Story
Meet Duke!Are you looking for your next adventure buddy? Look no further!Duke is a 4-year-old Akita with alot of energy and a love for adventure! He would be a great hiking companion and especially loves the long winter days, gallivanting in the snow!Duke is affectionate, playful and very obedient. In his previous home he learned sit, stay, wait, down, in, gentle and come. He is fully housetrained and loves a car ride!Duke loves to play, but can become possessive of certain toys and food so an experienced guardian, who has patience to work on resource guarding is a MUST. Duke can get excited and doesn't always realize his size, so he would do best in a home without children. He is good with other dogs but would prefer to be the only animal in the home.Duke is looking for a loving home where he can continue to thrive. If you're looking for a loyal, cheerful companion ready for his next chapter, Duke could be your perfect match.We welcome all applicants, though prior experience with Akitas or large dogs in general is considered a plus!Do you think you could be Duke's person? Here is how to find out:1) Visit our centre to meet him in person during adoption hours. Tuesday-Sunday, 12-3pm.2) 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.*Side note: the more you add to your application about you and what you are looking for in a canine companion, the better we can match animals with adopters!

Story
Hi… I’m Duri 🤍 Before I met kind people, I spent a long time on my own… without care, without warmth. I just endured each day the best I could. But things have changed now. I’ve been given a chance to start over— and I’m waiting for a family to share that new beginning with. Maybe… that could be you. People say I look strong and handsome. My thick fur, my clear eyes… sometimes I remind them of a brown husky. But what I really want you to see isn’t just how I look— It’s who I am. I like people. I really do. I’ll come up to you first, gently, hoping to connect. I enjoy being close, sharing quiet moments, feeling like I belong. I also get along well with other dogs. Being around friends feels natural to me, and I’m comfortable sharing space and energy with them. Inside me, I carry something special— the calm loyalty of an Akita, and the intelligence and quick learning of a Jindo. That means when I bond with you… it won’t be shallow. It will be deep. Steady. Unbreakable. But I’m still learning. Living in a home is new to me. Things like potty training, daily routines, and how to behave indoors—these are things you’ll need to teach me, step by step. Because I’m a strong and active dog, I’ll also need guidance on walks and basic manners. I want to do well—I just need someone to show me how. In the beginning, I might seem a little unsure. A new place, a new life… it can feel overwhelming. But if you stay patient, consistent, and kind with me, I will find my balance. I’m not a difficult dog— but I am a dog who needs understanding. Someone who won’t just “have” me, but will truly live with me. Teach me. Connect with me. If you can do that… I promise you something rare. A bond built on trust. A loyalty that doesn’t fade. A companion who stands by you, no matter what. I’ve already come so far from where I started. Now I just need a place to finally belong. No more loneliness. Just warmth… and you. Will you be my forever family? 🤍

Story
Meet June 💙 This 8-month-old, 40 lb Aussie/Akita/Cattle dog mix is a bright, bouncy girl with energy for days and love to spare. June adores other dogs and is always ready to make new canine friends. She's still figuring out the world, so she hasn't been socialized with kids or cats just yet. June is working hard on her house and leash manners and is doing great with routine and practice. She's crate trained and settles nicely there when she needs downtime. June is currently putting in the work with her leash training and is learning quickly, but she would benefit from a confident owner who can continue guiding her. She's smart, eager to please, and keen to learn, she just needs someone to keep showing her the way so she continues building good habits. After a good walk you'll be treated to her famous zoomies, plus some top-tier entertainment like tail chasing and her favorite hobby: relocating socks 🧦 Fetch? Yes please. Snacks? Absolutely. Couch cuddles? Her specialty. Because she's a smart, high-energy pup, June may need a little help learning how to self-settle when she gets overstimulated—but with guidance she's eager to please. Her only real complaint in life? Please don't blow in her face 😄 Everything else is wonderful. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate adventure buddy who will keep you laughing and then curl up beside you at the end of the day, June might be your girl ✨ June is one of our sponsor dogs for her medical expenses. https://pawsitforward.org/sponsor-a-dog/

We couldn't give up on him, so he was rescued just in time to give him a second chance at life. 3️⃣ Basic Information * With People: Is very shy and takes a long time to open up to new people. Needs a patient family who can wait for him to feel safe. * With Dogs: Gets along very well with his friends at our center. * With Cats: Tends to chase them, so caution is required. * Separation Anxiety: Unknown because he currently lives in a group setting at our center. * Potty Training: Unknown, but he currently prefers outdoor potty breaks. * Walks: Showed great walking skills during his time at the training center. * Hygiene: Was very well-behaved during grooming and hygiene care at the training center. * Because he is fearful, he may try to nip if forced into something.
