Delaney - APPLICATIONS CLOSED

April 13/ 26 <br/>Thank you for your interest in Delaney! We have already received several strong applications, and are no longer accepting emails of interest. At this time, we are not accepting more additional applications.<br/><br/>We truly appreciate the kindness and enthusiasm of everyone who wants to give one of our animals a loving home, and we encourage you to check our website regularly for other wonderful pets who are still looking for their match.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Delaney is a young puppy—a Rottweiler / Bernese Mountain Dog mix—two breeds known for their loyalty, intelligence, and affectionate nature. Dogs with this mix often grow into devoted, family‑oriented companions who enjoy being included in daily life. This type of breed blend typically thrives in homes that can provide structure, gentle guidance, and plenty of love as they grow and learn.<br/><br/>Delaney came to us at a very young age, and we don’t have much information about her early background. What we do know is that she has already shown herself to be sweet, curious, playful, and people‑oriented. She enjoys exploring her surroundings and engaging with those around her. We estimate Delaney is about 12 weeks old, and when fully grown she is expected to be around 60 pounds or more.<br/><br/>Training & Support<br/><br/>Like all puppies, Delaney is still learning about the world and will need guidance as she grows. She is just beginning her puppy journey and will benefit from continued support with house training, basic manners, leash skills, and socialization. Puppyhood is an important time to build confidence and set the foundation for lifelong good behavior.<br/><br/>Delaney will benefit from positive, reward‑based training methods that focus on building trust and encouraging good choices. These techniques use gentle guidance, patience, and rewards like treats, toys, or praise to reinforce desired behaviors. This approach helps puppies feel safe and confident as they learn and is especially helpful during their early developmental stages.<br/><br/>We recommend enrolling Delaney in a force‑free, low‑stress puppy training class or working with a trainer who uses positive reinforcement techniques to help her grow into a well‑mannered, happy adult dog.<br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/><br/>Delaney would do best in a home that understands the time, patience, and commitment required to raise a puppy. An environment where she can receive regular exercise, mental enrichment, and consistent routines will help her thrive. A home with a yard would be a bonus but is not required as long as her physical and social needs are met.<br/>She may do well with respectful children and other pets when properly introduced. With love, consistency, and guidance, Delaney is sure to blossom into a loyal, affectionate, and wonderful lifelong companion.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Ready to Apply?<br/><br/>If you would like to meet Delaney, please download an application from our website at:<br/><br/>vancouver.ca/adoption-form <br/><br/>Then, email your complete application to: animal.shelter@vancouver.ca <br/><br/>If your application is approved, we will contact you to arrange a meet and greet.<br/><br/>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>All adult dogs at Animal Services have veterinary health checks, and are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and defleaed (if necessary) before going to their new homes. <br/>Children: Yes 10+<br/>Cats: Yes <br/>Dogs: Yes <br/>Training Needs: Puppy Training Classes<br/>Adoption Fee: $391<br/><br/>If you live in the City of Vancouver, you will also need to purchase a dog licence.<br/><br/>For more information on our adoption process, go to vancouver.ca/adopt
