Story
Sweet Keisha is looking for a home. She is 40 lb shepherd x lab with a kind and brave soul, who just melts into the arms of those kind enough to give her affection. Keisha was found in Puerto Vallarta, skinny and hungry, trying to care for and protect her litter of 6 puppies. She had dug a small hole to hide them as she stood over them, chained up, until thankfully the angels of the SPCA PV came to rescue them. After her rescue, they learned that Keisha was also blind, they believe from poisoning. Keisha's pups all inherited her kind soul and affection for humans. And we hope that Keisha herself will find her own happiness. Naturally because she can't see, she enjoys sniffari walks, to take in the world around her, and would love a safe property to explore her world in between cuddles with a family that this time would love her. If you think you may be able to give Keisha a home, we'd love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com. You can also go directly to our application here: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw

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 can fly to a Canadian home near you!

Story
He Shoots.... He scores!!! Meet Oiler, a busy and smart young pup looking for a forever home that can fill his needs and keep him active. He loves to play ball, and is still learning the give and take of a good fetch game. Like his brother, he hasn't had a chance to learn basic training skills and will need a home that is dedicated to some ongoing training using positive Animal Kind methods. This boy is still young and will need reminders about house manners, and also being polite when greeting people. Oiler isn't used to being alone and will need some guidance and patience to find his independent side. He is very curious about new things but does seem a bit on the shy side and might need some patience when encountering new things/situations. He loves food, is eager to learn and participate in training as long as it's fun which makes teaching him fun for both of you.This sweet boy is waiting for his neuter surgery appointment and is looking for a local foster to adopt home. Primary Color: Wheaten Weight: 10.5 Age: 0yrs 10mths 1wks

Story
Calling all hockey fans! This young Canuck is looking for an active home that has some time to dedicate to a big guy in a little body. He's just learning his basics and seems very food motivated, which makes training extra fun! He came in with his brother, however they are looking for separate homes so they can learn some new life skills that can set them up to live their best lives possible. Canuck hasn't had a chance to learn good house manners yet and will need some patience and kindness while he learns, and would benefit from some ongoing training with an Animal Kind trainer. He seems to be a bit unsure of new dogs and might need some reassurance as he learns some better social skills. An active home that is interested in dedicating some time into this little guy so he can flourish into the sports fan he was born to be! Canuck is awaiting his neuter surgery and is looking for a local foster to adopt home. Primary Color: Red Weight: 11.3 Age: 0yrs 10mths 1wks

Story
This sweet girl is looking for a warm snuggly place to call her home. Even though she's still fairly young, this girl is very polite and has learned some very nice manners already. She loves people, absolutely lives for cuddles and would like to reserve a spot on your couch! Her leash skills are very good and she just needs a few reminders sometimes when she see's something interesting. She seems quite interested in small animals when out on walks and might need some gentle reminders about being appropriate. She would really benefit from some ongoing training with an Animal Kind trainer to become the best version of herself. Miss Pixel loves being with her people and will protest a bit if we're not paying any attention to her, so a home where she can learn that being alone is ok would be the best fit. Pixel is awaiting her spay surgery appointment and is looking for a local foster to adopt home. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Brown Weight: 20.1 Age: 1yrs 1mths 1wks
