Foster, Adopt OR Foster-to-Adopt me!

Sweet pittie Tito has beautiful eyes, a contagious grin… and a purr? Two-year-old Tito is healthy, potty trained, walks well on leash, and loves learning new tricks. Long hikes on the weekend get Tito’s energy out, and he spends his weekdays napping on blankets near his foster mom. Tito is easy-and naturally quiet. He rarely barks, but makes piggy snorts and purrs throughout the day. (We think he’s 1/3 dog, 1/3 cat, and 1/3 pig!)

Tito was shy when he arrived at the shelter, but warmed up with treats and attention. He trusts women a little more readily than men, but bonds tightly to any gentle person who shows him patience and love. Once you’re his person, sweet Tito enjoys giving kisses, getting couch cuddles, and making you laugh with silly bum-wiggles!

Tito loves other dogs, and easily made friends in shelter playgroups. He will be a fantastic brother for another dog. We haven’t yet asked Tito if he likes cats. Tito needs a dog-savvy home, ideally with a yard so Tito can roll around on the grass. (As we said – part pig.) We recommend a home without small children; Tito seems to like kids, but can be a bowling ball when he gets the zoomies. He needs a patient family that commits to positive training methods – this gentle boy needs spoiling, not discipline! If you can give that to Tito, he will repay you with silliness, loyalty, and love.

Small, sweet Emma will melt your heart with her beautiful hazel eyes!

One-year-old (30 pounds) Emma was abandoned in Mexico, and lived on scraps for several months. Emma’s foster home has slowly taught her that people can be trusted. She is a gentle and loving puppy, and needs a family that will be patient and gentle while she learns they are safe. After a couple of weeks, Emma will show her trust by cuddling up on the couch and burrowing under your blankets at bedtime!

Emma already is house-trained. Once she knows your home is safe, she can be left alone during the day without a fuss. (Chew toys help!) If Emma has backyard access, she even will play ball by herself to burn off excess energy.

Emma’s favorite cue is “let’s go for a walk” – her little legs will rush right over if you say it! She loves to explore the smells of her world, and will sometimes greet polite, dog-savvy people and dogs. Although she’s a little girl, Emma needs a home that will exercise her brain with games and training, and her body with lots of outdoor access.

Emma gets along well with other dogs, and respects cats that she knows. We feel she would be much happier if she lives with other dogs … She loves playing with the toddler in her foster family and could live with dog-savvy children.

If you’re interested to meet Emma, we ask that you fill out THIS form: http://www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow Thank you!

Gentle giant Yodi is ready for his forever home!

This easy-going boy loves cuddles and making his people happy. Luckily, he’s great at both! If you want to laugh, just turn on a sprinkler and Yodi will frolic in the water. If you want to cry, Yodi will climb on your lap and lick your face. Yodi is ready to be whatever you need!

Yodi isn’t just cuddly, he’s smart! He already knows sit, shake, and down. He is already crate-trained, and is comfortable waiting in his crate while you run errands. Yodi loves food and treats, so will be able to learn even more with positive-reinforcement training.

Yodi likes chew toys and is learning to play fetch. He behaves well on walks, and is always excited to meet other dogs.

Yodi would love a home with a dog-sibling! He will also enjoy being the one and only if he gets his daily walks and exposure to other dogs and humans. He likes kids, but because he turns into a bit of a cannonball when he runs, we think he should not live with small children. Yodi hasn’t told us yet what he thinks of cats but he seemed to not care about them when we passed by the cat colony.

