Story
Meet Sammy, a 1.5-year-old, 45 lb mixed-breed pup (possibly Border Collie/Terrier) with a heart of gold and so much love to give. She’s incredibly loyal to her family and trusted circle — a sweet, intelligent girl who thrives in the right environment. We love her deeply, which makes this decision so hard. Adopted Sammy from the local spca in September. She settled in quickly and became a loving companion. I had envisioned trail runs and city adventures, but Sammy’s reactivity to vehicles, bikes, toddlers, and other leashed dogs makes our busy urban lifestyle too overwhelming for her. Walks during peak hours are now a challenge, she needs calm, open space. Needs a home where: • She has space to run — ideally an acreage or pvt yard• There are no toddlers or reactive dogs in the home • Owner has experience with reactive dogs can support them -Plays well with calm, well-socialized dogs. She is crate trained, house trained, smart, loyal, sweet. Healthy, spayed, vaccines current.

Story
3 year old Lola is looking for a home. This young lady was spending her days living near a riverbank carrying a litter of puppies. A kind woman would come to bring her food to help her survive. The woman couldn’t come for a few days due to illness and when she arrived she had had her puppies. Lola and the puppies that stayed with her were taken in by the SPCA PV with great relief. Lola has had a tough life. Lola has been grateful to recover and rest at the shelter but would love a family of her own. Lola likes people, though waits to make sure they are safe. She prefer male dogs, and is not fond of cats. She is spayed and vaccinated, weighing a perfect 40 lbs. If you think you might be Lola’s second chance as an adopter or foster, she’d love to hear from you by emailing us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com or going direct to our application: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw (Please check your junk mail in case our reply is redirected)

Story
Meet Lou! Breed: Doberman Age: 5 Location: Kelowna, BC Personality: Lou loves to play and run around.  He's got lots of energy and likes to explore around. He is quite affectionate and needs love and attention often. He is always on guard and will let you know when someone is on your property. Is great at giving kisses and cuddles. Is crate trained and potty trained. Needs work on recall and can be leash reactive, but is quite easy to redirect.  Likes: Kongs filled with frozen fruit and peanut butter. Going for walks. Practicing tricks. Likes all toys especially toys he can rip the stuffing out of. Playing with other dogs. Dislikes: When dogs pester him and/or ignore him when he says he is done playing. Strangers approaching his property without proper introduction. Ideal Home: Lou would be best in a home where he could have a job. He would like to have a window to look out of during the day. Lou requires a consistent owner who can establish and maintain boundaries in a gentle way. Lou is not currently allowed on furniture as he has shown irritability and has air snapped at his foster when disrupted on the couch.  ‍‍‍ Family: Good with female dogs. Best to go to an adult only home due to behavior referenced above. No cats please! Health: Due to his albinism, Lou may have allergies and sensitivity to the environment and/or certain proteins.  He cannot be in the direct sun for long periods of time without skin and eye protection (he has a pair of Rex Specs that will come with him). Lou recently had masses on his eyelid and chest removed, which were both benign. He has a tooth that may require removal in the future, but that is not causing him any issues right now.  Adoption Fee: $500 Lou has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. All adopters must agree not to use any punitive training methods. Apply to adopt Lou by submitting our adoption application at https://adoptadobe.com/adoption-application/. Please note that we do not ship dogs and all adoptions require a home visit and meet and greet prior to finalization. Donate to Lou’s care at https://adoptadobe.com/donate/. ##2303497##

Story
Meet Dante! Breed: Doberman Age: < 2 years Location: Edmonton, AB Personality: Dante is a playful boy who knows basic commands and is very food motivated. He needs clear boundaries and a knowledgeable adopter to continue his training. Likes: He enjoys playing fetch, playing tug of war, puzzle toys, and running at the dog park. Dislikes: Although Dante wants to be with his people at all times, he isn't a cuddler. He does not like being left alone and although crate trained, he can be a bit vocal when left unattended. He should not be left uncrated if left alone. Dante is very protective of his home and needs a slow, calm and controlled introduction to visitors, even if they have met him before. Ideal Home: The ideal family does not have small children as he is a large dog who plays rough. He needs regular exercise and mental stimulation to make sure he doesn't become destructive. ‍‍‍ Family: Other pets in the home are okay, but best if it is confident female dog. He has previously lived with cats. Health: No known issues. Adoption Fee: $500 Dante has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. All adopters must agree not to use any punitive training methods. Apply to adopt Dante by submitting our adoption application at https://adoptadobe.com/adoption-application/.

