Hugo
This handsome devil is a diamond in the rough. Like many shelter dogs, Hugo was probably adopted as a cute little puppy whose irrepressible energy and sometimes-not-so-great manners were ignored at first, and then became annoying once he grew into his size. Beneath his exuberance, though, is a sweet nature, a sharp mind and a strong desire to be a good boy.
Hugo loves people, seems to enjoy the company of other dogs, and is heart-breakingly good looking with his flashy coat and black eyeliner. He walks like a dream on leash and responds instantly if you call his name or hint that you might have a treat. A typical bully breed, he loves people and will almost always choose to snuggle or shadow a human over anything else.
Hugo has been learning clicker training with a volunteer and attending donated training sessions with Bad Dogs Gone Good and his progress has been outstanding. Where he once found it hard to focus and would try to play tug-o-war on his leash at every opportunity, he now knows sit, down, shake, look, leave it, stay, leave it and touch. He loves going on walks and has great manners on-leash, and is non-reactive even if another dog is barking at him. Hugo will need a confident handler, continued training and a little patience, but he is worth it – and then some. In the right home Hugo will be an amazing dog – just be prepared for strangers stopping him on the street to remind you how cute he is!
Hugo is currently at New Westminster Animal Shelter.

Sloan!
Sloan is a 5yr old neutered Boxer/pitbull mix. He has a solid, wonderful temperament and adores people
of all ages. He gets along with most other dogs.
Sloan is an energetic, strong guy and is looking for a home with an active person/family who will
channel his energy in fun, productive ways.
Sloan needs an experienced family, preferably with no young children due to his high energy. He also
requires a placement where his folks understand rules, boundaries and limitations and who are
committed to continuing with his training.
If you looking for a hiking and frisbee buddy by day and snuggler by night, Sloan is your guy!

Ivory !
Ivory is a very busy girl with a big personality. She needs to get into a home with a consistent routine, obedience training, and a whole lot of running (with her people of course). Ivory is a very busy girl, she is full of energy and needs to be kept active and stimulated. Ivory does know basic commands, she walks well on a leash and really does love people interaction, she just really needs a home that know the breed and have the time to dedicate to her. A family that do a lot of outdoor activities or someone who wants a new jogging partner would be ideal for her. Ivory has a lot of potential. She has lived in a home with children and is really good around people, she is just so busy and hasn’t been given the time she needs and has now developed some bad habits. Ivory will need an adjusting period once in a new home as she may have some separation anxiety, she should not be left alone outside unattended as she has been known to be a bit of an escape artist. Ivory will be a great candidate for training classes, to keep her mind stimulated and also give the new owner helpful information on training. Ivory may not be best suited for a family with toddlers as she is very hyper and still very jumpy, but she can go to a home with older children that have good doggy etiquette. In the right home with people that will dedicate the time to her that she deserves Ivory will be a wonderful girl.

Gable
Gable is a younger pit bull mix, likely just under 2 years old. He has lots of energy and needs an owner who can keep up! Gable has taken obedience classes and is very well mannered but, like all puppies, can get excited and jump up on occasion. Gable would be best in a home that has experience with dogs, and experience with is breed would be a bonus. Gable was in a home with another male dog, which didn’t work out. He would be best as the only dog in the home, but could possibly live with a laid back female. Gable is far too interested in cats and other small animals and should have a cat free home.

Dolly
Dolly, a Montreal Pit is still looking for a home!
Dolly…Better Than Ever!
Dolly is off at boot camp for a 5-week training session to make her more adoptable. Although her people skills are 10/10, she lacked the ability to socialize with other animals.
Having shown signs of being dog selective, she is now in the country working hard with a trainer learning to get along.
Dolly is a love machine and will do well as the only family pet. A home with a fenced in yard where she can burn some energy would be ideal.
Since she is an exercise “hound” she will look forward to accompanying her new people on long walks.
The bonus is that her adopters will get a hands on tutorial of all she has learned at the training center. If you are looking for a great friend and companion, consider Dolly.
