Meet our dogs.
Peanut
This is Peanut. He is an approximately 11 months old, American Stafordshire Terrier/Border Collie. He weighs about 40 lbs, is neutered and up to date on vaccines.
Peanut was found in an equipment yard, starving, covered in tics and fleas. He was brought back to health by a lovely family and then placed in a home in Kamloops, where he thought he would be in his furever home. After getting to his new home it was discovered he can't live with cats and pushes around his dog sister. He loves playing with her but has a few resource guarding issues and can really put her in her place. Because of this, Peanut needs a new home, with no cats, dogs or small children.
Peanut is a quick learner but still needs a bit of training. His leash skills are improving. He knows leave it, sit, lay down and has good recall. He does like to jump up and needs some training on that. He is crate trained. He loves chew toys, running, treats and kongs. He has alot of energy and can be quite clumbsy and goofy!
Peanut is sweet and wants as much attention as he can get! He has some fears but they are getting better with proper exposure, such as loud sounds, and other dogs. His uncertainty with dogs is getting better as he has more good interactions with dogs. He has a general uncertainty when out in the world but is getting more brave everyime he's out.
If you feel like you Peanut may be a good fit for you, please fill out an adoption application on this website. Please note we give priority to applicants in Kamloops and neighbouring communities.
Nait
Nait is a very very sweet boy! He is good with dogs, loves people, and would probably get along with cats. He loves walks and cuddles. He sleeps with foster mom all night. Big or small spoon...he's not picky but he enjoys touching most of the night. He is definitely motivated with food and house training is in progress.
Nait is about four months old and currently weighs about 20 pounds. He is a Plott Hound.
Louellyn
Louellyn is part Chihuahua and estimated to be about 3 years old. She weighs around 16 pounds and has very short fur.
She loves her crunchies, soft food, and, of course, treats. We are working on potty training and are seeing progress. She understands NO. She is working on OFF (to stop trying to get things from table/counter or jumping on people. Despite the fact that Miss Louellyn was likely in a crate for most of her life prior and used for breeding, and doesn't really know "how to dog" (as the vet says), she is the sweetest little thing. She is so cuddly - she loves to be picked up, to be held, and cuddle with you. She melts into when you pick her up.
She wants to be on your lap and sleep with you. She will try to be as close to you as possible, and as far up the bed as possible.
Despite likely having been kenneled for a good chunk of her life, she readily jumps on the couch, chairs, or bed, and makes herself home there. She didn't know how to use stairs when she first got here, but can now go up them easily, and down them slowly. If the stairs are open backed, they are scarier for her. She still sometimes needs a little nudge to go down the back stairs to the back yard.
She loves to stretch both of her back legs out and drag herself on the carpet. When laying on the couch or bed or floor, she is happy to give you her belly for rubs. She doesn't seem to have been walked prior to coming to us but she is learning
She gets on very well with her foster brother doggo. They will play a bit together and will sleep snuggled up beside each other or even touching each other They sometimes sleep in her crate together. Unknown for cats and kids but with her sweet personality, it's unlikely this is an issue.
She is like a little noodle when you pick her up, she just melts into you. As long as her new family is patient with her on her training, especially potty training, who ever takes this wee girl into their family will have the sweetest most gentle little doggo. We absolutely adore her! If you are interested in adopting Louellyn, please fill out an application on this website.
Jake
Jake’s bio has been written by his foster mom, who knows him best:
“Well, after 5 months with my big Jake, we think it is time to look for the perfect forever family for him. Although he will always have allergies, I finally have him at the point where his daily allergy medication and a good hypoallergenic food are maintaining his new beautiful shiny coat!
Jake is a 1 1/2 year old purebred German Shepherd. He weighs 77 lbs. He has 2 favourite things in his life - his ball and snuggling in your lap ❤️ He is sweet, highly intelligent and eager to please. German shepherds need a lot of space to run and Jake would do best with a little land or big yard to play in. I am working on his dog reactivity, his greeting is all bark but once he settles he likes to have a buddy to play with. He sleeps with my cat but does like a good chase if she is in the mood for running!
His severe allergies may make him a special needs dog, but with the right management and strict rules regarding his diet, he will continue to flourish. I absolutely love this goofball and wish to find someone who will appreciate him as much as I do 😊” If you are interested in adopting Jake, please fill out an application for adoption.
