My story

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

Bodie is a happy-go-lucky guy with a zest for life and a serious case of the wiggles. From the moment he’s out and about, his personality shines, he’s friendly, enthusiastic, and always ready for whatever adventure comes next. Whether he’s zooming around or engaging in a game with his favorite toys, Bodie brings big “let’s have fun” energy wherever he goes. He’s an active boy who loves to explore and interact, but he also enjoys moments of connection and working together with his people. Bodie clearly enjoys learning and engaging, it’s all part of the fun for him.

Bodie would be a great match for someone looking for a lively companion and a love for doing things together. If you’re searching for a dog who makes every day feel a little more like recess, Bodie might just be your perfect teammate!

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!
