​​Fall in Love. Change a Life. Adopt a Dog.

This special little girl is Sydney. She has a few challenges and so will need special attention. She is blind. Her eyes were removed due to complications resulting from glaucoma. She gets around well, proceeds slowly until she has a feel for her surroundings and then she does really well. On top of this she is diabetic and requires insulin shots twice a day and her diet has to be watched. Fortunately, she is very good about having the needles and loves to get a treat afterwards.

***Adoption Pending*** Blue is an 8 month old male Bully X - slate grey colour, approximately 50 lbs. Blue loves people and is good with older kids 5+. He is ok with dogs, needs more socialization and work on manners. Not recommended for homes with small pets. He's a sweet guy, nervous at first but warms up quickly. He's an active guy, so a fenced yard is recommended. He is scheduled for vaccinations and neuter and is ready to meet a new family. Please call 519-372-1911 for an appointment to meet this sweet guy.

Meet Timber. He was a little shy for the first photo-op but now is ready to join his sister/cousin, Sherri...looking for a new home. Timber is approximately 3 years old, Shepherd/lab/dobbie X, neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. He is nervous but putting on a brave face as he explores the world. He came from a hoarding situation and never had much exposure outside of his home. Because he's nervous, he'll do best in a quiet home perhaps with a confident furry friend to show him the ropes. Not recommended for a home with small children. He is active when he is relaxed so as he gets more comfortable he will need activity. He is starting to really enjoy his walks so would likely be a great jogging companion once he's come along a bit. Call 519-372-1911 for an appointment to meet Timber.

Meet Sherri. Sherri is approximately 3 years old, medium sized, Shepherd X. She is extremely nervous and hasn't had much exposure to the outside world. She came from a hoarding situation along with some siblings/cousins. We also have her brother, Timber. She will do best in a quiet home with people who can help her gain confidence and learn how to be a dog. She would likely do well with a confident laid back dog to help show her the ropes. She is spayed and vaccinations are up to date and she is ready to find her forever family. Please call 519-372-1911 for an appointment to meet girl.

***Adoption Pending*** Cash is a sweet 4 year old male Poodle X. Cash is nervous of new people but does warm up. He is active and a bit skittish and so better with older children (10 years or more). A fenced yard or farm setting would be ideal for Cash to give him the room he needs to run. He is neutered, will be up-to-date on vaccinations and is ready to meet his new forever family. Please call 519-372-1911 for an appointment to meet this guy.

Adopting a Dog

 Contact Us/Visit Us  at the shelter by appointment. Appointments are typically booked between 9 am - 11 am. During your visit, you will spend time with your prospective pet and, in the case of dogs, go for a short walk on the grounds.

Adoption is a significant decision and our policy requires a minimum of two visits before making the choice to adopt. Dogs must meet all people and dogs that are typically in the household during the visits to ensure compatibility.

If the adoption proceeds, you will complete an adoption agreement and will be provided additional information including our return policy. 

The fee, $400 for dogs and $500 for puppies 6 months and under, is payable in cash, debit or by eTransfer.   Note: Fees are adjusted for senior animals.

The Grey-Bruce Animal Shelter is committed to ensure that all cats and dogs that pass through our adoption facility are vaccinated, spayed or neutered and all dogs micro-chipped. However, there will be SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES when these procedures cannot be performed prior to adoption. The Shelter manager shall determine which circumstances are deemed to be special. Where such special circumstances exist, an adoption will only be permitted if the adopter agrees to the terms of and signs the GBAS /ADOPTER/SPAY NEUTER AGREEMENT which can be obtained at the Shelter front desk at time of adoption.
