Siberian Husky

Male, Young
Errington, BC
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Billy 🩵Billy initially came into care after his family was no longer able to look after him. He is a young dog filled with a lot of energy, affection and personality. He is still learning the basics, so some gentle training and leash training will go a long way for him. His husky roots seem to kick in when he sees small critters, so a home without any cats or small animals would be best for him! Billy has a bright spirit and enjoys being around people. He loves joining in on whatever you are doing, whether it is playing in the yard or settling in for a quiet snuggle. This sweet guy loves to chase toys and will often bring them right back for another round of fetch. When given the chance, Billy will try and escape his leash, so some patience will be needed in getting him comfortable with that moving forward. He would thrive in a home that can offer a good mix of activity, positive-reinforcement training, structure and affection. He loves long walks and runs, so an active home is best! If you are looking for a loving companion who will bring joy, fun and plenty of excitement into your life, Billy may be the perfect match.Apply to adopt Billy here: https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Grey Weight: 24.5 Age: 1yrs 6mths 0wks

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Merv!Merv is a 7-month-old neutered male Black Mouth Cur with a heart full of potential. This sweet boy is shy and not comfortable with strangers, so he'll need a very controlled environment and a guardian who is knowledgeable about dog body language.Once he warms up, Merv's playful personality shines-he's affectionate, goofy, and full of high-energy enthusiasm!Because he's still learning about the world, Merv can be a bit mischievous and may chew things he shouldn't. He'll thrive in a very active, experienced home that can provide plenty of exercise, structure, and reward-based training to help him grow into the wonderful dog he's meant to be.Merv would not be an appropriate fit for a home with children. He needs someone who is comfortable managing his environments and working with him to help him feel more comfortable and confident.If you're looking for a clever, loving young pup to guide and grow with, Merv might just be your perfect match. 💛📅 Meet & Greets by Appointment OnlyDue to his shy personality, we will only be doing meet and greets by appointment.

Story
Meet Adorable Alita! This sweet girl is a playful pup with energy to burn, and cant wait to find someone to do so with!!Alita is looking for a home that can keep her body and mind busy with fun activities and adventures, and will offer endless laughter and love in return. This girly is learning to walk nicely on the leash and to keep her feet on the ground, but she will need some guidance with positive reinforcement training to really nail it down! Luckily, she really loves her treats and loves to challenge her mind, so we know with time she will become a star.Miss Alita is a husky mix, and does love to sing the songs of her people at times when she's in a silly mood! Her wooo's and wowowows are just fabulous, and she is sure to impress with her sweet tunes. She loves to zoom around the yard with her people, and makes us laugh while her bum almost touches the ground with her crazy speed!Alita has not been introduced face to face to other dogs in our care, but seems very interested in the well mannered dogs through the fence, and would potentially do well with a canine friend. She is not suitable for a home with cats however, as she does have quite the prey drive and enjoys to chase. She's previously lived with kids, so would likely enjoy having some playmates in her life again!Interested?
