Meet Rue! She may be shy when you first meet her, but give her a little time and you’ll see her true personality shine! Once she feels comfortable, Rue is playful, silly, and so much fun to be around. She loves to romp around with her toys and will keep you smiling with her goofy antics. If you’re looking for a sweet pup who just needs a little patience to blossom, Rue might be the perfect match for you!

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!
