"Dodge" This guy is about 2 yrs old & has sadly been in & out of the shelters for his whole life! He has become accustomed to shelter life. It is very routine which he finds comfort in. He really was nervous about being leashed & about human affection. He didn't know what to do with it & found himself highly stimulated which in turn caused him to make wrong choices. However.....in the past short while "Dodge" has improved greatly. The officers have been working very closely with him & we are proud of our young man! If you have a firm but loving home preferrably with experience in this particular breed or at least exp in large strong minded dogs then please come & meet him! "Dodge" is also featured on The Animal Show that airs on Shaw Cable.
Who We Are
The City of New Westminster Animal Shelter is a city run municipal animal shelter. We re-home the homeless and abandoned animals of the city of New Westminster. Our mandate is to provide customer service excellency to both humans and animals and to protect the most vulnerable members of society through humane education and through the enforcement of the City's animal control bylaw. We strive to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of the animals in our care.
Adopting a friend
Adoptions are not first come first served. We base our adoption procedure on the best fit for the animal and the potential adopter. Application forms are available at the animal shelter office. Please note that we do not accept applications from individuals who have not met the animal they are applying for, therefore, appications are not available online. The application process is approximately 24-48 hours and we require references regarding previous animal ownership.
Come Visit Us!
Adoption hours are 10:30-3:30 seven days a week excluding stat holidays.
We also have a volunteer program. If you are interested in helping a shelter animal by providing much needed socialization / dog walking / animal grooming, please contact Johanna Church by email: jchurch@newwestcity.ca for more details.
