German Shepherd Dog and Labrador Retriever Dogs Available for Adoption in New Westminster, British Columbia

Meet Minnie 💛

Dogs: Well- Matched
Kids: Unknown
Cats; Well- Matched

This sweet senior “Heinz 57” girl is looking for a soft place to land. Minnie came to us after her beloved owner suffered a stroke and could no longer care for her. Sadly, this isn’t her first time in a shelter—but we’re determined to make sure it’s her last.

Minnie previously found a home through the SPCA’s Drives for Lives program after being brought in as a stray from up country. She’s spent the last few years in a loving home, and now, at approximately 10 years old, she finds herself searching once again for someone to love her through her golden years.

Minnie is the definition of a gentle soul. She’s quiet, kind, and simply enjoys companionship and comfort. She tends to be fairly indifferent to other dogs—she doesn’t seek out play or engagement, but she’s also not bothered by them. Because of her calm nature, we think she could potentially live in a home with a cat. While we don’t have a history of Minnie with children, we would consider a home with respectful kids given her gentle temperament.

Minnie is spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, and treated for fleas.

As a senior lady, Minnie does have a few medical needs. She has some food sensitivities and is on a special diet, and she is being treated for hyperthyroidism and is on pain management. We’re happy to discuss her monthly care costs with any potential adopters—what she needs in care, she gives back tenfold in love.

Minnie’s adoption fee is $250 + tax.

If you have a soft spot for a sweet, deserving senior and want to give Minnie the loving home she truly deserves, please fill out an application below. Let’s make sure her next chapter is her best one yet 💕
