Pete's Story

Meet Pete! <br/><br/>Dogs: Well- Matched <br/>Cats: No thank you<br/>Kids: Older teens maybe <br/><br/>This sweet 9-month-old Aussie Cattle Dog mix came to us in late August scared, underweight, and unsure of the world. Since then, Pete has been working hard with our team and vet to feel better, gain some much-needed weight, and discover that life can be pretty wonderful. <br/><br/>Now at 26 lbs, Pete is a playful, energetic little guy with lots of drive and so much potential! He is looking for a special forever home that will continue building his confidence using fear-free, food-based, positive reinforcement training.<br/><br/>Because Pete is still learning to feel safe, and because food is very important to him after not having enough of it, he can be a little rough with his mouth when taking treats. For this reason, we are looking for a home without young children. Older, respectful teens may be a possibility.<br/><br/>We also think Pete could thrive with a well-matched, confident canine companion who can help show him the ropes of being a beloved family dog. <br/><br/>Pete has been vaccinated, dewormed and de-flead. He will be neutered and microchipped shortly—we wanted to give his body time to gain weight first.<br/><br/> Adoption fee: $400 + tax<br/><br/>Think Pete might be your boy? Email us at shelter@newwestcity.ca with any questions about Pete or our adoption process. The next step is to complete an adoption application.<br/><br/>Application: https://www.newwestcity.ca/database/files/library/NWAS_Dog_Adoption_Application_2020.pdf<br/><br/><br/>Petfinder Bio: https://www.petfinder.com/dog/pete-3b0fca36-9f6d-43c1-ae99-7eb3c161e877/bc/new-westminster/new-westminster-animal-shelter-bc105/details/

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!
