Story
Meet Harlow!Harlow arrived in our care as a stray, and she is now searching for her forever home. She is a sweet but timid dog who will need patience and understanding to help her feel safe and comfortable. With her favorite people, Harlow is affectionate and loves getting pets and scratches. Once she has expended her energy, she would be a great buddy to relax and curl up on the couch with.Harlow is a very smart girl who loves her treats, so continued training would be a wonderful bonding experience! She can be unsure of new environments and may require some time to adjust. While she is getting used to her new space and family, Harlow's ideal home would have a safe and secure yard for her to enjoy, as she loves being outdoors. Once she has adjusted to her new life, Harlow would love to join her people on outdoor adventures.Harlow has recovered from a previous injury and is looking for a family that can help monitor and manage it to ensure she stays comfortable. Due to her shyness, she would do best in a home with older, dog-savvy children or adults only. While Harlow may do best as the only dog in the home, she could potentially make canine friends outside the house with the right introductions. With patience, she may also be open to having a feline friend. If you're looking for a gentle and loyal companion, Harlow might just be the perfect match!Do you think you could be Harlow's person? Here are some ways to find out:1.) Visit our centre to meet this pet during adoption viewings Friday to Wednesday noon to 3pm, learn more about their ideal match, and apply to adopt in person; or2.)

Story
Meet Rilia!Rilia is an energetic girl who's ready to find her forever home. She loves being around her people and is always eager for pets and attention. With lots of energy to burn, Rilia is looking for an active family that can take her on exciting adventures and long walks. She's playful and enjoys a good game of fetch, but can be a bit jumpy when she's excited. With some training, she'll learn to express her enthusiasm in other ways, and ongoing training will help keep her mind stimulated and tire her out. Rilia came into our care with her brother, but she would thrive as the only dog in the home since she prefers to keep her toys all to herself. However, with proper introductions, she may be able to make doggy friends outside of the house. If you're looking for a fun, energetic companion, Rilia might be the perfect match for you! 🐾🛥️🌊Do you think you could be Rilia's person? Here are some ways to find out:1.)

Story
Meet Enzo! This sweet and energetic guy is excited to meet new people and is always ready for a fun adventure. Enzo is eager to learn and would thrive with a patient and understanding guardian who can help him with his good manners. He's very playful and food-motivated, making training a great bonding opportunity.While Enzo has had canine friends before, he can become overstimulated and struggles with communication around other dogs. A home where he can be the only pet would be best. Enzo also needs training to manage his resource guarding behaviour around food with other dogs. If you have questions about this topic, please reach out to the staff to discuss!This charming boy loves being active and would make the perfect hiking buddy, though he does need some work on leash manners since he tends to pull when excited. ⛰️🌲🐾👣If you're looking for an affectionate, playful dog who's ready to learn and explore the world with you, Enzo might just be the perfect match!Do you think you could be Enzo's person?

Story
Meet Bella!Bella is a timid yet sweet girl searching for her forever home! Once she warms up to you, Bella enjoys gentle scratches and pets, but she's still learning how to be a dog. She'll need a patient, calm family to help her build confidence and experience the world around her. Bella hasn't had much exposure to the outdoors, so she will rely on her people to show her that it's a safe and enjoyable place. She is still working on leash training, so her adopters will need to continue this in her new home.Bella would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard where she can explore safely at her own pace.In her previous home, Bella has shown separation anxiety and would appreciate a household where someone is around for the majority of the day. She isn't afraid to be vocal and would do best in a home where she can voice her opinions! Due to her shyness, she would do best in a home with older children or dog-savvy children. Coming from a home with other dogs, she may thrive in a home with a calm, polite, and confident canine who can show her how to be a spoiled pup! 🌞Do you think you could be Bella's person?
