Dogs in Victoria, B.C. and available for adoption

Scot ADOPTED!
Male - Fox Terrier Mix - 2 years - 8 kilos
Wee Scot has come a long, long way since he was found hiding in the corner of a bank machine alcove one year ago. He has learned to trust certain people, and will even allow them to pet him or pick him up, although he still tenses up. He does not do well with people who force themselves on him. He normally will run away. He is currently in foster in Victoria, living with two cats and another male dog his own size. He has learned to walk on leash (before he would freeze with the leash on). He still startles at quick movements and loud noises. If you are a patient person that understands well the traumas of rescued dogs, Scot may just be waiting for you! A fenced yard is a must for this little guy.

Marfil ADOPTED
Female • Aussie X • 1 year • 13 kg
Marfil (or Marfey for short) is a gorgeous small/medium-sized dog looking for a low to moderately active home, and would be suitable for a home with children. After many attempts to capture her on a very dangerous road, she was finally caught as a terrified stray. But, she has transformed into a curious, affectionate and friendly dog. She lived at a veterinary clinic for a couple of months and was exposed to many people and other animals coming and going, as well as children and cats. Now, at the Mex-Can shelter, she is starting to show her true character. Still a sweet, submissive and affectionate girl, she does have a slightly protective side to her, and will chase some dogs away, barking at them. A firm voice command will stop her. Marfey has suffered some kind of an injury that has resulted in nerve damage to her right front paw. This will probably never be resolved, but some supplements and physio therapy may help her with muscle tone to compensate. She's not a dog for hiking or running.

Capi
Female • Black Lab X • 1 year • 18 kg
This lovely black girl was saved from a life of having puppies after puppies, in a small rancho, where the owners were planning on abandoning her three female puppies in the countryside. She is a very affectionate, to the the point of desperation, and will require some assurances and training in regards to her demands for attention, jumping up and licking. She loves to lick! And, she smiles! She will be available for adoption in September 2018.

Reina
Female • Collie X St. Bernard • 8 years • 26 kg
Reina was abandoned outside of a veterinary clinic. She waited there three days for them to return.......they never did. She was covered in horrible mats full of urine and feces. She had a shave, a bath, was wormed and got flea/tick treatment, and will be spayed and we'll get some blood work done. All Reina wants is a place to live the rest of her years. She is a low maintenance dog and basically just follows me around the house, finds a place to lay down, gets along with the other dogs at the shelter (although is not big on other dogs in her face and will give a growl). If you are looking for a sweet companion dog to take for a couple short walks a day, Reina would love to live with you.

Guera
Female • Labrador X Vizsla • 4 years • 23 kg
Guera is a dog that showed up on her own at the home of one of our veterinarian's employees. She spent months being cared by him and living peacefully with their other dog. Guera is fine with cats and with other dogs. She is pretty low-key, has some anxiety with the use of a leash or being restrained, but is learning to trust being handled, and looks for affection. She would do well in a quiet home, with daily walks, and a fenced yard is a must for this girl.
