar with the breeds needs. Edna is hilarious with dog beds, she enjoys them so much she will rubs around having a little party with each new one she gets. She was meant to have a spoiled life and she can't wait to finally live in a proper home! As this will be new for her, adopters should be prepared to help her settle in to a brand new surroundings with new people.

If you're looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion who's ready to brighten your days, Edna is desperately waiting to meet you! Do you think you could be Edna's person? Apply today!

TIP: We strongly suggest all applicants to write a little bit about themselves when prompted.

The Victoria Center is open for in-person adoption viewings Tuesday through Sunday, 12pm to 4pm, staff and animal well-being permitting.

Some animals may not be available for public viewing due to limited shelter space, medical and behavioral reasons, or other contributing factors.

Due to the high number of applications, we will only be contacting select individuals to further review their interest. If you do not hear back from us, it is possible that this animal has already found a forever home. You can always call or email to inquire about your application further and our staff will do our best to get back to you when time allows.

Animals cannot be held for potential adopters for more than 24 hours without a legitimate reason.
