Good with dogs,

Story

Meet Pippa! This wonderful little girl has been well loved and cared for throughout her life.Pippa is a 7.5-year-old Havanese/Mini Poodle mix who is excitable, goofy, and full of love! She adores cuddles, loves her toys, and wants to be by your side at all times.She's great with other dogs while out on walks and at doggy daycare, but she doesn't want to live with another dog. Pippa doesn't like to share her toys, so it's best if she goes to a home without children. Pippa enjoys running, hiking, and outdoor adventures, and she travels well in the car. She knows basic commands and is well-mannered, though she does have occasional house-training accidents.Pippa has significant separation anxiety-she barks immediately if left alone-so she'll thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time or with a plan to help her feel secure. She has also done well attending doggy daycare, which could be another helpful option. Pippa also has some seasonal allergies that require medication.This loyal, playful, and affectionate girl is looking for a loving home that will include her in everyday life. She's ready to bring endless smiles, cuddles, and laughter to the right family!Please submit an application through the link below!https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Buff Weight: 4.9 Age: 7yrs 5mths 1wks

He was matted, and he was surviving by looking through trash. After being fed kibble a few times, he quickly opened his heart and accepted human touch. He appeared to have been abandoned and looking at him look for his family broke our hearts, leading to his rescue. 3⃣ Basic Information ❗As a young puppy, he may need training in areas such as separation anxiety, potty habits, biting, nipping, whining, disorderly, howling, and barking. ❗It is difficult to predict his shedding and adult size because his parents are unknown. ❗ Puppies under 10 months of age grow quickly so his current appearance may be different from those in the photos. * With People: Isn’t shy at all and really likes humans. Enjoys human touch, and has a playful and energetic personality. * With Dogs: Plays energetically with another puppy, #AdogsOkie at our Center. * With Cats: Hasn't properly met a cat yet. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown, as he lives in a communal setting at the Center. * Potty Training: Is pottying outdoors at the Center. Will need basic training in a home environment. * Hygiene: Recieved professsional grooming at the groomer’s and did very well, perhaps because he enjoys human touch. * Walks: Hasn’t had a proper walk yet, as he’s only recently arrived at the Center. * Car Sickness: Did well in the car with no motion sickness. * Biting: No nipping at all. There may be some chewing of objects or nibbling of hands and feet when playing, during the teething period. * Barking: Doesn’t bark at all. * Likes: We wonder if there’s anything he dislikes, since he seems to like everything!. * Personality: Has a happy-go-lucky personality and is very playful. He’s the epitome of a cute puppy!

Story

Lulu – 13kg Chow Chow Mix | 3–4 Years Old | Spayed & Vaccinated Lulu is a beautiful 13kg Chow Chow mix, approximately 3–4 years old. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and fully potty trained. Due to life changes, Lulu’s previous owner is no longer able to care for her, and she is now looking for a loving forever home. Lulu is a very quiet, calm, and gentle girl with an elegant nature. She can feel overwhelmed by loud or noisy behavior, as she is naturally sensitive and prefers a peaceful environment. She gets along well with both dogs and cats. When interacting with more dominant dogs, Lulu remains calm and has a unique way of turning even bossy dogs into her friends. Lulu walks nicely on leash and stays calmly by your side. She does get excited when she spots squirrels, hares, or birds—she may stop to watch them for a while or try to chase—but she is otherwise very well-mannered. She is a sweet and loving companion who adores her humans. Lulu greets her people in a gentle way—lowering her head and quietly lying beside you. She can be shy and timid at times; if something scares her, she makes a soft “zhizhi” sound to express her feelings. Lulu would make a wonderful companion for a calm and caring family who understands her gentle nature and is ready to give her the loving, permanent home she deserves.
