The Cabbage Patch Kids
"The Cabbage Patch Kids" came into the Vancouver Animal Shelter after being abandoned by their owner. Three months old, and having never ventured outside their basement suite apartment, these pups needed to play catch up about the whole world. Luckily foster homes stepped up for all of them, and quickly began introducing them to how much fun this busy place can be.
Artichoke, now Duncan, is living with Crystal and Paul. Upstairs lives Crystal's sister and her husband, and their two Dobermans. Duncan is already a pro at camping! Thank-you to Erin for fostering him.
Radish has gone to live in Mission with Lindsey, Greg and their laid-back cat. Her new name is Quila! Thank-you to Emily for fostering her.
Sprout has moved to Vancouver, to live
with Theresa, John, their 13 year old Husky x Collie boy. It is a family endeavor, as their adult kids are just as excited about the new addition! Thank-you to Michelle, Barry, and Fin the pooch for taking care of Sprout until she found her home!
Yam aka Macy, has gone to live in Chilliwack with Kelly, Jason and cat Bella. She is one well-loved pup. Thank-you Miranda and Matt for fostering her!
And last, but certainly not least, the Broccoli, now known as Baxter Ulysses Mercury, has headed home with Pheonix, Brennan, their no so thrilled cat Pixel, and 3 snakes. We will get to watch Mr. Underbite grow up, which is pretty exciting! Thank-you Emily for fostering him.

Jack
Jack was up on petfinder for less than a day when his family to be applied to adopt him! Brita, Peter, their kids live in Bellingham, and have previously had two other Golden Retrievers. Jack's new mom is a vet so all his needs will be taken care of, plus he gets to go to work with her. He resides with Kiwi the Papillion and two cats. Jack officially hit the jackpot of homes!
Chimo now Jake
Chimo, now Jake, came into the District of North Vancouver Animal Shelter as timid stray. He quickly had everyone on staff pretty smitten though, with his perfect puppy manners. To the amazement of all, this 4 month old lad never went potty inside the shelter! Pretty impressive smarts. He was quickly scooped up by Peter, who was looking for just the right dog to join on his life adventures. This sweet twosome are already traveling across Canada for their first tour!
Erioc now Picot
Picot (formerly Erioc) was oh so popular when he hit the adoptables page of Bully Buddies. A Dogo x American Bulldog, with handsome spots and a dorky persona had many folks applying. Amongst them was Dao and Luc. They came up from Seattle and totally fell for them, but unfortunately the building manager decided that he did not want "one of those dogs" living in the apartment building.
So Picot went back up for adoption while Dao and Luc worked hard to convince their building manager to allow Picot. Well all that effort convinced the manager, and Picot has become an American citizen! They are continuing to work hard with Picot, and have him in training to help him become a well-behaved dork. Thank-you to Zoe for committing to him, Kirstan from Recycle-A-Bull for doing the homecheck, and Dao and Luc for showing as much intelligence and tenacity as the breeds we adore.
Brad Pitt
Ok so Brad Pitt was never officially a 'Bully Buddies' dog, but how can we not be anything but thrilled that he has finally found his home? Brad attended our weekly obedience classes, spiffying up on his obedience, and making all us volunteers swoon (he's named Brad Pitt for a reason, this is one handsome fella). He had a number 1 fan in North Van shelter worker Rhegan, who well became very protective of her favorite gent. So when Brett applied for a dog that already had a home, we mentioned the idea of meeting Brad. Brett had to squeek by Rhegan's seal of approval, and attend classes in order to finalize the adoption. As you can see from the photo below Brett and Brad work oh so well together!
How can you not love Ricky?
Here is the truth, a quick stop at the Coquitlam Animal Shelter led one of the Directors of Bully Buddies completely smitten with Ricky. When a wee little gremlin flops upside-down, straight into your lap and announces "Hi, I am Ricky, and I loovvveeeee you," how could you not fall in love?
