GUANTES In Foster in Victoria, BC
Male * Mixed Breed * 1 1/2 years * 23 k
This handsome boy is looking for a moderately active home. Guantes is a playful dog, prefers females, and should not live in a home with cats. He's a great dog and needs a guardian that is confident, as he needs some guidance with ignoring other dogs during his walks. He would probably do best as an only dog so that his new guardian can give him all the attention he needs. Guantes is in a foster home in Sooke, B.C. with two other dogs where he absolutely loves romping with the female Formosan dog. |

BAILEE Adoption pending
Female * Chihuahua X * 5 years * 3 k
Teeny weeny Bailee has been in a loving home all her life, has not been mistreated and is a super affectionate companion. However, her human mom decided to let her go in Bailee's best interests. As she was living with several other dogs, some quite large, she unfortunately was not in the safest surroundings, and in fact, this is how she lost her right eye. Bailee can live with other dogs (we are not sure about cats) but not medium or large ones. She is a bouncy, sweet and super-affectionate dog that likes to do spins and give plenty of kisses. We don't want her left alone all day, and she should never be left alone in the yard. Bailee is in a foster home on Gabriola Island. |

PIPPA Adoption pending
Female * Terrier X * 1 1/2 years * 4 k
Sweet little Pippa, the pipsqueak, was found on the streets by two young women. They save her from the mistreatment some children were inflicting on her. Since her arrival at the Mex-Can shelter she has learned people are not all bad, and now accepts being handled and cuddled. She can live with other dogs, and even with cats although she will chase them occasionally. We are not recommending a home with young children. |

AMY
Female * Spaniel x Schnauzer x Poodle * 1 1/2 years * 13 k
Amy came to us last November and is now ready to move on to a home that will give her the attention she requires. Amy is a sweet, affectionate, social, but at times skittish dog, that must be kept on leash until she is totally bonded to her human. We could see her going to a home in an apartment or a situation where she has no chance of escaping accidentally out the door or the yard. She is a high jumper! Amy doesn't have a mean bone in her body and will require a patient home that can put in the time to teach her confidence. She has not been tested with children. She is fine with cats and all other dogs. In fact, she's the one that might get picked on among a group of dogs.

PACHA
Female * Terrier x Poodle * 8 months * 12 k
Pacha is a very playful and social young dog looking for an active lifestyle with guardians who can put the time in for puppy training and guidance. She is a pretty all-around balanced dog of approximately eight months of age and weighing 12 kilos. She's not good with cats and has not been tested with children. We would prefer she not be left alone all day so some mid day exercise routine for her if you're working full time, or doggy daycare, would be great.

GUCCI
Male * Labrador x Husky * 1 1/2 years * 15 k
What a good dog Gucci is! This guy seems very well-rounded and friendly. Since his arrival at the Mex-Can shelter he has proven to be a social and friendly fellow. He loves attention and company, and is playful with the other dogs here. He has not been tested with cats.

QUESADILLA
Female * Labrador x Whippet x Hound * 8 months * 10 k
Darling Quesadilla is still a young dog that will need some guidance and learning boundaries. She is friendly and social, although at first was a little leery of other dogs (larger than her). She is settling in now and showing her playful side. She was found abandoned on the top floor of a parking lot. Can live with dog-savvy cat.

GOOSE
Male *Corgi X * 2 years * 15 kilos
This sturdy low-rider, Goose, is looking for a fairly active home where he can get loads of love. He's fine with other dogs, but can have a bossy attitude at times, so we recommend he go with someone with dog experience or Corgi-experience (?), and perhaps just be an on-leash dog with walks in the neighbourhood. He's not been tested with cats.

LORENZAFemale * Schnauzer X Spaniel * 6 years * 13 k
Lorenza is just starting to understand a brand new big world outside of the minimal care and space she lived in for the last five years. It's truly amazing how strong the social drive is in some dogs, as she is very friendly and loving still. Lorenza should be an only dog in the household, and is not a dog for the dog park as she has a bossy edge to her, and she is not good with cats and has not been tested with children. She deserves to blossom to her fullest now and enjoy the comforts of a real home. She would enjoy a big walk daily . |
|
SOLFemale • Labrador Mix * 5 years • 19 kg
This girl, also, will require help adapting to the new world. She's spent the last couple years living with Toño with minimal care and close to no socialization. Despite that she is fond of people, but would do best in a home as an only dog. She can also stand to lose a bit of weight, so daily excercise will be great for her.
|
|
TOÑOMale • Aussie X * 5 years • 19 kg
Toño, too, will require help adapting to the new world. Having lived only with Sol, or alone, for the last four years, he will need guidance with adjusting to a regular home. He is, however, eager to receive attention once he knows you and then he's all over you! Toño can also stand to lose a bit of weight, so daily exercise will be good for him.

AGNES AND MARGO
These are very loving girls once they know and bond with you, which can take some time. So, only persons willing and able to be patient with them should apply. They are not great with walking on leash in busy areas where there is a lot of stimulation, as they scare easily. Transition into walking on leash will be necessary. However, they do love running and playing in big open areas, that are fenced, and are currently living with several other dogs in rescue.
These girls would do best placed individually, not together, so they can bond with their human instead of rely on each other. History: found as puppies abandoned in an empty lot, were taken in by a couple but received no socialization. |

CONCHAFemale • Sharpei X Lab X Mystery * 3 years • 25 kg
If you are looking for a dog to follow you everywhere and plead for attention, this is Leyla. Although she can't get high grades for obedience, she can certainly make up for it with love and adoration. Also on the stubborn side, needs firm direction when it comes to being pushy for your attention and Leyla also needs to learn she is NOT a lap dog, She co-exists with the other dogs at the shelter but can want to be "dominant". She is also a very high jumper so will require a fence at least 5' high. A real puller on leash, perhaps she would do better living on an acreage where she can hang out with her human(s) and help with the chores. Probably not suitable for a home with cats or children. Serious inquiries only for this special girl.
