Story
Zeus is a sweet, smart, and super cuddly pup with a big heart and even bigger personality! This handsome lil' guy loves to snuggle up at home just as much as he loves to run and play at the dog park. He’s gentle, friendly, and great with people, kids, and other dogs. Zeus is the perfect mix of calm and playful; happy to chill by your side, but always ready for an adventure venture when it’s time for fun. We’re not sure how he feels about cats yet, but he’s proven to be kind and easygoing in every other way. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will make you laugh and melt your heart, Zeus might just be your guy!

Story
I bet the majority of us have always wanted a Steve in our life. And that Steve is most likely a super cool guy who you just want to be around because he emits goodness no matter the time of day. Steve the dog is no different than the Steve you know. He is a super cool guy, despite the past that should've been kinder to him. Steve is a loving, big soft fluff, who unlike many dogs of his breed, does not vocalize a lot. Steve is a smart, active, well-trained local dog that fell upon hard times and that resulted in a lot of fear and confusion. He was often tied with a short chain to a cinder block and left outside. The last time he had been outside for a walk was unknown. His world had become very very very small and Steve shut down. This naturally resulted in resource guarding and reactivity - which culminated in a bite when someone tried to remove food in a bowl from near him. The owners tried to surrender him to various groups but no one wanted him as a result of the bite and the only offer was euthanasia. Thankfully we at Mountainside gave Steve a chance to show us his true colors. We quickly saw that he was loving - but so scared and confused. Through months of training, exercise and monitored socialization, Steve has started to make friends and is becoming more himself as each day goes by. He has had the wonderful fortune of being in foster care and then being very loved by our boarding facility partners that have given him the incredible opportunity to meet new dogs and learn how to be a dog again. Steve is working hard on making progress through some of his issues and though he has come so far, he will need his person to continue to help him along his journey. At this time we think the best fit would be an adult only family that is home more often than not. He has lived with other dogs in the past but isn't ready for that yet. No cats as well. Steve is a stunning, kind boy who would be a perfect match for someone who is patient, and willing to put in the work to give him the best kind of life. At the end of the day, he's just Steve, a super cool guy, who deserves a super cool life.

Story
Meet Duke, the Gentle Giant with a Lap-Dog Heart!Duke is a handsome 4-year-old coonhound mix looking for a family to call his own. He may be a little shy when you first meet him, but give him a bit of patience and kindness and you will discover one of the sweetest, most affectionate companions around.Like any good coonhound, Duke has a world-class nose and a true passion for sniffing. A walk with Duke is less of a straight line and more of a slow, curious adventure as he investigates every interesting scent along the way. He would love a home that enjoys scent games, enrichment activities, and plenty of outdoor exploring. Long hikes, forest trails, and neighborhood strolls where he can follow his nose would make Duke very happy.Duke is currently working on his leash manners and remembering that his big paws belong on the ground. In his mind, however, he is absolutely a lap dog. Once he feels safe, he will lean his whole gentle self into you for cuddles. If you stop petting him too soon, he will politely nudge you with his snout." In the mornings, he may greet you with a stuffed toy when he is feeling extra excited to start the day. He already knows cues like sit and shake a paw, and he responds wonderfully to positive reinforcement.Duke is generally a quiet fellow, though he may occasionally whine when he wants something. He can feel a little anxious when left alone, so he will do best with an adopter who can help him build confidence and learn that alone time is safe. He is also still getting used to city life and may feel a bit unsure around loud or unfamiliar noises.Duke would be happiest as the only pet in the home, where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. If you are looking for a sweet, slightly goofy, oversized best friend who will happily lean on you, follow his nose on adventures, and remind you to keep the pets coming, Duke might just be your perfect match.Come meet sweet Duke at the West Vancouver branch! Adoption hours are 12 to 3 pm, Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays). Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Black Weight: 37.7 Age: 4yrs 0mths 3wks

Story
Meet Murdock!Murdock is a playful and affectionate pup with a big heart and an even bigger personality. He came into the care of the BC SPCA recently when his previous guardian could no longer care for him.We feel that Murdoch would do best as the only pet in the home so he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. Murdock is a weary dog who can be hesitant with new people, and he will thrive with an adopter who can help him build confidence and feel more comfortable around strangers. He is still learning his leash manners and working on keeping all four paws on the ground. Luckily, he is very treat motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. After a nice long walk, Murdock loves nothing more than curling up with his people for a cozy snuggle. If you are looking for a loyal companion, Murdock might be the perfect match. Come meet sweet Murdoch at the West Vancouver branch! Adoption hours are 12-3 pm, Tuesday through Sunday (closed Mondays).Please note: Murdoch will be neutered on March 12th, so we are seeking a local adopter at this time who can take him to/from this appointment. Primary Color: Black Weight: 40.7 Age: 1yrs 6mths 1wks

Story
Meet Molly!Molly is a playful and fun-loving gal! She's a silly girl and enjoys going to the bathroom with both her hind legs on a rock. Molly is sweet and excitable and is ready to enrich your life. She would do best with an owner that is comfortable training, socializing, and desensitizing her to the world. She knows how to sit and is eager to learn, but would benefit from continued training especially in regards to loose leash walking, as she can be a but of an excitable puller.Molly came to us as a stray and loves to play with other dogs but has a hard time knowing when to stop. Because of this, we think she will do best in a home as the only dog. As an undocked boxer, she has developed happy tail, which can be a painful condition, affecting the tail tip. Consistent monitoring and veterinary check ups will be required in order to keep this girl comfortable. We recommend, calm introductions and no rough housing with her in order to keep the tail from continuously splitting.Molly will be spayed on the North Shore and local adopters will be prioritized.If you are interested in adopting Molly, you are welcome to submit an online application or come visit her in-person from 12-3 Tuesday through Sunday! Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 26.5 Age: 1yrs 6mths 2wks
