Hi, I’m Benji! I seem to be just a big overgrown pup who hasn’t learned any manners! I will need a dedicated and experienced owner to take me on. I’m a very friendly guy, I just don’t realize how big I am!
Overflow alert! Our facility is incredibly full. Last night we reached 39 dogs. How can you help? Take a dog on a week-long Doggie Date, adopt from Animal Services, spay/neuter and license your pets!

Hi, I'm Herbie! I’m your typical beagle, I love to use my voice and use my nose! I love to go exploring, my nose just takes me everywhere! I’m very friendly and I think everyone is my best friend...
#adoptme
Hi there, my name is Wilson!
You may have seen me on social media, as I have been looking for a home for quite some time now. I’m an older fella, but don’t let that fool you as I still love to be the life of the party.
Christmas Day miracle! 311 received a call on a stray dog struggling to walk in the bitter cold. An emergency W.A.S. Officer responded and the dog was recovered. The dog had been lost for 36 hours. She has reunited with her owner on Christmas Day!

Hi, I'm Paul! I came to Animal Services in a bit of rough shape, but I’ve already got an appointment with the groomers. I’m an extra large boy with extra love to give!
#DoggieDate
Noel was so friendly and happy to meet everyone at Grant Park Mall. He didn’t jump up or yank on the leash. He never barked once the whole afternoon and he listens well to sit, down, and shake. He is a very happy and well behaved and looking for a home for Christmas!
#adoptme
Hi I'm Carver! I’m very regal & proud. I’m very calm and docile and would love to snuggle up on the couch with you! However, I do love spending time outside and watching the world go by. If I sound like the dog for you, please ask about me today!

Alumni Update - Bella
It’s been a week since adopting Bella. She went from a very shy timid baby girl to a puppy that loves to cuddle and lounge with her new family! It’s nice to see her grow affection for us and her personality is finally starting to show! Thank you!
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Logan! Even though I am larger than most dogs, I am very much still a puppy that needs training and guidance. I don’t quite understand just how big I really am, so I do pull a little on leash and can be a bit of a bull in a china shop.
#adoptme
Wilson continues to be Winnipeg’s Most Unwanted dog! He has been in our care for over 6 months and still hasn’t been adopted. Do you know someone who has a house with a nice fenced yard and no pets who is home a lot? Tell them about Wilson...
#adoptme
Hi I’m Kindle! I’m a big, goofy, overgrown puppy! I’m a big goofball! I’m sure to bring my new family a few good laughs. I’m young, so I still have lots to learn! I hope you can show me the ropes!
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Fleece! I seem to be spunky and outgoing, a typical puppy. I still have lots to learn and I have a lot of training ahead of me. I can’t wait to snuggle and play with my new family.
Thanks to everyone who came out to our weekend dog adoption sale. 15 dogs were adopted! And thanks to the team of staff and volunteers that made it happen!

#DoggieDate
Rowan was an absolute hit at Kildonan Place mall. Everyone loved his colouring and how he would lean into them right away to get a good scratch. Rowan is a big time love bug always looking for approval cuddles and kisses.
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Maddy! I’m a very nervous pup that will need a very patient family. I just learned what a leash is a couple days ago! I’m still not the biggest fan, but at least I’m beginning to walk with it.
#DoggieDate
"Kylo did great on a doggie date. He was calm and quiet- even when he played with a tennis ball! All he wants is to be near people. We had 3 walks and he is a superstar on the leash! After walkies and treats we had a joint nap. He also loves car rides! 10/10 Kylo!"
#adoptme

#adoptme
Hi, I'm Troy! I’m a gentle giant! I’m such a sweetheart. I absolutely love people! I’d love to go for a couple of walks a day and then end the day with a good snuggle on the couch.
#AlumniUpdate
"I adopted Brody from Animal Services a few weeks ago. He LOVES people, playing with his rope and his ball. He’s a giant baby and loves belly rubs and cuddling any chance he gets. He’s even playing nice with a stray kitten I've adopted recently."

