We almost forgot to include Layla in our long-term dog adoption fee reduction—her fee is now $185, down from $330.

Layla is a smart, affectionate pup who’s ready for her forever home. She’s house-trained, loves a good belly rub, and picks up new tricks quickly—she already knows how to sit, shake paw, and lie down. She’s especially eager to please when treats are involved and will happily show off her skills for a little praise.

Layla recently had a meet-and-greet with two kids and couldn’t have been happier to make new friends. She was calm, gentle, and loved being petted—she showed no nervousness at all. Layla clearly enjoys being around children.

With women, Layla is relaxed and affectionate. She’s great with other dogs, both male and female, and handles her introductions like a champ. It takes her a little longer to warm up to men, but with a slow, patient introduction outside, she can learn to feel comfortable.

At mealtime, Layla listens to “wait” and will head straight to her bed until it’s time to eat. She’s well-mannered and adapts to new routines with ease.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s full of heart, quick to learn, and ready to be your new best friend, Layla might be your perfect match. She’ll thrive in a home that’s patient and willing to help her keep learning. Come meet Layla—she’s ready to steal your heart.

We're bursting at the seams again—our agency is caring for over 40 dogs, and it's all hands (and paws) on deck. The reason? We've welcomed a big influx of strays in the past few days, but sadly, adoptions have slowed way down.

If you've been thinking about adopting one of our long-term dogs, now's the perfect time to make a difference with a reduced adoption fee for these special dogs shown here. Maybe this is the little nudge you needed!

Not ready to adopt? You can still help our community by making sure your pets are licensed and spayed or neutered. Licensing helps us reunite lost pets with their families quickly, and spaying/neutering keeps our animal population healthy and safe. We all have a role in making our community a better place for every creature that calls it home.

Come visit us, spread the word, or reach out if you have questions. Together, we can give these dogs the loving homes they deserve. ❤️

Adoptions are done in person at 1057 Logan Ave:
Mon-Fri, 12-5:30pm
Sat-Sun, 12-4:30pm

There’s a lot happening at the agency lately—some good, some not-so-good, but all of it important for our community.

First up, the good: the number of people choosing adoption has been truly amazing. We’ve watched so many deserving dogs find their forever homes faster than ever, and it’s honestly the best feeling for both the pups and our team.

But there’s a flip side. We’re seeing more unclaimed strays coming through our doors each week. Every new arrival means another dog waiting, hoping for someone to take a chance on them.

One of those dogs is Mac. You might picture a big, intimidating guy when you hear his name, but Mac’s actually a little low-rider with short legs and a face that’ll win you over in seconds. He’s still working on his manners (aren’t we all?), but we believe in him. What he really needs is someone willing to get to know him and give him the support every dog deserves when starting fresh in a new home.

If you’ve been thinking about adoption, now’s a perfect time to stop by and chat with our team. You can also check out our digital adoption board for an in-depth look at all the dogs currently in our care. And keep an eye out—we’ll be posting about all the new arrivals later today!

You can help us (and the dogs!) in a couple of big ways:

1. Encourage your friends and family to choose adoption first. Every dog that finds a home through adoption gets a second chance, and it sends a strong message that rescue is the way to go.

2. Make sure your own pets are licensed. It helps us keep our services going strong and ensures we can help reunite lost pets with their families.

Thanks for caring—and for helping make our community a kinder place for animals. Hope to see you soon!

Adoption hours are:
Mon-Fri 12-5:30
Sat-Sun 12-4:30

🐾 Calling all proud Winnipeg pet parents! 🐾

Think your dog or cat has what it takes to be a calendar star? We’re putting together the Winnipeg Animal Services’ 2026 Pet Calendar, and we want to see your furry friends in the spotlight!

If you have a great high-resolution photo of your licensed dog or cat — especially if they were adopted from Winnipeg Animal Services, or if you snapped them at a local landmark or business — we want your submission! The winning pets will be featured in our 2026 calendar, shared with animal lovers all over the city.

📸 Submission guidelines:
• High-resolution digital images only (minimum 3000 pixels wide, 300 DPI, at least 4MB, .jpg format)
• Most phone photos won’t meet the standards — DSLR or pro camera shots work best!
• Pets only — no people, please. At least one animal should fill 2/3 of the frame.
• Clean, clutter-free backgrounds and sharp, in-focus images are a must.
• Colour photos, landscape orientation preferred.
• If your photo was taken by a commercial photographer, don’t forget to include a signed copyright release.

Ready to show off your pet’s best side? Fill out our submission form by August 18th for your chance to be featured!

☀️ Suns out, tongues out — meet the newest members of our pack! These happy pups are settling in, but what they really want is a home (and a yard, and a lap) to call their own this summer and beyond.

Thinking about adopting? There’s no better time. Warm weather makes those training sessions way less daunting (and way more fun for both of you). Plus, giving a dog a second chance is just about the best feeling there is.

Ready to meet your new best friend? Click the Petfinder link below or head to our Instagram bio for more info on each dog. Your future family member might just be waiting for you.
