Is your home in need of a new four-legged friend? The Greater Sudbury Animal Shelter may be able to hook you up.
The shelter aims to adopt or foster every dog or cat who comes into its care.
Adoption fees are (maximum) $640 for dogs or $320 for cats. Fees include the cost of spaying/neutering, vaccinations, a one-year dog or cat licence, and microchipping.
“Fees may vary depending on the age, health and needs of the pet,” the shelter says on its website. “For example, an elderly cat or dog may be adopted for a lower fee than a kitten or puppy. Appointments are required for all adoptions.”
To adopt a pet, a driver’s licence or identification showing a current address is required.

This week we’re featuring Little Foot, an 18-month-old Anatolian shepherd mix. This extra-large doggo has some extra-large love to give.
“Looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a big presence? Little Foot might be your perfect match!” shelter staff wrote about Little Foot. “This miniature horse weighs in at over 100 pounds and is ready to find a forever home where he can roam and protect.”
Once Little Foot is comfortable, “he’s a total cuddle bug,” staff said.
The dog “loves” women and bonds deeply once he trusts a person. He has excellent guard dog instincts, and is “obsessed” with plushie toys, which he carries around with him.
Little Foot, is great when out for a walk; he doesn’t pull, just strolls along nicely, the shelter said.
It should be noted Little Foot is not a fan of cats (so a feline-free household is a must) nor is he a fan of men (a female-led household would be ideal). He also needs a rural property with secure space to roam, as he can be a fence jumper.
“Little Foot is looking for a home where he can be your shadow, your protector, and your snuggle buddy. If you're ready for a big dog with an even bigger personality, give us a call!”
