Story
Hi there, my name is Zuma, and I'm the sweetest dog you'll ever meet! I was abandoned in a industrial area along with 4 other pups. We had no food or water and were so scared. We were so happy to be rescued, we couldn't stop jumping around and licking our rescuer! I never thought I'd find a loving home. But here I am, hoping to find my furever family in Canada! I'm a fast learner, and I've already mastered some basic commands. But there's always room for more learning, and I'm ready to learn whatever my new family wants to teach me. I'm very friendly with strangers and visitors, and I never show any aggression towards them. In fact, I'm a big fan of belly rubs and treats, and I'll do just about anything for them! I love spending time outdoors and enjoying the fresh air. I could spend hours laying on the grass, chewing on my favourite bone. But what I love most is being with other dogs and people. I'm a social butterfly and kennel life is not the best for me. Although I'm crate trained, I'd benefit from a home that always has time and love for me. My fur is soft and fluffy, and my big brown eyes will melt your heart. But it's not just about looks for me - I've got a heart full of love to give, and I can't wait to find my fouever family to share it with. I promise to be your faithful friend and loyal companion, and I'll always be there for you through thick and thin. Zuma is in Kuwait but ready to travel once adopted!

Story
Estrella is a Shepherd x cattle dog cross weighing 45 lbs. Estrella and her litter of 5 were found near the SPCA Puerto Vallarta sanctuary. Their mum Keisha was tied up and left blind after surviving being poisoned. The puppies were in very poor condition suffering from malnourishment at such a young age. Estrella spent her early life in the SPCA PV sanctuary in Mexico. On walks she would always check that her blind mum was ok and would guide her along. Estrella is now in foster in Kelowna where she is living (and cuddling) with two other dogs. She can be timid to start with new dogs and cats, but really loves to walk with other dogs and is playful. She enjoys the beach, swimming and playing frisbee. She was the calmest of her litter. Estrella would like a home with a yard and would surely love another dog in the home. Estrella has been kind with people. She's a stunning dog with a kind heart. If you think you might be a good fit for Estrella please email pvcaadoptions@gmail.com and tell us a little bit about yourself, and we can send you an application, or you can find our online application here: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw Adoption fee $550.00CDN

Story
Reese is as sweet as everyone's favourite chocolate, so why not your new favourite dog?She is a fun, loving young lady looking for an experienced home. Reese would benefit from someone who can work on her confidence as she can be quite anxious, and timid with new things. With slow introductions to new things and new people, Reese will hopefully gain the confidence she needs to become the dog of your dreams! Reese would do best in a breed-experienced home who can help her work on her basic manners, jumping, walking well on a leash, and proper introductions to new dogs. She's very food motivated, so positive reinforcement training would be the best for her ongoing training! Reese has shown dog/cat reactivity and would do best as the only pet in the home. This bright, friendly girl greets staff with a wagging tail every day, and she enjoys playing with her toys and running in the yard. Do you think you could be Reese's person? Here are some ways to find out:1. Visit our centre to meet her during viewing hours at 3202 Norland Ave, learn more about her ideal match and apply to adopt in person; or2. Submit an online application adopt.spca.bc.ca and staff will contact the first suitable adopter to set-up a visit! Kindly note that due to the high number of applications and the availability of walk-in adoptions, an online applicant would have to be available to come in for a meet within 24 hrs.Please note our adoption/viewing hours 1-5pm Monday to Wednesday and Friday.

✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Danpoong❣️ She gave birth to five puppies in cold winter. Unlike pictures, Danpoon is much smaller than expected with lovely jaw line🤭 She has beautiful maple mark on her forehead which makes her even cuter 🍂🍁 (Danpoong 단풍 means maple in Korean) *Separation anxiety: Gets a bit upset when family members leave but comfortably rests on a cushion until they return. *House training: Prefers outdoors, but is 100% effective with pads even indoors! 💟 Personality and Traits: *Keywords: #ILikeFamily #ILikeWalking #Smart *Energy Level (1~10): Lv. 5 *Danpung has good manners when greeted by other dogs but prefers to observe from afar during walks. *Not overly interested in strangers, but quietly approaches those she wants to get close to, showing a gentle and curious nature. *Checks on her family by going to their room, wagging her tail as if ensuring they're okay. *Well-behaved when receiving treats—no need to worry about snatching. *While not reactive to strangers during walks, can be wary of loud noises and large objects. *Enjoys being leashed for walks, moving well without much tugging. *Familiar with getting dressed for walks and stays still for post-walk foot wiping. *Dislikes baths but handles them well, becoming excited and playful afterward. *Might get car sick on longer rides. *Moderate shedding. *Impressive repertoire of skills: “Sit,” “Wait,” “Hand,” and “Touch,” with additional commands like ‘back’ and ‘please’ learned quickly.