So long story shot, Ricky ended up with Bully Buddies and settled himself in quickly with Dayna, Malcolm, BB alumni Emma and their crew of cats. Not surprisingly he quickly raked in numerous applications, but the family who ended up with him had actually applied for a different dog. When we saw their application we knew that Ricky was just the ticket. With two young active kids, an older female Husky cross, and a cat, Penny and Paul had a busy house that needed just the right fit. Little, I love everybody Ricky, wooed the whole clan during the meet-and-greet, and wiggled his way home. He even has another BB Alumni as a new best friend (Creasha) who comes over for regular play-dates!
Annie now Friday
Little Orphan Annie, now Friday, spent her puppyhood in a backyard, tied up to a chain. Luckily one day she escape and ended up at Victoria CRD. Her coat was patchy from mange so she headed over to Bully Buddies. Friday is as unique looking as they come- everyone has a different breed guess, but she won't tell us what her breed mix is. Very happy, but with little training, she spent time with both Teresa, and Meghan/Zach, learning all about being a city dog. She is now living in the heart of downtown Vancouver, learning all about being an apartment dwelling, city dog. Her dedicated new mom Sarah is taking her to training, and they are busy growing together! We can't wait to see Friday all shiny, and grown up!
Jemmi now Gracie
Can't tell you how great "Gracie" has been. I am actually a little amazed. She's so gentle and loving to our daughter and has been looking to all of us for ques almost immediately. She loves her yard and she's been spoiled with toys LOL. It's like we have another baby. She plays great, she has not had an accident potty training wise once and has just been a total joy.
Diego now Milo
Diego, now Milo, has been adopted by his foster family, and truth be told we can't blame them! He is one sweet, big-headed pooch. This Border Collie x Pit Bull got the best traits of both breeds. His former family obviously took good care of him as he sailed right into Samonte and Louis's life as if was no big deal... and quickly showed off all of his great manners. Did we mention that he LOVES to play fetch. Thanks to the Nanaimo SPCA for taking great care of him in the interm- life is looking pretty great for Milo!
Peewee!
Thank-you to Care Collars for sponsoring Peewee www.carecollars.com
Care Collars makes fantastic animal collars, leashes and harness, with all proceeds going towards the medical bills of rescue animals.
Peewee came to Bully Buddies shy, spotted with mange, and limping on a broken leg. She was not yet 4 months old, but she sure was a bit worse for wear. Foster mom Emily put quick work to catching Peewee up on her missed socialization, and soon she was blossoming into a brave little Pit Bull. She refined her LOVE for car rides, and couch lounging. Even better, her once dubious looking leg continued to heal amazingly well, as did her mange spots.
The Clark family was searching for the right pooch to join their family, and having previously owned a Staffordshire in England, they knew just how great these dogs are. Peewee is loving the kids in her new home, and is sporting a new pink raincoat!
Thank-you to Emily and Co for fostering her, Trenant Park Pet Clinic for figuring out her leg for us, and to the Clark's for giving her a home of her own.
Marvin now Luca!
Right as Marvin and Melvin came unexpectedly into our care, Luis and Kelly sent off an email for another dog who had already found a home. Given their love for extra large dogs, we mentioned the pups to them. They headed out the same day to sneak a peek of them at the vets, and quickly fell in love! In a bit of a whirlwind, Marvin- now Luca- headed home only to come down with the flu. Luca ended up spending the first week with his family at the vets on IV's- a bit of a rough start. However he is now home, and we can't wait to watch Luca grow! Thank-you to Kelly and Luis for being so committed to your goofy pup.
Melvin now Louis
When some tenants got evicted from their house, Melvin, now Louis, and his brother Luca were left behind. The landlord called Central City Animal Hospital, who then called us. The Roots family had been waiting to adopt a Mastiff mix pup, so we contacted them when these boys came into our care. Sure enough, they met him and were completely smitten. After a bout with the flu, Louis is now back home with his new family, and getting spoiled. We can't wait to see photos of him all grown up!
Huckleberry
Huckleberry's foster family started to fall in love with him before he even arrived. This boy arrived was sold to a pet store by his less than stellar "breeder." At 9 weeks old he ended up at the Dawson Creek SPCA, with a pit stop at the Quesnel SPCA, before coming down to us. He is a registered boy so we wanted his new people to use his registered status to help show off what a a great breed this is, neutered and all!
