My story

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

Are you looking for a big love bug that will want to go everywhere with you? Well look no further as Bubby is here! This sweet man loves to get attention but can be a bit unsure of new people. Since being in foster he has followed his foster mom everywhere, even if she leaves the room to grab something he is her shadow and will be right by her side. This man loves his car rides and will sit so nicely in the backseat with his head out the window. If you are looking for the perfect partner in crime bubby is your man!

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!
