Dogs for adoption

Here are some important questions to review before you make the decision to adopt a dog:

1. Are you physically and economically able to adopt and care for a dog?

2. Remember that having a dog is a long commitment, possibly 15 to 20 years. Are you ready to take on such a commitment?

3. Will the dog be left on its own all day?

4. Do you have time during the day to spend a couple of hours with your dog?

5. Will you have the patience to train your dog?

6. Do you have someone willing to care for your dog if you go on holidays or are ill?

Once you've given thought to the questions above and have decided to adopt a dog, take a look at the dogs that we have available for adoption below prior to coming to the shelter. You can then either contact the shelter by telephone or email and tell them the dog(s) you'd like to see or come directly to the shelter with the list. It may be better to make contact by telephone or email first, as some of our dogs are in foster homes and not at the shelter. After speaking with you, the adoption team will be able to determine the dog that is the best match for you.
