Story
MARVEL IS NOT IN OUR CENTRE - PLEASE SEND IN AN APPLICATION IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. Due to the influx of applications - we will ONLY call back the approved applications for more information. Thanks! Marvel is an affectionate, people-loving girl. From day one, she's shown just how deeply she bonds with her humans, she's a total love who wants nothing more than to be close to her people and feel secure.She enjoys playing with other dogs and can have dog friends, especially playful ones, but may be happiest as an only dog or with a dog-savvy companion who respects boundaries around food, toys, and attention.One thing to know about Marvel is that she experiences separation anxiety. When left alone, she can become worried, so she'll need a patient, understanding home committed to helping her feel safe. Short, structured absences, consistency, and continued training are already helping her succeed in foster care. Marvel is not well suited to condo or apartment living and would do best in a home where her people can be mindful of her needs and give her the time and support she deserves. In return, she offers endless affection, loyalty, and a deep connection to her humans, she's the kind of dog who truly wants to be part of your world.Marvel is still settling in, and we're learning more about her every day, but one thing is already clear: she is a wonderful, loving dog who will shine in the right home.Bonus fun fact: Marvel has discovered the joy of her very own "emotional-support fake human," which she proudly lounges on, proof that she has both a big heart and a great sense of humor💕 Primary Color: White Weight: 4.5 Age: 4yrs 6mths 1wks

Story
Currently in a Vancouver foster home Hello… my name is Hari. I’m a 5-year-old Maltese mix girl, about 6kg, and for the first time in my life… I’m learning what it means to live for myself. For many years, my whole world was a tiny metal cage. No sunlight. No soft voice calling my name with love. Only the sound of humans demanding one thing from me over and over—to be a mother, again and again, even though I never got to hold or keep any of my babies. Whenever my puppies were taken from me, I tried to chew through the bars to reach them. My teeth became worn down from trying so hard… trying to find them, trying not to give up. I cried quietly and waited, hoping someone would finally come for me. One day, someone did. I was rescued—saved from that place—and for the very first time, I was given a chance to live a life that belongs to me. A life where I never have to breed again. A life where nothing precious is taken away from me anymore. I’m a very calm, very gentle girl. I hardly ever bark. And when I see people, fear isn’t the first thing I feel—joy is. I walk toward you slowly, shyly, but with a little wagging tail… hoping you’ll notice me. Hoping you’ll love me. But everything outside that cage is new to me. Home life, walks, daily routines, learning where to go potty… I’m five years old, but in many ways, I’m just beginning. I will need someone patient, someone kind, who can teach me what every dog should’ve known from the start—that I’m safe, that I’m wanted, and that love doesn’t disappear. I love people more than anything. I feel most at peace when I’m beside a human. If the house is empty for too long, I might become anxious… not because I’m difficult, but because I spent so many years wondering if anyone would ever stay. I’m learning that family means “forever,” and I hope you can show me what that feels like. I don’t want to be a tool anymore. I want to be a family member. I want to spend the rest of my life giving and receiving love—real love, the kind that stays. I’m searching for someone who will become my very first true family. Someone who will fill the years I have left with warmth, safety, and memories I’ve never been allowed to have. If you choose me… I promise I will give you every bit of my heart. With hope, Hari 🤍🐾
