Story
Diesel is a Siberian husky Great Pyrenees mix, I’ve had him for 6 years, he loves walks and is fairly well trained, he’s a quiet dog but is occasionally verbal. He was abused as a puppy till about 7months, he was amazing around other animals and children till about mid 2023 where he started showing signs of aggression towards other animals and children. He is well behaved when he is an only animal, I currently live with my mother who has two small dogs and I have a cat that he does not mind at all but with new animals or unfamiliar animals/people he is aggressive only when provoked ie. children touching him when he is giving verbal and visual body language signs to not be touched and or in his personal space like face to face or unwanted attention. Due to not being able to keep him in the household we have moved to I need to rehome him, I want to try and maintain a relationship with him if possible but if I cant rehome him I will have to euthanize him by November 20th-25th

Story
Howdy, my name is Atilla but my foster Mum only uses that when we’re practicing name attention, otherwise everybody calls me Tilly! I’m a very handsome and super smart, 2 year old, 80lb, male Doberman. I am being fostered in Vancouver, BC. I used to have a home of my own but due to a family tragedy I had to say goodbye to my baby sister and my original Mama- I lived with my Grandma for a bit before she surrendered me to Adoptadobe and my current foster Mum. I didn’t have a lot of city dog skills but I’ve been with her for a while now and we work on it every day. Our current focuses are leash manners, socialization and recall- my foster Mum is practicing for her dog training certification so she means business! I also have a bit of "stranger danger" that we are working on, and I am starting to let a few more people into my "circle" after slow and proper introductions. I am a typical velcro Dobe. I need to be involved in everything from laundry to shower time. My foster Mum says I am a really smart dog with loads of potential for a sports home if I can work through my reactivity - my arousal in the outside world was through the roof in the city because there was a person or a dog around every corner! I am currently taking Prozac to help me with this and have made tons of progress on my reactivity towards people and things, but will need an owner who can continue the work that me and foster Mum have done. I love people and I love to play with other dogs, but I require very slow and steady intros with lots of guidance. I would prefer a home without any other pets, but I have lived with a female dog of equal size in the past. I think foster Mum must be quite clever herself because I only had to bring her the ball one time and she learned how to throw it for me!  We both agree that I need a home with someone who can give me time and attention, without small dogs, cats or young children. I require a fenced yard for those days when walks and public spaces might be too much for me. I live with two cats now but I am convinced that they’re little ghosts living in the shadows- every time I see one I bark to tell everyone it’s there and then I run to get my foster Mum, but by the time we get back the ghosts are gone- my foster Mum says she wouldn’t trust me alone with them because I get so upset when they materialize in my space.  I really am the kind of dog that loves the stimulation of learning, so I would be delighted to help you out if you have a job for me. Anything that means you and I will be spending LOTS of time together is A Okay in my books. I settle well in a designated and puppy proofed room when my foster Mum goes to work but when she gets back it’s Tilly Time! I currently can’t be crated for more than 10-15 minutes, as I start to panic after that, but we’ve found a pet camera and closed off room works well. We’re still working on crating, but it’s not our top priority right now.   At my young age there is a whole world of possibility. I am longing to find my person so we can get started on our wonderful life together.  If you're someone who wants an intelligent, eager-to-please best friend, I'm right here ready for you. My current talents include SIDLE (recall), HUSTLE (let’s go/move), THAT’LL DO (enough), GET BUSY (toilet cue), SIT (tuck sit), DOWN (folding down), FETCH (I go crazy for chuckits), TUG and of course, SNUGGLE (I don’t even need to be told that one!).   Atilla has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. His adoption fee is $500. All adopters must agree not to use any punitive training methods including, but not limited to, leash corrections; pinning; alpha rolls; and prong, pinch, choke, shock, or e-collars.  Apply to adopt Atilla by submitting our adoption application at https://adoptadobe.com/adoption-application/. All adoptions require a home visit prior to finalization. Donate to Atilla’s care at https://adoptadobe.com/donate/. ##1831339##

