Story
Cloud | Male | 3 years old | Great Pyrenees Weight: Approx. 32kg Cloud is a stunning Great Pyrenees with a soft, fluffy double coat. True to his breed, also known as a Pyrenean Mountain Dog, Cloud has a gentle and cozy exterior with a strong and protective inner nature. He’s not just calm and friendly—his gentleness comes from a deep-rooted confidence, as he believes in protecting those around him. Cloud has a sweet, peaceful personality, but don’t let that fool you. Beneath his calm demeanor, he has a firm sense of responsibility and determination to protect his surroundings. Though he’s a bit shy, you’ll quickly sense his trust and strength. Cloud is a high-energy dog, so he would thrive in a home with a large yard. He loves being active, playing, and running around. Daily outdoor activity is essential to keep him happy and healthy. He’s playful and enjoys both eating and having fun, showcasing his cheerful and innocent side. Despite his past, where he was abandoned at a shelter, Cloud is quick to warm up to new people. While he hasn't had much basic training yet, Cloud is highly intelligent, and positive reinforcement, such as treats, helps him learn quickly. He may pull on the leash during walks out of curiosity, but he’s improving with practice and guidance. Cloud is also great with other dogs, including smaller ones. He’s big in size but still exhibits the endearing behaviors of a puppy, which make him even more lovable. Cloud would be best suited for someone who understands the Great Pyrenees breed or enjoys large dogs and is looking for a companion to enjoy daily outdoor activities with. If you're ready for a loyal, loving companion and are willing to provide training and structure, Cloud will be a lifelong friend, offering deep love and trust in return.

Story
Hello! My name is Liv, and I’m a gentle soul who was once just days away from euthanasia at a shelter. But I was given a second chance — and now, I’m learning what love truly means. 💛 At first, I can be shy around new people or big, unfamiliar places. I get a little scared, but once I realize I’m safe, I quietly come close and show my affection in the sweetest ways. Beneath my timid heart is a dog full of warmth, kindness, and love. I get along beautifully with other dogs. I often look to my dog friends for comfort, follow their lead, and enjoy playing and cuddling with them once we’re close. Because of that, I’d do well in a home with another friendly dog — but I could also be perfectly happy as an only pet, soaking up all your love just for myself. I’m gentle with children, too. Sometimes, I can be a little wary of unfamiliar men, but I’m never aggressive — just cautious. I’m the kind of dog who startles easily but never hurts anyone. In calm environments, I relax and show my quiet, loving personality. I enjoy walks, though sometimes I get a little excited and might pull on the leash or get curious about interesting smells (especially if there’s a cat nearby 🐾). Big signs or large objects can make me a bit nervous, but I’m fine with cars and motorcycles. After a nice walk, I love waiting patiently for my treat — my eyes will sparkle with anticipation! 🍪 I prefer doing my business outdoors, especially on soft grass. When I’m with another dog, I feel safe even when my human steps out — but if I’m left completely alone, I might bark for a bit. Still, I’m calm and quiet most of the time at home. I know basic commands like “sit,” “down,” and “paw,” and I’m very patient when asked to follow directions. Taking medicine isn’t my favorite thing, but if you hide it in boiled chicken, I’ll happily take it! At the vet, I get a little shaky, but I stay still and do my best — I really try to be brave. 🩷 I love curling up on the bed next to my person at night — that’s when I feel the safest and happiest. I also travel well in the car, especially if I have my own car seat to rest in. I’m looking for a calm, loving home — a family who will give me time to adjust and show me patience while I continue learning that the world is a safe place. Once I trust you, I’ll give you everything: my loyalty, my quiet love, and my heart that’s stronger than it looks. I was once abandoned, but this time, I’m hoping to find a home where I’ll never be left behind — a forever family who will teach me what it means to be loved for a lifetime. 💛

Story
I’m a small Jack Russell Terrier mix girl, weighing about 6kg. I may be tiny, but my heart is incredibly big. My sister and I were rescued after wandering the streets at a very young age. Even though life was tough in the beginning, I never let it take away my bright spirit or my warm, loving nature. I love other dogs and make friends easily. Meeting new furry buddies is one of my favorite things, and I’m always gentle and friendly. I adore people even more — if our eyes meet, my tail starts wagging before I can even think about it! I just can’t help wanting to be close to you. I’m also a great walking companion. I match your pace beautifully and enjoy taking in the world around me with calm curiosity. Walks with me are peaceful, happy moments. I’m still a puppy, so I’m learning my potty manners at home. But don’t worry — I’m smart, eager to please, and I pay close attention to my humans. With a bit of consistency and love, I’ll learn quickly. Above all, I’m a little girl who loves giving and receiving affection. My heart is warm, soft, and ready to belong to someone special. I’m waiting patiently — and hopefully — for my first and forever family. If you can give a small life like me a warm home and endless love, I promise to give you all of my heart in return. 💛 With love, Seri 🐶💕