So Huckleberry made his way down to the Lower Mainland, and sure enough his foster folks quickly admitted defeat- he was home for good. Big sister Jaeden is an amazing breed ambassador and the perfect sized Pit Bull, whom Huck is quickly out-growing. Jaeden has been a therapy dog, and once Huck gets older he will hopefully be as well. Time will tell what other great doggy activities he gets into, but we know one thing for sure, his folks are guaranteed to raise him to be a great representative of the breed.
Pickles now Apollo
Pickles came to us in an emergency sort of fashion, and luckily Nicola and Co. stepped up to temporarily foster him. This Pointer x Lab boy was all dork- hence being dubbed after recently adopted Nicholas. Meanwhile the Vernon family was looking for the right dog to adopt. Their Dalmation boy had passed away much too young, due to cancer. They had applied for another dog who was not the right match for them, but when we suggested Pickles, he was an instant hit. In a whirlwind of adventure, Pickles was quickly swept off to his new home along the beaches of Victoria. Pickles, now renamed Apollo, is fitting himself right in to his new home, and loving life. Thank-you to Deanie, John, Johnny and Kristen Vernon for providing such a great home to Apollo. We look forward to hearing all about his adventures!
Everything is going great with Pickles, who we have renamed Apollo (like the Greek god). He is fitting into our house really well and seems happy. He is still sleeping with my parents every night, and likes to wake up really early and go wake up everyone else in the house too! He loves having his own yard and is really good about not barking at people walking by however, he did dig up a palm tree yesterday in the yard which he felt bad about afterwards. The first two days he was'nt very interested in eating his food, but now that he is more comfortable he is eating regularly and enthusiastically! He loves going for runs in the morning and is really good at not pulling on the leash. He also really loves going to the dog park near our house. He is great off-leash too and doesn't run off too far when he is playing with other dogs. I have attached some pictures of him at the dog park this morning.
A couple days ago we took Apollo to the pet store and bought him some toys and some organic blueberry dog treats that he really loves. He has already ripped up and de-stuffed the moose toy that he got which was really funny to watch! He is such a sweet dog and we are really happy to have him as part of our family.
Cheyenne
Rumour has it that when Cheyenne's new home got officially approved, there was some screaming in excitement! When foster mom Zoe met Chey's potential folks she knew right away that this was her match. In a whirlwind of adventure Rebecca and Chris quickly fell in love, and well Cheyenne loves absolutely everybody, but she thought that these folks were particularly cool as they thought her kissy ways were great. Cheyenne really deserves an award for mile a minute kissing! She is now living in Burnaby in a busy household that includes two cats and a guinea pig. An update from her people:
Everything seems to be going great. Cheyenne is being a good girl- she's so smart and we all love her. We're looking forward to taking her to the pit bull lessons in the park, and we're also looking into doing a few private sessions with a Rocket Dog trainer. My cats spent yesterday in our bedroom closet but have since ventured downstairs, although we haven't actually managed to get them in the same room together. Still, they're getting braver much more quickly than we thought.
She's met a bunch of my friend and my mom and everyone loves her. Not as much as us- we're so happy she came to live with us.
Macy
Macy has found her home! She has gone to live on the North Shore with Kimberly, Kevin and 12 year-old Keith. She is reportedly loving the North Shore lifestyle and can be seen frequenting some favorite hiking spots! Better yet, she gets to go to work with her new mom. Thank-you to Zoe for fostering her, Jean for caring for her in memory of Macy's brother Caleb, and Kim for knowing that she was just the right match!
Merry
Meanwhile a wonderful lady named Roxanne fell in love with Merry. We were all so thrilled that such a gentle dog had found an equally gentle woman. Unfortunately the first day home led to even more adventures when Merry pulled out of her collar and was again was on the lam. It took a whole crew of dedicated folks to finally out-smart Merry once again. Marry made the most of life on the streets of Kitsilano, and showed off just how street-savvy she was. A month later, a live trap, and Roxanne's home-cooked steak led to the secret combo that would get Merry back. She is now living with Roxanne once again, only now she wears a harness when out and about! She is learning all about life as a spoiled house pet, and especially enjoys hanging out with all the other dogs in the building. Thank-you so much to everyone who helped get Merry back safely, and most of all thank-you to Roxanne who never gave up on getting her girl home.
