Meet Moose – Our Gentle Giant Looking for His Forever Home! 🐾

Moose is a 1½-year-old Mastiff cross with a heart as big as his paws. Though he’s on the smaller side for a Mastiff, Moose is every bit a gentle giant! He loves cuddles, naps, and being your loyal couch companion.

Moose is super friendly with people and gets along well with most dogs. He’s also great with cats and kids, making him a wonderful addition to many types of homes.

Moose will need some leash training, as he’s a bit of a puller, but he’s eager to please and will thrive with gentle guidance and consistency. This sweet boy truly has a heart of gold and can’t wait to share it with his new family.

✨ Moose will come neutered, microchipped, vaccinated (1st set), dewormed, and flea-treated.

🐾 Buddy is Looking for His Forever Home 🐾

Meet Buddy, a 2-year-old male Australian Shepherd, who has truly captured our hearts here at Nanaimo Animal Control. Buddy is a ball of fluff with the kindest personality, who is learning every day that the world and people can be a safe place.

Buddy experienced significant trauma early in his life, and because of that, he needs a calm and understanding home. With us, he has made incredible progress, he has gone from being unsure, anxious and frightened to showing his playful, affectionate, happy sides. He loves treats, gentle pets, and positive praise, and he responds beautifully to kindness and encouragement.

Buddy can still experience triggers, and in those moments, reassurance and supportive handling help him recover quickly. However, scolding, yelling, or forceful handling can be harmful for him and turn Buddies kindness into fearful aggression. For Buddy to continue thriving, he must be in a home that is patient, consistent, and trauma-informed.

Because of how far he has come, we know Buddy will make an amazing companion, but only in a home that understands his needs and is committed to being a safe place with safe people for him.

Buddy is a great match for someone who:

•Has a quiet and stable home
•Uses positive reinforcement
•Is patient, gentle, and compassionate
•Wants to build a trusting bond at Buddy’s pace

Buddy will go to his new home:

•Neutered
•Microchipped
•With his first set of vaccinations
•Flea treated and de-wormed

If you think you could be Buddy’s safe person, we would love to hear from you. 💛

Please only apply if you are committed to providing a gentle, supportive, and loving home. Buddy has worked hard to get where he is, we want to make sure his next home is his forever safe home.

ADOPTED!

🐾 Meet Meko! (Available for adoption)🐾

Our sweet boy Meko is ready to find his forever home!

Meko is a 9-month-old Shepherd cross with a gentle heart and a lot of love to give. He can be a little anxious in new situations, but with treats, patience, and reassurance, he opens up beautifully. Once he trusts you, he wants nothing more than to make his humans happy, he’s a real people-pleaser!

Meko is very smart and learns quickly. He is a bit nervous around other dogs, so slow introductions and positive socialization will help him continue to build confidence.

He will go home neutered, microchipped, flea treated, dewormed, and with his first set of vaccinations.

If you’d like to come meet this sweet, happy boy, please contact us:
