Meet our dogs.
Barry
Hi! I’m Barry! The dog with the name of a middle-manager who is sporting a pocket full of Werther’s Originals. I’m a snuggly Fruit-Bat of a dog, with the fur of a thrifted beanie baby who just wants to cuddle and be loved forever. I’ve matured (about 8 years old), so I no longer chase tail (#neutered). Now, I only chase tranquility, household crumbs and the kind of love that lasts forever.
Breed: Chihuahua-ish, but with ears that make me look like I escaped from a Magician’s hat. Disney once offered me a role in the newest Star Wars trilogy, but my heart and my ears are all saved for you. So, bring on the tea (obviously I’m a great listener) and your secrets will always be safe with me, Mama.
Looks: Weight? 7 pounds of attitude and affection, with an auditory range that can detect the sound of cheese unwrapping from 3 bedrooms away.
I’m housebroken, but with the odd plot twist when you least expect it. I’ve got a heart of gold and don’t mind sharing food; like my mama always said, “there’s no ‘I’ in Kibble.” Or is there? Feel free to load up on the doggie siblings or friends – I’ll love and entertain them all.
The crate life? Um, thanks but no thanks, Janet. Bed sharing? Respectfully decline, Tony. Instead, you’ll find me hanging out on a soft little bed in your room that we should really plan to pick out together during one of our weekly Winners runs, don’t you think? The leash life? Meh, I’m still a bit weirded out walking around naked out there. But give me a nice fenced yard and watch me turn it into our own relaxing sanctuary.
Let’s be real – I’m not your average rescue dog. I possess A-list level confidence, a love for the spotlight and I welcome every person I meet like a favorite ex I haven’t seen since Ibiza. I’m looking for an entourage of my own; people who will stand beside me while I strut down the sidewalk like a B-list celebrity at a fundraiser. I’m that perfect combination of independent and loyal and I am better at being left alone than McCauley Culkin. I’ll just curl up, nap and dream about what we will do together when you come home.
FINAL PLEA:
If you are my soulmate family, scrolling past all the glossy retrievers and trendy labradoodle influencers... please, take a pause to consider me. Barry. The humble underdog with bat-like ears that are bigger than my insecurities, with a love bigger than my tiny bones. So, what do you say? Barry’s ready when you are and I choose you, Mama!
Lucy
Lucy is a beautiful 18 month old terrier, likely a Wheaton Terrier mix. She is a medium sized dog, weighing about 45 pounds. Lucy is spayed and has received all her needed shots and vet care. She is now looking for her person.
Lucy is a smart, active dog who will thrive in a home that keeps her busy. She will do best in a home with no kids, as she is strong and still learning to not jump up and nip when she is excited or nervous. She should be in a home with no cats or chickens as she will likely chase them. She could do well with another playful, balanced dog in the home, but may take some time and guidance to adjust to sharing her things and food with another dog.
If you are an active person or couple who would love the company of a sweet dog who needs some patience and training to be her best self, please apply to adopt Lucy.
Baby and T Bone
RUFF LOVE – Fur-st Responder Duo; Ready to Patrol Your Kitchen and Steal Your Heart
THE PLOT LINE:
From the mean streets of Penticton, to the plush blankies of Kamloops. These sweet, bonded souls were rescued from the back of a shelter van, clinging to each other the way only lifelong partners against-crime can. They’ve survived the hard stuff—and now they are ready to thrive. Together. With you. Trading their worn-out badges in for belly rubs. They get along great with other dogs, love kids enough to save them from burning buildings, just don’t mistake them for Street Beat Cops – they are 100% Couch Detectives. Neither has any further interest in pounding pavement on a leash. They are low drama, high affection and hungry for love in every sense of the word.
STARRING:
Baby (12 yrs, 10 lbs) – The Veteran.
• She’s seen it all, from high-speed squirrel chases to emotional stakeouts by the window. Possibly spayed, definitely in charge. Baby’s got some wear from her years in the field; a slight heart murmur (nothing she has to bring up at the Precinct at this point), some dental drama (pension benefits have kicked in to resolve this). She runs the operation and will sleep beside you like you’re her last and best case.
T-Bone (8 yrs, 3.5 lbs) – The Rookie.
• He’s young(-ger-ish), wild(er-ish) and full of tongue. T-Bone has the kind of underdog energy that powers Pixar movies. His lower jaw may be MIA after a wild high-speed chase, but his tail isn’t afraid of still working some overtime.
THEIR BOND:
Unbreakable. Think: Starsky and Hutch vibes.
THEIR IDEAL HIDEOUT:
A calm, Safe House with backup on the ready, for those lonely nights spent steak-ing out your fridge. Complete with soft beds, warm laps and chill humans, where all they need to deal with from now on is the occasional mysterious cheese string.
CLASSIFIED INTEL:
Crime-fighters at heart, this duo will protect loved ones in their jurisdiction from anyone on the Most Wanted List; including their arch nemesis, known locally only as “The Mailman.”
