About Cedar

Meet Cedar! This sweet girl has recently returned to Woodbridge Regional Animal Control after being adopted previously. Cedar thrives in a home as the only dog; she wasn't comfortable sharing space with a canine sibling. She's a charming companion who adores people and is eager to please, making her very trainable. In fact, she learned to give her paw in just ten minutes during an office visit with our officers. Cedar is highly food-motivated, which makes training sessions fun and effective. She needs a home with children aged 12 and up, where she can receive all the love and attention she craves. Cedar enjoys playing fetch, racing around with her zoomies, and spending quality time with her family. She's ready to bring joy to a loving household. Could Cedar be the missing piece in your family?
