Good with cats,

Story

Meet Blossom! This sassy pink poodle came into our care when her owner sadly passed away. In the short time we have known her, we have learned that she is friendly and charming and really enjoys being around people and making new friends. We know that Blossom previously lived with a cat - so she might enjoy the company of a relaxed resident cat. Blossom has demonstrated to us that she is highly intelligent and knows quite a few commands! We have also noticed that she easily becomes familiar with new people and can become attached, and once separated can become anxious. However, this is something Blossom is actively working on and she is seeking a person who can help her feel more comfortable. Please note that we are currently working on having her groomed and returned to her natural colour ;) Come meet Blossom today!Please come into the shelter during visiting hours if you would like to meet me. While we do welcome online applications, in person meets have top priority.dogs:https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/Our visiting hours are:Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday: 12-5Thursday, Public Holidays: closedSaturday, Sunday: 12-4 Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 20.7 Age: 1yrs 6mths 0wks

Charlie

Neapolitan Mastiff/Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young

Kelowna, BC

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Charlie is a young, energetic, and strong male dog who came to us as a stray, so we don't know much about his past. He's a true goofball, full of playful energy and always up for fun. While he may not be fully housetrained or socialized to everything yet, he's very responsive to positive reinforcement, especially with food rewards. Charlie loves playing tug of war and running around with his rope toy, shaking it with excitement. He's still learning some manners, like not jumping up, but he can easily be redirected with a treat scatter or by asking him to sit. Charlie has been making great progress with force-free training methods in the shelter, and he'll thrive in a home with a dedicated owner willing to continue his training and socialization. We're unsure how he would do with other dogs or animals, so if a family with another dog is interested in adopting him, a meet-and-greet will be required to ensure they are compatible and safe to go home together. With his goofy personality and eagerness to please, Charlie is sure to become a loving and loyal companion for the right person or family who can give him the time, attention, and structure he needs. He is not neutered yet, but he has an appointment booked to be neutered on Dec 5th, so he would have to be a foster to adopt until that appointment. If you believe this goofy, handsome boy is the furever family friend you are looking for, please complete an online Dog Pre-Adoption Questionnaire at:https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/Walk-Ins are welcome - The Centre is open Tuesday - Saturday Noon to 4 pm (except for Stat Holidays) Primary Color: Fawn Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 28.8 Age: 1yrs 0mths 0wks

Peach

Australian Shepherd/Husky

Female, Young

Details

Good with dogs, House-trained,

Story

Meet Peach! This sweet girl came to us as a stray, so we don't know a ton about her history. She's a young, energetic Australian Shepherd and Husky mix with a heart full of love and enthusiasm. Peach is highly food motivated, which makes her a fast learner when training, though she is still working on improving her manners, particularly with her tendency to jump up in excitement. This playful pup thrives in active environments and would do best in a home where she can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Whether it's long walks, hikes, or playing fetch, Peach loves outdoor adventures and would make a great companion for someone who enjoys being active. While she's a sweet and affectionate dog, her new family should continue working on her impulse control and basic commands, especially using positive reinforcement to address her jumping behavior. Peach previously lived with another dog and should do well in a home with a canine companion, though a meet and greet between Peach and any potential dog siblings is necessary before making a final decision. With the right guidance and consistency, we are confident Peach will become a well-mannered, loyal companion.She is looking for a home where she can channel her energy in a positive way and with the right commitment to force-free positive reinforcement training, she will be an amazing addition to any family. Peach has a spay appointment booked for December 2nd and will need to be a foster-to-adopt until that time.If you are interested in her please come and meet her at the Centre - we're open for walk-in viewing Tuesday to Saturday Noon - 4 pm (except for Stat Holidays).Sundays and Mondays are by appointment only.

Ophelia

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Young

Abbotsford, BC

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

Ophelia is a sweet and sensitive German Shepherd mix with a heart full of love, but she needs time to show it. She's fearful of new people, especially men, and takes her time to trust. However, once she feels safe and gets to know you, she transforms into a ball of affection, jumping with excitement and showering you with love.Ophelia does well with a couple of dog friends but can be reactive around unfamiliar dogs, so slow and proper introductions are essential. She'll thrive with continued support and confidence-building leash training, but for now, a securely fenced yard is a must. She's not yet comfortable enough to go on walks for bathroom breaks, so having a safe yard where she can relax and adjust to her new routine is key.Ophelia is looking for a patient, understanding home with someone who can offer her the love, security, and time she needs to blossom into her true, loving self. If you have the heart to help Ophelia grow in confidence and give her a forever home, she'll reward you with endless loyalty and affection.** PLEASE NOTE ** Dog meets and adoptions are by appointment only. To secure an adoption meet, please submit an online application and a staff member will reach out. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 22 Age: 0yrs 11mths 2wks