#DoggieDate
- Adoptable Douglas
"We took Douglas on a nice walk around the forks and he is a very good boy! Right away he jumped in the truck and was ready for the car ride! He sits nicely for treats and has the cutest smile ever..."
#DoggieDate
Moose is sweet and good on the leash. He met other people and dogs politely. Moose appears to know some basic commands, and stayed in a kennel at night. He did fine with meeting young children on the leash. He'd be a great addition to an active household.
#DoggieDate
to ADOPTED!
Congrats to Merry and her new family!
"We took her to get some toys and her own bed. She's already way more comfortable now that she knows she's really "home". Thank you for all your help in this process! We are so happy with our new fur baby."
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Clementine! I’m such a sweetheart! I’m very bubbly and happy. My favourite thing is to play in the snow! I’d love to join an outdoorsy family that will take me on lots of adventures.
AlumniUpdate: Faith (Home Street Dog)
Faith is fitting right in with our family and has really started to bond with our other dog Dixie. The first few days she was so timid. Now her tail is always up and wagging and she has become my shadow

Marley is the CALMEST dog I have ever met. She is sweet and an absolute dream to walk on the leash-heeling right next to me wherever we went. She is a real sweetheart and would make a great companion for someone who wants a chilled out dog...
#adoptme

#adoptme
Hi, I'm Burt. I have the cutest snout and the wiggliest bum. I’m all smiles almost all the time. I’m a big strong boy so it’s important for me to learn my manners, especially on the leash. Do you have the time to help me be the bestest boy?

-Tiger and Lady
"Both are sweet and gentle and walk well on a leash with no pulling. They did well when approached by other people and liked the attention. Tiger was a little hesitant though if someone passed us while we walked. They also travelled well in the car."
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Roku. I would love a big yard with a lot of room to roam and a family to take me on all kinds of adventures. I am also happy to settle down at the end of the day and loaf around with my people.
#adoptme
Hi, I’m Hank! I’m a powerhouse of a guy who needs a home with an experienced owner. I’m a love-muffin when I want to be but my size can be intimidating. I don’t have a lot of training, so I’m hoping someone will invest in me and help me become an amazing canine citizen!
#adoptme

Doggie Date - Maddy
We had the pleasure of taking Maddy out on a doggie date! She was only with us for a few hours, but in that time, she really opened up to us! She was a delight to walk, no tugging or barking, and loved being pet! She would be a wonderful adoptee!
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Gus! I’m a pretty unique-looking guy with my funky toes and my short tail! I’m a total sweetheart. I love to snuggle and cuddle! I could lay on my back and get belly rubs all day. I think that I’d be a great fit for just about any family.

#DoggieDate
Venti is close to perfect. When walking on a leash he is right beside you. He can be active and playful, but also relaxed on the couch. He does have a coat that needs to be maintained, and some help with his obedience. But he learns very well.
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Nelly! I have to admit, I am a bit of a nervous Nelly. I’m quite shy and independent. If you have the time and patience to help grow my confidence, I think we’d make a great match!

Hi, I'm Heinz! Not much is known about my history other than I will require dental surgery, so I might not have many teeth left afterwards. Other than that, I’m a super sweet, calm, laidback boy.
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Luigi! I’m just the happiest guy! I love people, and I just want to be around them all the time! I love running around and playing. I’m working on my obedience, I’m learning how to sit on command right now.

#adoptme
Hi, I'm Aspen! I’m a shy and reserved girl who is looking for someone to help me gain confidence! I think once I become comfortable in a home, I will become a goofy and energetic girl! I am very eager to learn if you have some treats!
#adoptme
#NorthernDog
Hi, I'm Bilbo! I’m a pretty shy guy. I’m very unfamiliar with all of the new things I’m experiencing, especially the leash. I can’t wait for my new family to help show me the good life.
#adoptme
Hi, I'm Jasmine! I don’t seem to have much prior training or life experience. Thankfully I have the disposition of an angel and when I’m with someone I can trust, I know I can bravely learn all about the world. Is that you?
