Story
Meet Alta! Alta is a 5 year old German Shepherd, searching for her forever home.Alta is a friendly, confident, and independent dog. She loves to be outside for walks and play, but is also happy to hang out inside and do some snugglin'. She is a very social girl, but she is comfortable enjoying her own company as well. Alta loves to go for long walks, where she can show off her excellent leash training skills. She LOVES playing with other dogs, and will play until she drops. When she first came to us, she was lacking many basic skills like leash training and basic commands, but in just a couple short months, she has mastered them! She is mostly house trained, but may have an accident inside if she doesn't get an opportunity to go outside for a while.As a very active and athletic breed, German Shepherds requires lots of exercise for his physical and mental well-being. A dog who is not exercised enough will become frustrated and likely to develop undesirable behaviors. For grooming, GSDs usually requiring just a quick brushing every few days or so to help remove loose hairs, but they do shed more profusely once or twice a year.When Alta came to us, she had severe ruptured mastitis, leaving her with massive open wounds. It took a while, but she has healed extremely well, and is now a very healthy dog. She is currently on anxiety medication to reduce her stress in shelter, however, once she adjusts to a new home, she could taper off this medication under veterinary supervision.In Alta's ideal home, she would have a structured routine and lots of exercise. She would be best suited for a home with a family, so she could have lots of company. Alta would love a home with one or more other dogs, given a proper introduction and compatibility. She can be jumpy, so older, dog savvy kids would be a better fit than small children.If you think Alta could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below.https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/ Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 32.6 Age: 4yrs 10mths 0wks

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Tiger came to us as a local surrender. Tiger has been raised on a farm with plenty of family and children. When Tiger was a puppy he was hit by a drunk driver which resulted in a costly surgery on his hind end. Tiger has been very resilent and he has no idea that he walks a bit differently than other dogs, there is nothing that this boy can't do! He is completley healed but it is the vet's recommendation is to keep his weight on the slight side. Tiger is a social, friendly, playful, active dog who deserves a fabulous active home and plenty of love.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 18, 2024, 12:07 pm
