Story
Woof Woof! My name is Valentina! I'm full of love, I love affection. Hugs and kisses are my absolute fav! I love to play, and I'm great with other dogs. Oh, I'm potty trained too! Yipee! I do love being outside. I'm still learning to walk on a leash well, but I'm getting the hang of it. I'm ok with car rides (still getting used to them) but sometimes I get car sick. My foster Mom gives me meds and I'm fine when I get those before going for rides. I am pretty accommodating, so I can see myself loving car rides one day. I want to do whatever you want to do! I'm also great with kids, all ages! I just love humans so much. I'm a great companion, so please choose me and I promise I'll never want to leave your side.

Story
The first thing I could see when I met Olive was a nurturing nature, seeing her with smaller dogs and kids only reinforced that. So it was no surprise when I learned she was a recent mama who beautifully protected and nurtured her baby into a happy and healthy puppy . Watching them together was heartwarming and we all know that puppy was loved by her and soon will find a family of its own. So let me tell you more about Olive in hopes she wins your heart and can have her own happy and healthy future, she deserves it! Olive is estimated to be about three-years-old, she weighs 57 lbs and is full grown. We believe she may be an Australian Kelpie/Lab mix but with rescue it is always, at best, an educated guess. No matter her breed or her history, this girl is a great companion and a beautiful friend. She has a gorgeous, soft coat, attentive eyes, and the happiest tail to prove how happy she is. I could see Olive in a home with a yard so she could explore, bound around and feel stimulated by her environment. This girl loves a good playtime with a canine companion and her stamina shows when a good game of chase ensues. She isn’t afraid to let loose and get vocal when she is having fun, you will hear her sounds of fun, encouragement, and occasional correction. One thing that sets Olive apart is her incredible rapport with kids. She has a gentle eye and is absolutely at ease in the company of the noise and chaos that kids typically create. Whether it's playing tag or cuddling up for storytime, Olive's demeanor and patient nature make her a great companion for children of all ages. Although great with kids, people of all types, other dogs, Olive isn’t much of a cat person. Its possible she has never been around a cat which creates a natural curiosity, we think she would be best suited for a cat-free home. Lets be honest, not everyone is a cat person. In the vast world of dogs, Olive Karma is one great dog- loyal, loving, and one who loves a good snuggle just as much as a good adventure. She can't wait to explore the world from the end of your leash.

Story
Currently Fostered in Abbotsford BC! Available for adoption in Canada, Oregon, Utah, Idaho and Washington! Oreo is a very active, playful pup. He loves people and animals and is very friendly and social. He is an indoor, "velcro dog" and would love to have another dog and/or cat in the house. Oreo's incredibly smart, good on leash and learning recall commands. He's eager to learn and very food driven. Oreo is a very submissive guy with people and other dogs. He loves to lay on his back and get belly scratches. He is very playful and especially loves playing fetch! He loves to play tug of war and puts up a fierce sounding battle but its all play.He even learned how to swim this summer with his foster mom and will retrieve toys in pretty deep water! He is ready for all your swimming adventures when the weather gets warmer! He really is that all around good dog. He knows lots of commands, verbal and hand commands, and does well with recall when he is alone but when other people or dogs are around he just wants to play and have fun! Oreo would do best in a home with another dog who wants to play or a playful dog savy cat. He is currently living with a cat and has no prey drive towards it, but does like to instigate play. He loves to chew on toys so only sturdy chew toys for this boy. He also loves puzzle toys, kongs and other enrichment activities. He is good in his crate when he foster mom leaves, no barking or separation anxiety. He would do best with someone home part of the day, although he has been left for 7 hours before and been fine. Since he is very playful and likes to run, Oreo would do best in a home with a fenced yard to run and play in. If he starts getting wound up during the day all he needs is a good run in the yard and then he settles back down. He does have some skin allergies, so he eats a fish based kibble and fish/plant based treats. He also is a silly boy and loves ice cubes. His favorite human snacks are raw veggies, some fruits and he loves a good squirt of coconut whipped cream. This guy is also a bit of a fashionista, he loves to wear bandanas, and likes his coats when it is rainy or cold out.

Story
Ariel wants to be part of your world! She wants to see how a home looks and experience what love is. With rescue we can't guarantee age or breed but we estimate Ariel to about 2 years old, she weighs 47 lbs and is likely a pit bull mix. She is fully grown so you have found a petite pittie. One of the best things about her size is she is the perfect to-go size! Take a look at her in action then come back. to read more about Ariel. Ariel's ideal home would be one with a yard, a country or rural setting would suit her beautifully. This girl enjoys the quiet life, but honestly, don’t we all! To help her feel at ease, Ariel would thrive in the company of another dog, preferably one who has a medium level of playfulness. Having a furry companion is the key to unlocking Ariel's full potential, as she tends to open up more in the presence of other dogs. In additions to a love of canine-companions, Ariel gets along famously with feline friends! Meeting our resident cat highlighted her gentle nature. While she maintained a bit of an avoidant attitude towards the cat, she was open to gentle interactions, gave respectful space and has even let the cat walk by without a fuss. With a bit of time to relax and a few treats her personality shined. We were all so excited as she started to wag her tail and come over for love. Experiencing a rescue dog unfold and fall in love with you is powerful and builds a bond like no other. While Ariel could make a wonderful addition to any family, a home with older children, 5+ who can understand her sensitivity to fast movements and loud noises would be ideal. This observation of her personality could easily change once she is in a home. Home life looks good on every dog! If you are looking for a canine companion, a bonus-buddy for your furry friend, and a calm addition to your home, Ariel is ready to be part of your world!