Story
💛 Hi, I’m Choco! I was rescued from a greenhouse where many dogs like me were being raised to be sold to dog farms. Life there was scary — I was often hurt by the person who owned the place, and I learned to be afraid of people and new things. But now, I’m learning that gentle hands and kind voices exist… and I really want to trust again. At first, I might seem shy or even a little nervous, especially around new people or unfamiliar places. But if you give me time and patience, you’ll see my true self — a soft-hearted, affectionate pup who loves to stay close and show love in quiet, tender ways. 🌿 Health: I’m in good health overall! I’m scheduled for a dental scaling soon. I used to have some tear allergies, but I’m much better now thanks to my special allergy-friendly food. I’m not a picky eater at all — I enjoy my meals! 🐶 Personality & Friends: I enjoy my own space, especially my bed and food, so I’d probably do best as the only dog in the family. But I can get along fine with another calm and gentle friend if we’re introduced slowly. When I feel comfortable, I like to show affection by gently licking my friends. 💛 With People: I take my time to trust. I might be cautious around strangers, especially men, but once I know you’re kind, I’ll become loving, loyal, and very sweet. I won’t rush into cuddles, but if you sit quietly with me, I’ll come closer on my own — and once I do, I’ll melt into your hands. 🚶‍♀️ Walks & Everyday Life: I enjoy calm walks. Sometimes I get startled by loud noises like flapping banners or cars, but I don’t chase cats or birds — I just keep walking. I’m fine wearing a harness, and I don’t pull much once I feel safe. 🏠 Manners & Habits: I can go to the bathroom both indoors and outdoors. If there’s a pee pad available, I’ll use it when needed. I don’t bark much, I don’t have separation anxiety, and I sleep peacefully on my own bed at night. I also travel well in cars — no motion sickness for me! 🐾 My Dream: I’m a quiet soul who’s learning that love can be safe. I hope to find a family who will give me the time, patience, and gentle care I need to fully blossom. I may take a little while to trust, but once I do, I’ll love you with all my heart — forever. With love, Choco 🤎🐕‍🦺

Story
I’m Blue, and I’m a curious, bright-eyed Husky with a big heart and even bigger love for the world around me. Every walk feels like an adventure—every scent, every sound is something new to explore. I get so excited, like I’m discovering the world for the first time! When I meet people, I can’t help but walk right up and sniff their faces, just to say, “Hi! Who are you?” People always smile when I do that—maybe it’s the way I tilt my head or my wagging tail that makes them laugh. I get along pretty well with other dogs, too! I do sometimes forget how strong or energetic I can be, especially around smaller pups. I think I’m the same size as them, so I play a little rough without meaning to. If I’m with little friends, I’ll just need someone to help me play more gently. I'm learning! Oh—and being a Husky, I have that classic husky voice… yep, I howl sometimes. When I feel lonely or miss my people, I might sing a little to let you know. So I’d do best in a home where I’m not left alone too often. I really do love being near my humans. I’ve been through a tough start—abandoned alone in a basement—but I’ve never let that stop me from trusting or loving people. I still believe in the goodness of humans, and I’m ready to give all my love to the right family. If you're looking for a joyful, curious, and loyal companion who will fill your days with adventure and laughter, I’m your guy. Let’s discover the world together. With love, Blue 🐾

Story
🏠 Currently  in a Vancouver foster home Hi, I’m Tanya 🤍 Let me tell you my story as I wait for my forever family. I was rescued from a shelter where euthanasia was imminent. With only a short time left, a miracle happened—and I was given a second chance at life. The bright, affectionate dog you see today exists because of that precious second miracle. I’m a loving girl who truly enjoys being close to people. I’m curious, cheerful, and full of warmth. When I get excited, I have short bursts of playful “zoomies,” but overall I have a calm and well-balanced energy. I have a pretty regular potty routine—about three times a day (around 8 a.m., 3 p.m., and 7 p.m.). I can do both indoor and outdoor potty, and I usually use pads in my resting area. I’m not perfect yet, so a little continued potty training would help me shine even more. I eat twice a day and have been enjoying Royal Canin Medium kibble mixed with fresh Duet meals. I have a great appetite and love treats of all kinds! Because I do love food a bit too much, it’s best to keep human food safely out of reach. I’m very cooperative when it comes to grooming. I tolerate paw cleaning after walks, tooth brushing, baths, and even drying—none of them are my favorite, but I stay calm and patient. Nail trims have been done at the vet so far. I’m friendly and social with dogs of all sizes and get along well in group settings. On walks, I might pull a little if I see cats or big birds out of curiosity, but I haven’t shown any aggression toward cats. I bond deeply with my person and love staying close—I even prefer sleeping together. With strangers, I tend to warm up faster to women than men, but once I feel safe, my affection comes through. I walk nicely on leash with little pulling, though I sometimes circle around my person, so a shorter leash helps with control. I’m comfortable wearing both a collar and a harness. Stairs going down are still tricky for me, so I need to be carried, but going up is no problem at all. I love toys, especially squeaky ones—they’re my absolute favorite! I don’t have separation anxiety and can spend time alone calmly and confidently. I love human warmth. I understand the joy of living together. Once so close to the end, I’m now waiting for a family to share my whole life with. Will you be my forever family? 🐾