To arrange a meeting with Yodi, we ask that you help us learn more about you and your household by filling out our online application: http://www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow

Foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt Rocky. Rocky is a very handsome boy, intelligent and a quick learner! This 5+ year-old already is house-trained, great on leash, dog- and cat-friendly, neutered, vaccinated, and healthy. Although Rocky was neglected and possibly abused in the first few years of his life, he wants to trust and love people when given the time and space that he needs to approach them at his own pace. Rocky loves car rides and the outdoors, and is great indoors. He is curious, smart, and makes a great companion to a dog-savvy person/family who can be kind and patient. Rocky just needs to learn that it’s safe to relax and have fun, to be happy in our human-centric world. Rocky is looking for a loving home with no children and a commitment to working with Rocky. His family needs to provide him with adequate mental and physical enrichment and activities, help him build his confidence, and train him using force-free, positive, reward-based methods. This is crucial for lowering his fears and anxieties as well as avoiding situations that will stress him out or make him feel helpless and vulnerable. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to Rocky, please reach out to Farah Ravon. Your kindness could unlock a world of joy and companionship with Rocky as your loyal friend! We will consider a foster, adopt, or foster-to-adopt arrangement. Link to our online application for foster or adopt: http://www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow

Noel is a beautiful brown-and-white Siberian Husky with the most charming demeanor. Her gorgeous eyes tell how much she loves you.

Noel loves activity – walks, hikes, and playing with other dogs. But she loves her people so much that if you need a lazy day, she’ll happily cuddle up with you! Noel listens very well and would love to have a job, or a human who does advanced training with her.

Noel gets a little separation anxiety when left alone, but is working on this in training. She loves toys (especially destroying stuffies!), so puzzles that challenge her brain may help her learn to appreciate solo time. Noel knows how to be quiet when asked, and even behaves for her baths! With continued positive training, she will shine.

Noel gets along well with her foster dog-siblings, and even defers to her dog-savvy cat-sibling! She would love to have fur-siblings in her forever home. We recommend a home with only older human siblings because Noel (adorably!) is afraid of small children.

This holiday season, as we see festive pictures of our One Planet Rescue alumni living their best lives, we’re so grateful to our fosters who helped us save these precious animals’ lives, AND to our adopters who made them part of the family. We wish all shelter dogs and cats could be this lucky!

With the new year almost here, we reflect on 2023, with joy in our hearts at all the deserving lives saved, and with warm remembrances of our rescue angels who gained their wings this year. While we wish that all our beloved animals had more time here with us, we know no amount of time would be long enough.

Our hearts are full thinking of the opportunity they were given to know the meaning of family and unconditional love. We’re so grateful to our fosters who gave them a soft place to land and to our adopters who invited them into their hearts and homes. With the shelter crisis happening across the country, we know these babies were the lucky ones who were given a chance. We wish we could give all animals in need this same loving chance. Please join us as we fondly remember our angels from 2023.

Please consider opening your heart to foster or adopt an animal in the new year. And please remember One Planet Rescue as you make your year-end donations. The life-saving work we do depends on your support. We’re so grateful for our OPR community. Together, we can make a difference, one life at a time. Happiest of holidays to you all!

LOCATED IN VANCOUVER, BC

1-year-old Petey is fun, affectionate and at 8.5 kg/ 18 lbs, perfectly pick-up-able!

Petey was abandoned on a beach in Mexico. Now that he is safe and cared for, this loving pup wants to be close to his person at all times. Whether it’s cuddling on your lap to watch TV, nestling beside you while you work, or sharing your bed at night, Petey will constantly let you know you’re adored.

Because he is treat-motivated and eager to please, Petey is easy to train. Almost anything is a treat to this boy; he will feel spoiled whether you give him jerky or carrots! Petey is house-trained, walks nicely on a leash, sits for a treat, and sleeps in his crate. He is learning to stay in his crate when his people leave, and that it’s ok to meet new people and dogs when leashed. Petey loves playing with other dogs, even if they are much bigger than he is. He even shares his toys with his doggie friends! Because Petey is social, it is easy to burn off his puppy energy at a dog park.

Petey would love a home with another social dog and if not, playdates with friends and family dogs would be a big plus. He likes cats, but might be too playful to live with an older cat. Petey could live with children who understand to be gentle with smaller dogs.

If you like to meet Petey, please fill out our online application (www.tinyurl.com/AdoptMeNow) and we will plan a date!
