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!

Labrador Retriever Staffordshire Bull Terrier

Female, 4 mos
Nanaimo, BC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Story
Fran and her siblings are alive because a kind woman would go feed their pregnant mama who was living outside near a riverbank, shortly after being born there, mum and pups were taken to safety into the SPCA PV sanctuary. Now its time for them to find real families to love them. Fran is stunning with her sleek black coat and white toes in a squirmy puppy body. Fran was born with extra toes in her back legs, a condition that is not harmful (in fact some snow breeds were bred with them, so perhaps he was meant for a life in Canada!) Fran is healthy, vaccinated and ready to travel to her new home with flights available to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, and less frequently to Vancouver island. We think Fran will grow to be about 55 lbs. Fran has been exposed to cat and is playful with dogs. If you think you might be his happy ever after or a foster on the road to a better life, message us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com or go direct to our application: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw (check your junk mail in case we get redirected when we respond)

Story
Born August 2024, Sabrina is one of our Charlie’s Angel’s puppies. Her and her sisters were found young, abandoned and full of fleas, ticks and hungry, near our sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta. They are beautiful AND smart. Sabrina and her sisters have been popular with tourists at the Saturday market - loving the cuddles and admiration of strangers. She is good with people, dogs and cats. She’s wiggly, smart and full of personality . Sabrina is healthy, and happy but would be much happier with a family all her own! We expect her to grow to 35ish lbs.

Maple

Cattle Dog Pointer

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Maple is a gorgeous sweet girl who was dumped with her siblings at a farm not far from the SPCA PV sanctuary. She was very popular with tourists and was getting lots of attention from potential adopters, but while she was waiting for a flight to her adoptive home in Alberta she had to see a vet for an injection, and she moved and they hit a nerve, which caused some nerve damage in her back leg. Unfortunately she was held back for rehabilitation. She has improved but her foot can still drag so she has to wear a bootie. She gets around well and loves to play (even with cats). She is otherwise healthy, spayed and vaccinated. If you think you might have room in your heart and home for Maple, we'd love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com, or go direct to our application: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw (Please check your junk mail in case we get re-directed)
