Skona

Dutch Shepherd Husky

Female, 5 yrs

Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Breed: Dutch Shep X Age: 4 year Weight: 46 lbs Housing: Detached home, townhome or apartment Health Status: Spayed, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped, has arthritis in left front foot but no treatment needed. Skona is a lovely and gentle girl with a reserved nature. She can be shy at first, but with a little time and reassurance she opens up beautifully. Once she trusts you, Skona shines and she brightens in the company of her favorite people, loves gentle affection, and happily plays fetch. Skona tends to be hesitant when meeting new people while in her kennel, but she shows much better on walks or in the exercise yard, where she feels more relaxed and confident. She has a balanced energy level: enough stamina for walks and outdoor adventures, but also content to curl up for a quiet day at home. With other dogs, Skona has been okay with most at the shelter, though she has a few she does not get along with. She would benefit from being a solo dog but could maybe have dog friends. She has not yet been cat tested, but staff will be working to complete that. Training Needed Skona doesn’t need extensive or advanced training—what she needs most is patience, consistency, and gentle reassurance. Building trust at her pace will help her continue to gain confidence. Slow introductions to new people and animals are important. Continued socialization, obedience refreshers, and positive reinforcement will help her settle into her new life and strengthen her bond with her adopter. Ideal Home Skona will thrive in a calmer household that respects her sensitive nature. A home with no young children—or one with older, quiet, respectful teens—would be the best match for her, as loud noises and sudden activity can be overwhelming. If there is another dog in the home, they should be well-matched in energy and temperament, and a meet-and-greet at the shelter is recommended to ensure compatibility. Skona will need a family willing to give her time to decompress, settle in, and grow comfortable at her own pace. In return, Skona offers loyalty, sweetness, and a “go with the flow” attitude—whether you’re taking a peaceful hike or enjoying a cozy day indoors, she’ll be happy simply being included. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ready to Apply?

Story
Meet Apolo – The Loyal, Gentle Shepherd Mix Looking for His Forever Home! Apolo is a 2-year-old Dutch Shepherd mix weighing about 50 lbs. He’s currently being fostered in Mission, and meet-and-greets can be arranged for families who’d love to get to know this wonderful boy. Apolo was found wandering the streets of Guadalajara, Mexico when he was just a young pup. Trying to survive on his own, Apolo was scooped up by our rescue partners and taken into their care. In July, he flew to BC in search of his happily ever after! Personality & Temperament: Apolo is incredibly loving, loyal, and affectionate. He enjoys relaxing beside his people, happily greets them with a signature “hug” when they return home, and loves showing his playful side with games of catch, chewing sticks, or interacting with toys. He has also been gentle and kind with children he’s met. Training & Home Life: House trained: Mostly, with just a couple of “excited accidents” that improve with reminders. Sleeping routine: He has a room with a comfy bed and toys, but likes to snooze near his humans when they’re home. He occasionally wakes briefly at night for food or water, then quickly settles back down. Separation: No anxiety—he does very well when left alone. Commands: He already knows sit and stay and politely waits for permission before taking food. He’s very responsive to treat-based training. Leash & Outdoor Adventures: Apolo would be a great match for someone who loves outdoor adventures! Off-leash, Apolo is fantastic—sticking close and checking in often. He very much enjoys his off-leash time, running around and chasing his ball. Apolo is still building confidence on leash. He may pull, get jumpy with loud noises, or freeze in large crowds. With gentle redirection and affection, he settles down, but an escape-proof harness is recommended to keep him secure. Other Pets & Socialization: Dogs: Friendly and social—he enjoys play if another dog invites it. Apolo would do great in a home with or without a fellow dog to romp and play with. Cats: Very curious about his foster’s cat, sometimes a little too forward, so supervised introductions and managed spaces work best. However, no aggression with cats. People: He warms up quickly and shows his sweet, respectful nature. Why You’ll Love Him: Apolo is the kind of dog who will be your best friend and playmate. He has the perfect mix of fun, affection, and respect. He’s also been wonderful with children, always gentle and kind during interactions. With ongoing guidance on the leash and patience as he builds confidence in noisy settings, Apolo will thrive and bring so much joy to his forever family. Location: Fostered in Mission Age: 2 years Weight: 50 lbs Breed: Dutch Shepherd mix If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s as loving as he is playful, Apolo is waiting to meet you! VETTING: Fully vaccinated Neutered Dewormed SNAP 4Dx negative (Heartworm, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma) Flea/tick/heartworm prevention No known medical issues or injuries PLEASE NOTE: Apolo is currently fostered in the Mission. Meet and greets can be arranged! ##2219482##

