Story
Tika is a beautiful, young, energetic girl looking for her forever home. With so many good qualities, it's hard to know where to start. Tika is outgoing and sweet and loves people. She loves playing with dogs but would do best in a home without another dog as she LOVES food so much that she doesn't want to share. She also has lived peacefully with cats and is respectful of her little furry friends. Tika would love a human companion that is active and enjoys being outside with her. She would also love a home with a nice big, fenced yard that she could practice her zoomies in. She is truly a gem and is the perfect dog for Kootenay living.

He's eager to please and has all the potential to become an amazing companion.Chuckles is looking for an active family who can keep up with his playful spirit, provide plenty of exercise, and continue his training while giving him all the love and attention he deserves.If you're searching for a loyal, adventurous companion who will happily join you on hikes, swims, and everyday fun, Chuckles is ready to make a splash in your life!

Story
Was a rescue dog and is fixed said it was border collie mix but if it has it’s very little. I received him in January. He has anxiety issues, has bitten at our neighbours daughter when she was jogging but didn’t break skin, chases cars, chews everything, can be aggressive with other dogs. Apart from this he is a sweet affectionate dog and protective of its owners. At this time he is too much for us and with our other animals I just can’t trust him. He loves car rides and running etc
