Every stray animal that enters the care of the Georgina Animal Shelter is held under a 5 day redemption hold not including the day the pet arrives or any day in which the shelter is closed to the public. During the redemption period the shelter is unable to consider any adoption requests. Georgina Animal Shelter’s first priority is always to reunite lost pets with their owners. Once the holding period has ended visit Georgina.ca/PetAdoption to inquire about Georgina Animal Shelter and Adoption Centre's adoption process

It sounds friendly and social, but for many dogs, constant introductions can actually create stress rather than confidence.

True socialization isn't about saying hello to every dog. It's about helping your dog feel calm, secure, and comfortable in a variety of environments.

Some dogs love making new friends.
Others prefer space.
Both responses are perfectly normal.

Allowing dogs to choose their interactions helps prevent fear, frustration, and negative experiences that can influence future behavior.

Signs your dog may prefer distance include:
• Turning their head away
• Slowing down or stopping
• Lip licking or yawning
• Hiding behind you
• Tense body posture

Sometimes, the best walk is simply walking together.

Respecting your dog's comfort zone builds trust and creates a safer experience for everyone involved.
