My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

ADOPTION ALERT: STUNNING LONG AND LEAN AVAILABLE

Meet Freddie - 65lbs of energy, enthusiasm and joy

Birthday: Not quite sure but some time in October of 2024
Weight: A looooong and lean 65lbs
Currently in Foster in Nelson, BC


Who is he?
an eager to please, clever goofball, extremely smart, food motivated, playful & enthusiastic, FAST... this boy can run...Loves routine!


Skills include:
- did we mention he is FAST! He would be GREAT at agility
- 10/10 on the cuddle scale
- a bit like a house alarm, will bark to alert you (with positive reinforcement he knows to cease when instructed)
- 10/10 on bringing joy and enthusiasm to all things in life
- plays well with other dogs after proper introduction
- loves to learn and work
- good with horses, chickens and cats
- great in the car and is crate trained for short periods of down time (overnight he prefers his own bed or yours)

Work in Progress includes:
- can be reactive with new dogs if not introduced properly
- shy when meeting new people or dogs
- his early life in the shelter has caused him to be wary of strangers but once he knows you, he warms right up
- trust is earned with Freddie, not given automatically


Ideal home:
- ideally with a doggie sibling who will tolerate his playful puppy-ness but could be an only dog as long as he had regular play dates
- he loves routine
- rural setting away from the hustle and bustle of city life
- fenced outdoor space he can safely explore
- people who will worship him and make him feel safe and loved
- humans with experience with shy dogs who can boost his confidence
- a life that offers adventure and allows him to grow into the amazing dog he is becoming
- a home willing to continue his raw feeding



Medical Flex:
- he is healthy, raw fed and has delayed neuter to allow his growth plates to close



Freddie’s Dream:
Find a human who loves him as much as he loves to run! Someone who will be patient with him as he finds his way and overcomes “stranger danger” and loves to cuddle on the couch.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We screen all applications and in most cases require a home check prior to placement. An approved adoption application must be on file before meetings are set up, as our dogs are in foster homes. We charge a $550 USD adoption fee. We routinely follow up with a visit or at least a phone call after placement. We solicit follow up photos and publish adoptions in our weekly newsletter.

More about this rescue

PVCA Animal Rescue is the sister organization of the SPCA Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. We facilitate the transportation and adoption of rescue dogs into loving forever homes. PVCA is a network of volunteers, transporters, and foster homes. The mission of SPCA de PV is to help fund and promote sterilization, adoption and healthcare efforts for companion animals in the Puerto Vallarta area, with the goal of eliminating the euthanasia of healthy and adoptable animals. SPCA de PV is not supported by the government, corporations, foundations or businesses. The dogs & cats of Mexico are too often found living on the streets after being discarded and/or extremely abused. We devote ourselves to their physical and emotional rehabilitation and invite everyone to come and interact with the animals at our sanctuary. Compassion Knows No Boundaries!
