Jonesy may be a little shy when first meeting new people, but it doesn’t take long for his sweet personality to shine through. Once he’s comfortable, he’s all about attention, cuddles, and of course—anything that involves food! Jonesy also has a silly, goofy side that really shines when he’s playing with toys—he’ll keep you smiling with his antics. He can sometimes be a bit pushy when he wants something, but with consistent training and guidance, he’ll learn his manners and thrive. Jonesy would love to find a home where he can get plenty of love, patience, playtime, and maybe a few extra snacks along the way.

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!
