Story
Meet Skipper! She is a 1.5-year-old Labrador Retriever mix, searching for her forever home. Skipper is a very special young lady; she has an incredibly endearing personality that will melt your heart as soon as you meet her. She has had a very limited life, and she braves new experiences every single day. This darling girl is a tender soul, looking to find her counterpart in her forever guardian. Skipper is a lab mix, but we can't say for sure how much and what she could be mixed with. She has a moderate energy level and would enjoy her daily walks along with doggie play dates whenever she can! She is a wallflower, but once she gets comfortable, her social nature comes out with her dog pals. Skipper has had very little life experience, and she needs a patient, steady guardian to guide her along as she moves through the world. She experiences high levels of anxiety and is still getting used to being left alone. The perfect life for Skipper would certainly include peace and quiet. This girl has been through a lot of challenges in her short life, and it's time for her to get some rest and relaxation. A quiet home with no young children and minimal guests would be ideal for her. **Skipper is awaiting spay surgery and is available for Foster-To-Adopt until she is ready to be adopted.**If you think Skipper could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below. https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/ * TIP: We encourage all applicants to write a little bit about themselves when prompted. Leaving these questions empty inhibits our ability to make the best match possible and drastically affects the likelihood of receiving a call back. * Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 21.9 Age: 1yrs 6mths 3wks

Story
Meet Fauna! She is a 1-year-old Great Dane mix, searching for her forever home. This sweet girl is a bit of a wallflower at first, but once she gets settled in, her gentle and loving nature comes out, and she is ready to play and snuggle! Fauna hasn't met a whole lot of people or experienced much of the world. So, while she is still learning the world and getting used to making new friends, her sweet-natured heart makes her an easy gal to love. Fauna is believed to be a Great Dane Mix, meaning she is a large and powerful breed. She is very intelligent and will have high needs when it comes to play, exercise, and mental stimulation. Fauna has a very gentle and calm demeanour; however, her breed tendencies can also make her apprehensive of strangers but exceptionally loyal to "her people". Potential adopters will need to be willing to create a safe space for Fauna, while also encouraging her to enjoy new experiences. She can be a nervous lady, so she'll need guardians willing to advocate for her boundaries, and once Fauna settles in, her playful and silly nature really shines through. Fauna has previously lived with another dog, so she may thrive in a home with another doggy friend who can show her the ropes and how to truly be a dog! Fauna is looking for a second chance at her forever home, and adopters who can help her overcome her hurdles and bloom into the dog she is meant to be! If you think Fauna could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below. https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/ *TIP: We encourage all applicants to write a little bit about themselves when prompted.

Story
Meet Buzz! He is a 6-month-old Pitbull mix, searching for his forever home. Buzz is a handsome and energetic young boy. He would enjoy an active lifestyle with plenty of mental & physical stimulation. Buzz knows some basic commands but is at the age where socialization and continued training are vital for him to develop into a mature and fulfilled adult dog. This boy responds very well to positive reinforcement and is very food motivated! Buzz has lived with other dogs in the past and may be able to share his future home with canine companions with slow, proper introductions. Buzz is believed to be a Pitbull mix, however we cannot be 100% accurate without a DNA test. This means he is a large and powerful breed; he is very intelligent and will have high needs when it comes to play, exercise, and mental stimulation. Pitbulls are strong, energetic and highly loyal dogs, any prospective adopter would ideally have breed experience, or experience with large breed dogs with high energy needs. Buzz is a fun-loving, active guy who is eager to engage with people! Buzz would love nothing more than to snuggle up after a walk, an outing, or a play session with his new people. If you think Buzz could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below. https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/ *TIP: We encourage all applicants to write a little bit about themselves when prompted.

Story
Meet Nora! Nora is a 3-month-old Husky/Pomeranian mix, searching for her forever home. Nora is a lively and energetic pup who is always ready for an adventure! With a playful spirit and boundless enthusiasm, Nora is the perfect companion for an active family looking to add a burst of joy and excitement to their lives. After she is healed, this spirited little pup would love to run and explore, and she is eager to learn new tricks and games. This sweet girl had an unfortunate accident in her previous home that resulted in a broken leg. She has undergone repair surgery and has several months of recovery ahead of her, including strict kennel rest and very limited exercise allowances. It can be challenging to keep a puppy under kennel rest, so any potential adopters must be prepared to help Nora over these hurdles to get her back to full health.Nora is at the age where training and routine are critical, so she needs the consistency, patience and love of her new guardian to show her the ways of developing into a mature and fulfilled adult dog while keeping her healing in mind. Adopters are encouraged to attend puppy obedience classes, but the basics are a must - leash training, socializing with people and other dogs, and, of course, house training. Nora won't be a puppy forever, and as she grows, there are some important things to keep in mind about her breed. Nora is presumed to be a Husky/Pomeranian mix; however, we cannot guarantee this is 100% accurate without a DNA test. Huskies are very social, vocal dogs who regularly need the company of their people or other dogs; they are not suited to being left alone all day. Both Huskies and Pomeranians thrive with exercise, enrichment and mental stimulation. Previous or similar breed experience is recommended! **We are accepting local applications and are looking for a Foster-to-Adopt home while Nora awaits her follow up leg x-rays and spay surgery. **If you think Nora could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below.https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/*TIP: We encourage all applicants to write a little bit about themselves when prompted.

Story
Meet Thor and Babs! Thor and his sister Babs are an adorable duo ready to meet their new forever family! This duo was brought to the spca from life on a farm, so they are well acquainted with wide open spaces, fresh air, and sunshine. These days, their dream is a slightly slower pace in a cozy home snuggled by a fireplace, lounging with their humans, and having loving people to share it all with. They are happy and friendly dogs who greet people with big smiles and enthusiastic wagging tails. Walks are one of their favourite activities, and they do very well on their leashes whether that's going on a familiar stroll or exploring a new area they are sure to be excited. When they are not on a stroll or soaking up as much attention as possible, you'll often find them lounging together in the yard, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the calm moments. They're experts at relaxation and would love a home that appreciates the balance of cozy downtime with adventure sprinkled into the mix. If Thor and Babs sounds like the right fit for your home, please fill in an application below! https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 39.6 Age: 7yrs 0mths 1wks
