Story
This sweet, special guy is so easy to love... and easy to spot in a crowd! Poki was born with a birth defect, making his head shape irregular, but the only side-effect of his unique appearance is he will always catch your eye! This friendly boy is a Husky mix - highly intelligent, fiercely independent, and exceptionally high-energy, with an affectionate yet goofy temperament. Poki needs a companion with time to spare for equal parts training and cuddles! No matter what activity you're doing, he is SURE to keep a smile on your face. :)Because of his affinity for snacking, Poki is temporarily on a weight-loss plan until he reaches a healthy weight. This kind, fluffy boy needs lots of room to roam and a comfy place outside to enjoy some fresh air. His excitable nature and breed tendencies make him best suited for experienced dog owners with no small children, as he is still learning not to jump and mouth during play. Poki has lived with a doggie pal and a cat in the past but would require slow introductions. **Please note: Poki is awaiting dental surgery, so we are prioritizing local applicants for Foster-To-Adopt.** If you think he could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below:https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/ **NOTE**: Our dog team will only be contacting applicants who have submitted an application. We encourage all applicants to write a little bit about themselves, their pets, and their home when prompted. Leaving these questions empty drastically affects the likelihood of receiving a call back. We carefully review every application we receive, However, as a small team, we're not able to respond to every inquiry. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 30.3 Age: 4yrs 11mths 2wks

Story
Though he may be small, this little guy has a giant appetite for attention, snuggles, zoomies and friendship! Alex is a very special 3-year-old Shih Tzu cross looking for a new beginning where he can be the centre of someone's world once again. Alex came to the shelter after sadly losing his previous owner, but through it all, Alex's spirit has remained unbreakable, and finally, this sweet boy has reached a place in his health journey where he can join a loving home and enjoy the years to come.Alex came from circumstances where he had never spent abundant time alone. He will require very patient, experienced, and understanding adopters to help him with separation anxiety. Alex is best suited to a home with no other animals - in his ideal world, all the attention goes to him! Alex currently on an allergy friendly weight-loss plan and will need support to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Prospective adopters should be experienced with dogs with dietary needs as well as separation anxiety. Adopters should be prepared to commit to regular vet visits, grooming, and thoughtfully tailored exercise to keep Alex feeling his best. **PLEASE NOTE: Alex is currently available for Foster-To-Adopt while he awaits his dental surgery.** If you think Alex 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: Charcoal Secondary Color: White Weight: 12.5 Age: 3yrs 1mths 2wks

Story
Meet Leo!Leo is a friendly, independent gentleman who tends to be more of an introvert than the life of the party. While his fluffy appearance may make him look like a cuddle bug, Leo would much rather enjoy a quiet conversation with his favorite human than curl up for a snuggle.Leo will thrive with guardians who understand and respect his boundaries, giving him the time and space to get to know new people at his own pace. If you're familiar with his breed, you'll recognize his independent nature and appreciate that Leo likes to do things on his own terms.Once he's comfortable, Leo enjoys playing with other dogs. He has enjoyed the company of older respectful children, as always, supervision is required. His history with cats is unknown, so a cat-free home may be the best fit.Leo especially enjoys having access to a yard where he can stretch his legs, cool down, and take in everything happening around him. He can be quite vocal and has a tendency to bark, so a home where he doesn't share walls with close neighbors would be ideal.Leo is currently receiving treatment for an ear infection and will benefit from regular veterinary check-ups to help keep him happy and feeling his best. Like many dogs of his breed, Leo has some food sensitivities and will need to remain on a special diet moving forward to support his overall health and well-being.If you're looking for a unique companion who values trust, respect, and a little personal space, Leo may be just the gentleman for you.If you would like to know more about Leo, you can submit a Pre-Adoption Questionnaire as well at;https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Gold Weight: 27.3 Age: 8yrs 8mths 0wks

Story
If you are looking for a friend who is goodlooking, active and somewhat goofy have we got a guy for you! This handsome fella is Ruger. He would love to be in a home that has lots of time to spend with him and open up his life to all the great things that are out there. Still young and strong , Ruger needs sturdy owners that can deal with his unbridled enthusiasm for anything he finds interesting. He will be too much for children that are not teens. Like most Boxers, Ruger wears his heart on his sleeve, he is emotional and sensitive. If you are looking for a guard dog, Ruger is not your man. If you are looking for a couch buddy he may be the companion you have been waiting for. Cats would probably be looked at as fun stuffy toys for chasing and chewing. Other dogs would have to be very tolerant of Ruger's learning curve on new things. If Ruger 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 Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 26.36 Age: 0yrs 11mths 2wks
