Story
Meet Gemma!Gemma is a sweet, active little girl searching for a loving home where she can share plenty of cuddles. Once she gets to know you, she's incredibly affectionate and happiest when she's with her favorite people. Gemma prefers not to be left alone for long periods and would thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time. Gemma barks when left alone and isn't suited to homes that share walls with neighbors.Gemma walks nicely on leash and enjoys meeting new people. She is reactive toward other dogs and isn't a candidate for off-leash dog parks or having dog friends. However, she's a very smart girl and would likely show improvement with consistent, positive obedience training. Gemma is not comfortable living with cats or kids.If you'd like to know more about Gemma, please fill out an adoption application using the link below.https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 14.3 Age: 3yrs 10mths 3wks

Story
Max is a charming 7-year-old mix with the best of three breeds and a personality that's full of heart. Known for his adorable "wiggle butt," Max doesn't just wag his tail-he wags his whole body when he's happy (which is often when he sees his favorite people).He's deeply affectionate and thrives on human connection. Max can have some anxiety when left alone, so he'd do best in a home where someone is around more often, or where he can be supported with structure and reassurance.Max needs to be the only dog in the household, as he prefers to have all the love and attention to himself. That said, he's shown a sweet curiosity and gentle affection toward kittens, which might make him a good fit for a home with feline friends (with proper introductions, of course).Max is looking for a dedicated, dog-savvy adopter who understands that behind his big feelings is a big-hearted, loyal companion just waiting for the right person to love.Please submit an application through the link below for Mr. Max!https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Red Brown Weight: 26 Age: 7yrs 3mths 1wks

Story
Meet Bodie! Bodie is a young energetic dog that is ready for his loving forever home! Since he is still a puppy, a home that can provide him with lots of activity and enrichment will be important. He enjoys playing with toys, other dogs, and people. Bodie is very outgoing and friendly guy. Due to his long and curly coat, Bodie will need regular trips to the groomers to make sure he feels his best. Since he is a mixed breed dog, we can't guarantee that he is hypo-allergenic. Bodie is looking for a home that will help him as he continues to learn. Having not had an ideal start to his life, a home that will help him as he continues to learn basic manners can be a place for him to thrive in. A loving place that can provide Bodie with structure, patience, and positive reinforcement training would suit him. Bodie is in foster and not available for drop-in viewing. If Bodie sounds like the right fit for your home, please fill in an application below! https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Black Weight: 5.3 Age: 0yrs 11mths 2wks

Story
A bit about Obi- Likes meeting new people- Okay with children- he is selective about his dog friends, may be best as the only dog in the house- Not good with cats.Obi is a loyal, affectionate companion who loves being close to his people. He thrives on togetherness, enjoys learning new things, and is more than happy to follow you from room to room. He's also an A+ snuggler-his favorite moments are spent curled up under a shady tree while you read, watch the clouds, or enjoy a cozy nap together.Obi does like to use his voice and will bark (loudly!) when he hears or sees something interesting. Because of this, he hasn't been successful in homes where he shares a wall with neighbors. He knows some basic commands and is eager to please, though he is strong and sometimes uses his size to get his way. He's currently a bit on the plump side, so a healthy diet and some extra activity will do him well.With his strength, smarts, loyalty, and snuggly personality, Obi will make a wonderful partner for an active person or family who also appreciates slow, lazy afternoons together.Please fill out our pre-adoption questionnaire (linked below) if you would like to know more about Obihttps://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Black Weight: 54.1 Age: 5yrs 0mths 4wks

Bannock

Australian Kelpie Australian Shepherd

Female, Young
Kamloops, BC
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Bannock! She is a darling 2 year old Kelpie mix, searching for her forever home.This lovely young lady was brought to the shelter after some kind CN workers found her on the train tracks, in need of emergency, lifesaving surgery. She endured a tremendous amount of pain and fear, and still her incredibly precious personality remained constant. Bannock appears to be a mix of herding breeds such as kelpie and Australian shepherd. We aren't 100% sure on her breeds, but there is no doubt this girl is going to need LOTS to do once she has recovered from surgery. Intelligent, determined, and focused, these breeds love having jobs, games, and tricks to focus on and master. Once she's recovered, she'll need a home ready to give her both mental challenges and physical outlets, adapted thoughtfully for her special‑needs body. Mental and physical stimulation is extremely important for such highly driven dogs, and Bannock will need extra special attention, given she is still in an acute healing stage. She is currently awaiting a leg amputation and has very restricted mobility. Once she has surgery, and has gone through full recovery, because of her size she should be able to live as a fairly normal dog.Bannock would do best with guardians who are patient, consistent, and excited to help her navigate life as a high‑drive working breed with special needs. She would thrive in a calm, supportive environment with guardians committed to her long‑term mobility and wellbeing will help her continue to grow into the remarkable dog she already is.If you think Bannock could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below.https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/*TIP: We encourage all applicants to write a little bit about themselves when prompted.

Pit Bull Terrier

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Yahtzee, a six‑year‑old pitbull with a heart as solid as his chew toys. Found as a stray, his past is a bit of a mystery, but he's ready to roll the dice on a new beginning. Yahtzee is an affectionate, confident, people‑oriented dog who lights up for companionship. He's smart, eager to connect, and happiest when he's included in the daily rhythm of life. Yahtzee loves his toys... a lot! So he would be best suited to an adopter who enjoys providing structure, sturdy activities, and interactive play that will help him channel his energy into all the right moves. He would do best in a home that understands the value of routine, enrichment, and meaningful activity.Since Yahtzee was found as a stray, we are unsure as to how he would do with another canine companion or a feline friend, so adopters would have to be prepared for slow and controlled introductions to any new furry friends! Due to Yahtzee's size and bouts of excitability, he would be best suited in a home with no young children but may do well with dog savvy children who understand that he's a large, gentle guy who may not know his own strength at times! Pitbulls are strong, loyal, affectionate, and deeply connected companions who tend to bond deeply with their people. Yahtzee would do best with guardians with breed experience who are prepared to meet his physical and mental needs. At six, Yahtzee is beginning to show some age‑typical mild hip soreness, nothing unusual for a dog of his size, but he'll benefit from someone committed to keeping him comfortable and supported as he matures. A thoughtful exercise routine, a cozy place to rest, and regular check‑ins with a veterinarian will go a long way in helping him stay active and happy. In return, he offers loyalty, affection, and a quiet kind of companionship that feels like a winning hand every single day.If you think Yahtzee could be a good fit for you, please fill out an application below.https://spca.bc.ca/survey/dog-adoption-application-kamloops/*TIP: We encourage all applicants to write a little bit about themselves when prompted.
