Story
ADOPTION ALERT: STUNNING LONG AND LEAN AVAILABLE Meet Freddie - 65lbs of energy, enthusiasm and joy Birthday: Not quite sure but some time in October of 2024 Weight: A looooong and lean 65lbs Currently in Foster in Nelson, BC Who is he? an eager to please, clever goofball, extremely smart, food motivated, playful & enthusiastic, FAST... this boy can run...Loves routine! Skills include: - did we mention he is FAST! He would be GREAT at agility - 10/10 on the cuddle scale - a bit like a house alarm, will bark to alert you (with positive reinforcement he knows to cease when instructed) - 10/10 on bringing joy and enthusiasm to all things in life - plays well with other dogs after proper introduction - loves to learn and work - good with horses, chickens and cats - great in the car and is crate trained for short periods of down time (overnight he prefers his own bed or yours) Work in Progress includes: - can be reactive with new dogs if not introduced properly - shy when meeting new people or dogs - his early life in the shelter has caused him to be wary of strangers but once he knows you, he warms right up - trust is earned with Freddie, not given automatically Ideal home: - ideally with a doggie sibling who will tolerate his playful puppy-ness but could be an only dog as long as he had regular play dates - he loves routine - rural setting away from the hustle and bustle of city life - fenced outdoor space he can safely explore - people who will worship him and make him feel safe and loved - humans with experience with shy dogs who can boost his confidence - a life that offers adventure and allows him to grow into the amazing dog he is becoming - a home willing to continue his raw feeding Medical Flex: - he is healthy, raw fed and has delayed neuter to allow his growth plates to close Freddie’s Dream: Find a human who loves him as much as he loves to run! Someone who will be patient with him as he finds his way and overcomes “stranger danger” and loves to cuddle on the couch.

Story
Meet Oyster, he is a 5-month-old Lab mix, ready to give an ocean of love! Oyster's life started out in very rough waters; he arrived in poor health, very unsure of the world, hesitant of people, yet still eager to show affection and be loved. This special boy is still learning the ins and outs of how to be a dog, but he is patiently waiting for his future family to come to lead him the rest of the way! Oyster has never lived in a home before, so he will need a patient guardian who can give him time to settle in, help build up his confidence, and guide him through new experiences. He would do best in a home that can match his budding enthusiasm while also understanding his softer side. As far as we know, Oyster is a mix of several breeds, including Labrador Retriever. Labs are very intelligent, high-energy dogs that require a lot of training, stimulation, and exercise. Oyster is at the age where training and routine are critical, so he needs the consistency, patience and love of his new guardian to show him the ways of developing into a mature and fulfilled adult dog. If you think Oyster could be a good fit for you, please fill out the 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.

Story
Meet Anemone, she is a 5-month-old Lab mix, ready to give an ocean of love! Anemone's life started out in very rough waters; she arrived in poor health, very unsure of the world, hesitant of people, yet still eager to show affection and be loved. This special girl is still learning the ins and outs of how to be a dog, but she is patiently waiting for her future family to come to lead her the rest of the way! Given her life before coming to the shelter, this sweet girl is having a hard time taking in all there is to experience in the world. Practically everything is new to her, and it's critical that any potential adopters are willing to prioritize creating a safe space for her to learn that the world isn't so scary after all. It is strongly recommended that adopters have prior experience with fearful dogs before applying for Anemone. Anemone has never lived in a home before, so she will need a patient guardian who can give her time to settle in, help build up her confidence, and guide her through new experiences. She would do best in a home that can match her budding enthusiasm while also understanding her softer side. As far as we know, Anemone is a mix of several breeds, including labrador retriever.

Story
Meet the spectacular Cecil! Are you looking for your next companion whose heart is as big as his paws? Cecil is an absolute show-stopper and is eagerly waiting for his ideal adopter to notice him! His perfect home would be willing to give him alllllllllll of their attention as the only dog in the home, as he can play a little rough sometimes, and understand his desire to chase cats. He LOVES being around his people and is always willing to play with toys or spend time in the yard with those that he's familiar with.Cecil is a very handsome fellow, but he is still working on his confidence with new environments and people. He will need a patient adopter who is willing to shower him with compliments, and help make those new experiences a little less scary. He is still learning the ropes of good manners and will need some help ensuring that all 4 paws stay on the ground, but Cecil promises to give you all of his love and snuggles in return.Cecil is a very big boy, so he will need lots of space, and lots of food, to keep him looking and feeling his best. If you are interested in adopting su-paw-star Cecil, please submit an application to the Shuswap branch through the link below!https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Apricot Secondary Color: Black Weight: 59 Age: 3yrs 10mths 4wks
