Story

9 year old Finn (Finny) of Victoria is looking for a home. This handsome boy, weighing 60lbs may be a lab x shepherd. Finn is a sweet, handsome, sensitive, smart boy who is dedicated and affectionate with his people. He loves tummy rubs, ear scratches, back rubs and will request more with a gentle paw or moan. Finn loves spending time with his people but is good alone. Finn is timid with strangers and prefers his home to be a sanctuary for his family. He is afraid of young kids and cats. Finn is good with dogs - every single dog, he shows nothing but kindness for. Finn doesn't pull on leash and has good recall. Finn is food motivated, house trained, and knows his standard commands. He loves a backyard where he can relax, sun bathe and play tag. Finn has a big bark but only uses it to alert you to visitors, doorbells, and cats. Finn was found as a very young puppy in parking lot with his mum and 10 siblings in Mexico and spent his first 10 months in a shelter which is why strangers and loud noises are scary. He likes a safe quiet space to rest and call his own when things are too hectic. He is looking for a compassionate, quiet home with a yard… a squeak toy, stuffy, bone, or even some paper to shred wouldn’t hurt either !

Story

Sweet Keisha is looking for a home. She is 40 lb shepherd x lab with a kind and brave soul, who just melts into the arms of those kind enough to give her affection. Keisha was found in Puerto Vallarta, skinny and hungry, trying to care for and protect her litter of 6 puppies. She had dug a small hole to hide them as she stood over them, chained up, until thankfully the angels of the SPCA PV came to rescue them. After her rescue, they learned that Keisha was also blind, they believe from poisoning. Keisha's pups all inherited her kind soul and affection for humans. And we hope that Keisha herself will find her own happiness. Naturally because she can't see, she enjoys sniffari walks, to take in the world around her, and would love a safe property to explore her world in between cuddles with a family that this time would love her. If you think you may be able to give Keisha a home, we'd love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com. You can also go directly to our application here: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw

Chiquita

Husky German Shepherd Dog

Female, 1 yr 5 mos

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

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 can fly to a Canadian home near you!

Not good with kids, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Baloo, a gentle giant with a heart as big as his frame! This large breed Bullmastiff is incredibly strong and full of love, but he needs an experienced adopter who can provide him with the specialized animal-kind training he requires. Baloo has faced challenges with a previous leg injury, so he'll thrive in a home where his health and mobility can be carefully managed. Due to his size and strength, he's not suited for a household with small dogs or cats, but he more than makes up for it with his affectionate nature. Baloo absolutely adores cuddling and will make a loyal companion for someone ready to embrace his sweet, gentle demeanor. If you're looking for a devoted friend who's eager to share his love, Baloo might just be the perfect addition to your family! Primary Color: Brindle Weight: 50.2 Age: 1yrs 7mths 3wks

Loch

Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Puppy

Nanaimo, BC

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Story

This sweet boy came to us along with his mom and four siblings, and he's now looking for his fur-ever home. Loch is your typical busy little puppy that still needs all his basic training, and would do really well in puppy classes with a lovely patient human to teach him some new skills. He's a very gentle boy and loves playing with his siblings, and would definitely benefit from living with a playful and patient dog to show him how to live his best dog life. He is going to be a busy pup and will do best in an active home with some previous dog experience. These puppies were born to work, and even though we're unsure of breed, we know they are high drive and will be very busy. If you're ready for an active puppy to keep you on your toes while you learn together, please fill out an application to find out if you're a match.