Bentley
Goofy, charismatic Bentley just could not catch any breaks when it came to finding a home. He came into Vancouver Animal Shelter back in December. He sat around with little interest until he found a home that ended up not being the right match for him- sometimes that happens despite the best of intentions. When he got returned we decided to pull him into our program as shelter environments are not the best places for impressionable puppies to grow up in! He headed into foster care with Emily, her partner and their multitude of animals (dogs, cat, horses, and a miniature donkey). Bentley fit himself in instantly, showing off what a smart boy he is.
Bentley was also very appropriate around horses, respectfully giving them space, and proving himself to have good potential as a trail riding partner. This can sometimes be hard to come by, so we were all hoping that these good skills would come to use in his home to be. Sure enough, he was spotted by Rebie and her son Zane. They have 2 cats, 5 horses, and a very spirited goat! They needed a dog just like Bentley, and everyone loved each other instantly (although Bentley did get head-butted by the goat when he tried to make friends!).
An update from his new home:
He has settled in wonderfully. He is so smart. He is starting to show a bit more of his personality every day as he gets more comfortable. He did whine a little when Emily left. We live near a trail and park and Bentley has already made a play friend. Though I must say, he is very much a bed hog. My resistance was futile. And if there was ever an eating contest, hands down he'd win. The hiccups are really cute but I have hopes that one day he will realize that if he slows down, he won't get them. Thanks again for such a wonderful gent. I have a found a great companion and he has found his forever home.
Winston
Winston has found his home! He has gone to live with Serena and her lovely pooch and cat. Better yet, Serena's mom and brother live in the upstairs part of the house, so he has many folks to shower him with love. Winston came in as a wee pup to the North Vancouver Animals Shelter, and despite his rough start in life, was mighty convinced that the world was his oyster. He still thinks that everyone loves him, but his life has definitely taken a turn for the better! Thank-you to the District of North Vancouver Animal Shelter for doing so well by him, and Serena for patiently waiting for your right dog.
Nicholas
Nicholas the court jester, is the upside-down Pointer x Pit boy who is 100% ball-obsessed. He can open fridges and undo backpacks by unzipping the zipper. He is a talented boy who is full of surprises. He also had kidney damage due to a misadventure with a bottle of Tylenol. However, in true Nicholas style he pulled yet another fast one when all of his recent Kidney results came back completely normal. His new home was prepared to adopt him regardless of the results, but are of course thrilled that he is doing so good!
Nicholas has officially found his dream home, and we couldn't be happier for him! He is now living on the Sunshine Coast with Becky and Tom; their two grown-up kids, Will and Beth; and their beautiful Pit mix Misty. The family was mourning the loss of their other dog Sparky, when Becky spotted Nicholas on petfinder. The family was not quite ready to adopt a new dog, but something about Nicholas drew Becky in. On her next trip to Vancouver she stopped in to meet him, and the following weekend she came back to take him home!
Here are some updates from his family:
Things are going great with Nicholas. He is really settling in and he and Misty even played a bit together yesterday for the first time.
He is a wonderful dog and did you know that he can cover himself up with a blanket. Heard some scuffling on the bed last night while I was working at my computer, turned around and there he was settling in under the fleece blanket that I lay over top of my comforter which he managed to get himself under all by himself. He really is the funniest dog. We all love him to pieces and even my daughter Beth has finally melted and is starting to lavish attention on him (after Misty of course).
I just also wanted to tell you that I think Nicholas is just about the smartest dog ever! He now has taken to getting his leash out himself. Yesterday, when I was getting ready to go for a walk I was heading down the hall and he sprinted ahead and I heard rattling in the bin where I store the leashes and out he comes with one. Today, when I got home from work, even though I took them out before work and then whipped home at lunch and took them up to the park for a ball throw, he got out both leashes as soon as I walked in the door as if to say "come on, lets go now!" Pretty darn cute.
Got the care collar today and Will is trying it out with him as we speak.