Story
Beautiful husky girl Chiquita, born April 2023, is looking for a home. She is approximately 41 lbs. Her mum and littermates were often seen wandering in the area of the SPCA PV sanctuary and staff and volunteers saw them in deteriorating condition due to a diet heavy on garbage and took them in to give them the care they needed. After she got refuge in the sanctuary, she lived through a hurricane which heavily damaged the shelter, and she had temporary refuge in a home that unfortunately had a landlord that didn't allow dogs.. but in that time, she learned what a home is and what it is meant to be loved. Chiquita is an energetic girl so she’d love a yard with some space to burn off some zoomies but was in a foster home in an apartment. She loves the beach. Her foster mom just loved her, described her as a fast learner, and a great cuddler. She has learned basic commands - sit, come, waits to eat her food. She isn't destructive in the home and did well in the car. She is selective with other dogs, and can be reactive, and would squabble with her siblings. Kids make her nervous so she'd prefer a quiet adult home where she can learn more about the world. Chiquita would be best in a home without cats as she shows high prey drive. Video of Chiquita with her shelter friends: https://www.facebook.com/spcapv/videos/1401202434079126 She is now healthy and vaccinated. If you think you might be her happy home, please contact us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com for more information. Chiquita is currently in Mexico but would love to join her forever home in Canada

Story
COURTESY POST on behalf of owners, located in the Calgary area.  To apply for Maeby, please submit an application at adoptadobe.com/adoption-application. All applications for Maeby will be forwarded to her owners for follow up. Maeby’s adoption fee is a minimum $100 donation to Adopt-a-Dobe.    Per Maeby’s owners: Maeby is an almost three year old fixed female dobe with a heart way bigger than her anxiety. She came to us at 6 weeks old after her mama had to have an emergency hysterectomy due to a postpartum infection. She was an affectionate yet nervous puppers from day one. We immediately started working with trainers and dog daycares/walkers to try to get the tools we needed and the socialization she needed. She was asked to not return to two daycares due to her anxiety and two trainers made only minimal headway.  Her anxiety increased as time passed and she began to break out of kennels when home alone and chewed several walls waiting for us to come home. We could no longer take her around other dogs, as she was immediately reactive when with our family.  She was nervous around anyone outside of our family and had growled at our children’s friends. We finally connected with the right trainer and in combination with anxiety medication, Maeby was able to make some great progress in terms of greeting adults, walking on a leash, and recall. We then connected with a local small daycare and dog walking company who worked with Maeby to introduce her to other dogs and she now has a group of dogs she is comfortable playing with. Maeby began to be able to spend the day outside of her kennel at home without engaging in any destructive behaviours and  was literally smiling when greeting and welcoming adult guests into our home. We felt we were finally on a good path with her and the vet recommended weaning her off her medication, as it was always intended as a short term measure. She continued to demonstrate stability and progress. Unfortunately, despite never having had any issues with our children in the past, she recently bit our 6 year old daughter when our daughter approached her to pet her. We don’t know why Maeby reacted this way and are truly heartbroken at the position we are in as a result. Although the bite did not break the skin and as much as we love Maeby and are so proud of the progress she has made over the past 3 years, we do not feel we are in a position to address this particular behaviour with two children in our home. We believe she is capable of continuing to overcome challenges as she has proven herself to be and believe she would thrive in a household with no children. We are happy to pass on the name of her daycare so they can continue to work with her and you on dog socialization. We truly want what is best for Maeby and are hopeful we can find this beautiful, affectionate girl a loving home where she can be comfortable. Maeby’s favourite things include being with her family, soaking in any attention that comes her way, running along side a skateboard, playing at private off leash parks and staring into the depths of your soul. She’ll sleep in as late (or later) than you on the weekends and loves full body cuddles in bed. ##2131528##

Story
Bella is a one year old Belgian Malinois cross weighing 45 lbs. She was abandoned and scared living on a derelict old couch on the street – far too young to have to fend for herself, but she did. Bella is very smart, and smart enough sadly to know not to rush up to strangers, who likely were not always kind. In general she takes her time to assess without a great amount of confidence, but does recover to engage. Bella has good skills with other dogs and might enjoy a home with another dog. When tested with cats, she was nervous but kind and patient allowing them to assess her. Bella’s brain and young age mean she’d love a home that would enrich her through both mental and physical exercise, including playtime. She’s a joy to watch playing with other dogs, bowing down from her long legs. We think Bella would like a home with a yard. Bella is healthy, spayed and vaccinated. She is currently at the SPCA PV sanctuary in Mexico, and will be able to fly to Vancouver, Calgary or Edmonton (possibly also Vancouver island) or Seattle in fall when flights resume. If you think you might be the lucky home for her, and have a real couch that she might enjoy, write us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com and tell us a little about yourself, or go direct to our application: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyhugj-VqtY
