Atticus came to us from a very tough situation. It is evident that he had a very good upbringing and was well loved at some point.

He arrived at our shelter in terrible condition with many wounds and injuries and was terribly emaciated.
We are unsure what exactly happened, but Atticus has never stopped loving people.

He has been diligently nursed back from the brink of death and is happy and thriving with the love he is receiving.

He desperately needs a new home where he can continue to be cared for and can be brought back to his former handsome self.

He is very playful and loves fetch with his ball more than anything in the world. He is friendly with people and ignores other dogs.

We feel he will prosper in a home with no little kids or other pets so he will never have to compete for food, toys, or attention ever again.

Atticus does have some minor underlying issues that will need some ongoing care for.

Contact us today for an application to see if you are a match for this lovely boy.

This photo and foursome! 😍
Dedicated dog walkers and wonderful Denali!
Rain or shine these volunteers are at the shelter and Denali is always so happy to see them! Even on the soggy days!

Denali has been at the shelter more than 6 months.
Foster her!
Adopt her!
Share her, please 🐾

The amazing volunteers at VAS giving some much needed love cookies and soggy dog walks 🩷🩷
Foster home desperately needed for this big gorgeous gal, she has been at the shelter for over six months now, and her spirits are starting to dim 💕

Well we’ve been visiting with our amazing team at the Vancouver Animal Shelter lately and we have another really sweet gal we’d love to help get into a loving warm bed🩷

Meet Denali she has been sitting for over three mths with no interest.

Denali came to our friends at VAS after her person sadly and very suddenly passed away. She was unsure where she was, where her person was and what would be in store for her next…😔

After a few days of waiting for her person and understandable confusion she realized she was safe.
Her worried eyes got brighter, her tail got waggier and her smile bigger each day. 💗

Denali is a solid girl whose appearance may be deceivingly tough. She is a big, mushy, playful, goofy, happy girl tho!
Give her a minute to suss you out.
Speak to her with a kind voice.
Compliment her stunning brindled coat.
She’s ready to meet you.
Offer her a snack and she’s all yours.
Give her a ball or a toy and see her playful side appear.
Then, take her out for a walk for some one on one time. She will win your heart and offer you hers💜
Denali has been dog neutral and is not a vocal dog, her temperament is truly loving calm and oh so silly!!

Denali has a whole lotta love to give and a big heart wanting to be filled with love again❤️

Denali is always gentle taking her treats but loves to take any opportunity to sit in your chair with you or on your lap! Thus, the super gentle plea! The shelter chairs are not very sturdy! :)

Straight Outta Rescue Society and the shelter are doing their best to help Denali find a home, foster or forever. 💓

Denali has been at the shelter for more than six months now and is starting to loose hope.
She already lost her mom and home, tragically and suddenly. 😢

Please reach out to Straight Outta Rescue Society and/or the shelter to find out more about Denali.

Ellie is focused! She can concentrate on any task despite seriously handsome but rather loud distractions! 📣Ellie knows all her basics and then some. Walks well on leash and loves toys!She has some dog friends at the shelter but is more in to human one on one time. 💛Ellie came in with a dog companion, Tulee.No one is sure what their relationship is to each other tho. Friends for sure and found together in a park in Vancouver. Abandoned, tied to a tree together 😔The more time the staff and volunteers have spent with this duo the less time this duo has wanted to spend together. It has been determined that they would likely be better in separate homes.💗The shelter is seeking foster homes for both dogs as they are now spayed. Both girls are finding shelter life stressful and would love a calmer place to stay temporarily or permanently! Please reach out if you have space in your home and heart for Ellie. (More info about both dogs on Petfinder, Adopt-A-Pet or in our other reels here; scroll down to find more Ellie & Tullie)https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/42797421-vancouver-british-columbia-german-shepherd-dog-mixhttps://www.petfinder.com/dog/ellie-73479412/bc/vancouver/city-of-vancouver-animal-services-bc08/PS - Handsome distraction, Brisket, is also available for adoption! Rest assured he got play time after Ellie! Brisket has never met a toy or person he did not want to play with! He gets a little vocal until it is his turn 🤓Email the shelter for an adoption or foster application and to set up a meet here ~ mailto:[email protected] will get back to you if you are a match 🐾The shelter is so full right now that staff ask for your patience when reaching out for info or applying for a companion.

