Grizzly's Story

About Grizzly<br/><br/>Grizzly has spent a few weeks in foster care and is settling in beautifully! He’s a calm, gentle giant who loves cuddles - even if he doesn’t quite realize just how big he is. Grizzly has met a few dogs and is generally social with smaller ones, but he can be reactive toward larger males. Because of his size and strength, we’re currently looking for a home without other pets while he continues building confidence and working on his training.<br/><br/>Training & Support<br/>Grizzly is already showing promise with his manners and is respectful around cats. He’s still learning his leash skills, so continued positive, reward-based training will help him become more comfortable and reliable on walks. Gentle guidance, patience, and consistency will go a long way in helping him shine. A home with a yard would be ideal, giving him a safe space to practice his leash skills and stretch his legs.<br/><br/>Ideal Home<br/>Grizzly would do best in a calm home without other pets, where his people can focus on his training and give him plenty of love and attention. His new family should be prepared for a big dog who is equal parts cuddly and strong, and who thrives with gentle guidance. With time, patience, and structure, Grizzly will blossom into a loyal, affectionate companion.<br/><br/>-------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Ready to Meet Grizzly?<br/><br/>If you would like to meet Grizzly, please reach out to <br/><br/>https://straightouttarescuesociety.ca/ <br/><br/>Grizzly is being cross posted for a local rescue who took him into care from our shelter.<br/><br/>Applications can be downloaded directly from their website by copying and pasting the link below <br/><br/>https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SORS/Dog

City of Vancouver Animal Services's Adoption Policy
Please note, in order to create a calm environment for our adoptable animals, we use appointment system for viewings. This ensures that the animals are not stressed out by having too many visitors, and that our potential adopters are well-served by our Animal Care Attendants. How to Adopt a Pet: Step 1 - View the pets available online and fill in an adoption application form (see link below). Step 2 - Email the application form to: animal.shelter@vancouver.ca Step 3 - If you're a match, we will email you to arrange a viewing appointment. If you're coming to view a dog, please note the following: You will be able to take it for a walk at the viewing appointment. When you visit, please bring everyone who lives in the home, including children. If you already own a dog, you'll need to bring them too. Please let our staff know if advance if you have another dog, as we will need to be adequately prepared for a dog meet-up.
