ADOPTABLE DOGS
Thank you for considering adopting! Before you fill out an application, please visit our Adoption Program page to learn about our process and find answers to frequently asked questions. If there aren't any dogs below that you are interested in, please try not to be discouraged. Since we typically run a smaller program, dogs tend to move quickly and may not make it onto our website. For this reason, we strongly recommend filling out an open adoption application to start the process.
Please note we do not adopt outside of BC. We adopt to residents of the Lower Mainland,
Vancouver Island, and the Interior of BC.

This sweet young pup is looking for a home where he can continue building confidence and learning about the world. A stable resident dog would be an important part of his support system, helping him feel secure as he grows. He can do well with other dogs when introductions are handled thoughtfully and appropriately.
He would do best with a family that understands the needs of a young dog and is willing to provide patience, structure, positive reinforcement, and continued socialization.

Nala is a super-smart, affectionate, and incredibly fun puppy who is looking for an active home that will continue helping her grow.
Nala is an absolute dream to train. She is highly motivated by both food and toys and loves learning new things. With her intelligence, enthusiasm, and athleticism, she would be an excellent candidate for an adventure, agility, or dog-sports home.
She's super affectionate with her people and will be a really fun dog for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle.
Nala can possibly live with another dog, but the match will be important. She can become overstimulated easily when playing with other dogs and can be selective about her canine friends. She would do best either as the only dog in the home or with a calm, mature dog who can provide appropriate corrections and help balance and ground her enthusiastic puppy behavior.
Nala has poor bite inhibition and can become quite mouthy when excited or overstimulated so she could live with older kids but they must understand how to interact appropriately with a puppy.

Ollie was adopted through HugABull as a young pup and unfortunately he is no longer getting along with the other dog in the home despite many tries. His family is incredibly heartbroken but after trying everything possible, they have had no choice but to make this painful decision.
Ollie is a 75lb big baby with the cutest pout who adores his humans and wants nothing more than to be with his people all the time. He is used to accompanying his dad to the shop and while he can be a bit reserved with new people, he is the sweetest dog and has shown zero aggression towards humans.
Since this will be a big transition for him, we want to set him up for success and he would be happiest in a calm household with a nice yard for him to romp around in. Due to his size and his lack of awareness, he would do best in a home with no kids under 10 for now.
Ollie is a cuddly, affectionate, very food motivated goofball who is exceptionally well trained. He does struggle with issues regarding overarousal, which has been the cause of the issues between the dogs, but we think he will do very well in a one dog household.
His family has invested so much time into raising Ollie to be a model pitizen and it shows. He can be left alone no problem, is lovely on leash and isn’t reactive to dogs. If he sees a dog on leash, he might pull towards them but is easily redirected with treats. He’s also crate trained, LOVES water and playing with his toys and hasn’t shown any issues with resource guarding.
These situations are always so hard for families and we want to express how much our hearts go out to Ollie’s family.

Posie is a gorgeous, funny girl who is looking for an adoptive home to help her continue building confidence and stability. Posie would do best in a home with bully breed experience. She can be insecure when on her own and may get a little mouthy when overstimulated, so she needs a patient, understanding foster committed to helping her succeed. Posie also has a high prey drive, so she cannot live with cats or other small animals. She could thrive in an townhouse, or detached home. However, if living in a townhouse, she would benefit from someone who is home more often than not, as she can sometimes be vocal when left alone.
