Meet our dogs.

Clove - adoption pending

Meet Clove ✨ Clove is a sweet, one-year-old Chihuahua mix with the biggest, softest ears—and yes, they are made for gentle pets. Clove weighs just over 10 pounds.

🥹💕 He’s a bit shy at first, but every day his confidence grows. With help from his big foster brother, Clove has been learning the ropes and is mostly house trained already. As he settles in, his curious and adventurous side is starting to shine ✨ Once Clove trusts you, he’s all about the love: 💋 kisses 🤍 cuddles 🐶 cozy pets

Clove would thrive in a kind, quiet, and loving home where he can continue to blossom at his own pace and be someone’s loyal little shadow. If you think Clove might be your perfect match, please contact Kamloops Ruff Start Rescue for more information and adoption details. Let’s help this gentle soul find his forever home. If you are interested in adopting Clove, please fill out an application on this website. Please note we give priority to applicants in Kamloops and neighbouring communities.

Jossie - accepting applications for adoption

Meet Jose Jossie

From the streets of Mexico to California and finally all the way to Kamloops, Jose has already lived a lifetime of adventure—and now she’s ready to settle into her forever home.

Jossie is a 4–6-year-old, ~20 lb couch-loving cuddle bug with a cheeky, fun personality that will keep you smiling. She has a playful sparkle and a sweet sense of humor, but she’s still very much a calm, easygoing girl at heart. She’s crate trained, sleeps peacefully through the night, and has mastered stairs like a pro.

She adores her foster brother Herbie, is respectful of cats (she completely ignores them!), and is amazing with kids. She’s doing great on leash and enjoys leisurely walks where she can sniff everything—but don’t expect her to be your hiking buddy. Jossie is more of a “wander, then cuddle on the couch” kind of gal.

After meals, she patiently waits for the other pets to finish (though if food is left unattended… well, her cheeky side might make an appearance ).

If you’re looking for a dog who’s equal parts snuggly, funny, and full of quiet charm, Jossie could be your perfect match.

Nestle - accepting applications for adoption

Hi, I’m Nestle!

I’m a 4-year-old, 16lb chocolate chihuahua mix with the sweetest heart and the biggest second-chance story.

I used to live with 27 other dogs (yikes!), but now I’m discovering how wonderful it is to have my own space, cozy bed, and humans who love me. I’m a retired mama, officially off duty and ready for snuggles, car rides, and a peaceful life.

I’m house trained, crate trained, and learning that leashes mean adventures! I’d love a relaxed home with a secure yard (I can jump high!) and maybe a kind dog sibling.

I’m just starting to explore the world… want to explore it with me?

If you are interested in adopting sweet Nestle, please apply on this website. Please note we give priority to applicants in Kamloops and neighbouring communities.
