Story
Meet Patty,Patty is a high energy, active girl looking for a new lease on life. She is easily overwhelmed in busy environments and is looking for an adult only home in a QUIET, RURAL AREA where she can continue to work on her desensitization to the world around her. Patty is looking for a home with yard access; apartment and city living will not be appropriate for her needs. She is an affectionate dog who loves to play fetch and engage with her toys. Being a smart breed, she does well with enrichment tools and scent work. Patty is house trained and would love a yard to continue to work on her obedience training. Patty responds very well to positive reinforcement both using food and toys as motivation.She is looking for a calm and patient guardian who can continue to work on her behaviour modification. Patty can become overstimulated quickly and requires a guardian who understands her body language when growing anxious.Patty is excellent with other outgoing dogs and would do well with another medium-large breed canine companion in the home. If you are ready to take on a new dog, please drop in from 12pm-3pm Tuesday-Sunday to meet Patty and fill out an application, or, apply online through the BC SPCA website.

Story
Ready for a new adventure buddy? Look no further than Stella! This girl has lots of energy to explore and play outside. She can get along well with other friendly dogs and has lived with kids previously. Stella is calm and relaxed at home on the couch when needed to be left alone, as long as she has her exercise needs met. Cattle dogs tend to need lots of enrichment and activities to keep them busy, and Stella is no different! She loves to learn and is very food motivated!Stella has shown to have a high prey drive with cats and wildlife, and should not live with small animals. She will need to learn good recall and basic obedience with her new family before having off leash adventures. She is a Houdini on leash, and will need a strong leash and harness that she cannot chew through. She loves to play a game of "Catch me if you can", so managing her on leash will be essential before taking her off leash for her safety.Come down to the West Vancouver Branch between 12pm and 3pm, Tuesday through to Sunday to meet Stella.

Story
Introducing Loki! Loki is a very special boy who found his way into a shelter when his owner started working out of town and no longer had time for him. Loki was raised in a family with small children and would do well with dog savvy kids in his new home. He is very social with dogs but would prefer to be the only animal in the home as he has a tendency to chase small animals.Loki is a very affectionate boy and loves a good snuggle. He enjoys playing with his toys and is highly food-motivated. Sadly, Loki came into the shelter with a serious skin infection and requires a special diet moving forward to ensure he is comfortable and free of wounds. He is currently on antibiotics and requires 2 medicated baths/week while he is recovering.Loki would love a home with an active family who will continue to socialize him and make him the center of their world. He bonds very quickly and would prefer his guardians work part-time or from home so they can spend hours each day fussing over how handsome he is.If you're interested in Loki, please send in an application today or stop in Tuesday-Sunday between 12p-3pm.

Story
Meet Mochi,You may recognize this sweet Marshmallow from a recent Medical Emergency, as he was featured on our website due to multiple underlying health concerns.This sweet boy has had a difficult start to life. He spent his first 8 years in a garage, having little to no interaction with the world around him. Mochi came into care with a wounded eye, severe dental disease and a Urinary tract infection. With the help of our amazing donors, Mochi is now on his way to recovery after a substantial dental and a consultation with an eye specialist who has confirmed he does not need surgery to remove his eye after all! He has great vision and all wounds were superficial and have healed. Mochi has been living in a foster home while recovering from his medical needs. He has lived harmoniously with another dog and small children. Mochi loves to play fetch, engage with toys and enjoys long walks. Mochi is still working on his leash manners. He can be very exciteable when seeing dogs on walks, and will need continued training on remaining calm with introductions. Mochi has been working on his housetraining and would prefer a home with yard access to ensure he does not have any additional accidents. He loves a good snuggle on the couch and is a highly affectionate dog.If you think you're a good match for Mochi, please send us an application today! Mochi is in a foster home and is not available for viewing. We will be organizing a meet with an approved adopter only. Primary Color: White Weight: 25.5 Age: 8yrs 1mths 3wks

Story
Everyone needs a bit of Edna in their life. This girl is 100% personality and is definitely going to have you smiling. Edna came to us extremely emaciated and with some serious gastrointestinal illnesses that went untreated. After lots of TLC, veterinary care, baths and so much more - Edna can't wait to live a spoiled life as a healthy happy girl. Edna is a chatty girl who likes to "roOoOoo" and tell you all about her thoughts and feelings. She is so friendly and affectionate with our volunteers, and even quite tolerant of young jumpy puppies! Edna needs a controlled introduction with dogs to make sure it's an appropriate match, but she has done SO well in shelter being introduced to other canine friends. Unfortunately, we don't feel it would be safe to have Edna around cats, rabbits or other small animals. There are so many things that Edna loves. It's almost hard to believe she is a senior because she is one active and agile girl. Edna LOVES to play - she adores toys but especially any kind of ball toy is the greatest joy of her life. She is amazing at fetch and will often even carry a ball in her mouth while out on walks! She thrives on mental stimulation, exercise and cuddles. She will need a home that has had dogs before and is familiar with the breeds needs. Edna is hilarious with dog beds, she enjoys them so much she will rubs around having a little party with each new one she gets. She was meant to have a spoiled life and she can't wait to finally live in a proper home! As this will be new for her, adopters should be prepared to help her settle in to a brand new surroundings with new people.If you're looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion who's ready to brighten your days, Edna is desperately waiting to meet you! Fill out an application online or give us a call if you have any questions about her 604-922-4622. Primary Color: Sable Weight: 30.6 Age: 7yrs 3mths 2wks
