Story
Fancy and oh so fabulous, this gorgeous girl is full of life, energy and love! Fancy loves two things: exercise, and being with her people- she will eagerly jump at any opportunity to combine her passions and play! Fancy, though short in stature, is big in personality and is eager to find someone who shares her zest for life... and fetch! Fancy is presumed to be a Heeler-Shepherd mix, though we cannot be sure without a DNA test. Fancy shares breed traits of both, she is incredibly fun, loving, and ready to take on any adventure with her people. Fancy sometimes struggles with being left alone and may become anxious when left for long periods of time. Fancy would benefit from ongoing training; learning things like leash manners, impulse control, and how to hone-in her brilliant mind would undoubtedly be paramount unlock her great potential. Fancy's ideal home would provide her with ample physical and mental stimulation, plenty of attention, and room to play. Fancy is incredibly smart, and because she is a fiery combination of two working-breeds she would thrive with a job to do and ample space to do so. Fancy has successfully lived with another dog but would do best in a home where she is the only pet, and with no small children. Fancy is a strong, excitable girl who isn't aware of her own strength. If you think Fancy could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below. **Please note: Fancy is currently available for Foster-To-Adopt while she awaits dental surgery and a recheck** https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/ **NOTE**: Our dog team will only be contacting applicants who have submitted an application.

Story
True to his name, Moose is a big boy with an even bigger heart, and he's ready to find peace in his forever home. Thankfully, this gentle giant is much more snuggly than a moose! Moose is a pretty simple guy, he likes his cuddles, treats, playing and walks, and he loves to enjoy peace and quiet at home. He's happiest when he has company around but doesn't want to be overwhelmed with too many guests! This sweet fella hasn't experienced much change in his life, so he will need some help as he settles into his new routine, new space, and new life. In Moose's perfect world, an experienced guardian would come and scoop him up, and whisk him away to a calm, consistent environment where his anxieties can melt away. Potential adopters will need to have experience with L/XL breeds. Moose is not suitable for a home with a cat.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.

Story
This sweet boy is looking for an active home that can both keep up with his enthusiasm for life and finally show him the comfort and stability he wants and deserves! Dom was brought to the shelter as part of a large intake of dogs. He arrived fearful, under socialized, and afraid of the world. Slowly, after realizing that being a wallflower isn't all that great (and that it's actually much more fun to run around outside) he has begun to blossom into a smart, outgoing boy. Dom is ready to face life's uncertainties with his people by his side! Dom would flourish with an experienced adopter, committed to guiding him through the uncertain moments in life, while also appreciating his active nature. Dom is presumed to be a husky-mix. This means that true to his breed, he's a young, energetic boy who loves toys, games, and walks. Adopters who are willing to provide ample mental and physical stimulation... and a boat load of snuggles, are a must for this boy! Dom has been working on leash-training while in care and would benefit from continued training and socialization. Because of his initial reserved nature, Dom is best suited to a quiet, consistent home with no young children or frequent visits with strangers. Dom is eager to experience more of the world, let his hair down, and become the well-rounded dog he is meant to be. If you're looking for a fun-loving companion to join you on life's adventures, Dom could be the boy for you! https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/ **NOTE**: Our dog team will only be contacting applicants who have submitted an application.

Story
Woo was found as a stray, but we know exactly what he was wandering hoping to find... his furrever home! Woo is a smart boy, he's affectionate, and oh so clever! Woo's interests include walks with his people, ample time in the yard, and sunbathing. Woo would love a home with ample space to roam, and a guardian who would happily receive all of the love this guy has to give. He is always thrilled to make new friends and politely pat them for endless pets!True to his breed(s) Woo comes equipped with a natural instinct to wander and protect his home. Woo's "musts" include a home with a securely fenced property and a home where he is the only dog. As he inches closer to his golden years, adopters should be prepared to keep him happy and healthy with regular veterinary care. He has shown signs of mild allergies which benefit from a hypoallergenic diet.If you're looking for a loyal companion and have a home where Woo can be your one and only, this sweet boy might just be the perfect match!If you think he could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below. **Please note: Woo is currently available for Foster-To-Adopt* https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/ **NOTE**: Our dog team will only be contacting applicants who have submitted an application.

Story
Can you make room for some good Karma in your life?! This wonderful girl is looking for someone who will appreciate her big personality and become her new life-long best friend. Karma loves to snuggle, but she is just as into playing fetch or going for a swim as she is playing the part of a couch potato. After a good play session, she's happy to enjoy quiet time with her people. Karma is presumed to be a German Shepherd x Mastiff mix, but we aren't certain. She is likely a mix of large high-energy working breeds; so, Karma's natural need to exert energy is an itch that adopters should be willing to scratch. Karma has allergies, and as is common with allergies, she has experienced recurrent ear infections. Any potential adopters would need to be willing to keep up with regular vet visits and ongoing medical care like a hypoallergenic diet to keep her happy and healthy!In Karma's perfect world, she would be the only animal in the house. She is dog-selective and just wants to be an only child. She can be jumpy and excitable, so she isn't suitable for a home with seniors or young children. Basically, this beautiful girl wants (and deserves) to be the star of the show, soaking up all the attention she can!**Karma is available for Foster-To-Adopt while she awaits a vet recheck**If you think Karma 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.
