My story

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

Have you been looking for a new jogging or biking partner? What about someone who would love to spend hours outside with you going on hikes or even just playing in the yard? Yes?? Sounds like Parker is the perfect boy for you!

Parker has been in the shelter looking for his forever home since December. This boy is very active and would really enjoy others to go on adventures with. Although he is a super friendly guy, a home with cats or other small animals wouldn`t be a good fit for him.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

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 envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
