Strong Needs Your Help!

Emergency Update!

Our recent emergency rescue dog that was hit by car two nights ago, we have named, Strong.
We are still trying to raise the money needed to cover the extensive vet bills. We have raised around $4000, which is amazing! The bill will reach around 10,000+ after all is said and done with the surgery too. We are almost half way there!

ADOPTABLE DOGS

Adoptable Noir

Adoptable Noir

Meet Adoptable Noir! Noir is a 9-10 week old, female, black coat with white patches, 12lb, mixed breed. We believe she consists of medium and large breeds, that will have her around the 55-75lb range when full grown. Noir is a very sweet and playful pup, that also is a bit reserved at times. She’s a very smart girl, she continues to improve with her potty training, and has done very well in her foster home in. This amazing pup would love a fun and active lifestyle and home that can give her lots of attention, playtime, cuddles, an all the love. She is located in Langford, BC Please apply at raincoastdogrescue.com if you’re interested in adopting Noir.

Adoptable Nova

Adoptable Nova

Nova Update! Nova is a super sweet and beautiful, 40lb, Bulldog, with a merle coat and heterochromia (one brown eye with blue, and one brown eye) that was surrendered to us a month ago. We were told she had one incident with another dog in the home, after living together for 6 months with no issue prior to that. Yet this person was told by another rescue to euthanize her, even know they never even assessed her. Which was absolutely shocking to hear, and absolutely not needed. Nova is definitely not aggressive or reactive to other dogs that we have ever seen. That being said, the actual real and concerning issue was with regurgitating her food on a daily basis,…

Adoptable Odin

Adoptable Odin

Everyone, meet Odin! We just rescued this guy on the north island a week ago. He’s a great dog that has a bit of a rough life so far, but has kept a sweet and loving temperament, nonetheless. He’s missing a fair amount of fur on his back at this time. As you can see in some of the pictures. Odin has thinning and balding areas of fur all along his back from head to tail, which will grown back with a healthy diet, time, love, and patience. Odin is a beautiful and loving soul that just wants to play, explore outside, give all the love, and be a part of the family. Odin is an absolutely stunning and unique…

Happy Tails

Remi

Remi

Adopted! Yayy Remi! Happy Tail – “Remi (formally Chewie) came into our lives in the blink of an eye and changed every part of it for the better. We had always talked about how we hoped our future dog would be an “old man” and that is exactly what Remi has proven to be already. Tall and lanky, playful and smart, but the last one out of bed every morning. He may actually be part cat, as he makes meowing sounds in place of barking. He loves every dog, cat, human and dandelion he meets and already has a long list of close pals. Exploring the forest trails and beaches are by far his favourite pass time – always close…

Zipper

Zipper

Adopted! Yayy Zipper! Happy Tail – Clyde (now Zipper). We welcomed Zipper into our home in August and to say he has brought new energy into our lives is an understatement. This guy bounces, rolls, plays, and zooms with reckless abandon. He is an absolutely riot! His favourite activities are wrestling and running with other dogs at the park, using the sofa as a trampoline, and playing tug or chase. The small critters outside are of particular interest to him so we’re working hard on recall and impulse control to get him out hiking and biking on the trails with us. In the meantime he’s enjoying adventures from the safety of a long lead; he has already explored some of…

Neville

Neville

Adopted! Yaayy Neville! Happy Tail – Coming to us from @RainCoast Dog Rescue Society, “Nervous Neville” traveled all the way from Marley’s Mutts in Bakersfield, California to the wild west (and very wet) coast of Vancouver Island to complete our family. Although he’s still nervous of the sights, smells and sounds of Victoria, Neville is starting to become more and more of a character. Amazing on leash, incredibly attentive and always very close by, Neville has the makings of one perfect pup. We are so happy to be his forever home and we bet that with some time, even Naomi the cat will be excited too. Thanks to the spectacular @Amanda Cribdon Photography for capturing our family 🤍 DM her…

Ripley

Ripley

Adopted! Yayyy Ripley! Happy Tail – We are so lucky to have Ripley (previously Bell) in our lives. From the second we saw her as she came to us as a foster, we knew she wasn’t going anywhere! She had our hearts from “hello”. She gets sillier by the day and absolutely loves to go for a good swim, but most of all, she just wants to cuddle with her people. She’s a pro cuddler. We are so grateful for RainCoast Dog Rescue and Marley’s Mutts for helping save this beautiful soul and bringing her to us. Welcome to the family, Ripley!

Scout

Scout

Adopted! Yaayy Scout! Happy Tail – This is Scout. He’s the best little boy ever. He came into my life unexpectedly, as I only intended to foster him, (along with his mom and sister) for a short period of time until the kitties got adopted and the mom got sent back to her family. I was on the hunt for a pup actually. But while I was fostering him and his mom/sister, he would climb onto my lap and cuddle with me and sleep next to me all the time. He was super playful and wouldn’t leave me alone. Needless to say I fell in love with little Scout and decided to keep him. He’s been the best little companion…
