Story
Active energetic dog. ~26kg 5y. Loves to run and loves to chase balls. Loves kids. Loves people. Has never made strange with anyone. Good in the house, loves to sleep on the couch. Cuddly. Needs more time than we can devote to her. Free to a good home. No medical issues. Calm after a good walk or run. Great hiking in the woods though she has her own mind and loves squirrels and her recall is not great. Generally good about cats but gets excited and boisterous when they run or play. Cooperative with handling. Good about baths. Barks a bit but not excessively if she is kept active. Prefers to live in a single dog household. Fine with other dogs on walks or at the park or if she can do her own thing, but may be possessive about her owners attentions when she spends extended time with another dog. Never this way about people, never about food. Has completed multiple obedience classes and agility training. Kennel and clicker trained if you have treats. Quiet at night. Knows tricks.

Story
Hi, I’m Atilla (but you can call me Tilly!) I’ve been waiting a while for my forever family, and I think it’s finally time we meet! I’m a 2-year-old, neutered Doberman, and at 85 lbs, I’ve got a big heart full of love just waiting to be shared. I’ve been told I’m pretty handsome too—just wait until you see me! Now, let me tell you a bit about myself. I’m one smart cookie! I’ve learned my basic commands, and I’ve even dabbled in scent work and button training. Lately, I’ve been working on putting my toys away after playtime (I think I deserve extra treats for that one, don’t you?). I also enjoy canicross—if you’re looking for a jogging buddy, I’m working on being your perfect match! I love using my brain, and I’m always up for learning new things, so I hope my future family enjoys training and fun activities. Don’t let my active side fool you—I’ve got a soft, snuggly side too. Once I’ve had my playtime and exercise, I’m all about the cuddles. I love being close to my people and will happily curl up beside you for some cozy downtime. I am currently free-roaming when my foster Mum isn't home and that's worked for us - the crate gives me some anxiety, but I'm a very good boy on the couch.   I do have a few things I’m working on, though. I take prozac because I’m reactive to other dogs, and sometimes I get a little too excited on walks. So, I’d love a home with a fenced yard where I can run and play safely without having to worry about other dogs. Because of my reactivity, I need to be the only pet in the house, and I’d prefer a home without young children. I know I’ll thrive in a calm, predictable environment where I can be the center of attention—just me and my people.I’ve been waiting for over a year to find my perfect match, and I know my special family is out there. If you’re looking for a loyal, clever, and loving companion, I’m ready to fill that role and more. Could you be the one to give me the forever home I’ve been dreaming of? I'll be waiting to hear from you! With love (and a few tricks up my paw),  Tilly. 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, etc. 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

COURTESY POST Maeby (CALGARY, AB)

Doberman Pinscher

Female, Adult

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##

Keisha

German Shepherd Dog

Female, 5 yrs 3 mos

Story
5 year old Keisha is a shelter sweetheart. She is a shepherd mix weighing 52 lbs and she is full of affection. Keisha was originally found chained up, malnourished covering a hole she’d dug to protect her young pups. All of Keisha’s pups have since been adopted and all have done extremely well – very loving dogs, who exceeded all expectations after a tough start in life. After Keisha was rescued they learned she was not only hungry but blind – likely at the hands of human poisoning. As her pups grew they would guide her on walks making sure she came along for the adventure. Since their adoption, Keisha has taken newly abandoned pups under her wings making them feel safe and loved. Keisha is healthy and would just love her own family who will love her and give her the affection she deserves. 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). If you think you might be the lucky home for her, 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
