Story
✅Currently located in South Korea✅️ 💟Available to fly to Vancouver & Toronto💟 Meet Joy🩷 Joy is the sweetest pup! She is gentle and adorable and steals everyone’s heart. * Toward People: Loves everyone regardless of age or gender! Is a charming sweetheart who wags her tail to greet even strangers. Keeps porking her head in to be petted because she loves to be caressed. Is so gentle that she gets startled and immediately takes a hand out that accidentally ends up in her mouth when she is playing. * Toward Dogs: Gets along well with her best friend Mansoo #AdogsMansoo, with whom she shares kennel. Greets other dogs nicely whom she encounters while out for walks. However, because she tends to play a bit rough, it is important to keep an eye on her when she meets other dogs in an off-leash area. * Separation Anxiety: Is unknown since she is staying in group at the Adogs Center. * Potty Training: Uses outdoor potty in the Cener. *Hygiene: Behaves well during baths. * Walks: Is adept at walking side by side with a walker, without pulling on the leash. 💗 * Car sickness: None. 💌Special Note💌 * Mastered commands like "sit" and "shake hands"!

These pups are in Vancouver, British Columbia too!

Story
Palomo, born April 2023 is looking for a home. He is a husky mix and expected to grow to about 55 -60 lbs. His mum and littermates were often seen wandering in the area of the SPCA PV sanctuary and staff and volunteers saw them in deteriorating condition due to a diet heavy on garbage and took them in to give them the care they needed. Palomo was in the poorest health and would not have made it had the shelter not intervened. Unfortunately his shelter also recently was hit with a hurricane, so he'd really love a happy break with a real family to love him. Palomo is an energetic boy, who is house trained. His time in foster care has been with cats, which he is ok with unless they run, so he might be safest in a cat free home. He is also prone to chase other animals like farm chickens. Palomo is a chaser and is prone to want to chase cars and can be reactive to dogs on leash, but has been playful off leash with other dogs. Palomo would be best in a non urban area with lots of room to run. If you think you might be his happy home, please contact us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com for more information. You can find our application here: https://forms.office.com/r/b1Fkq3u4zw” Palomo can fly to Vancouver in mid November, with tbd flight date options for Seattle, Calgary and Edmonton depending on where his magical family awaits.

Story
Beautiful husky girl Chiquita, born April 2023, is looking for a home. She is expected to grow to about 55 lbs. Her mum and littermates were often seen wandering in the area of the SPCA PV sanctuary and staff and volunteers saw them in deteriorating condition due to a diet heavy on garbage and took them in to give them the care they needed. After she got refuge in the sanctuary, she lived through a hurricane which heavily damaged the shelter, and she had temporary refuge in a home that unfortunately had a landlord that didn't allow dogs.. but in that time, she learned what a home is and what it is meant to be loved. Chiquita is an energetic so she’d love a yard with some space to burn off some zoomies but was in a foster home in an apartment. She loves the beach. Her foster mom just loved her, described her as a fast learner, and a great cuddler. She has learned basic commands - sit, come, waits to eat her food. She isn't destructive in the home and did well in the car. She is selective with other dogs, and can be reactive, and would squabble with her siblings. Kids make her nervous so she'd prefer a quiet adult home where she can learn more about the world. Chiquita would be best in a home without cats as she shows high prey drive. She is now healthy and vaccinated. If you think you might be her happy home, please contact us at pvcaadoptions@gmail.com for more information. Chiquita is currently in Mexico but can fly to a Canadian home near you!

Story
Hello future family! My name is Link! I'm a spirited and affectionate Husky ready to leap into your heart. I've traveled all the way from a California kill shelter to the beautiful state of Washington, seeking a second chance at life and love. The day I was supposed to be euthanized, my rescuers saved me just in the nick of time and now I'm eager to find my forever home. The shelter thinks I’m around 4 years old. I am medium size, weighing only around 49 lb and 30” tall. I'm a playful bundle of joy who loves to run, play, and shower you with love nibbles and kisses. My past may be a mystery, but my personality is an open book filled with love and excitement. I'm known for my playful antics and can be a bit mouthy when I'm excited, so I'd love a home with an active furry sibling to match my energy. I can be an only dog too, if my human can setup play dates to meet my socializing needs. I adore attention and can't wait to prance over to you for some well-deserved pets. I'm a social butterfly at the dog park, making friends with ease, and I'm quickly learning basic commands. Rest assured, I'm house trained and a well-behaved boy, quietly awaiting our afternoon walks. Speaking of walks, did I mention I'm FAST? I love chasing after squirrels and feeling the wind in my fur as I sprint around the dog park. And oh, when I get the zoomies, I have this adorable quirk – I jump straight up into the air! It's so cute and unique, how many other dogs have you seen do that? My ideal human would be someone active like me, ready to explore and embark on adventures together. Despite my energetic nature, I'm a happy-go-lucky dog who just wants to be part of a loving family. I promise to fill your days with laughter, joy, and endless affection. So, what do you say? Are you ready to welcome a sweet boy like me into your heart and home? With wagging tails, hopeful eyes, and mid-air zoomies, - Link ————————————— Please contact to schedule a meet & greet with Link, and learn about the adoption process. We can arrange meet & greet in the Greater Seattle area. His adoption fee is $300 ———————————— [IMPORTANT] Below listed requirements are meant for everyone’s safety. • If you have other dogs, then you must also be knowledgeable and have good hands on experience with running a multi-dog home to be able to adopt a dog from us. What's expected of the adopter is just keeping basic house rules like (1) keep the dogs apart when feeding, monitor & put away left over food, (2) help them build mutual trust before leaving alone with treats, toys around (3) keep dogs out of kitchen when handling food etc • As with any dog, earn their trust around food handling. This is an essential training for every dog, so they learn to trust their new human. It takes only a couple of practice sessions around meal time with most dogs with no history of food guarding. Teaching to sit, then hand-feeding food & high value treats is one of the best ways to eat trust. • If you have children at home, they should be at least 8+ yrs, and know to safely & respectfully interact with dogs, to be considered for adoption. We think families with younger children will likely not have the time needed to exercise and nourish a new dog. And the time needed to train little kids to safely interact with dogs, read their body language & respect their space. • We discourage the use of choke, pinch, prong collars on our dogs. We do not believe this is the humane way to train dogs for obedience, when there are science based, positive reinforcement training methods available in 2023. Besides, huskies are genetically prone to glaucoma of the eyes, and the pressure on the neck will only hurt them more. Walking on a well fitted no-pull harness is encouraged. ———
