My story

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

Truffle is a big, lovable pup with a heart as rich as the earthy treasure he’s named after! This boy brings a special kind of magic wherever he goes, turning ordinary days into little delights with his cuddles, wiggles, and joyful bounces. With his wise and soulful eyes and sweet personality, Truffle is the kind of dog who makes every moment feel special.

He loves long, sniff-filled walks, all the pets, and the occasional playful game. True to his namesake, he has a nose for fun and adventure, always sniffing out opportunities for love, companionship, and maybe a hidden treat or two. Truffle isn’t asking for much, just a kind home where love (and tail wags) flow freely.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings warmth, whimsy, and a touch of earthy wonder into your life, Truffle is ready to be your forever friend!

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!
