Story
You may have seen Lucky a few weeks ago on our Facebook page; he was part of a group of dogs that was rescued just before our first snowstorm! He isn't so sure about all the commotion and noise of the shelter, but is warming up to the humans he sees every day that offer him food and treats and walks! Lucky thinks other dogs are pretty stellar, though, and enjoys playgroup at the shelter. Once he knows you’re on his team, Lucky will inform you that his secret nickname is Little Spoon, because his favorite thing might just be snuggling with his closest humans. And then playing. And then more snuggles after that.

If you are looking for a dog that will enjoy outings with you, come meet Waylon. He is a gem! We love Waylon and think you will too! He is as fun-loving as they come. Waylon adores outdoor adventures, especially splashing in creeks during walks, turning even the simplest outing into a joyful exploration. His playful spirit shines brightest when he's jumping high in the air to catch balls, a sight that never fails to bring smiles and laughter. For a chunky guy, he's very athletic! One of Waylon's favorite pastimes is learning new tricks, especially when there are treats involved-he's always eager to show off his latest skills with a wagging tail and a big grin. He will be a fun dog to teach new tricks to. After a little exercise, Waylon is ready to settle in for some lovin'. He is very sweet and affectionate with his human friends, leaning in close for pets and sharing kisses. His previous owners stated that Waylon loves car rides and is house trained. Waylon has made several doggy friends at the shelter. He loves to chase and be chased. He has mastered a terrific spin move and does somersaults to keep his playmates guessing! Such a fun boy! Waylon's goofy charm and zest for life make every moment with him an adventure waiting to happen. Waylon is ready to bring laughter and love into your home.

Story
Jack wears his heart on his nose—literally! This sweet, goofy boy is all about his humans, and his happy wags and excited, gentle howls when he sees them prove just how much he loves his people. Jack is a lover —he’s great with cats and does well with calm dog friends. Snuggling is his favorite pastime, especially if it means curling up in a cozy bed with his human. He adores kind hands giving him pets and will happily soak up all the love. Jack isn’t the most graceful pup—his excitement can sometimes send people (and other dogs) toppling over, but always with kindness and joy. He has a few strong opinions: cold floors? No thanks. Veggies? Hard pass. But treats, pets, walks, snuggles, and a warm window to watch the world go by? That’s his perfect day. Jack is fully potty trained and will let you know when he needs to go outside. He’s more than just a good boy—he’s an amazingly kind soul and a truly wonderful companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving best friend, Jack is ready to steal your heart. https://www.bchumane.org/adoption-application/ *All dogs will be neutered, vaccinated with age-appropriate vaccines, heartworm tested, current on parasite prevention and microchipped.

Story
Stella has been living it up in a foster home. Her foster humans have the following to say about her: Stella is a truly sweet and gentle dog who loves affection. She can be wonderfully lazy if you let her, content to lounge around the house with her favorite people. While she enjoys going on walks and exploring, she's equally happy to spend quiet days indoors. At home, her manners are impeccable—she’s never had an accident, isn’t destructive, and is perfectly content to nap on the couch if left alone for a few hours. Stella also has a unique love for buses and tries to board every parked one she encounters. We are actively working on building her confidence around new people and sounds, and she is already showing progress. She needs a patient and kind owner to help her learn to stay calm instead of barking in challenging situations. Occasionally, Stella pulls on the leash when she gets excited, but she’s a quick learner and has already improved significantly in walking nicely without tension on the leash. Stella is a wonderful dog and fostering her has been a joy. She’s looking for a forever family to give her the love she craves!
