( PEOPLE.com ) -- Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber squeezed in some very public displays of affection at a hockey game in Canada on Saturday night , but just one day earlier , they made a decidedly more private outing to a local animal shelter -- and quietly adopted a dog . Winnipeg animal rescue D'Arcy 's A.R.C . got a surprise visit from the young lovebirds , who stopped by for some canine therapy . `` They spent a lot of time with the puppies , '' the rescue 's chief executive officer , D'Arcy Johnston , tells PEOPLE . `` I was told that [ Gomez ] was missing the dogs that she has at home . '' Gomez , who is currently on tour and performed in Winnipeg over the weekend , owns five rescue dogs and has advocated publicly on behalf of animal rescue . During the hour she and Bieber spent at the shelter , they zeroed in on a 10-week-old husky mix and fell in love -- puppy love , that is . `` I was n't expecting her to adopt a dog while she was on tour and has a busy schedule , '' Johnston says . Gomez went through the standard screening process and was able to leave with the puppy , which she named Baylor , that day . `` Baylor probably would have had a bad life or a very short life , '' Johnston says . `` But he got rescued and brought to our shelter and is now going to live a very good life .
