How do I adopt a dog in British Columbia?

Browse the listings above, find a dog you connect with, and apply through the rescue that lists them. LocalPetFinder aggregates adoptable dogs from rescues across British Columbia so you can compare them in one place, but each adoption is handled directly by the rescue.

Is LocalPetFinder a shelter?

No. LocalPetFinder is a free aggregator. We collect listings from local rescues and shelters into one searchable place. Applications and adoptions are always completed through the rescue that lists the dog.

How often are listings updated?

Listings are refreshed regularly from the rescues we track, so adopted dogs drop off and new dogs appear without you needing to check each rescue's website individually.