I am going to start some leash training and beginner agility with him next Monday to see if we can't get him walking better and burning some more energy. I'm pretty excited to give it a try and I think he might be awesome at the agility. He really is a very intelligent dog. I've never had such a smart dog before and it is pretty entertaining.
Butter now Rhea
Butter, now Rhea, has been adopted by such a great home! Sophie, Bryce and their 3 year old daughter Kiera were looking for a sweet pooch to fit into their home. Rhea is having tons of fun in her new home- they are active, fun and loving. What more could a Pit Bull ask for?
Daisy Duke now Indigo
Daisy Duke came to us from Chilliwack Animal Control as a stout puppy! She wasn't even a planned pick-up, but one of our volunteers happened to visit, and fell a little bit in love with her sweet face. Thankfully the Kaprova's and their lovely Pit Bull Max were waiting for their first foster dog. They did an amazing job raising Daisy Duke up right, and bringing her to weekly Behaviour for Bullies classes. As she grew she began to look less and less like an American Bulldog, and more like a good old-fashioned mix breed girl. New pictures from Pit Ed classes led to a flurry of applications for Daisy. Jennifer and Gilles fell in love with her as soon as they saw her. She showed off her best moves to them at class, and soon that were smitten. We look forward to hearing about all her many adventures in life!
We're thrilled to report that Daisy (now called "Indigo" ~ Indie for short!) is adjusting well to life with the Forts! :) She is sleeping well, hiking well and generally keeping us entertained. She has even had a number of solid poops, a good sign of contentment... hahaha I know I sound like a "proud momma" but she is seriously SMART! Sneaky, cute, but altogether a canine genius!
Honey-Bunny now Halo
Who knew that this tiny, dumpster-diving, street urchin would grow up to be such a BIG sweetheart. Honey came to us skinny little red-nose pup, and now at 6 months old is hitting the scales at 70 lbs. Obviously we got our breed ID wrong, and have ended up with an easy-going gal with a kind mastiff temperament.
Meanwhile, Cinzia was looking for a best friend and companion. She came to Vancouver to meet Daisy Duke, but one kiss from Honey and we knew who Honey was heading home with. Honey, now named Halo, has moved over to Vancouver Island and has quickly taken over Cinzia's couch (and bed). We are all so happy with this match! Thank-you to Linda for taking in this back alley pup and transporting her to vet visits; Dayna, Malcolm, BB's alumni Emma, and patient cats for fostering Honey; and Cinzia for being so open to finding the right match- you have found a fantastic dog in Halo!
Frankie
Oh Frankie! Sometimes it takes a bit of work to love a dog like Frankie. He is a lot of dog, and a lot of brains for one little herding breed. He challenged our Pit Bull rescue with his lack of "OMG I LOVE YOU PLEASE LET ME KISS YOU" personality that we are used to in our rescue dogs. Frankie preferred to take relationships as a slower pace, you have to earn his love. Add in some naughty herding behaviours, and you have a bit of a challenge. Well Frankie did fall in love, and found someone who loved him back- his foster mom Claire. There is no denying that they are totally in love with each other, and Frankie is totally spoiled rotten. Frankie is officially home for good!
Sarah
Sarah is a dog that many people rallied around to help her find her way. She was adopted from the SPCA as a cute little Mastiff mix pup. Unfortunately her owner did not take good care of her, and she came back abused, with an untreated case of demodectic mange. SPCA staff Stephanie fell in love with her and worked hard to find Sarah a foster home where she could recoup in. Lucky for her Alex and family agreed to temporarily foster her, and then Teresa took her in for continued fostering. She started to not only look better, but also began to learn how to be a dog.
Mary Jo, and her two kids Elijah and Ivy, were looking for an easy-going companion to join their home. They needed a cat friendly dog, who was just as happy lounging around the house as she was going for hike. Sarah is now loving life in Sooke, BC. Her mange continues to heal, and we can't wait to see pictures of her with a nice, shiny coat! An update from her new mom:
Sarah is doing really well and we are really enjoying her!
She likes going on walk on the various trails in Sooke.
And she even likes the cats. Pie (the black kitten) thinks he is
dog so they actually play together and like in this photo, sleep
together.
