Nube

Labrador Retriever

Female, 4 yrs 7 mos

Nanaimo, BC

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Nube who is looking for a home. Nube is a 4.5 year old mixed breed, full grown at a perfect 45 lbs. We think she may be a lab cross, with a gorgeous white coat, and beautiful markings to round out her unique look. She shares space with other dogs and enjoys playtime in the yard with them. Nube is friendly and affectionate with shelter visitors with a lovely disposition. She is medium energy - with enough energy to keep up, but would also be grateful for some chill time to make up for missed cuddles. Mostly she would love her very own family. Nube hasn't been tested extensively with cats. She sees them without reacting, but for now, we will seek a home without cats to be sure. While Nube is lovely with people, she's not been specifically tested with kids. Nube is spayed and vaccinated. She is missing some of her front teeth - likely a result of escaping shackles or surviving on street scraps. If you think you might be a fit for this beauty, as her chance at a forever home, or as a foster along the way, she'd love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com

Nani

Dachshund Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, 5 mos

Nanaimo, BC

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Born August 2025, currently weighing 15lbs, we expect her to be a medium sized dog with a stocky body and shorter legs. Nani and her siblings had a very hard start in life. They were born on a rural property largely uncared for until a worried neighbour went to check on them to bring them food. She found that they suffered from significant wounds on their back from the fencing which was badly infected. The neighbour took all the dogs home to care for them and had them spayed / neutered. They are now under the care of the SPCA PV jointly with the foster, and have received all of their vaccines as they prepare for happier lives. She will have some permanent scarring on her back, and lost part of her tail due to the injuries. Nani is looking for a quiet home to slowly expose her to a kinder, gentler world. If you think you might be a fit for this young girl either as her forever home, or a foster refuge along the way, reach out to us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com
