Meet our dogs.
Missy
Do you have a big heart? If so, read on…
Hello! My name is Missy and I am ready to find my furever family.
I am not a youngster but I love my people and get along with other dogs and cats as long as they don't startle me. In fact at night I share the bed with my foster human, her dog and her big cat! They are all cuddlers! I am also happy to sleep on the floor in my bed.
I am quiet and like to sleep but I'm always up for a walk or a car ride. I am happy to cuddle but only on my terms. And I because I've been around a while I have selective hearing (or maybe I'm a little hard to hearing)
I am house trained once I get used to my surroundings but will have the odd accident if not taken out regularly.
Oops! I forgot to tell you I lived my life with only one eye because the second one didn't grow properly and it basically left a hole in my face. By the time I was rescued my good eye was affected by a severe cataract that was causing me constant pain. The decision was made to repair the hole and remove the cataracted eye. So I am eyeless and have been learning to live without sight. I require a little extra help because I use sound, feeling and smells to navigate but I'm doing just fine! PS: And I am getting pretty brave about exploring on my own.
I would love to spend the rest of my days with a human or humans who live life at a slower pace, who will have patience as I learn my way around and we learn to communicate and who are willing to lose me on my terms. I really am a sweetheart, so my foster mom says
*Missy is 12 years old, weighs about 8.5 pounds, and is a miniature poodle mix*
If you feel you may be a good fit for this sweet special girl, please fill out an application for adoption:
Sammy
Meet Sammy – Your Hot Mess Soulmate
Currently crashing on a foster couch
Toddlers need not apply
Age: 8 months (ish)
Breed: Curly-haired Maltese Poodle mix (think: if a Muppet and a tumbleweed had a baby)
Height: Tall enough to steal your sandwich, small enough to steal your heart
Weight: Emotionally heavy (but working on it), physically on the small side of medium (12 pounds of drama, wrapped in emotionally supportive fluff).
About Me:
Hi, I’m Samson, but you can call me Sammy – although it is bold of people to expect me to answer, when spiritually I am still trying to figure out who I truly am. I am your dream dog, if your dreams are slightly chaotic and filled with periodic and rambunctious smooches. I am the canine equivalent of that extrovert at the party who loves too quickly, hugs too long, and accidentally breaks your lamp while dancing. I love life, hikes, and making new friends (as long as they're not sticky, screaming toddlers – hard pass).
Looks:
Curly black hair that’s always windblown (on purpose).
Four grey socks I never take off – because fashion!
Big brown eyes that will seduce you… right before I trip over my own feet.
My Love Language:
• Physical touch – but only when I initiate it. Otherwise, I will growl like a gremlin emerging from nap time and maybe give you a love bite. It’s not toxic if I warn you first, right?
• Quality time – Swipe right if you hate personal space as much as I do and if you don’t do alone time – I am basically your shadow, but cuter and with better fur. If you are drawn to stage-five clingers and are into candlelit dinners (you eat, I stare) and never peeing or showering alone (I can lick your legs as you exfoliate), we may just be soulmates!
Take me with you to meet your dog, your neighbor’s dog, your grandma’s dog... bring on the playdates! I also ADORE all non-toddler children: I simply prefer my playmates tall enough to reach the treat jar.
• Acts of service – like emotionally supporting you while chewing aggressively on my sacred stuffed puppy (no touchy = no injury).
What I’m Looking For:
A fun-loving, dog-savvy human family who understand that boundaries are beautiful, naps are sacred, and toddlers are small chaos goblins who must be avoided. Someone with a sense of humor and a fenced yard. Someone who hikes, runs, can throw toys for hours after said long walk and then who like being stared at lovingly while trying to relax. Bonus points if your couch is plush, your leash game is strong, and your treat stash is fully stocked.
Turn-Ons:
Dogs
Kids over toddler age
Long hikes and car rides
High-energy households
Big personalities
People who enjoy a little mystery in your rugs and who believe love means never yelling “bad dog” (ask my therapist about this later), we just might be meant to be.
Turn-Offs:
People who wake me from naps
Toddlers (sorry, tiny humans – it’s not me, it’s you)
Anyone touching Mr. Flufferton, my emotional support puppy
X Anyone looking for more puppies as I just got neutered (sorry, but you missed your chance, ladies).
Final Pitch:
Obviously, I am adorbs, but I am still young and working on myself, Okay? If you can handle a little bit of chaos, swipe right on a pocket-sized bundle of mayhem in sunglasses. Swipe right for cuddles on my terms. Swipe right on Sammy – the lovable goof with strong opinions about nap etiquette. I’m not perfect, but I’m perfectly me – and I just might be perfect for you.
Bonus Offer:
Adopt me today and unlock premium perks: I have my current Situation-ship foster family wrapped around my paw and they will offer to babysit me anytime you have to travel without me (they are obsessed – can you blame them?).
If you looking for main character energy, an ever-present confidant and a vibe - all at the same time - come and meet the legend himself, Sammy!
So, let’s get filling out that app and let’s start our own Rom-Com lifetime of love.
Hey Mom, Have I gotten any Swipes yet?
Piglet , aka “Harry”
Please meet sweet little “Piglet”. His foster mom calls him Harry, because he is a hairless chihuahua. (He does have some hair).
Harry is 7 years old. He weighs 10 pounds. He has been neutered and has received all his immunizations. He is healthy, happy, playful, and looking for his for his forever home.
Harry is housetrained, does not destroy things, and gets along well with dogs. We don’t know how he is with kids or cats.
If you feel this sweetheart may be a fit for you, or for more information, please fill out an application for adoption. Please note we give priority to applicants in Kamloops and neighbouring communities.
Peanut - adoption pending
Hi
I'm Peanut. AKA Peanut Butter/ Spuddy/ MR.Potato. I was rescued about 7 months ago by a lovely family, then placed in a home in Kamloops. When I first went to the new home I was very timid, and had no manners. The humans have been working hard to train me, good thing I'm a very quick learner.
I now have a really good leave it, and decent recall. I have learned sit, lay down, touch, and spin. I am crate trained and sleep in my crate overnight. I LOVE my toys! I love to run, jump, flail and be goofy with all my toys! I LOVE when you play with me, with my toys. I LOVE treats. I am a very sweet, good boy, with the biggest eyes, one look into them and you'll see how much I want to be loved and make you happy. I am very affectionate (maybe too affectionate) constantly asking for pets, or treats or any attention I can get. My goofy, puppy brain will melt your heart. I have come out of my shell ALOT but am still timid with new things.
Some things you need to know about me.I have resource guarding issues so I can't live with other dogs or cats. I have an unknown history and some things still startle me, creating me to react. I will need more training to help me with that, as well continued leash training and "off" training (I like to jump up to get that attention I mentioned).
If you take me home, I will bring my crate and bed, harness and leash and of course a few of my favourite toys.
Peanut's particulars:
AGE apx 1 yr
BREED Staffordshire Terrier/Border Collie
MALE Neutered
WEIGHS apx 40 pounds, 20 inches tall
Up to date on all vaccines
If you feel Peanut may be a good fit for you, please fill out an adoption application.
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.