Story
Beautiful husky girl Chiquita, born April 2023, is looking for a home. She is approximately 41 lbs. Her mum and littermates were often seen wandering in the area of the SPCA PV sanctuary and staff and volunteers saw them in deteriorating condition due to a diet heavy on garbage and took them in to give them the care they needed. After she got refuge in the sanctuary, she lived through a hurricane which heavily damaged the shelter, and she had temporary refuge in a home that unfortunately had a landlord that didn't allow dogs.. but in that time, she learned what a home is and what it is meant to be loved. Chiquita is an energetic girl so she’d love a yard with some space to burn off some zoomies but was in a foster home in an apartment. She loves the beach. Her foster mom just loved her, described her as a fast learner, and a great cuddler. She has learned basic commands - sit, come, waits to eat her food. She isn't destructive in the home and did well in the car. She is selective with other dogs, and can be reactive, and would squabble with her siblings. Kids make her nervous so she'd prefer a quiet adult home where she can learn more about the world. Chiquita would be best in a home without cats as she shows high prey drive. Video of Chiquita with her shelter friends: https://www.facebook.com/spcapv/videos/1401202434079126 She is now healthy and vaccinated. If you think you might be her happy home, please contact us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com for more information. Chiquita is currently in Mexico but would love to join her forever home in Canada

COURTESY POST Maeby (CALGARY, AB)

Doberman Pinscher

Female, Adult

Story
COURTESY POST on behalf of owners, located in the Calgary area.  To apply for Maeby, please submit an application at adoptadobe.com/adoption-application. All applications for Maeby will be forwarded to her owners for follow up. Maeby’s adoption fee is a minimum $100 donation to Adopt-a-Dobe.    Per Maeby’s owners: Maeby is an almost three year old fixed female dobe with a heart way bigger than her anxiety. She came to us at 6 weeks old after her mama had to have an emergency hysterectomy due to a postpartum infection. She was an affectionate yet nervous puppers from day one. We immediately started working with trainers and dog daycares/walkers to try to get the tools we needed and the socialization she needed. She was asked to not return to two daycares due to her anxiety and two trainers made only minimal headway.  Her anxiety increased as time passed and she began to break out of kennels when home alone and chewed several walls waiting for us to come home. We could no longer take her around other dogs, as she was immediately reactive when with our family.  She was nervous around anyone outside of our family and had growled at our children’s friends. We finally connected with the right trainer and in combination with anxiety medication, Maeby was able to make some great progress in terms of greeting adults, walking on a leash, and recall. We then connected with a local small daycare and dog walking company who worked with Maeby to introduce her to other dogs and she now has a group of dogs she is comfortable playing with. Maeby began to be able to spend the day outside of her kennel at home without engaging in any destructive behaviours and  was literally smiling when greeting and welcoming adult guests into our home. We felt we were finally on a good path with her and the vet recommended weaning her off her medication, as it was always intended as a short term measure. She continued to demonstrate stability and progress. Unfortunately, despite never having had any issues with our children in the past, she recently bit our 6 year old daughter when our daughter approached her to pet her. We don’t know why Maeby reacted this way and are truly heartbroken at the position we are in as a result. Although the bite did not break the skin and as much as we love Maeby and are so proud of the progress she has made over the past 3 years, we do not feel we are in a position to address this particular behaviour with two children in our home. We believe she is capable of continuing to overcome challenges as she has proven herself to be and believe she would thrive in a household with no children. We are happy to pass on the name of her daycare so they can continue to work with her and you on dog socialization. We truly want what is best for Maeby and are hopeful we can find this beautiful, affectionate girl a loving home where she can be comfortable. Maeby’s favourite things include being with her family, soaking in any attention that comes her way, running along side a skateboard, playing at private off leash parks and staring into the depths of your soul. She’ll sleep in as late (or later) than you on the weekends and loves full body cuddles in bed. ##2131528##
