Scooby is available through our `Adopt From a Foster Home` program. If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, please fill out the request form here: Adopt From Foster Form. Please do not make an appointment through our online booking calendar, as he is not available to meet on site.**Scooby is a Patient Paw, please ask about his reduced adoption fee!**Age: 3 yearsA bit about Scooby: (Mastiff/Great Dane Mix)- unknown history with kids; all interactions should be supervised; No Small Children due to Scooby`s size and energy levels- no cats (required)- has lived with a similar sized dog; select dogs okay pending successful introductionMeet Scooby! This delightful boy is a favourite with volunteers, as he`s very sweet and loves a good cuddle! He`s also playful, energeticm house-trained and has great potential to get along with your resident dog! Scooby doesn`t always realize just how big he is and sometimes he likes to show his love by jumping up to say hi! This can be overwhelming for young kids, so we are looking for a home with older children who are confident around dogs! Fortunately, with the help of his dedicated foster family and foster pup sister, he is making continual strides with polite greetings. Scooby loves a good game of chase or tug, and might be an ideal match for a similar pup looking for a playmate, or maybe just a human who enjoys playtime too! Scooby will benefit from an active family with lots of cuddles to offer, and some patience while he learns your routine and keeps building his skills! It`s no mystery that Scooby will be the perfect addition to someone`s crew - in fact, his foster family says you`ll be very lucky to have him! So what are you waiting for? Email us to meet Scooby today!

Story
Age: 4 monthsHe`s gentle, he`s snuggly, and he`s ready to find his forever home... meet Hugo!This sweet, polite puppy has awed his former foster parent with his great manners and love for cuddling and napping. He greets new people with a happy tail and quiet confidence. He`s a soft and thoughtful pup who enjoys toys, warm indoor spaces (snow is not his favourite!), and cozy time with his humans. Hugo has lived with cats in his foster home and did wonderfully, very curious and respectful. He`s also been an excellent houseguest: he sleeps quietly in his kennel, made regular trips outside, and even began letting his people know when he needed a potty break!Like all puppies, Hugo will need continued positive reinforcement training, structure, patience, and lots of love to help him grow into the amazing dog he`s meant to be. If you`re looking for a calm, cuddly companion, Hugo might be the perfect addition to your home! Come meet him at the shelter today!

Story
Age: 3 yearsWeight: 25.70 kgA little bit about Marie:- Unknown history with children, all interactions should be supervised- History of living with cats, introductions should be done slowly- History of living with dogs, potential for home with dog pending successful dog to dogMarie is a sweet, calm girl with a gentle heart, and she`s looking for a new family! She’s had a rough start, so new places and faces can make her a little shy, but she warms up quickly. She appreciates being approached and talked to gently and prefers to come to you for pets and attention. Once she`s comfortable, she`s all about the snuggles!Marie has lived with both cats and dogs, though we are not sure what these relationships looked like. Another down-to-earth feline or dog friend may be a good match. In shelter, we`ve discovered that she is sensitive to loud noises and will bark when there is a disturbance near her. Due to this, Marie would do best in a quieter, relaxed home where she can feel secure and loved. Marie is also very impressive on leash and enjoys slow walks that allow her to stop and smell the flowers.If Marie sounds like she could be the perfect new addition to your family, come meet her today!

Charlotte is available through our `Adopt From a Foster Home` program. If you are interested in scheduling a meeting, please fill out the request form here: Adopt From Foster Form. Please do not make an appointment through our online booking calendar, as she is not available to meet on site.**Charlotte is a Patient Paw, please ask about her reduced adoption fee!**Age: 2 years oldWeight: 31.6 kgA little bit about Charlotte:- Unknown history with children; all interactions should be carefully supervised by an adult- Unknown history with cats and other small animals; all introductions should be done slowly over a period of time- History of reactivity around other dogs; potential for another dog in home pending successful introduction.Meet Charlotte! This lovely lady may be a little unsure in the busy shelter, but give her some space and she truly shines. When she’s outside of her kennel, Charlotte is a delight — full of charm, curiosity, and a little bit of princess flair.Charlotte loves her walks, but don’t forget to pause for very important business: BELLY RUBS! She also enjoys carrying her beloved stuffies around and proudly showing them off — after all, what princess doesn’t want to be spoiled? She’s looking for a home where she can enjoy quality walks, plenty of attention, and a calm, safe space to decompress. While the shelter can be overwhelming for her, get her outside, and Charlotte truly blooms into the sweet, playful, and affectionate dog she is.If you can give this little princess the patience, love, and belly rubs she deserves, Charlotte is ready to become your loyal and enchanting companion.

Story
Age: 2 yearsWeight: 32.7 kgA little bit about Copper: - kids unknown, 15+ recommended due to over-stimulation and nervousness - cats / small animals unknown - dogs unknown, potential for select other dog pending successful dog-to-dogBouncy, energetic, and smart Copper is a big boy looking for his new home! But not just any home; he`s looking for a calm, dog-savvy family that can go slow with him, help him learn better manners, and give him all the snuggles and playtime he deserves!When you first meet Copper, he can be pretty nervous and has some barrier reactivity. However, as soon as you offer him a treat, he`ll recognize that you`re not actually all that scary. He even does the most adorable head tilts while you talk with him, and is very eager to show off his skills to earn more treats! But Copper doesn`t realize how big he is and if he gets too rambunctious, he can get jumpy and mouthy. That`s why he`d do best in a home with teens 15 years old and up that can recognize when Copper is getting too amped. Luckily he`s a very smart boy and eager to learn, especially for those ever-so-tasty treats! Like most pitties, Copper does have some allergies and will require a hypoallergenic diet and medication to keep skin issues at bay. It`s unknown how Copper would do with other animals in the home, but the adoption counselors can help go over introductions when you come to meet him! If you have a soft spot for dogs with big noggins (and bigger hearts), then Copper just may be the dog for you!

Age: 2 yearsWeight: 44.5 kgA little about Joaquin: - kids unknown - cats / small animals unknown - limited history with other dogs, potential for select other dog following successful dog-to-dogA big, goofy boy with a love for snow, meet Joaquin! There`s nothing more he loves than playing, bouncing around being a silly boy, and getting lots of tasty hypoallergenic treats! Because Joaquin can be quite exuberant and gets easily over-excited, he`ll do best in a home that would be able to help properly re-direct him so he can learn proper doggy manners. Having lived with other dogs before, there`s a chance that Joaquin may do well with another dog in the home following a successful dog-to-dog! It will also be important that Joaquin`s family is prepared to feed him a hypoallergenic diet as he is prone to skin issues. So what are you waiting for? Come say hello to Joaquin today!
