Our Mission
Our pro-adoption shelter places 200 to 300 dogs and small animals every year with families and homes that best meet the needs of the animals.
We have dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. While puppies are popular, older dogs can be great pets, too. They are smart and grateful companions that won't leave you with puppy puddles or chewed-up slippers. Why not enrich your life and that of an older dog?
We also adopt out small animals including hamsters, birds, rats, guinea pigs, and sometimes reptiles.
Adoption Policy
Please note, in order to create a calm environment for our adoptable animals, we use appointment system for viewings. This ensures that the animals are not stressed out by having too many visitors, and that our potential adopters are well-served by our Animal Care Attendants.
How to Adopt a Pet:
Step 1 - View the pets available online and fill in an adoption application form (see link below).
Step 2 - Email the application form to:
animal.shelter@vancouver.ca
Step 3 - If you're a match, we will email you to arrange a viewing appointment.
If you're coming to view a dog, please note the following:
You will be able to take it for a walk at the viewing appointment.
When you visit, please bring everyone who lives in the home, including children. If you already own a dog, you'll need to bring them too. Please let our staff know if advance if you have another dog, as we will need to be adequately prepared for a dog meet-up.
