Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Rusty! This lovable, big-hearted, slightly goofy 12-year-old is a giant of a dog! Despite his age, Rusty still thinks he's a puppy at heart, full of energy, mischief, and a wagging tail that never quits. He's the kind of dog who believes every day is a good day for a walk, a cuddle, and maybe a little bit of silliness.Rusty gets along famously with cats and dogs, making him the perfect new best friend for your furry family members. He's super friendly, sweet as can be, and loves to be loved, just don't be surprised if he tries to sneak a kiss or two! Right now, Rusty is rocking a snazzy cast after a little leg mishap, but that doesn't slow him down one bit. He's active, playful, and still has plenty of pep in his step, though he might need a little extra patience while he recovers.One of Rusty's funniest quirks? He loves sleeping on his back with all four legs stretched up in the air, like he's doing his best impression of a fluffy, upside-down starfish. It's adorable and totally his signature move! Watch out, because Rusty also enjoys sleep-running with all four paws straight in the air, a hilarious, upside-down karate routine that is highly hazardous to anyone in his immediate blast radius!Rusty is also quite the playful pup, especially when it comes to cats. He loves to play and can be a bit overbearing, so he might be a little much for less dog-savvy cats who prefer their personal space. But with the right match, he can be a sweet, loyal buddy.He's looking for a foster-to-adopt home where he can continue healing, feel safe, and get used to his new people. He does have some separation anxiety, so he's best suited for a home where someone's around most of the time, he just loves being with his humans! With a little love, patience, and maybe some extra belly rubs, Rusty will be your cheerful, affectionate companion!Could you be the one to give this charming, cheeky boy the forever home he deserves? Rusty's ready to steal your heart and a very large space on your bed and couch!

Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Rupert here is the sweetest, goofiest boy who is eager to find his new beginnings!Rupert absolutely loves playtime, and it's quite entertaining watching him run around and burn off his energy. He loves his people, and is always happy to receieve attention, whether its pets or cuddles. Rupert is selective with other dogs, he seems to prefer dogs that are smaller than him. He is also a bit too interested in cats, so ideally he should go to a home with no other pets. Walk time is his favorite, and he sits very patiently while getting harnessed up. He's very food motivated, and is a great listener. Rupert does have some ongoing medical needs, and is seeking a committed guardian who will ensure that he gets the care he needs. We are happy to discuss his needs further with a potential adopter. If you're interested in Rupert, send us an application! https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Red Brown Weight: 32.5 Age: 3yrs 1mths 3wks

Kota

Alaskan Malamute

Male, Young

Comox, BC

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

This handsome boy is ready to shine in a home with someone dedicated to helping him grow into the very best version of himself.We absolutely adore Kota, and it's impossible not to fall for his goofy, playful personality. From his award winning "Awooowooo's" to his world famous dramatic belly flops in search of the perfect scratch spot, he keeps everyone laughing. He loves cuddles, playtime, and being close to his people, and would happily spend his days following you from room to room.Kota didn't have the easiest start in life. Having spent much of his early years outside, he missed out on many of the important experiences and life skills dogs typically learn when they're young. Despite this, he has embraced his new world with enthusiasm and is making great progress. What he needs now is a patient, confident owner who can provide structure, routine, guidance, and plenty of love. There may still be a journey ahead, but with positive reinforcement and someone committed to helping him succeed, Kota has all the makings of an incredible companion.Due to his past experiences, Kota can be selective about his canine friendships and has not been successful living with other dogs. He will need to be the only dog in the home so he can feel comfortable, secure, and truly thrive. While he is working hard on building positive associations with other dogs, he can be reactive and particular about who he chooses as friends. An experienced owner who can recognise his triggers, advocate for his needs, and continue his positive reinforcement training will set him up for success.As an Alaskan Malamute, Kota comes from a lineage of ancient sled-pulling and hunting dogs, and his prey drive reflects those instincts. Small animals, particularly cats, are simply a little too interesting for him, so he will need a cat-free home.Kota is a truly wonderful dog who just needs the right person to see his potential. His larger-than-life personality, endless affection, and hilarious antics make him an absolute joy to be around. For the right home, he will be a loyal, loving companion and bring years of laughter, adventure, and happiness. Primary Color: Red Secondary Color: White Weight: 40.4 Age: 4yrs 10mths 3wks

Not good with kids, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Coco Chanel!This lady may be small in size, but sure isn't in personality! This gal is seeking an active home that can keep up with her crazy energy, as she hasn't quite discovered her off switch just yet. Coco reaches incredible heights with her springs for legs, and is learning to keep four on the floor. She gets very excited with new people and forgets all her manners, so needs someone to practice consistence and positive reinforcement to remember to keep it lady like. She can be quite mouthy with hands and clothes when shes excited, and would not be a good fit for young children, but has done well with older kids and teenagers in the past. She will thrive with a home that can really help her burn off her young gal energy and keep her busy brain a bit more settled!Coco Chanel is a very loving girl who enjoys snuggling under her blankets with her person, and going out on adventures to see new friends. She can be quite vocal when excited, and a bit sad when left alone. She seems to be better in a home than she has in the shelter, but may need some time to adjust in a new home to being away from her people. Coco doesn't seem to mind other dogs and may not mind spending time around other canine pals.If youre looking for a high energy, go go go girl, please submit your application below! **Please note, we do not have the resources to accommodate walk in viewing. Meet and Greets are set up by appointment only with approved applications. Small dogs gather alot of interest and we sadly do not have the ability to contact everyone who applies** Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Red Weight: 5.8 Age: 3yrs 3mths 1wks

Mala

Husky Spitz (Unknown Type, Large)

Male, Young

Comox, BC

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

We are still getting to know this very loving, goofy boy. Mala loooves to "hug", snuggle and play with his squeaky toys. Given the chance he crawls right into a lap and could spend hours being pet.Mala's world has been very small so he will need the help of gentle, dedicated, dog savvy guardians to guide him and give him the consistent attention he's been lacking. Mala's lack of worldly experience causes him to be nervous of new things and people. He does not have much experience with things we may consider to be normal, everyday stimuli. Mala may have had some negative interactions with people in the past that causes him to be a little guarded, he is watchful of people's body language but is won over quickly with treats and a soft voice. Mala will need time and patience to work on his fears.Mala knows "sit" and "shake," although he is working on giving one paw at a time. Mala has been gaining weight and recovering from food insecurity so he can be quite enthusiastic about his meals and should continue with puzzle or slow feeders. As he is still anxious about getting enough to eat, and does not have much experience living indoors, his people will have to ensure there is nothing too easy to access on counters and garbage is tucked away. This history has caused some food resource guarding, but he continues to make improvement as he learns the food is readily available and people aren't trying to take it from him. Mala should be the only animal in the home but shows positive interest in other dogs.If you are interested in the adorable Mala, please submit an application below.https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: White Secondary Color: White Weight: 23.1 Age: 2yrs 8mths 3wks

Grizzly

Puggle

Male, Senior

Courtenay, BC

Size

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

Details

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

Story

Grizzly is a really good dog. We are rehoming him because we find we can no longer offer him the quality of life he deserves with our two young children. Grizz is 11 years old but still acts like a pup sometimes. He likes to play, go for short walks, and LOVES to eat. Grizz has some mild arthritis which limits the length of the walks he can take. He's limited to about 30 mins or less, but he is not currently on any medication. Grizz also loves the car, but you may not love taking him in the car because he howls like a banshee in excitement. Grizz is a wonderful and lovely dog that will be a positive addition to your home.
