Hi, I'm Hera! 🐾 I’m a strong, playful girl looking for a home just in time for Christmas! I love walks, tug toys, and belly rubs. I’ll need some leash training, but I’m smart and eager to learn with treats.

I’m good with kids (though I might knock over little ones) and cats, but not dogs. I already know sit, shake, down, and spin, and I can’t wait to meet my forever family! 💖🎄

Meet Hunter! 🐾 I’m a young lab mix ready to start my training journey and become the best boy I can be! I’m treat-motivated (yum!) and love to play, especially outdoors. I’ll need some help building confidence, managing my jumpiness, and adjusting to new people, so patience is key.

I’d thrive in a calm home where I can take things slow. I’m a little nervous around strangers and, well... cats, but I’m open to meeting other dogs with similar energy to mine. I’m excited to find a family who will help me grow, stay active, and give me the time and patience I need! 🐶💖

HOLIDAY PAW VIDEO: https://youtu.be/VTBGHq35Y-g?si=zbCHh9fAo2lf1Sjx
This holiday season, as Bing Crosby’s classic tune fills the air, take a moment to meet the animals at PAW who are patiently waiting for a family to call their own.

Your kindness makes all the difference—from giving these animals a second chance to supporting programs like Roxy’s Pet Pantry and PAW PALS that help our community stay connected with their beloved pets.

Together, we can make this season brighter. Consider adopting, donating, or sharing our mission to help these animals find the love and comfort they deserve.

From all of us at PAW, thank you for being part of their journey. Wishing you a warm and happy holiday season. To find out more information on how you can support us visit www.paw-sba.ca

Ensemble, nous pouvons rendre cette saison encore plus lumineuse. Pensez à adopter, à faire un don ou à partager notre mission pour aider ces animaux à trouver l’amour et le confort qu’ils méritent.

De la part de toute l’équipe de PAW, merci de faire partie de leur voyage. Nous vous souhaitons une saison des fêtes chaleureuse et heureuse.
