Story
Quick Facts Name: Damon Age: Estimated 7 months Gender: Male Neutered: Yes Breed: Border Collie mix Color: Black and white Weight: 12.5 kg Height: 48 cm (to the shoulder when standing on all fours) Health o Vaccinations: Up-to-date, including rabies and comprehensive vaccinations. o Heartworm Test: Negative (tested in July 2024). My Story Hello! I'm Damon, a lively and clever Border Collie mix who's always ready for an adventure. My story began on a tough note-I was found lying weak and dehydrated on the streets. Thankfully, kind people noticed me and brought me to safety, where I was nursed back to health. Since then, I've blossomed into a strong, happy pup, and now I'm ready to find a family who's as enthusiastic about life as I am! My Social Side True to my Border Collie roots, I'm full of energy and love to play. Whether it's chasing after toys, playing tug, or running in wide-open spaces, I'm in my element when I get to move and explore. I also enjoy playing with my dog friends, and while I can be a little rambunctious, it's all in good fun! I'm happiest with buddies who don't mind my playful style, but I know how to be gentle when the situation calls for it. When it comes to people, I might be a little shy at first-especially around younger children who make sudden moves-but once I get comfortable, I warm up quickly and enjoy gentle pets and attention. I even don't mind being picked up into a cozy hug! I've also been practicing my manners and obedience skills in a training program, where I'm impressing everyone with my intelligence and eagerness to learn. My Energy Level & Walks My energy level is pretty high, so outdoor adventures are essential for me to burn off steam. After a good play session or a nice walk, though, I settle down happily and relax. On walks, I can get a bit excited and pull on the leash, but I respond well to gentle guidance. I'm naturally focused on my human, so with a little training, I'm sure I'll be a great walking buddy. More About Me As for my routine, I'm a big fan of outdoor bathroom breaks, and I'm learning about scent marking when in new places-it's just my way of saying hello! I'm pretty quiet at home and rarely bark, but I might give a little yip if I want something. Last Message Overall, I'm looking for an experienced family, ideally one who understands Border Collies or active, intelligent dogs like me. I'll thrive in a home where I can get plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation, as well as consistent guidance. With my smarts, boundless energy, and loving personality, I'm eager to be someone's loyal and playful companion. Could you be the one to give me my forever home?

Story
Quick Facts Name: Louis Age: 3.5 years old (born in 2021)  Gender: Male  Spayed: Yes Breed: Border Collie & Jindo Mix  Color: White with beige spots  Weight: 17kg  My Journey I had quite the adventure before getting here! I was once in a shelter, facing an uncertain future. On the very last day before my time was up, a kind rescue group stepped in and saved me. There was even a mix-up where another pup was rescued in my place, but in the end, everything worked out, and now I’m safe and ready to find my forever home! My Health Fully vaccinated Neutered Heartworm treatment completed (August–October 2024, Stage 1) Heartworm retest coming up soon My Personality I may be a little reserved when meeting new people, but give me a treat, and I’ll warm up quickly! I’ll even let you give me gentle pets once we become friends. I like to take my time getting to know someone, but once I trust you, I’ll remember you forever. I have a calm and balanced personality, and I enjoy both outdoor playtime and relaxing at home. I love meeting other dogs and will happily say hello to new furry friends! When I see a cat outside, I might stop and watch for a moment, but I always listen when my person guides me along. My Favourite Things Exploring the Outdoors – I love my walks and enjoy getting fresh air. Making New Dog Friends – I have a friendly and playful nature. Tasty Treats – The fastest way to my heart! Life at Home I’m a quiet and well-mannered pup who doesn’t bark much. I’m used to outdoor potty breaks, and I don’t guard my food from people or other dogs. I’m still getting used to car rides—I can handle short trips, but on long rides, I sometimes get a little queasy. I also prefer not to be in a kennel for too long, but with time, I settle in and relax. One thing to know about me: I have a great memory! If I’ve had a not-so-fun experience, like a vet visit, I might be a little cautious the next time I see that person. But don’t worry—I never react negatively, I just like to keep my distance at first. When I visited a home with a cat, I was very curious but stayed polite. I approached gently to sniff, showing my friendly and respectful nature. My Ideal Home I’m looking for a loving family that will give me time to adjust and build trust. If you’re patient and kind, I’ll be your most loyal and loving companion! A Calm & Loving Home – I bond deeply with my people and thrive in a safe, caring environment.A Friendly Dog Companion (Optional) – I enjoy socializing with other dogs, so I’d love a furry sibling!Outdoor Adventures – I appreciate time outside, followed by peaceful relaxation at home. Special Notes If you’re looking for a gentle, intelligent, and affectionate companion, I just might be the one for you! I can’t wait to start my next chapter with my forever family. ##2318483##

Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Currently in a Seattle foster home Cola is a bright and clever pup who was sadly abandoned but has kept his happy and loving spirit. Rescued just in time from a shelter, he’s now ready to find his forever home! Cola is smart and well-trained—he already knows sit, down, shake, and crate and picks up new commands quickly. He loves playing fetch and tug-of-war, but indoors, he’s calm and well-behaved. He sleeps peacefully in his own space and doesn’t struggle with separation anxiety. He’s not too interested in other dogs and may be a bit wary of those who bark at him, so he’d do best as the only dog in the home. He absolutely loves walks but needs a little guidance to stop picking things up from the ground. Cola is friendly with new people and doesn’t fear adult men. While he tends to bond more with grown-ups, he’s also gentle with kids. He enjoys car rides and waits patiently at the vet, even when he’s a little nervous. With a loving and respectful owner, Cola will shine as the loyal, affectionate, and well-mannered companion he’s meant to be. He’s the perfect mix of playful and calm—all he needs now is a family to call his own!

Border Collie

Male, 2 yrs
Vancouver, BC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Currently in a Toronto foster home Alex is a Border Collie mix who was neglected by his previous owner before being rescued. Despite his traumatic past, he loves the company of people and has a friendly personality that gets along well with other dogs. Alex loves to get close to people and will often gently beg for affection. He finds great joy in playing together with humans and enjoys receiving tasty treats. Because he enjoys human attention so much, he may occasionally show signs of jealousy towards other dogs. However, he is currently undergoing basic training at our facility, where he is proving to be a quick learner due to his intelligence. Since Alex has never lived in a home environment, he will need house training. He may have accidents indoors while adjusting to his new surroundings, so patience and understanding will be essential. However, with a consistent schedule for outdoor potty breaks, he will adapt well. Border Collies are highly intelligent and eager to learn, making them excellent candidates for training and bonding. With the right guidance, love, and care, Alex will grow into a well-mannered and devoted companion for life.

Cattle Dog Pointer

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Maple is a gorgeous sweet girl who was dumped with her siblings at a farm not far from the SPCA PV sanctuary. She was very popular with tourists and was getting lots of attention from potential adopters, but while she was waiting for a flight to her adoptive home in Alberta she had to see a vet for an injection, and she moved and they hit a nerve, which caused some nerve damage in her back leg. Unfortunately she was held back for rehabilitation. She has improved but her foot can still drag so she has to wear a bootie. She gets around well and loves to play (even with cats). She is otherwise healthy, spayed and vaccinated. If you think you might have room in your heart and home for Maple, we'd love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com, or go direct to our application: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw (Please check your junk mail in case we get re-directed)