Top of Tulee’s list of things she loves?
Any guesses 😚

Has to have snacks!
There are lots of things to love about Tulee!
Watching and listening to her chomp away and really taste her snacks is just one🍪

If you enjoy snacking, walks that include time to stop and sniff the world, naps and are looking for a companion; Tulee just may be your perfect match. 💛

Tulee came in with a dog companion, Ellie.
No one is sure what their relationship is to each other tho. Friends for sure and found together in a park in Vancouver. Abandoned, tied to a tree together 😔

The more time the staff and volunteers have spent with this duo the less time this duo has wanted to spend together.
It has been determined that they would likely be better in separate homes at this time. 💗

The shelter is seeking foster homes for both dogs as they are now spayed.
Tulee may be moving to one soon.
Please reach out if you have space in your home and heart for Ellie.

This gorgeous gal is originally from Vancouver Animal Services Shelter. She came in as a found dog with no link to her past.
She was a ray of Sunshine and still is💛

HugABull Advocacy & Rescue Society took her in to their care and she has now been with them some time. She is ready for her forever retirement home now.🩷

Sunset is an absolute gem and the best snuggle buddy anyone could ask for!

Please reach out to HugABull Advocacy & Rescue Society to find out how to make her yours!

Thank you HugABull for everything Sunset 🥰

There is no music or other audio that would show this girls talents off, and our volunteers reaction! Ellie knows her stuff! 🤩

Sometimes drowning out background noise is necessary. It can be distracting to our audience and the dogs. Not to Ellie tho! She will gladly show off her skills despite helicopters overhead, other people and dogs in the background. Just show her the treat! Her focus is back on the assignment 🍪

Ellie is full of surprises! She is super talented and eager to show off her skills! 🤩

Ellie came in with a dog companion, Tulee.No one is sure what their relationship is to each other tho. Friends for sure and found together in a park in Vancouver. Abandoned, tied to a tree together 😔
Everyone is getting to know both Tulee and Ellie better. As their needs and personalities evolve their info will be updated 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

Oh Denali!
We will make sure wherever your home is that is full of stuffies for you! You just love your stuffed animals 🧸

Denali doesn’t ask for much. As big as she is she takes up little space too. Stuffed animals and toys to play with and carry around. A bed near you or just move over! She’d be more than happy to share yours! 🙂

It really doesn’t take much to make this girl happy!
She enjoys being a big puppy and everyone who understands that’s what she is!
A big, goofy girl who loves to play, go for walks and then settle in by your side.
Safety, comfort and calm between playing and little adventures make her a most content companion💖

Denali is starting life over after the sudden loss of her human mom.
She loves women but needs time with men to warm up. Toys, treats, soft voices and kind words win her over💛

If you have a big enough couch for you and Denali she is ready to share it with you!
A big bed would be ideal as well 😘

What these longest term shelter residents want is for you to make their dreams come true! 🌙

These little clips show a bit of their personalities. Each one is very different from the other…

Brisket is young, playful, excitable and loves to smother you with love. He is go, go, go then it is cuddle time💕

Denali is a bit more laid back but still loves a good play session with a stuffie or toy. She is content to be cozied up on a comfy bed for some belly rubs at the end of the day🩷

Finn is another youngster who is raring to go but knows all his basics. He is an enthusiastic, playful guy who loves attention and showing off his skills 💚

Bodie is another youngster who knows knows his basics. He is smart, loyal and ready for pretty much anything! 💙

The one big thing they share in common is their desperate need for a home.
The shelter staff and volunteers do their very best to provide all the animals need while in their care.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to give them all they need to thrive day in and day out.
These four very different dogs need homes to thrive in. Especially witn winter around the corner. It becomes increasingly difficult when outdoor access is limited 🥶

Please reach out to the shelter to find out more about these dogs and the other animals in care.

mailto:[email protected] for an application.
They will get back to you if you are a match 🐾
