Lola

Labrador Retriever Hound (Unknown Type)

Female, 4 yrs 9 mos

Calgary, AB

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

4 year old Lola is a survivor. She was pregnant and living on the side of a river, and surviving from scraps from a stranger. Eventually a kind stranger managed to get her and her puppies into shelter. Lola is a beautiful Mexican special mix – her pups look like small black labs – she may be a shepherd x terrier x lab mix. She’s her own mix of very special girl. Lola is lower energy, but spins in excitement if you might be so kind to toss her a ball, or when her dinner is ready. Check her out here: https://www.instagram.com/pvcaanimalrescue/reel/DR-vk8YksCo/ Lola is careful with strangers at first but also VERY affectionate. Lola isn’t keen to go far – she prefers the safety of the sanctuary – perhaps worried she may be dumped again. She is looking for a quiet loving home. She is healthy, spayed and vaccinated. If you think you might be a fit, we’d love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com. Please check your junk mail for our response.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

2.5 year old Husky cross Palomo is looking for his perfect home. Palomo has had a hard start in life – wandering with his mum and siblings as a puppy to survive on food scraps, then survived a hurricane and now awaits a real life from the SPCA PV sanctuary. Palomo is a stunning boy who would like a home with outdoor space as he hasn’t been a city dog – though he walks past cars and trucks and even cows without much fuss. Palomo is playful but selective about his dog friends, and visits cats regularly (sometimes with a bit of zeal). He likes cuddles (though doesn’t always want to be rushed by strangers). He is a smart boy who we’d love to see wandering or running free in a big Canadian space! Palomo weighs 50lbs, is neutered, healthy and vaccinated. If you think you might be his chance at a family, or foster along the way, we’d love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com. Please check your junk mail for our response.

Chiquita

Husky Labrador Retriever

Female, 3 yrs 3 mos

Calgary, AB

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

2.5 year old Husky cross Chiquita is looking for her perfect home. Chiquita has had a hard start in life – wandering with her mum and siblings as a puppy to survive on food scraps, then survived a hurricane and now awaits a real life from the SPCA PV sanctuary. Chiquita is one of the most stunning dogs in the sanctuary, with her unique colouring and caramel eyes. She leans in for snuggles, and falls at your feet for belly rubs with guests to the sanctuary trying to get a taste for real life with someone who loves her as their own. Chiquita is playful and enjoys time with the puppies to feed off their youth. She can be selective with certain dogs, which is common for a girl of her age and we think she’d love a home all to herself. We would love to see her enjoying outdoor space in a cooler climate (Mexico is a pretty hot spot for a husky cross!). Chiquita happily visits regularly with cats – at times a bit excited around them. As she’s spent her early life in sanctuary she’s hasn’t had exposure to kids or big crowds. As a bigger girl, we’d love to see her land somewhere outside the big city. Chiquita weighs 55lbs, is spayed, healthy and vaccinated. If you think you might be her chance at a family, or foster along the way, we’d love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com.

Story

Meet Truffa!Truffa is a spunky, active little terrier girl with a huge personality and an even bigger love for adventure. This sweet pup is always ready to play, explore, wrestle with dog friends, or zoom around outside soaking up the world around her.She can be cautious around new people, dogs, and situations at first, often barking when she feels unsure, but once she warms up, Truffa turns into a total cuddle monster. She bonds deeply with her people, loves snuggling in bed, and wants to be involved in everything you’re doing.Truffa absolutely thrives on activity and would do best in a home with people who enjoy walks, outdoor time, and interactive play. She adapts well to new environments and loves having space to run around and burn off some of her puppy energy. She’s still young, playful, and mouthy at times, so continued training and structure will be important as she matures.She enjoys playing with other dogs once introductions are done, especially dogs who also enjoy rough-and-tumble wrestling play. However, Truffa is not suitable for a home with cats or small animals due to her strong prey drive and tendency to fixate.Truffa is looking for an active home with patience, consistency, and people willing to continue helping her build confidence. In return, she’ll provide endless entertainment, loyalty, cuddles, and a whole lot of personality.If you’re looking for a fun-loving little sidekick who’s always ready for the next adventure, Truffa may just be your perfect match.Estimated DOB: March 2025Adoption fee: $695
