Story
Ellie is a friendly, excitable girl looking for a new place to call home.She loves to play, is happy to meet new people and enjoys a good snack.This girl also walks like a dream on harness and loves squeaky toys!We have found that Ellie would likely prefer not the share her space with another dog and may do best as the only animal in the home, though with the right dog, she may want to play!She is still working on her manners and tends to jump up on her people when she just can't contain her excitement.Ellie can also be a bit of a scavenger and is not to be trusted around garbage cans.Ellie is still awaiting a spay appointment, but she is hoping to find her new family while she waits!The first step is filling out the application below, meeting Ellie will be set up with approved applicants only.https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 36.6 Age: 3yrs 0mths 4wks

Doug

Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Young
Errington, BC
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs,
Story
Doug is a 1.5-year-old Mastiff/Pit Bull mix who is basically a giant bundle of love. He's a very sweet, very BIG boy with an even bigger heart. Doug absolutely adores playing-whether it's romping around with other dogs or soaking up attention and fun with his human friends.He came to us as an unclaimed stray, so we don't know much about his past, but it's clear that Doug is friendly, social, and eager to connect. His happy, goofy personality shines through, and he seems to genuinely enjoy being around both people and pups.Because of his size and young age, Doug will benefit from continued training and guidance as he settles into a home, but his affectionate nature and playful spirit make him a wonderful candidate for a family looking for a loving, social companion.If you're ready for a big dog with a soft soul who just wants to play, love, and be part of a family, Doug could be your guy. If you think you could be Doug's perfect match, please fill out an online application. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 35.2 Age: 1yrs 6mths 0wks
