Kia

Black Mouth Cur Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

Nanaimo, BC

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Young Kia, born May 2025 weighs 13 pounds and likely will be a medium sized dog. Sadly despite her young age, she did not have an easy start. Very young she was dumped, and taken in by nearby residents – but they also didn’t care for her – leaving her full of fleas and ticks. Our sister sanctuary the SPCA PV got word that she was in need and managed to fit her into the shelter. Kia is an energetic pup, with a rough and tumble play style, which can be a lot for other dogs, so she might be a solo adventure dog in her home. She plays best with bigger dogs. She was tested with cats and wasn’t afraid, but also a bit over zealous, so might be too much of a party for many cats. Kia has been enjoying some pool time at the shelter, and has become a good swimmer. You can check out her pool adventures here: https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16rxiGaqvo/. In her brief stay in a home she was ok alone, loved to play, and didn’t chew things. Kia is now healthy and vaccinated and is looking for a real family to call her own. She has options to fly to BC or Alberta. If you think you might be a fit either as her forever home or as a foster, she’d love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com, or you can go straight to our application: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw (Please check your spam folder for our response).

Not good with kids, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

He'll listen to Tim, Timothy, or Timmy, but likes it most when you call him handsome! This handsome fellow is on a mission to find a fur-ever family. Timmy is in need of an adult-only home where it is all about him. Timmy is starting his runner-man journey, and does great running alongside his person on quiet trails. Timmy is a goofy boy with the cutest puppy dog eyes. Timmy can be sensitive about body handling and we are working hard with the use of cooperative care handling methods. He would love if his new family could continue this positive reinforcement based training to help him build trust and feel more comfortable in situations like routine vet visits. Timmy is searching for a home that is all about him, no other animals please! But guess what, he wears his muzzle like the true CHAMPION that he is. He prefers to live the solo dog lifestyle where he doesn't have to share his space or time being around other dogs. A home away from the hustle and bustle of a busy neighbourhood street would be ideal. Timmy is the goofiest guy with the heart of gold. He wants a person to love him forever, respect his boundaries, and love him for the heartthrob that he is. In return, he will spoil you with endless love and affection. ♥ Primary Color: Tan Weight: 27 Age: 4yrs 6mths 0wks
