Story
Lou is an adorable 8-month-old Pit Bull Terrier mix puppy with an endless supply of energy! This affectionate boy is happiest when he's around people, is really snuggly and loving but is still learning how to be appropriate with his affection. Lou has a playful spirit and will need plenty of enrichment to keep his clever mind engaged. He will be a great match for someone who can provide him with activities like Kongs/puzzle toys in between long-leash walks to help him burn off energy while exploring his surroundings.Training is a positive experience for Lou thanks to his food motivation and he's doing really well learning various cues like "sit" and showing great potential, though he'll need a bit more guidance in managing his excitement-especially when it comes to jumping up to say hello. Lou also needs some training with leash walking, as he sometimes pulls and jumps up when something catches his eye, however with consistent training his enthusiastic personality can be channeled into being the best buddy on walks and adventures.While Lou would like to be the only animal in the home, he would love to have doggy friends that he can meet up with to zoom around and get his beans out! If you're ready for a loyal, lively companion who will keep you laughing, brighten your days, and keep you busy, Lou could be the perfect addition to your family!

Story
This adorable young gent is Cash!! He is super respectful of people and has a good foundation on basic training. Cash is gentle with his human friends, very attentive to his commands as his focus is on you and willing to please. He is still in the goofy stage of growing up and sometimes has some silly antics. Even when Cash gets excited, he is quick to settle down once he has been asked. Cash has lived with another dog and they get along great. His previous owner was very good at getting him out in the public to meet people and other friends. For the most part, he is good with other dogs but there are some that he can be reactive to and some he can be wary of. We are confident that with proper introductions, some additional training under his chin, and consistent routines that he will be an amazing all-around dog. Cash is super gentle when it comes mealtimes, he will patiently wait until he his food has been set down for him. He is food motivated but also very gentle when taking treats from you. Cash is a big, strong boy and is learning to walk on leash without pulling. As we learn more about Cash, we will update is profile. In the meantime, we are happy to have a conversation with you and answer all the questions you may have. If you are interested in meeting Cash, please send in an application online or stop by our location during open hours Tuesday-Saturday 12-4 pm Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 32.9 Age: 0yrs 8mths 2wks

Story
Meet Keona! She is a PitBul X Boston Terrier who is 5 months old. She currently lives with her foster parents and her Big brother Watson 150lb mastiff who is teaching her what it is like to live the life of a dog; she enjoys the companionship very much of another dog! She is curious about cats and learning not to chase as much but still is very interested in building a relationship with them.This sweet precious girl suffers from brachycephalic airway syndrome, a condition affecting short-snouted dogs. Keona needs specialized surgery to shorten her soft palate and clear her airway. Pneumonia, common in dogs with this syndrome, has been a challenge for Keona, but antibiotics are helping her recover.Despite her challenges, Keona is full of joy. She's playful, very affectionate, wants to be with you and absolutely loves everyone she meets.This adorable zestful girl deserves to live a happy and healthy life! :)Keona is currently waiting for her pneumonia to clear and is on antibiotics. Once she has healed from this, she will then be able to have her surgeries.She is having soft pallette resection, everted laryngeal saccule correction and her spay. On an approved application Keona will need to go into a foster to adopt home.For more information on her you can reach out to the Parksville-Qualicum branch at Email: parksville@spca.bc.ca or Phone: 250-248-3811.

Story
**Currently fostered in Houston Texas but is available for out of state adoption via rescue transportation. Virtual meet and greet offered prior to adoption commitment** Kyra is a happy go lucky pup who found herself abandoned on the streets. She was emaciated, had poor skin and just full of worms. Thankfully an amazing woman found her and took her in. She got her clean, well fed, and fully vetted. Now, Kyra is ready to start the next chapter in her adventure! Kyra is just over 2 years old, and is a total hambone of a dog. We believe she is some kind of pitbull, retriever, hound mix. Basically what we call, a Texas Street Special! Whatever her breed, she is all adventure pup and very eager for life. Kyra loves people, I don't think she could ever meet a stranger. She's extremely loving, and enjoys cuddles on the couch, giving kisses, and looking cute for treats! We think she would even do wonderfully with children. Kyra has done wonderful with other dogs as well. She is fantastic at her doggie daycare, does well at dog parks, and loves to play. She doesn't mind the cats, She does chase them at times when she just wants to play. Kyra is not an aggressive dog, but she can lack the meaning of personal space and some of the cats we've introduced her to have not taken kindly to that. We think she could do well in just about any home, however, she would prefer to have regular play mates that can keep up with her be it siblings or play mates from friends, neighbors or daycare environment. She just wants to enjoy life with someone! Kyra does very well with training, mostly due to the fact that she's so smart. She learns quickly, and at times, can be TOO smart. Like how she knows how to push the door open if it's not latched properly. She knows her basics such as sit, kennel, stay. Her only need for training is working on her impulse control. She is fully crate trained, and is doing fantastic with her leash training. She is housebroken, but being such a big pup still, we suggest using a kennel until fully acclimated. Though she quite enjoys cuddling in the bed or couch. Kyra is fully vetted, meaning she is current on all vaccinations and preventions. She is spayed as well as microchipped too. For more information on how to adopt Kyra, contact us at MokasMission@Gmail.com.

Story
Sweet Ben is ready to find his family!Ben arrived to us as a stray that went unclaimed, so no background history is known. He is very energetic and loves to play tug of war. Although sometimes he gets carried away and will start tugging on your sleeve instead of the toy. He also gets a little too excited and will jump up and get mouthy, so we are recommending no young children.Ben will need an active home that is willing to work on some basics, as he is still learning to walk on leash and be inside buildings. Ben loves his people time, and looks forward to cozying up on the couch with his people. He isn't too bothered being alone during the day, he loves a stuffed kong to keep him busy while his people are away. He enjoys a game of chase/catch me if you can in a fenced yard and is an overall happy guy!If you are interested in adopting Ben, please will out the application below.https://spca.bc.ca/adoption/dog-pre-adoption-questionnaire/ Primary Color: Red Gold Weight: 28.5 Age: 0yrs 7mths 3wks
