🖤 Meet Sombra — The Thoughtful, Gentle Pup Ready for His Forever FamilySombra is part of a lively litter of “party pups” — playful, medium‑energy youngsters who love to run, explore, and enjoy yard time. Among them, Sombra is the most reserved. He goes a little slower with new people, taking his time to feel safe, but once he trusts you, he’s a sweet, steady companion.Born in March 2026, Sombra started life on the streets with his young mum, Sisi, until a kind stranger got the whole family safely into the SPCA PV sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta. His mum is a small Chihuahua cross, but the pups have already surpassed her in size. They’re expected to be 35–40 lbs full grown — a perfect medium size.Sombra looks to have a bit of lab mixed into his super‑mix breed, giving him a lovely blend of softness, intelligence, and charm.Fall in love fast with Sombra and his family here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbI8BnRGJRk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D💛 A Puppy With Heart and PotentialSombra enjoys playtime with his dog pals in the yard and is learning about the world at a shelter pace.

Story

💙 Meet Levi — The Sweet, Bright Eyed Pup Hoping for His Forever Family Levi is one of our beautiful “K” litter pups — nine little ones who were dumped alongside their devoted mum, Nova, and thankfully rescued by SPCA PV sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta. His mum Nova is about 45 lbs, a mixed breed who looks shepherd heeler, and Levi is growing into his own handsome look with soft features, curiosity, and a gentle, thoughtful nature. See Levi’s family here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcMllDbP5te/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D 💛 A Puppy With a Gentle Heart Shelter life means Levi hasn’t seen much of the world yet, but volunteers try to give him some experiences and love. He’s medium energy and a smart little one — the kind of pup who will thrive with patient guidance and a loving home. Levi would likely enjoy a yard to play and sunbathe and maybe even another friendly dog to help show him the ropes. He hopes for a family keen to help a young lad blossom. Like his siblings, Levi also practises visiting with cats and is ready for a home that might include feline friends. ✈️ Travel Options Levi and his siblings have flight options for BC and Alberta opening up. He is available for foster, foster to adopt, and adoption — but most of all, Levi is hoping for a forever home where he can grow, learn, and finally feel safe and loved. 📩 Interested in Levi?

Story

💚 Meet Chiquis — The 14 lb Firecracker Ready for Her Happy Ever After Chiquis is a stunning 14 lb Chihuahua × Dachshund with a gorgeous silver coat and striking green eyes. At just a year and a half old, she’s full of personality, spark, and determination. She was found searching for scraps in a garbage pile, clearly a recent mum doing her best to survive. SPCA PV volunteers picked her up and went searching for her hungry puppies — and they found them. Her pups have since become happy Canadians in BC and Alberta, and now it’s finally Chiquis’ turn. 💛 A Spirited, Loyal Companion Chiquis is a firecracker — playful, expressive, and full of life. She can be suspicious and wary of strangers, especially when they enter the shelter, so she needs to go slow with new people. Once she trusts you, her affection and charm shine through. She can be intense with some dogs and prefers smaller dogs, but she also enjoys playtime and has passed her feline test — Chiquis practises cat visits and does well. Chiquis is healthy, spayed, and vaccinated, and she’s more than ready to follow in the footsteps of her pups and find a real home of her own. 📩 Interested in Chiquis?
