Story
Zeus is a sweet, smart, and super cuddly pup with a big heart and even bigger personality! This handsome lil' guy loves to snuggle up at home just as much as he loves to run and play at the dog park. He’s gentle, friendly, and great with people, kids, and other dogs. Zeus is the perfect mix of calm and playful; happy to chill by your side, but always ready for an adventure venture when it’s time for fun. We’re not sure how he feels about cats yet, but he’s proven to be kind and easygoing in every other way. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will make you laugh and melt your heart, Zeus might just be your guy!

Story
Aldo is an approximately 2-3 year old chihuahua that was hit by a car in 2023 and left at the side of the road. He was so lucky to be found by a caring person who rushed him to the vet to help him. Amazingly he did not have any broken bones. Once recovered from his wounds, he needed help learning how to walk again but unfortunately did not have access to supported recovery, so he learned to drag himself around to move from place to place. This resulted in skin wounds and injuries. Since being with Mountainside, Aldo has been learning to walk and not drag. He has gone through rehabilitation to build up the strength in his hind end which was completely atrophied. With love and care from his current foster, he is encouraged to walk and is getting much stronger. He loves people so much as well as other dogs and cats. Aldo is learning to play with his friends and very much enjoys being a lap dog wherever possible. His favourite moves are chin and belly rubs.

Story
I bet the majority of us have always wanted a Steve in our life. And that Steve is most likely a super cool guy who you just want to be around because he emits goodness no matter the time of day. Steve the dog is no different than the Steve you know. He is a super cool guy, despite the past that should've been kinder to him. Steve is a loving, big soft fluff, who unlike many dogs of his breed, does not vocalize a lot. Steve is a smart, active, well-trained local dog that fell upon hard times and that resulted in a lot of fear and confusion. He was often tied with a short chain to a cinder block and left outside. The last time he had been outside for a walk was unknown. His world had become very very very small and Steve shut down. This naturally resulted in resource guarding and reactivity - which culminated in a bite when someone tried to remove food in a bowl from near him. The owners tried to surrender him to various groups but no one wanted him as a result of the bite and the only offer was euthanasia. Thankfully we at Mountainside gave Steve a chance to show us his true colors. We quickly saw that he was loving - but so scared and confused. Through months of training, exercise and monitored socialization, Steve has started to make friends and is becoming more himself as each day goes by. He has had the wonderful fortune of being in foster care and then being very loved by our boarding facility partners that have given him the incredible opportunity to meet new dogs and learn how to be a dog again. Steve is working hard on making progress through some of his issues and though he has come so far, he will need his person to continue to help him along his journey. At this time we think the best fit would be an adult only family that is home more often than not. He has lived with other dogs in the past but isn't ready for that yet. No cats as well. Steve is a stunning, kind boy who would be a perfect match for someone who is patient, and willing to put in the work to give him the best kind of life. At the end of the day, he's just Steve, a super cool guy, who deserves a super cool life.

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Tucker!Tucker is a bright, bouncy 7-month-old Lab/Border Collie mix who's ready to leap into his next adventure. He greets every person he meets with a wagging tail, a big smile, and plenty of goofy charm. However, Tucker is still learning his manners, so he'll thrive with an a home with an experienced adopter who can continue to work on his behaviour challenges. He can become very excited, often communicating his needs with his mouth. He will require a patient, consistent guardian to continue working with a BCSPCA appointed trainer to mange these behaviours in the home. His ideal home would be with someone who works from home or who has the time to commit to his desensitization and training.Because he's a young, active mix of two smart breeds, Tucker will need daily exercise, mental enrichment, and a home with people who like to keep busy. Hikes, games, training sessions - he's up for it all!Tucker is not a fan of cats, so he's looking for a feline-free home. He would do best in a home with another dog, who can teach him corrective bite inhibition and help him with continued socialization. He is great with dogs and would love a yard to romp around!If you're searching for a high-energy buddy to share adventures with -Tucker might just be your perfect match. Stop by the west Vancouver BCSPCA from 12pm-3pm Tuesday-Sunday, or send in your application today. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 25.7 Age: 0yrs 8mths 0wks

Story
Meet Sitka! Sitka was an incredible Mama to 13 happy, healthy puppies, and now it is finally her turn to find a forever home of her own. Sitka can be a little unsure at first, but once she builds trust, she becomes wonderfully affectionate and deeply loyal. She bonds closely with her person and would happily lean in for ear rubs, pets, and cuddles all day long. She's also a smart girl who already knows sit, shake, lay down, get your toy, and fetch, and she's currently working on stay, look, and remembering not to jump up for her enthusiastic "hug attacks."Sitka would do best as the only animal in the home and in a household without young children where she can soak up all of the attention. She has shown reactivity with barriers, and would do best in a detached home or townhouse rather than an apartment.Sitka loves to play. She enjoys fetch and is the queen of tug-of-war. She especially loves large plush and squeaky toys and even enjoys carrying her toys along on walks.This sweet girl is high energy and would thrive in a home with outdoor access, regular long walks, and plenty of one-on-one bonding time with her human. She enjoys hikes and long beach walks, she's very curious of the ocean but has no interest in swimming!While Sitka is a loving companion, she can be anxious and will need patient adopters who are willing to provide reassurance, structure, and support. In return, she'll offer endless devotion and affection. Lots of things are still new for this girl, and she does get startled with loud noises, so a calm environment where she can build some confidence would be ideal.Sitka is a sweet, loyal soul just waiting for someone to give her the safe, loving home she truly deserves.Stop by the West Vancouver location to meet our beautiful Sitka! Our adoption hours are 12pm-3pm Tuesdays - Sundays (closed Mondays). While we welcome online applications, we prioritize in person meets/applications.