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Kuku🩵 On a cold winter night, Danpoong gave birth to 5 puppies at Korean city shelter. She and her pups got severe scabies prompting urgent rescue to Adogs center. Their mother Danpoong took great care of her puppies, and the pups were chubby and healthy. His round eyes and long pointy ears are so lovely! He's such a cute little puppy with an adorable round mouth 😍 *Separation anxiety: None! *Potty-training: Prefers outdoor potty, 60% aim on pad. He may make mistakes in a new environment! 💟 Personality / Characteristics *Keywords: #gentle, #lovepeople, #timid *Energy Level (1~10): Lv. 6 *He is a very social, gentle pup.😊 Can be timid but adapts to new environment pretty quickly! Can greet one dog at a time slowly but is still slightly scared to visit dog café where he will see many dogs. *Kuku really loves people and greets them by giving kisses! His tail wags like a helicopter! May take some time to adapt to a new person he met for a first time. *Kuku turned to be more outgoing recently! In familiar places, he hops and jumps around. *Is still scared of unfamiliar places, he is getting used to new foster home. Once he becomes more familiar, he becomes lively right away! *Is fearful of doorbell sounds or strange sounds. This should get better through desensitization training! *He used to nibble from teething but got all better through training! *When Kuku looks at the mirror trying to dual with his self-reflection or hearing a sudden noise, he can bark a little bit but doesn’t bark too much. *Due to his weekly medicated bath, Kuku doesn’t prefer bathing….😢He is fearful of nail clipping too. When his fear level is at its peak he can become aggressive. *He is a good boy with good mannered walking! Of course, he doesn’t pull his leash and can stop and wait when his walker stops or waits at a road signal. He may get tense from fear when a car or person goes by. *He has a little carsickness, especially from long car rides. *Can have some shedding! *Mastered Commands: "Sit, paw, lie down, nose" He can learn quickly by teaching him just once👍 *Favorites: Plush puppy toys, squeaky toys, trests, people, wood branch

Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Nunu🩵 He was rescued from dog meat farm where they illegally slaughtered dogs for 14 years. Nunu looks very handsome and has dark eyelines who resembles wolves, and because his eyes look extremely charming, we have named him Nunu(Eun Woo)🥰 (Cha Eun Woo is a very good looking, handsome Korean actor). Nunu has an outgoing, energetic personality who gets along well with both human and other doggy friends and gets praised in any places.🐶 *Separation anxiety: He can whimper when his foster mom and dad leave together, but when they leave separately in 30 seconds to 1 minute apart, he doesn’t whimper and takes a rest. *Potty training: Housebroken 99.9%, pees on pad when he can’t wait. *More interested in people than doggy friends, and more interested in human adults than children! He likes to act cute and be a lovebug to even human strangers.🐕 *Gets along well with puppy friends, likes to play with small sized dogs and can be very sweet to puppies. *Likes to greet people outside but can be shy to visitors coming to his foster’s home and doesn’t go near to visitors. *Meeting men over 50 years old is scary so he growls in a low voice and tries to run away but no nipping. When meeting people outside, he walks good and doesn’t like someone to pet him but still accepts it. *Interested in cats so he approaches them first. If you say “No”, then he comes back. *Likes to go another place after his walking training is done but once his leash gets pulled, then he follows the foster right away. *Will whimper if he wants something, but he gives up quickly and stops making a whimpering sound. If you say “No”, he stops right away. *He doesn’t cause accidents or no indoor marking!😊 💙 Nunu’s foster Instagram : @lovelyari_adogs_eunwo
