Story
Viewable in Shelter: Yes, in dog kennels.***Meet Rocky!Rocky has had a tough start to life, surviving alone as a stray and living off garbage. A kindhearted person found him severely underweight and took him in, helping him recover and experience what a loving home could feel like. Unfortunately, Rocky wasn't getting along with her cats, so she reached out to us to help him continue his healing journey and find his forever family.Rocky is still underweight and on a refeeding plan. He's a classic Shepherd who bonds deeply with his chosen people. He's toy obsessed, especially anything with a squeaker, and loves leaning in for all the cuddles he can get. His favourite place is outdoors, and he's still learning to feel comfortable spending longer periods inside. He'd thrive in a home with plenty of outdoor access or an active person who loves spending time outside. Rocky would do best in a home without cats or small dogs, but gets along well with dogs his own size.Despite everything he's been through, Rocky is resilient, loving, and ready to find a family where he can finally feel safe and loved.Thank you for your interest in adopting!

Story
Viewable in Shelter: No, in fosterMeet Kiya!Kiya is a one in a million dog. She came to us very overweight, with joint and leg issues, but despite being in pain, she has remained one of the happiest and most affectionate dogs we have met. She truly is everyone's best friend.Kiya is a little fish who loves to swim. She cannot walk as much as she would like right now, and she has a hyperextended wrist that makes walking difficult. We are awaiting a supportive brace to help make walking easier and more comfortable for her.Kiya has no sense of personal space and loves to be right by your side. She must be the only pet in the home, with no cats or other dogs.This sweet senior girl went without proper care for far too long and deserves to spend her golden years surrounded by the love she so freely gives to everyone.***Thank you for your interest in adopting!

Story
🖤 Meet Sombra — The Thoughtful, Gentle Pup Ready for His Forever FamilySombra is part of a lively litter of “party pups” — playful, medium‑energy youngsters who love to run, explore, and enjoy yard time. Among them, Sombra is the most reserved. He goes a little slower with new people, taking his time to feel safe, but once he trusts you, he’s a sweet, steady companion.Born in March 2026, Sombra started life on the streets with his young mum, Sisi, until a kind stranger got the whole family safely into the SPCA PV sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta. His mum is a small Chihuahua cross, but the pups have already surpassed her in size. They’re expected to be 35–40 lbs full grown — a perfect medium size.Sombra looks to have a bit of lab mixed into his super‑mix breed, giving him a lovely blend of softness, intelligence, and charm.Fall in love fast with Sombra and his family here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DbI8BnRGJRk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D💛 A Puppy With Heart and PotentialSombra enjoys playtime with his dog pals in the yard and is learning about the world at a shelter pace.  He’s medium energy — playful and social with dogs, but calm and thoughtful with people.He also practises visiting cats so he can be ready for whatever loving home awaits him — especially if that home includes feline friends.✈️ Travel OptionsSombra is healthy and has flight options opening for BC and Alberta.He is available for foster, foster‑to‑adopt, and adoption — but most of all, Sombra is hoping for a forever home where he can feel safe, understood, and loved.📩 Interested in Sombra?Email pvcaadoptions@gmail.com for more information or an application.

Story
💙 Meet Levi — The Sweet, Bright Eyed Pup Hoping for His Forever Family Levi is one of our beautiful “K” litter pups — nine little ones who were dumped alongside their devoted mum, Nova, and thankfully rescued by SPCA PV sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta. His mum Nova is about 45 lbs, a mixed breed who looks shepherd heeler, and Levi is growing into his own handsome look with soft features, curiosity, and a gentle, thoughtful nature. See Levi’s family here: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcMllDbP5te/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&stkn=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D 💛 A Puppy With a Gentle Heart Shelter life means Levi hasn’t seen much of the world yet, but volunteers try to give him some experiences and love. He’s medium energy and a smart little one — the kind of pup who will thrive with patient guidance and a loving home. Levi would likely enjoy a yard to play and sunbathe and maybe even another friendly dog to help show him the ropes. He hopes for a family keen to help a young lad blossom. Like his siblings, Levi also practises visiting with cats and is ready for a home that might include feline friends. ✈️ Travel Options Levi and his siblings have flight options for BC and Alberta opening up. He is available for foster, foster to adopt, and adoption — but most of all, Levi is hoping for a forever home where he can grow, learn, and finally feel safe and loved. 📩 Interested in Levi?
