Story
Meet Archie, a sweet and playful dog who's ready to find his forever home! Archie can be a bit shy when meeting new people, so he will require patience as he gets to know you. However, once he feels comfortable, he warms up quickly and will show you just how much love he has to give. He's a big fan of pets and affection, and once you've gained his trust, he'll be your loyal companion.Archie is full of energy and would thrive in a home that can provide him with plenty of exercise and room to run and play. He loves his toys and enjoys getting outside and having fun, so he's sure to bring lots of joy to his new family.Due to his strong pulling on the leash, Archie will need someone who can guide him through training to help improve his leash manners. With some patience and consistency, he'll be a wonderful walking buddy.If you are looking for a loving and energetic dog to join your home Archie may just be the perfect fit for you!Do you think you could be Archie's person?

Story
Eclair is a sweet, wonderful Cane Corso looking for her forever home! Eclair is an absolute sweetheart with a gentle, loving soul. Due to limited life experience, she can be quite anxious around new people and in new situations so a forever family who is willing to help her feel comfortable at her own pace would be ideal. Eclair's ideal owner would be experienced with large breeds, have the confidence to set boundaries and create a structured, stable environment to help her thrive. Someone who is capable of handling her strength, and size, with a large back yard in which to facilitate a healthy amount of mental and physical stimulation is key!We are looking for a local foster-to-adopt home while she awaits her spay surgery.The Centre is open Tuesday - Saturday Noon - 4 pm for Walk-Ins.To prepare for your visit, please visit our website and complete a Dog Pre-Adoption Questionnaire at:https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Blue Weight: 34.5 Age: 0yrs 7mths 1wks