ADOPT IF YOU:
Believe in rehabilitation and second chances for an off-duty pair.
Do you have room for two brave little heroes, who want nothing more than for you to take over their case, drive the get-away car home and then spend the rest of their lives UNDER COVER (blankets), watching crime documentary marathons together with you. Now fill out that Adoption applications and let’s CALL THIS CASE CLOSED, shall we?
If you feel like you may be a good fit to adopt T Bone and Baby, please fill out an adoption application found on this website. Please note we give priority to applicants in Kamloops and neighbouring communities.
Eggo
RUFF LOVE – WHERE SOMETIMES SOULMATES COME IN THREE’S
Introducing EGGO – “Once you meet me, I may never L’EGGO your heart”. Looking for a package-deal family with wholesome throuple-style energy; you bring the other dog, I’ll bring the co-dependency.
Looks: Chihuahua vibes (mom says my dad is either a Daschund or a Terrier – I don’t know, so you get to pick when you tell your friends about me). Picture the body of a baby seal who has seen some things, with a slight muffin top.
Age: A gentleman never tells. OK, around 5 years old.
Skills: Housebroken but I still loves me a random pee-pad moment.
Weight: A gentleman never tells. Ok 11 pounds. Small enough to fit in your blankets, yet large enough for you to feel it when I stomp on your head at (exactly) dawn.
Criminal Record: In full disclosure, I am a sock-stealing-addict in recovery. Or not. Don’t worry, I plan to blame any damage on your first mutt, anyway.
About Me:
Hi! I'm Eggo — a little rescue with the fur of a dollar-store Barbie after a 3-year-old gives it a haircut. Due to my delicate still-in-the-oven-souffle-like emotional constitution, let’s not ruin our household vibe by including kids, with their sticky fingers and unpredictable energy. Think spa retreat, not daycare. I may start off timid, but once we bond, I’ll follow you everywhere. Into the kitchen. Into the bathroom. Into your soul. I will stick to you like hot syrup to my namesake. Bonus skill: I flatten like a pancake when you try to pick me up; Excuse me, I’m trying to start a trend.
🐕🦺 LOOKING FOR:
Another resident dog bestie – must be down to play, cuddle and vibe at all times. No little children.
A chill household, where the loudest sound is the fridge opening to get me some cheese! I do not like to be left alone for long periods of the day.
50+ SPF for my sun-worshipping but delicate alabaster complexion
Someone who doesn’t mind being loved too much and who gets that there is no limit on the need for constant touching, light stalking, and sleeping on your pillow.
So, what do you say? Swipe Right if you’ve got room in your heart (and bed) for one more tiny soul who is just looking for belonging and new beginnings. Swipe Right if you don’t mind that your soulmate comes with a side of nerves and a whole lot of loyalty. Swipe Right if your current dog is open to a new bromance triangle. I’ll bring the love and weirdness, you bring the couch. We ride at dawn (foot-stomping, remember?)
So, if you believe in second chances and second helpings, I’m your full-of-love little cinnamon bun, ready to be warmed in the sun and chosen forever with heaping side of snuggles. Quick, Swipe Right and let all the other potential adopters know it’s time to “LEGGO MY EGGO!"
If you are interested in adopting Eggo, or for more information, please complete an adoption application. Please note we give priority to applicants in Kamloops and neighbouring communities.
Earl
So hi, my name is Earl. I am a 9 year old, 14 pound pom who has a very crazy nervous disorder that caused me to lose my hair! I shake and shiver alot; sometimes its cuz im cold but mom says its cuz im a little high maintenance!! I have lots of clothes I sort of like to wear ! My sister does not put my clothes on right! My mom is the only one who does it right !!
I love to snuggle and I love to be as close to my human as possible. Mom says I break all the boundary rules !! I have a small stuffed mallow that is my support toy. Please dont ever lose him!! Hes a very tiny squishmallow and it’s kind of like my pacifier!
Mom's nickname for me is Earlie pearly whirly swirly twirly cuz whenever I get excited that’s what I do!! I love to sleep under the covers and take your personal space there as well!! Mom finds it frustrating. I personally love it cuz my love language is SNUGGLE!!!
Are you getting that i like to snuggle?! Sometimes I get cranky and I try to bite you with my toothless chompers! Mom always laughs at me when I try to be tough and then I growl when she tries to kiss me and make me feel less grumpy.....I get over it quick and find her for a snuggle !!!
Over all I’m a sweetheart and I just want love! My mom is sad that she can't take care of me but I understand, cuz she told me I was made for a sweet person who is retired and not as noisy or annoying as my brother cat Stewart (who constantly jumps on me and annoys me)!! She said that sometimes in life we are destined to have many jobs and hats and my job in this family is done and it's time to move on..
I am up to date on my vet care. I’ve recently been neutered, which has helped a lot with the marking I used to do. The vet says the neuter may also help with my hair loss.
If you think you have room in your heart and home for me, please fill out an application for adoption.Please note we give priority to applicants in Kamloops and neighbouring communities.
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.
