Story
Keisha – 37 lbs, 3 year old Shepherd cross is looking for a home. Keisha is a super sweet and smart girl, and sweetheart to the volunteers who visit her at the SPCA PV sanctuary. Keisha was found in the hills around Puerto Vallarta tied up, hungry, trying to care for and protect her 6 young pups. After her rescue the SPCA PV learned that Keisha is blind from being poisoned. Despite this tough early life, Keisha is very sweet and friendly with humans and dogs (she is even ok being carried). On her walks she doesn't pull and likes to sniff a lot (her nose is her eyes). Keisha is spayed, vaccinated, healthy, and now has a full belly every day, which makes her very happy. She'd love to make up for a tough early start with a warm loving home. If interested, please email pvcaadoptions@gmail.com and tell us a little about yourself.

This hunky man will capture your soul with his hilarious antics, energetic personality and gentle demeanor. He is a fair and kind ruler, making so many friends and bonds on his journey.Dubbed the majestic monarch of cuddles and compassion, how could you not fall for this sweet face?? Magnus isn't huge on other pets, and would be best living in a home without any other rulers to worry about - but has recently made a canine friend on outings! He would still prefer they live on their own land, but we know he will keep expanding his circle with the right home! Magnus is so deserving of his forever kingdom full of enrichment, fun and love!

Story
Hazel is such an intelligent dog with a drive to learn and grow! If you're familiar with her breeds, they are very dedicated, smart and loyal dogs who have SO much to offer their person. If you're seeking for a dog who is constantly ready to fine tune her skills, and seeking a life of enrichment and adventure, Hazel is the one for you! This gal LOVES her people, and is thrilled to spend the day by your side, playing away with her toys and snuggling up on your lap. She loves pets and rubs, and leans her whole self into you as you dote on her! Hazel is SUPER toy motivated, and all do ANYTHING for the chance at a game of tug or fetch! She keeps herself busy for hours with her antics, and will thrive with a home who offers her toys as rewards during training sessions! She loves to shred soft toys however, so needs tougher chewer toys, or a home who doesn't mind her cloud piles.Miss Hazel does show a lot of excitement towards other dogs, but has shown reactivity towards them while in our care, and is seeking to be the only pet in the home. We think with show introductions and positive reinforcement, we think she can make great progress! She's so smart and motivated!Hazel would thrive in an adult orientated home, with lots of time and dedication to offer her! For her, its not just about being physically enriched, her mental simulation and enrichment is just as important- if not more important for her to succeed!She is seeking a home to offer her a force free, positive reinforcement based training system so she can keep being her very best self!

Story
Who's this handsome fella with the biggest happy grin!? Why it's APOLLO, of course!Apollo is a lovable and goofy 7-year-old Rottweiler who will melt your heart with his adorable antics and charming personality. Despite his size, Apollo is a gentle guy, who loves to spend time with his humans and soak up the love. He's a big softy, and loves to give kisses and ask for pats. He'll plop himself down directly in front of you, in hopes you'll have no other choice than to give into him. FYI, we can confirm this strategy works reeeeally well for our boy! With his little tail stub wagging away, and his smile big and bright, it's not hard to tell when he's having a good time. #bestwigglebum 🏆While Apollo loves to get out and about, his body doesn't always agree with his youthful spirit. Since coming into our care, a little on the "fluffy" side, we're pleased to share that our fave big guy has lost almost 15lbs - YAY! What does this mean for Apollo? Well, he's feeling fit, there's less strain on his joints, and he's ready for all the (light) adventures! Apollo loves short walks, lake days, car rides, snugs with his human friends, and of course a good nap 😏Even with arthritis present, Apollo doesn't let that stop him from being his fun-loving self. He plays just as much as the next, and his mind is present in all things. He is as smart as a whip and knows quite the list of commands. Happy to engage and create new games, Apollo will have your home filled with love, laughter, and toots 🙈Apollo has previous experience with dogs but can be selective upon meetings. He would do best in a home with a mid-large female canine, or as the only animal so he can focus on his own journey.If you've got room in your home and heart for this big boy, apply for Apollo today!https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/Apollo, n/male, 7 years, Rottweiler, ID# 592904 Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Red Weight: 48.7 Age: 7yrs 6mths 3wks
