Story

Meet Jack, your new best friend! 🤩 He's a 3-5 year old Spaniel cross who weighs somewhere between 12-15 pounds, depending on how much gravy-covered meals he's scored that week. 😂 This handsome boy is a certified cuddlebug with a heart full of love and a soundtrack to match. Seriously, he sings with the soul of a Husky trapped in a Spaniel body. Jack is great with other dogs and has been getting the hang of this whole play thing. He adores his foster cats and sometimes needs a gentle reminder to play nice. Teenagers? Big fan. Little kids? He hasn't met many but with his sweet and gentle nature, he'd probably do great. Now let's talk about Jack's biggest passion - walks. Say the W-word and brace yourself....this boy will start crying the moment the harness comes out. It's dramatic, adorable and totally Jack. Once you're out the door, he's a near perfect walker, more focused on sniffing the world than pulling you through it. Jack isn't shy about voicing his opinions, especially when crated. He much prefers the couch, a cozy blanket or better yet, your arms. He loves to be held like a baby and he will flop into your embrace like a soggy noodle. It's his signature move. 😎 Jack is not a fan of being alone so he'd love a home with another dog friend or a human who is around more often than not. When left alone, he'll cry a bit, then curl up for a power nap, likely dreaming about his next walk or gourmet canned dinner (forget the kibble)! Jack is doing well with potty training, especially with regular access to the yard. He's not destructive when alone, just content to watch the world go by or chew on his favourite toys. ☺️ Oh, let's not forget that Jack loves the shower. Invite him in and you've got a furry little spa partner for life! Jack is a sweet, soulful and affectionate boy looking for his forever family. He will shower you with love and laughs daily. Don't wait, apply to meet Jack today! 💙

Border Collie Australian Shepherd

Story

Casper is best with no small children. Meet Casper 👻🐾 — a 4-month-old Border Collie mix with a playful spirit, a sensitive heart, and the cutest quirky habits! At 26 lb and growing, Casper is a moderate-energy pup who loves to play with other dogs and is learning his boundaries as he goes. He can be a little cautious with new people, but gentle introductions help him warm up nicely. Once he's comfortable? He's your loyal shadow — not a lap dog, but always close by. 💕 Casper is untested with kids and cats, but he's doing great with leash walking once he settles in, and while he may take a few minutes to calm in his crate, he does just fine after that. His favorite hangout spots include playing under the bed or sleeping half-under it like a little cave creature. 🛏️🐶 This smart boy already knows high five and shake a paw — but only with his left paw! 🐾 He's a big fan of toys and beef liver treats, has a soft spot for socks and slippers, and has very strong opinions about vacuums (hard pass 😅). Casper would thrive in a patient, loving home that can keep building his confidence and continue his training. If you're looking for a sweet, slightly goofy companion with just the right mix of brains and charm — Casper might be your guy! 💙🐕

Beauty

Mastiff German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult

Kelowna, BC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Good with dogs,

Story

Beauty is a 2-year-old mastiff sweetheart weighing about 55 lbs, with a gentle soul and a thoughtful, observant nature. She appears to do well with other dogs and is great with older kids, though she hasn't been tested with younger children yet. Cats are untested, and she's shown interest in rabbits, so a small-pet–free home may be best. She's a polite leash walker and a very nice sitter, making outings calm and manageable—especially on quiet trail walks, which she prefers 🌲. Beauty does well crated overnight and is housetrained, though she does enjoy chewing and will happily "redecorate" stuffies given the chance 🧸😄 She can be a bit stubborn or wilful at times, but that's all part of her charm. Beauty is low to moderate energy and can be nervous with big arm movements or when she's outside of the house, so she'll thrive with patient, gentle humans who let her build confidence at her own pace. She doesn't care for water (puddles and baths are a hard no 🚫💦) or car rides, but she loves peanut butter, chasing frisbees, and settling in with her people 🥜🐶 If you're looking for a loyal, quirky companion who enjoys peaceful walks and cozy time at home, Beauty might just be your perfect match ✨

Tazz

Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Tazz — professional napper, part-time zoomie rocket, full-time cuddle bug 🐾 Tazz (aka Zoomies, Duffus, Tazzy, Boo, Puppy, or Bloop) is a 2-year-old Chocolate Lab mix with a heart as soft as his favorite blanket. He stands about 20 inches at the shoulder and weighs about 46 lbs (he's still filling out). At first meet, Tazz can be a little shy and cautious, but give him a hot minute and he warms up fast (literally and emotionally). He's great with other dogs and good with kids, approaching new friends with quiet curiosity. Cats are an unknown, but with other animals he's polite, observant, and will return to his person when called if things get loud. On leash, Tazz starts off shy but quickly switches into curious explorer mode and may pull a bit to investigate the world. At home, he does well in his kennel, though he may attempt a sneaky dig-out now and then. Once settled, a gentle "settle down" reminder does the trick. Fair warning: he strongly prefers the couch, the bed, and anywhere warm (and honestly… who can blame him?). House-training is mostly there! He understands going outside for his business and has learned how to sit (go Tazz!). He does have an occasional indoor accident in the same spot, but he's trying his best and continues to improve. Now for the fun stuff: ✨ Random, surprise zoomies when leaving the kennel, at mealtime, or during play ✨ Sleeps in odd positions, sometimes so much he can fall asleep sitting up ✨ Loves being buried under blankets or glued to his human for warmth ✨ Playful little nibbles when he feels safe and extra happy, he's puppy like still. ✨ Purrs in his sleep (yes, really!) ✨ Favorite sleeping position: on his back, fully stretched out like he owns the place Tazz would thrive in a calm home, bonus if there was another dog for him to play with, where naps are respected and warmth is guaranteed. He dislikes the cold, but loves bones, chew toys, treats, sunny spots, and couch cuddles, with or without his humans. If you're looking for a sweet, goofy, blanket-loving best friend who will happily snooze the day away by your side, Tazz might just be your perfect match 💛