German Shepherd Dog

Female, Adult
Vancouver, BC
Size

Story
Dove is a 4-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix with a very soft, sensitive soul. She is quite shy and uncertain in new situations and is very much a work in progress. When she feels overwhelmed, Dove tends to cower and looks to her people for comfort and reassurance. With a gentle, patient approach, she does allow affection and finds comfort in calm, quiet interactions. Ideal Home Dove will need a very understanding adopter who recognizes that she is a special-needs dog and is committed to helping her feel safe in the world. She requires a calm, predictable home where her world can be kept small at first, with new experiences introduced slowly and thoughtfully. A confident, friendly dog in the home would be a big benefit for Dove, as she gains reassurance and confidence from other dogs. That said, we are open to applications from homes without another dog, as long as the adopter understands that her training and confidence-building may take more time and patience. Dove will not be placed with young children, older teenagers may be fine but within a quiet household. Because fearful dogs can panic and bolt when uncertain, Dove will need an adopter who is diligent about safety, secure doors and fences, and proper leash management at all times. Training Dove will need continued confidence-building through positive reinforcement, gentle encouragement, and consistent routines. Dove is treat-motivated and enjoys working for food, which will be a great tool for building trust and confidence. Her gentle nature and soulful eyes make her incredibly endearing to those who take the time to get to know her. She will benefit from: Positive, reward-based training Patience and reassurance during new experiences Slow introductions to new people, places, and routines Ongoing confidence-building exercises Dove has not yet been cat tested; we will update her profile as we learn more. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ready to Apply? If you would like to meet Dove, please download an application from our website at: vancouver.ca/adoption-form Then, email your complete application to: animal.shelter@vancouver.ca If your application is approved, we will contact you to arrange a meet and greet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- All adult dogs at Animal Services have veterinary health checks, and are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and defleaed (if necessary) before going to their new homes. Children: Age+16 Cats: Unknown Dogs: Yes Training Needs: Confidence Building Adoption Fee: $114 due to special needs If you live in the City of Vancouver, you will also need to purchase a dog licence.

Story
*Currently fostered in Houston Texas, available for out of state adoptions via rescue transportation. Video meet and greet available prior to commitment* This dog is a collaborative effort between Moka's Mission and Houston Chow Chow Connection. Mocha is a fluffy mixed pup just eager to find her new lease in life. She was rescued from a kill shelter in Texas just moments before being euthanized. She is believed to be around 4 years old, and based on behaviors definitely has GSD, Chow Chow, and even possibly husky mixed in her as well. Current weight around 65, 70 lbs. Mocha is a smiling, eager to please, extremely intelligent pup who clearly has been desperate for reaching a potential that was never offered to her prior. She loves to play with toys now, ( was unfamiliar with on arrival) and can be quirky, and vocal during her playful bouts. A game of tug which result in some head pats is her favorite. She also is very smart, and when given attention and motivation is quick to learn. She already knows several basic commands including sit, shake, kennel, wait, settle, and leave it. She is extremely versatile and once she trusts you, will give you her best. If you want to go hiking or exercise, she is all about it. If you want a pup to relax in the home and enjoy a movie day, she is ready! She loves to curl up on the couch or at your feet when it's time to settle down, but when it's time to go she is the first one to be there and ready for you. She also loves to keep you company while you do the most menial house chore's such as laundry or dishes. Mocha clearly was kept away from other dogs and animals when she was owned previously, so we do think she'd be best as an only pup. Proper continued socialization training would be required in order for her to eventually be able to share space with other dogs, but she would need to be socialized as an only dog first before considering adding another in. She clearly has a desire to want to know other dogs and can walk by them and flirt while on leash just fine during walks. However, she hasn't had enough time and proper playmates to engage in playtime at present without being rough. Unfortunately, she is not ok with cats, which is to be expected of the breeds she possesses. Mocha is fully vetted meaning she is up to date on vaccinations, spayed, microchipped and on monthly prevention for flea, tick, and heartworm. Her adoption fee and transport is dependent on services used. For more information on Mocha, please contact us at MokasMission@Gmail.com, or to apply for adoption please fill out an application here: https://form.jotform.com/41173109602142
