🐾 Meet Callie – Your New Best Friend! 🐾

Located in Victoria, BC, Callie is an adorable 11 month-old Chihuahua cross weighing just 9 lbs. of pure sweetness. This cream-coloured cutie is a perfect mix of cuddly companion and playful adventurer.

Callie loves curling up on your lap for snuggles and is a champion napper, but she also has a fun, puppyish side. Whether she’s zooming around the backyard, chasing lizards, or playing with her foster siblings, Callie knows how to make the most of life.

She is a generally quiet little girl who enjoys car rides, short daily walks, and spending time with her people. While she can be nervous around new people and unfamiliar dogs, treats and patience quickly help her warm up. Once she knows you, Callie becomes a playful, affectionate love bug who loves being close to her humans.

Callie would thrive in a calm, quieter home where she can continue building her confidence. She gets along with her small and medium-sized foster siblings but would likely be happiest with a dog her own size or as the center of attention in a loving home. She has not been tested with cats or small children.

✅ Spayed
✅ Up to date on vaccinations
✅ Housetrained
✅ Crate trained
✅ Can be left alone for short periods
✅ Good in the car
✅ Working hard on her leash manners

Callie has come a long way and continues to make huge strides every day. All she needs now is a patient, loving family to help her continue to blossom.

💲 Adoption Fee: $800 + PST

Meet Ollie 💛

We truly can’t understand how this sweet little guy hasn’t had any interest yet.

Ollie is approximately 4 years old and only 18 pounds. He came to the rescue from Mexico last summer, incredibly shy with people but absolutely in love with other dogs. Watching him slowly learn to trust has been such a special thing, and now he’s become one of our favourite little companions.

While Ollie can still be a bit timid when meeting new people, once he feels safe, he just wants to be close to you. He loves cuddles and being held — and if you put him down, he’ll quickly ask to be picked right back up again. 🥹

Because he was shy, Ollie kept getting overlooked before coming to us, but we know his perfect match is out there. He doesn’t need someone perfect — just someone patient, kind, and willing to let him blossom at his own pace. And once he does? You’ll have the sweetest little shadow by your side. 🐾💕
