Story

Young Kia, born May 2025 weighs 25 pounds and likely will be a medium sized dog. Sadly despite her young age, she did not have an easy start. Very young she was dumped, and taken in by nearby residents – but they also didn’t care for her – leaving her full of fleas and ticks. Our sister sanctuary the SPCA PV got word that she was in need and managed to fit her into the shelter. Kia is partier at play time, especially fun with bigger dogs as she has a - rough and tumble play style and very fun to watch! But she’d be just as happy to be your solo adventure girl. Kia thrives on affection and is so excited when guests come to the shelter. She was tested with cats and wasn’t afraid, but also a bit over zealous, so might be too much of a party for many cats. She is warm and bubby, and looking for the affection of a real home. She’s got far too much love and life to be living in a shelter, with only brief snippets of one on one love. In her brief stay in a home she was ok alone, loved to play, and didn’t chew things. Kia is now healthy and vaccinated and is looking for a real family to call her own.

Story

Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷♡ 🐶✨ Meet Sinbi – The Gentle and Loving Jindo Mix with a Mother’s Heart 💕 🐾 Name: Sinbi 🎂 Age: 2 years 🚺 Gender: Female (Spayed) ⚖️ Weight: 11.5 kg (≈25 lbs) 🐕 Breed: Jindo Mix 🎨 Color: Cream White 💉 Health: Fully vaccinated / Spayed / Healthy 💗 Personality & Charm Sinbi is a warmhearted and affectionate girl who always knows how to make others feel comfortable. She loves people — especially younger adults — and quickly bonds even with strangers after a few treats. 🍪 When she’s happy, she wiggles her whole body and rolls over for belly rubs! 💞 She’s gentle and considerate toward other dogs, often giving up her spot or toy for them. She’s the type of dog who brings calm energy and kindness wherever she goes. 🌷 Very curious but gentle. If a cat swats at her, she immediately backs off and pretends nothing happened. 😄 🏡 Training & Habits 🚽 Potty: Both indoor (artificial grass on balcony) and outdoor trained 🧺 Crate: Learns well! Feels uneasy when the door is closed but settles down soon and naps quietly. ⚡ Energy Level: Moderate indoors / Playful when with dog friends 🤲 Handling: Loves being touched and petted 🚗 Car rides: Enjoys going out but may drool slightly — rests her chin by the window for fresh air 💬 Barking: Rare, only in response to unusual sounds 🐾 Separation: No anxiety, prefers sleeping in the same room as her person 💔 Her Rescue Story Sinbi was rescued from Gokseong Shelter with her three puppies. After two other mother dogs passed away there, Sinbi took in seven orphaned pups as her own, nursing and protecting them all until they were safe. 🥺 When her puppies were weaned, Sinbi herself was placed on the euthanasia list — but rescuers couldn’t leave behind this brave and gentle mom, so she and all her babies were saved together. 💕 🌼 Sinbi’s Ideal Family Sinbi would be perfect for a loving family who values calm companionship and gentle affection. She’s social, loyal, and incredibly nurturing — a true sweetheart with a heart of gold. If you’re looking for a dog who will quietly stay by your side and love you endlessly, Sinbi is waiting for you. 💖

Nube

Labrador Retriever

Female, 4 yrs 6 mos

Vancouver, BC

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Nube who is looking for a home. Nube is a 4.5 year old mixed breed, full grown at a perfect 45 lbs. We think she may be a lab cross, with a gorgeous white coat, and beautiful markings to round out her unique look. She shares space with other dogs and enjoys playtime in the yard with them. Nube is friendly and affectionate with shelter visitors with a lovely disposition. She is medium energy - with enough energy to keep up, but would also be grateful for some chill time to make up for missed cuddles. Mostly she would love her very own family. Nube hasn't been tested extensively with cats. She sees them without reacting, but for now, we will seek a home without cats to be sure. While Nube is lovely with people, she's not been specifically tested with kids. Nube is spayed and vaccinated. She is missing some of her front teeth - likely a result of escaping shackles or surviving on street scraps. If you think you might be a fit for this beauty, as her chance at a forever home, or as a foster along the way, she'd love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com

Story

Born June 2025, Berna and her siblings were puppies on the street far too young. Thankfully a kind stranger took them in for a few weeks while they waited for space to open up at the SPCA PV sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta. While we’re so happy she’s off the street, she belongs in a home with a family who loves her, Berna is the sleek lean black pup in the litter. We think she’ll grow to about 30 lbs full grown. She is a mixed breed which may include terrier and pointer, but really she’s her own unique special girl. Berna is curious about cats, and wags her tail when she visits them. If you think you might be a good fit for this little star, either as her happy ever after, or as a foster along the way, we’d love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com.

Born June 2025, Pimienta and her siblings were puppies on the street far too young. Thankfully a kind stranger took them in for a few weeks while they waited for space to open up at the SPCA PV sanctuary in Puerto Vallarta. While we’re so happy she’s off the street, she belongs in a home with a family who loves her. We think she’ll grow to about 30 lbs full grown. She is a mixed breed which may include terrier and pointer. She has a beautiful coat with gorgeous markings, highlighting her unique special breed of Mexican princess. Pimienta passed her cat test – she was curious and cautious. As Pimienta has spent her early life in sanctuary she prefers walking with other dogs and might like a dog companion to show her the way. If you think you might be a good fit for this gorgeous girl, either as her happy ever after, or as a foster along the way, we’d love to hear from you at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com.
