My story

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

Pinto is a 10-month-old bundle of sunshine with paws that seem permanently set to “go.” This happy pup is full of youthful energy, wagging enthusiasm, and a whole lot of love to give. He greets the world with bright eyes and a tail that never quits, always ready for the next adventure or cuddle break.

Pinto thrives on playtime, enjoys staying busy, and would love a home that can match his zest for life. Whether it’s walks, games, or learning new things, he’s eager to be your sidekick. After burning off some energy, he’s more than happy to soak up affection and remind you just how sweet he is.

If you’re looking for a fun, loving companion who will keep your days lively and your heart full, Pinto is ready to bounce right into your life.

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!
