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!

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 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.

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.

"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!"

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.
