Wigo 's Story

Everyone, meet Wigo 🌶️<br/><br/>Dogs: Well- Matched <br/>Cats: Well- Matched <br/>Kids: No thank - you<br/><br/>A spicy little jalapeño from Brazil with a heart of gold and a lot of personality.<br/>Wigo is about 7.5 years young and came to us when his family moved back to Brazil and couldn’t bring him along. Since then, he’s shown us that he’s a total gentleman who just wants a calm, respectful life (and probably a comfy couch).<br/>He’s very dog-social and could happily live with a well-matched dog—he’s more of a “hang out and vibe” kind of guy than a full-time wrestler. No dog? Totally fine too. Wigo also seems very respectful of cats and may do well with a calm, dog-savvy feline friend.<br/>Wigo is honest about his feelings: new situations, the vet, or the groomer can be scary, and he’ll politely ask for space when he needs it. Because of this, future vet and grooming visits should go at his pace, and we recommend pre-appointment medication to help him feel more comfortable. For the same reason, Wigo would do best in a kid-free home where his boundaries are respected.<br/>The good news? Wigo is already neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, defleaed, and he’s even had his teeth cleaned. A fresh grooming session is coming up soon, too—glow up pending ✨<br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, spicy, mature companion who values respect, companionship, and a low-key lifestyle, Wigo might be your guy.<br/>Think he sounds like a match?

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!
