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 Appa!

Adoptable Appa!

Meet Adoptable Appa! This sweet little dude is a Shepard mix, supposedly his Dad was part Mastiff. He is 6 months old and growing like a weed. He was originally brought in as an 8 week puppy by a couple in their early 20’s, then and he was recently in need of a new home. His current foster family took him on so they could foster, and reached out to Raincoast so they could match him with his perfect humans. Here are some words form his foster family: Appa is extremely smart, this guy needs a human with a passion for training experience. He could be a search and rescue dog, an agility course ninja, a scent games super star….

Adoptable River

Adoptable River

Meet Adoptable River! River is such a beautiful soul, we love her so much. She is 2 and half years old, and originally from Bella Bella. River was adopted as a puppy from Raincoast. She is sweet and gentle. She loves the humans in her life very deeply. Once you’re part of her pack, she will love you more than anything. She loves to go on walks, swim, fish for rocks and little fish, and adventure in nature. She needs about 2 hours of walking a day to be a happy pup. She loves to be thrown the ball with her chuck-it. She also loves going mountain biking with her human. She is extra soft, truly the softest dog you…

Adoptable Xena Pups

Adoptable Xena Pups

Momma Xena’s pups are officially up for adoption! These 10, absolutely beautiful, American Pit Bull Terrier X Cane Corso pups consist of 5 female and 5 males. They will be adopted out starting next weekend, after they clear their health checks and first vaccines. They are currently located in Victoria, BC. We are kindly asking that anyone who is interested have a very active lifestyle, with a good size living space, lots of time to train, enrich, and socialize their puppy. These are large and powerful breeds that are not for your average dog owner. The reality is they take a lot of work, and need to have an experienced, dedicated, and strong owner with good leadership skills and confidence….

Adoptable Sage

Adoptable Sage

Meet Adoptable Sage 🩷 Sage is five years old, female, 50lb, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and full of spunk, wiggles and love. Sage is fully crate trained, does well with other dogs (without toys/food around), LOVES people and is fine chilling at home on her own. She is so full of love that sometimes she doesn’t know what to do with it all. Over our time with Sage she has come a long way. She is trained on place, has basic recall (when her senses don’t get the best of her) and a good understanding of basic commands. She lives with another dog and does really well, is so cuddly and sweet, has a great personality, and loves to explore the…

Adoptable Topanga

ADOPTION PENDING.. Adoptable Topanga! Topanga is a beautiful, 2-3 year old, female, 60lb, tri-colour, mixed breed. Topanga came to us as a Momma with puppies a few months ago, and they have since been adopted out. Topanga is such a sweetheart. DM us for any questions. Words from her foster Mom: Topanga, is a fun loving girl that loves people and other dogs. Has a high prey drive. Barking is as far as she goes until she can sniff you and then you are best friends. High energy, will keep up and spend days on the couch with you when needed. Will do anything for treats and is super smart. Can entertain herself but prefers to play with you. Can…

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…
