Our sweet Ola still awaiting her perfect home!🥰 This girl has nothing but love to give and endless amounts of time to play⚽️. She really is one of the sweetest dogs we've had.
Ola is a beautiful long haired German Shepherd sitting at 4 years old. She is a sweet, playful, obedient, fun dog to have around. She loves to be outside, playing with her toys, jumping in the puddles or hanging out with her humans. She is always wanting to please and will do whatever she can to please her humans.🌻

Ola can be reactive to other dogs on leash when she is comfortable but has been doing well in the shelter with the right handler about not reacting to the other dogs. We believe in the right environment and an experienced large dog breed owner she will be able to overcome this. At this time we are looking for a home without other dogs or small animals so she can work on her training. Ola is such a wonderful dog we want to find her a home to help her flourish. She has lived with kids before. Ola is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea treated and dewormed. If you have any questions about her or are interested in meeting her please fill out an application. https://webforms.whitby.ca/Legal-Services/Pet-Adoption-Questionnaire

❤️🤍 CUPID HERE 💌 🤍❤️

Our amazing students and shelter staff have been hard at work prepping for Valentines Day! 💘

🎤 We heard so many amazing things about this initiative last year, with a few of our furry residents getting adopted because of this fundraiser! 👏

With a $30 donation to the shelter, everyone will receive joy! Your pets will love the gifts 🎁 picked out for them, your valentine will recieve a heartwarming update from the animal you’ve sponsored 📝, and the animals that are currently up for adoption will get another chance at finding love! ❣️

Each gift bag consists of:

1 Cat or Dog toy 🎾 🐁
1 Heart Balloon 🎈
1 Stuffie 🐻
Treats (Cat or Dog) 🥓
1 Carnation 🌹
Lindt Chocolate 🍫
& more!

Each bag correlates with an animal (one that’s currently in our care) that wrote a card for your loved one, including a dating profile and picture of them 🐶 🐈 💞. You will receive an update on that animal by March 14th 2026! The gift that keeps on giving, feel good moment knowing how your donation helped that animal progress in their search of a furever home 🏡! OR if they are still awaiting a family, take that moment to post about the animal - giving them more of a chance at being noticed! 🤞

🎯 4 lucky winners will be drawn for a private tour / play session with adoptable animals in our care - planned for a later date! 🎟️

Since the Carnation 🌹 in each gift bag is real, the gift bags must be picked up at the shelter on Friday February 13th or Saturday February 14th between 10:15am - 4:15pm ⏰.

🚨 Donations of $30 can be paid in person at the shelter with reservation 🚨

For more information about payment please Direct Message or email [email protected] 🐾 ❤️

Thank you for the support and all of the love to our shelter babies! 🐕 🐈‍⬛ 💘

🐦 Wildlife Update – Whitby Waterfront

Avian influenza (bird flu) has been confirmed in the area. Whitby Animal Services is closely monitoring the situation and working with the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative.

The risk of transmission from animals to humans remains very low. As a general precaution, residents are encouraged to avoid contact with sick or injured wildlife and bird droppings, and to keep pets leashed and away from wildlife.

If you notice a sick or deceased bird, please report it to Animal Services at 905-655-0283 and share the location so staff can follow up as needed.

For information on transmission and signs of avian flu in birds, visit the Region of Durham’s website at https://www.durham.ca/en/health-and-wellness/avian-influenza.aspx.

Thank you for helping us look out for our community, pets, and local wildlife. 💙
