My story

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

Meet Miller, Your New Adventure Buddy!

Miller is a young, large breed mix with a big love for the outdoors and an even bigger heart. He’s looking for an active home where he can go on long walks, explore, and spend time with his people. He’s a talker and loves to “chat,” especially when he’s excited. Miller is still learning his basics, such as leash manners, sit, and not jumping up. But he’s eager to learn and thrives with consistent guidance. If you’re looking for a fun, energetic companion who’s always up for an adventure, Miller might just be your perfect match!

***Miller has a discounted adoption fee to help them find their forever home! Please note that all applicants must still follow our standard adoption process and meet this pet’s specific requirements in order to be approved for adoption***

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!
