Story
Bear is a handsome, affectionate boy who forms deep bonds with his people and thrives on one‑on‑one attention. He loves being close to his humans, learning new things, and soaking up praise. With his sharp mind, eagerness to please, and strong food motivation, Bear is an incredibly trainable dog who already knows his commands well and enjoys showing them off.Bear is also a dog with some very specific needs, and the right home will make all the difference for him. He is highly selective about other dogs. While he can occasionally build a playful relationship with a very well‑matched canine friend, this is rare. More often, Bear becomes frustrated and reactive when he sees other dogs - becoming vocal, jumpy, hard to redirect, and sometimes mouthy. Because of this, staff have begun muzzle training. His future adopter should be prepared to continue this work. A muzzle will be an important tool for Bear during walks, vet visits, or any situation where he may encounter other dogs.Bear will do best with someone who has experience with reactive dogs and understands how to help him build calmness, focus, and confidence. He's a wonderful student, but he needs a handler who can guide him with patience, structure, and positive reinforcement - especially when his emotions run high.He also shows signs of separation anxiety, so a home with a flexible schedule would be ideal. Bear will need someone willing to gradually help him feel secure spending time alone, using gentle, consistent training to build his independence.In the right environment, one where he can be the only dog, enjoy routine, and feel supported! Bear has all the potential to be an incredible companion. He's loving, intelligent, goofy in the best ways, and deeply devoted to his people.Please note that all dog meet‑and‑greets are scheduled by appointment only. To request an appointment, please submit an online application. Our staff will contact shortlisted applicants directly to set something up.

Meet Gentleman!🤵This special man is looking for a home to call his own. Gentleman is just as his name suggests, he is a smart, distinguished boy with a big heart and lots of love to share.While we love him dearly, Gentleman has spent quite a bit of time with us here, and we would all love nothing more than for him to begin his next chapter and settle into his forever home.

With daily training sessions to perfect his manners, he has made wonderful progress. He can be unsure of new people, and his new family must be committed to continuing to support him in his training as he learns to navigate the world calmly and politely. The ideal adopter would be willing to come meet Gentleman a few times before he is ready to head off to his new life.Like many distinguished gentlemen, our Gentleman has quite the refined palate. Due to severe allergies, he must maintain a strict hypoallergenic diet to keep him looking and feeling his best. Additionally, he is on a daily allergy medication to keep him feeling good and prevent any allergy flare ups. Adopters must be prepared for the costs associated with these medical needs. If you think Gentleman sounds like the guy for you please fill out an application today!1.)

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.
