About dog adoption in Gander

No rescue currently lists adoptable dogs directly in Gander on LocalPetFinder, so this page does the next best thing: it pulls the live adoptable dogs from the St. John's area, roughly 210 km away, into one place for Gander families, alongside any dogs owners list for rehoming in Gander itself. Listings refresh regularly, and every profile links straight to the rescue or owner to apply.

Adopting from a rescue a drive away is normal in Newfoundland and Labrador: most rescues arrange a meet and greet at the shelter or foster home once your application is in, so you typically make the trip once or twice. If nothing here fits today, the alert below tells you the moment a dog is listed in Gander or the St. John's area, and if you need to rehome a dog, you can list them free with Gander as the location.
