Beth's Story

Children: no thank you<br/>Cats: *possibly, well-matched<br/>Dogs: no thank you<br/><br/>Beth is an adorable black lab lookalike looking for a new home to call her own. Sadly, she has grown up here in the shelter. She is eagerly looking for her furever family!<br/><br/>Beth is full of typical adolescent mischief and kisses. She is bouncy, playful, and eager to learn. She will do well with non-aversive, positive-based training to help her learn how to be the best dog she can be. She is very bright and loves to do nosework games with our staff and volunteers. We think she would do best with a safe yard to access for play and potty breaks.<br/><br/>Given Beth's exuberance, we think a home without children would be best. Teenagers could be suitable.<br/><br/>Beth would do best in a quieter area, ideally out in the suburbs or even the country, not a bustling neighbourhood. She has shown some reactivity to other dogs and to some people while out on walks. With time and space to get desensitized to these things, she does well. We have been using an exercise called "Look at That" where she gets rewarded for looking at a trigger and not barking. <br/><br/>Beth has not been exposed to cats at the shelter, but we anticipate that she will likely want to chase cats and other small animals, given her puppy antics. She could *possibly* live with very confident cat.<br/><br/>Beth has been exposed to crate-training. She will go into the crate on her own for a nap. She has also been muzzle-trained, which is a great tool for any dog to have.<br/><br/>Beth is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and has had flea and worm preventative treatment. She is doing well on a hypoallergenic diet. Her date of birth is November 15, 2022. She weighs approximately 67 lbs in May 2024. Beth's adoption fee is $350 + tax.<br/><br/>If you have questions about Beth, please feel free to contact us.

New Westminster Animal Shelter's Adoption Policy
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN AN ANIMAL, please submit an application form. This is the FIRST step in the adoption process. Please do NOT email us just to express interest. https://www.newwestcity.ca/services/animal-services/animal-shelter Our animals have unique personalities and needs. Our goal is to find the most suitable home for them and the most suitable pet for you. We make every effort to place animals in “forever” homes so they don’t find themselves back in a shelter. They’ve already lost their home once, and we don’t want them to go through that again. All applications are reviewed by two shelter staff members. We also conduct a phone interview, at which time we will address any questions or concerns you may have. Typically, we are able to inform applicants within 72 hours. If your application has been approved, we will then schedule a time for you to come pick up your new family member!
