Story
Meet Gouda! He is a 3-year-old Husky/Shepherd mix, searching for his forever home. This sweet guy is a bit of a wallflower at first, but once he gets settled in, his upbeat and loving nature comes out, and he is ready to play and snuggle! Gouda came from a home where he didn't meet a whole lot of people or experience much of the world, but he often enjoyed having an animal companion or two. So, while he is still learning the world and getting used to making new friends, his sweet-natured heart makes him an easy guy to love. Gouda is believed to be a Husky/German Shepherd/Mastiff mix, making him a combination of three large and powerful breeds. He is very intelligent, and has high needs when it comes to play, exercise, and mental stimulation. His breed tendencies can also make him apprehensive of strangers and exceptionally loyal. Potential adopters will need to be willing to create a safe space for Gouda, while also encouraging him to enjoy new experiences. He is a nervous fella, and he is not interested in people rushing in to pet him, so he'll need guardians willing to advocate for his boundaries.Gouda gets his name from his love of cheese! A love that runs so deep that he's had to go on a little diet. He is temporarily on a prescription weight loss food to help him reach a healthy weight. Once he does, he will be ok to enjoy large breed adult food. This kind, fluffy boy needs lots of room to roam and a comfy place outside to enjoy some fresh air. His future guardians will need to be dog savvy people who can accommodate his social needs. Gouda is currently awaiting dental surgery and is available for Foster-To-Adopt until he is medically cleared. If you think Gouda 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: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 49 Age: 3yrs 4mths 1wks

Story
Meet Theo! Theo is a handsome 7‑year‑old Husky-Mastiff mix with a gentle soul and a quiet wisdom about him. He may take a little time to warm up to new people, but once he trusts you, he shows his affectionate, loyal side in the sweetest ways.This gentle boy has had a few homes through no fault of his own, and each move has left him a little unsure of new places. Underneath that initial reserve, is a deeply loyal dog who wants nothing more than stability, kindness, and someone who will finally be his forever.Theo is believed to be a Husky/Mastiff mix, making him a combination of two large and powerful breeds. Huskies are loyal dogs who bond deeply with their owners. Theo would do best in a home where he has abundant mental and physical enrichment and exercise catered to his age. Huskies can be vocal and prone to separation anxiety, and while he can be a quiet couch potato at times- Theo is no exception to the husky stereotype! So his new family would need to be prepared for a bit of vocal commentary. After many transitions, Theo is searching for a patient, understanding forever home where he can settle in without pressure. He thrives in a calm environment with people who respect his boundaries and celebrate his small victories. Potential adopters will need to be willing to create a safe space for Theo as he settles in. He can be reserved and weary of strangers in his space, so he'll need guardians willing to advocate for his comfort. Because of his affinity for snacks, Theo is currently on a weight‑loss plan. He'll need an adopter who can continue supporting his health journey with measured meals, regular walks, and a bit of encouragement. He's not a high‑energy whirlwind, but he does enjoy getting out, exploring at his own pace, and building confidence through routine and gentle activity.If you think Theo 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 Hudson! Hudson is a 7 month old Kelpie mix searching for a new beginning!This sweet 7‑month‑old Kelpie mix is the definition of resilience. Despite not having the easiest start to life, he's blossoming into a bright, affectionate young dog who's eager to learn what it means to feel safe and loved. Every day he shows more confidence, curiosity, and a whole lot of heart!Hudson is a lively and energetic pup who is always ready for an adventure! He's still figuring out the world, so patience and kindness will go a long way in helping him continue to grow. New experiences can feel a bit overwhelming at first, but with gentle guidance and positive reinforcement, he warms up beautifully. Hudson would make a playful, loyal companion who wants nothing more than to be part of your daily life... and walkies!Hudson 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. 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. Hudson won't be a puppy forever, and as he grows, there are some important things to keep in mind about his breed. Happy is presumed to be a Kelpie mix, however we cannot guarantee this is 100% accurate without a DNA test. As a Kelpie mix, he's smart, energetic, and ready to thrive. He will require structure, enrichment, and plenty of opportunities to use that clever brain of his. He'll do best with adopters who understand that progress takes time and who are excited to help him build confidence. **Hudson is available for foster-to-adopt while he awaits his neuter surgery**If you think Hudson 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 Penny! Penny is a loving girl who is ready to find her forever home. She can be shy and timid at first and needs time to warm up to new people. Once Penny learns that you are her person, she is all in. Penny's favourite way to spend her day is right next to the people she loves, going out on a walk, or taking a nap. Penny is looking for a patient home who will give her a quiet and stable life. She has some training, but needs a supportive home that will help her to learn to keep all four paws on the ground. Penny can get excitable and show off her enthusiasm when it comes to her favourite things.

Story
Max is a charming 7-year-old mix with the best of three breeds and a personality that's full of heart. Known for his adorable "wiggle butt," Max doesn't just wag his tail-he wags his whole body when he's happy (which is often when he sees his favorite people).He's deeply affectionate and thrives on human connection. Max can have some anxiety when left alone, so he'd do best in a home where someone is around more often, or where he can be supported with structure and reassurance.Max needs to be the only dog in the household, as he prefers to have all the love and attention to himself. That said, he's shown a sweet curiosity and gentle affection toward kittens, which might make him a good fit for a home with feline friends (with proper introductions, of course).Max is looking for a dedicated, dog-savvy adopter who understands that behind his big feelings is a big-hearted, loyal companion just waiting for the right person to love.Please submit an application through the link below for Mr. Max!https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Red Brown Weight: 26 Age: 7yrs 3mths 4wks