Best, Mary Jo
Cole now Finn
Shireen and Patrick were on the hunt for an easy-going, young Pit mix when they spotted Cole on petfinder. They were no longer satisfied by borrowing other people's dogs, plus the timing was perfect for getting a pup, as Shireen had just taken a break from work. Foster parents Jody and Cori knew that Shireen and Patrick were the right match for easy-going Cole as soon as they met up. Best of all they live in the same neighborhood as Finn's dog mom Merry, and dog brother Harley. They are also signed up for the same obedience classes as a couple of his siblings are taking! We can't wait for Cole to grow up to be a great ambassadog for Pit mixes.
Dexter
Dexter's foster mom Maya (and house-mates) have decided that Dexter is home for good. We can't wait to watch this "little" guy grow up! They are working hard to make sure Dexter can become all he can be.
Momma Martini came into our care with a litter of 9 young puppies, a horrible home crop job, and the sweetest personality. She was a great mom, and soon her puppies found homes of their own. Meanwhile Martini chilled out in foster care and garnered a huge fan club. even the vet wished that he could bring her home. She was fostered by Tami, then Jenn and Al, then Jo-Anne and Steve, each time fitting herself in as if she had always lived there. After a number of dead-ends Martini got the application we were all waiting for. Eric and Aggie saw her on petfinder and fell in love with her soulful eyes. They were seeking out a dog who was easy-going in the house, but still active out and about. When they went to met Tini she promptly rolled over on her back and awaited belly rubs! Needless to say they were smitten. Tini officially has a home of her own!
Cali
Cali went straight from animal control to a foster-to-adopt home that had been waiting for an adult mastiff type dog. Within a few days we received this email from her hopeful parents, Jenni and Christian.
"OK, so there's NO WAY you're EVER getting this dog back. We are keeping her PERMANENTLY!!! She's so wonderful. I just took her out in the snow up around our place...and we had races...and she likes to eat snow balls. It's pretty funny."
Thank-you to Kristen for alerting us of her need for placement, Michelle and Barry for not only temporarily fostering her but also bringing her over to her Vancouver Island home, and finally Jenni and Christian for falling in love with her!
Noelle now Belle
When foster mom Jody took two of Merry's pups in, she did so because her best friend Cori had just moved in to her house, and could help out! Well Cori them with her to her sister’s house one day and her brother in law sat down on the floor to play with them. Noelle curled up in his lap and that was it!!! Cori brought them over there a couple times that week and Mark even came home for lunch to visit with her. The whole family was very smitten with her, even when she gets them up in the night for a potty break!
Here is an update from Noelle, now named Belle, new home:
What can be said about our beautiful little Belle (formerly known as Noelle) except that she has seamlessly become apart of our family and it feels like she was always meant to be here. She loves lots of playtime, kisses, cuddles and to follow our son Matthew around wiggling her bum and tail the whole time. Such a little princess who loves to meet other dogs, kids and anyone else who wants to give her some attention. We look forward to taking her hiking, boating and camping this summer, she will never be bored.
Many thanks to everyone at Bully Buddies for bringing this special girl into our lives, she will always be loved and cared for.
Cheers,
The Jensens
TInsel now Sampson
Tinsel, now Sampson, headed to Charlotte and Mike's as a temporary foster, but alas he never left! Here is a note from his awesome new family:
Sampson is the most well behaved puppy I have ever met! He has already mastered how to "shake a paw", "sit" and "down"....such a smart dude! He loves everyone and everything he mets....especially small kids and LARGE dogs. His sweet smile, warm personality and eagerness to explore life melted our hearts. Our cat Jag adores him...and his toys! They often drink out of the bowl together and share dinner...so so cute. He has moulded into our family like he knew he always belonged...I'm so glad we were given the chance to foster him, even though it clearly FAILED!!!...he he he
Nothing phases our Sampson, every dog,cat,person,child he meets,he loves and wants to play with. Sampson enjoys his car rides and trips to the beach...he is the best companion in the world!His growing sense of loyalty is second to none. We are ever so greatful to bullybuddies, the work they do and the lives they change.
